What happens when Homer Simpson recreates the misadventures of a weird Canadian outdoorsman? You get the last ep of production season 14, where Homer battles a bear after shopping for Mother's Day gifts. Following our review of the this ep's "Project Grizzly" origins, we dig into how this story of the hunter becoming the hunter won an enviromental award 20 years ago. Plus, podcast chat of Veggietales, Walmart, bear mascots, and all the other stuff we were scared of in 2003!

My zoo has a sloth bear and a short-clawed otter in the same enclosure, the otters run around the bear and chirp at it while the bear is just trying to eat its big pile of apples and swats them away. Bears are fun to watch.

I'm guessing the episode title is a reference to The Fast and the Furious, but since it is a cartoon and it's The Simpsons it could also be a reference to the Road Runner cartoon The Fast and the Furry-ous. I love Bad Santa. The Blu Ray release for it is pretty great too because it has the director's cut, which was basically just the original cut of the film. The ending isn't that different, except the kid exits his house during the voiceover to clean Willie's blood off the sidewalk instead of to wash his new bike. A lot of the more slapstick scenes were added at the studio's insistence to make the film both funnier and to soften the Willie character. The boxing match, fried bologna, and even the makeup advent calendar scene were some of the ones added. There's also an interview by Ebert of Terry Zwigoff which is pretty good. Bad Santa 2 is indeed pretty bad. I saw it with my brother-in-law in theaters and we both had very little to say after. Final Fantasy X-2 is a pretty good game. It's too bad so many missed it back in the day because it was "the gay Final Fantasy." Getting the best ending was tedious, but that's the case of most games. And as the last Final Fantasy to have a more traditional JRPG battle system, it does hold a special place in my heart.

Been waiting for you guys to finally cover this one so that I can tell my bear attack story. In the summer of 2000, I was on a two week camping and hiking trip in New Mexico. About the middle of the trip, while sleeping at the peak of one of the taller mountains in the area, I was woken up by a sharp pain in my ankle. At first I thought maybe a tree branch had fallen onto the tent, because even in the dim light I could still sort of see that the corner of the tent where my feet were was a little collapsed. But then I heard rustling and snorting outside the tent. I woke up my friend and told him I thought a bear was outside the tent. He was unsure at first, because we had taken the correct precautions and stored all our food, soaps, etc... in bear bags. We both listened a little longer and finally he agreed there was a bear. So we started doing what we were taught to do; we yelled clapped our hands, and just tried to make as much noise as we could to both scare it off, and alert everyone else at the campsite there was a bear. But unfortunately, this only seemed to make it mad and it started swiping it's claw at the tent. We kept making noise while trying as best we could to back away from that side of the tent. We thought we had finally scared it off, when suddenly I saw my friends face whip back around, and blood started pouring down his face. The bear swiped once more at the tent and managed to just get my friend. We screamed louder and by that point someone else in the campsite had gotten up and managed to start banging some pots and pans together to finally scare it off. No one got any sleep the rest of the night as we were all worried it may come back. My friend was lucky, he only got the very tips of the claws, and they missed his eyes, mouth, and nose. If you look closely, he still has a very small scar on his eyebrow to this day. I was even luckier, as my ankle injury only caused me a small limp for a day or so. https://www.newson6.com/story/5e3685022f69d76f6209a4f2/drought-blamed-for-bear-attacks-at-scout-ranch

enjoyed the megastore chatting. one of my first real disconnects with the American psyche as a kid was going to the grand opening of a "Super Target" in suburban Austin TX where a jazz band was in the lobby performing "Cut the Cake" by Average White Band. There was some guy in a Target vest doing Michael Jackson style dances for a crowd of onlookers and a Target employee asked me if I wanted a picture with him. I very plainly said "I don't know who that is" and they looked a little taken aback. As a ten year old I found myself thinking "this is America, huh? This is what we do when a Target opens?"

My favorite reference to the "Only her hairdresser knows for sure" is in 1989's Batman. When the Joker takes over the tv broadcast to advertise the poison he's added to everything, he says "With hair color so natural, only your undertaker knows for sure." The reference went over my head as a kid but it's still a funny enough joke that it works on its own, I think.

Veggietales creator Phil Vischer seems to be a pretty normal guy all things considered, did a lot of stuff supporting BLM in 2020 about systemic racism in America. When DreamWorks Animation bought the IP and rebooted it seems like they filled it with a bunch of conservative entertainment industry guys behind the scenes so it could be the DreamWorks version of something like PureFlix (including Doug TenNapel and MST3K’s Michael J Nelson) but it seems like that era of the Vegs is over and they’re back to doing everything in house again.

Henry, you were so close to the Celestial Seasonings Tea factory located just West of Denver, outside of Boulder! It’s a cool tour which includes a peppermint room. Definitely check it out the next time you visit Denver.

I posted a long comment about families in the south, mine included; plus the Texas/Arkansas rivalry (and its renewed relevance in 2024! Truly the best time to be a college football fan); plus, the Vancouver -> Memphis transition and how I went to see my first NBA game there after DragonCon, my favorite thing to do in Atlanta, oh I miss it. It got too long, too terrible, and too sad so this will serve as its gravestone. I'm always here for Bob + Henry's takes on the south. We're trying down here (and have been for a long time) and it's a goddamn mess

As a British Millennial, I genuinely don’t remember Paddington playing any part in my formative years. Paddington-mania was closer to my mum’s generation. The first really significant mention of him, and his stupid little hat, I remember was during Brexit, when all British people had to reaffirm their allegiance to the Commonwealth by reciting, by heart, the plot to Paddington 2, or risk being deported.

Apparently VeggieTales is no longer in production because DreamWorks (the IP holders) allegedly screwed the creators over pay and also the creators had dissatisfaction with Doug TenNapell’s reboot for the studio. Would be interesting to hear a WAC on VeggieTales going over all this history and drama. Seems like a lot to work with considering it was an early CGI success story before Toy Story that had a home grown beginning.

I was curious, so I plugged oldcoot.com into the WayBackMachine. Turns out Granpa Cratchet has owned the domain since June 2001, the same month Fast & the Furious was released. We're through the looking glass, people.
