Episode 39: Bart the Murderer (...but we're so PC! We're SO PC!)

Jason Pollock and I sit down to talk about arguably the first really funny episode of the series! Well, ok... Maybe that's an exaggeration. But it's the first genuinely good, funny episode that Pollock and I have talked about. And it's most definitely the first great episode of Season 3. 

Pollock and I talk about that and we also go off on a couple of tangents about how stupid it is in this day and age to rail against "PC culture" and "Cancel Culture," when you consider that an episode like this - which is about a 10-year-old-boy who is working for the mafia and is put on trial for murder - is allowed to stream in its entirety and free of any disclaimers on Disney Plus.

That's definitely something to ponder. But also worth pondering is how good this episode really is, how much fun Joe Mantegna has playing Fat Tony and, well, how The Simpsons was once upon a time truly a landmark comedy series, which this episode is clear evidence of.

It's a fun discussion.

Dig in.
