This mash-up of baseball and musicals is cause for the return of Will Sloan, the cohost of podcasts The Important Cinema Club and Michael And Us! After celebrating the local sports team, Homer gets the kids a harsh curfew, and that somehow leads to lengthy parodies of Village of the Damned AND Bye Bye Birdie! Listen now for the lesson that kids never learn!

I remember watching Bye Bye Birdie a while back, and when the Kids song came on I was like "Oh, THAT'S where the song from The Simpsons came from!" As for the film itself... man, it's such a loud and cheesy time capsule of its era. At the time I thought you couldn't do the premise of a pop star getting drafted today... until I found out that South Korea still has a draft, and most kpop stars have gone through it/are going to at some point. And now I think a kpop-themed remake of Bye Bye Birdie would be VERY interesting to see.

The scene at the drive-in theatre has always bugged me for being a little implausible. The whole thing with drive-ins (at least ones I've been to) is that you watch them from within your car, and to get the audio of the film, you tune to the specific radio frequency that they tell you within the lot. Audio is not just playing from speakers outside somewhere, so the kids being able to actually hear the movie always seemed bizarre. Maybe that's just a thing from drive-ins around me when I was younger, but I'm not sure? -- Likewise, having the commercial for the film state it's from 40 years ago means that it was from 1958/1959 (based on when the episode was written/aired), which fits the kind of tone of the trailer and idea of it being SO SCARY IT WAS BANNED. However, given that it's a pretty direct parody of Village of the Damned, that seems a bit odd since that movie was from 1960. Sure, a couple of years doesn't matter much, but Village of the Damned is part of a kind of changing trend of horror (and improvement in the genre, if I may say so) that happens throughout the 60s, the pedant in me thought i should rant about this small detail.

Man I don’t know about your high schools, but anyone into video games at mine circa 1999 was really into Smash Bros. Game had quite the fanbase!

This is one of my favorite episodes! (I also love Das Bus and Saddlesore Galactica.)

My head canon has always been that the Springfield police used The Bloodening as a sting, in which they deliberately advertised the film to make it as attractive as possible to the kids so they could catch them sneaking out after curfew. Gotta spend money to make money, after all.

Good idea, although I feel like if that was the idea, they would've said "I knew this movie would get you kids" or something. Still a cool thought.

You guys mentioned this episode has a handful of “did they forget they already made this joke”jokes. One I noticed was when Bart says “kids have rights” and Marge says “yes you have the right to remain silent.” That is eerily similar to the same exchange in Blood Feud, and yet it is said with such pride and laughter in this, it feels like they just came up with it all over again.

I love this dumb episode so much. "Rogering the fishwife" even made it into my vocabulary fir some damn reason. And thanks for shouting out "Bob", a show my dad and I watched together and he hated because he didn't get the comic book stuff.

I always understood the joke with Cyndi at the beginning as everyone went to see her instead of the game. I never thought of it as a repeat of the bleeding gums joke from earlier seasons. Also Henry, Bye Bye Birdie was supposed to get a "Live television" adaption with J-Lo, but it fell through.

Bennett Billard

In the process of giving us Old Jewish Man over the credits, we got the standard Simpsons closing theme theme to end this episode. As much as I love the variations each episode provides, it's kinda nice having the default every now and again.

I gotta throw in my support of minor league baseball, they're great fun and you don't feel like you're being scammed out of your money at every turn. They've got fun gimmicks and cheap drinks. The level of play isn't high but it is entertaining most of the time.

After watching the clip from byebye birdy my reaction was daaaamn Grandma

Michael Recon

I really loved their “Kids” parody from ‘Bye Bye Birdie’

Ian and Alyssa Neitzke

I’m amazed you guys glazed over it, but the joke about cops shooting children is less funny in a modern context, Much like nazi jokes . This was also the first time in like 15 years that I thought about the song “Whay the Dillio” by Mest

I only know the "Bye Bye Birdie" opening because it was featured in an episode of "Mad Men" and dear god, her singing...... I'm reminded of Lina Lamont in "Singin' in the Rain"

Casey Jones

Completely unrelated to 90% of the episode, but as someone who grew up in Saskatchewan, I can tell you that Moose Jaw is indeed a real place.

I used Copenhagen for almost a decade and can tell you that that and chewing tobacco are actually a bit more popular than smoking in rural areas. Now that it's impossible to smoke in public in most places a lot of folks have switched to Copenhagen or something similar because it isn't as obvious to others as smoking is. Personally, I liked Levi Garrett. It tastes a bit like raisins, but it's really messy. I mostly used Copenhagen pouches though, and all that being said i don't recommend anyone start smoking or chewing at all as I've recently quit nicotine for the first time in 12 years and it was really difficult.
