Episode 35: Blood Feud; or When Did Fox Lose its Edge?

Well... Here we are at the season's end. And, as it was with season one, so too it is that Mike Drew Flynn is on hand... to discuss "Blood Feud," which although technically the "last" episode of Season 2, actually aired in the middle of the summer hiatus. And so, in essence almost serves as a kind of bridge into the next season...where The Simpsons really took off and began its tenure as the cultural benchmark and premiere source of social satire of the 1990s.

Flynn and I discuss this very funny episode, but more than anything we reflect on this particular time and place; and The Simpsons' place in the cultural zeitgeist. We reflect on the first two seasons of the show in general, and look forward to seeing where things take us in the seasons to come.


At this point, the podcast will go on a brief hiatus... But it will return (in its regular time slot of Thursday evenings) in mid December.

In the meantime, why not catch up with the first two seasons? 

A good way to do that is by subscribing to The Erix Antoine Network on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ2AzQd3F3yfQ_kdoOM9Y_A 

Or, assuming you haven't already, go ahead and subscribe to this podcast on whatever platform you're listening to right now.

If you are fully caught up, maybe you can check out my new podcast Discovering The X-Files. It's available on all the same platforms as this and will continue uninterrupted through the hiatus, twice a week - on Mondays and Fridays.


If you don't care for The X-Files but want to keep tabs on me anyway...

Stay safe.
