This week we welcome back Cait Raft (This Podcast Is Self Care, JackAM on Twitch), not only to talk more about the Simpsons writers' room, but also the world of art! Homer accidentally becomes an artist after almost killing a few people, and Homer is very happy living out Marge's dream. But when Homer tries to learn more about the art world, he somehow floods the entire town. Listen to learn more PLUS what Al Jean sometimes has for lunch on this week's podcast!!

With as much as she gets dumped on in the Scully years, it's great to see this return to Marge's artistic side.

Frank Grimes

still get a chuckle out of "Le Grille...what the hell is that?!"

I hate Andy Warhol. Okay, I'll admit to this being an opinion stolen from the great art critic Robert Hughes – who loathed Warhol – but he's right. Warhol was a genius in many ways, but all of them reflect postmodern tropes that I really dislike: ironic detachment, liking the plastic over the authentic, not worrying about commercialism, but instead pretty much embracing the fact that modern art is just capital for snooty rich people, without any aesthetic value. But I love contemporary artist's like Paula Rego. Francis Bacon is (was) great as well. I think it's important to not get swept away in the theoretical jargon and be intimidated by the in-groupy snootyness of the art world, just try to see what you like and what you don't like. I think Cait is right, the best modern art is kind of trolly and funny, not taking itself too seriously. And a lot of it should be viewed as such, a joke.

I like to read Homer’s rage at Bart’s attraction to Milhouse as him being upset that it’s Milhouse and not just general homophobic rage. I know I’m giving the writers too much credit, but it works since we know Homer thinks Milhouse is a weiner and a dud. I prefer my head canon for this one.

I've been looking forward to this episode. This is literally my all time favorite.

Harry Thornton

This episode having BOTH the barbeque pit and the "everything's coming up milhouse" jokes makes it an underrated classic in my book. I still can't believe I was born in the SAME YEAR as Lil Nas X, by just a few months. I'm not really a fan of the song, but I really enjoy him online just as a person. He's clearly having a ball doing what he love, and I can respect him for that. I can also imagine most people my age know "I Want It That Way" from the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cold open, but as someone who remembers the days of Potter Puppet Pals fan videos circa. 2008 (long story there), I'll always remember the Weird Al parody "Ebay". The amount of art history I know is kinda... decent. I know enough from those DK books on the topic, but over the last few months I've dived DEEP into impressionism for research on a personal project I've been planning for a long while. If Henry wants more details on the modern art world, there's an interesting documentary I saw at the NZ film festival called "The Price of Everything," which examines the weird, money-chasing world of modern art auctions. It's an absurd industry, and it showed me just how much Jeff Koons SUUUUUUUUUUCKS as an artist. Having to pay to get into museums and art galleries is so weird for me as a NZer. Aside from one in Auckland just about every museum and art gallery has free entry w/ donations allowed.

I have not heard Old Country Road either. Actually I didn't know Lil Nas X was a thing until i saw Shrek that is Squire to Kent State Gun Girl Who Pooped Her Pants wearing one of his shirt.

Great episode as usual, and it was fun having Cait back for another one! -- Like Henry said, I used to think Homer shaving his shoulders was just a joke but as I've gotten older (and I'm only 23), I've sadly realized it's likely based on real experiences. I'm not very hairy, but there are the odd hairs that reappear on my shoulders/upper back every couple of weeks that I'll use tweezers to get rid of, and I fear it will only get worse as time goes on... Other than that, Homer's complete failure to construct the barbecue pit and resulting freak out is HILARIOUS. It's also a big mood that I feel on a spiritual level as someone who used to get too angry very easily (until bloodwork said I was deficient in some stuff that deals with temperament, so taking the highest dose of V12 means I don't get irrationally pissed off at the drop of a hat anymore, yay!).

I'm surprised none of those "Did Simpsons Predict?" Listicles noticed that Homer invented combining beer with coconut.

Hmm, I wonder if the cocaine podcasting thing is an allusion to Chapo. P.S. Matt is an awesome guest.

For a Richard Karn update at least in the Baltimore area he does a lot of commercial work for hoses, flooring, and other such that all use the promo code "HOME IMPROVEMENT" so I guess he is low key getting work from that old show.

Back in the 90s I was watching a segment about Tim Allen's personal life and his best friend looked like Richard Karn. It was very odd. After the second break when Homer's laying on the floor and Marge says "I know you worked very hard" her right pupil moves slightly so she looks crossed and it's very distracting.

I have to say that when Bart says he’s a little attracted to Milhouse , I don’t think Homers Reaction is Gay panic I think it’s Milhouse panic! I mean come on that wiener? (As Homer refers to him) I mean hes already trying to score his daughter and after Bart the. Theirs Maggie! Sounds like I’m making a joke but i really think that’s what the joke was lol

I also agree it's meant to be a "Milhouse sucks" joke -- I think if gay panic was what they were going for they would've simply made him say "I think I'm attracted to men," but the fact that it's Milhouse of all people is the punchline. Of course, it could be too easily misinterpreted (especially through our modern lens) so it's not their strongest joke.

Gayest Episode Ever

Catching up on some Talking Simpsons backlog and just now hearing about your table read. I went to one a few years back — for Looking for Mr. Goodbart, which aired in season 28 — and I wanted to share my experience of sitting behind Yeardley and realizing that she was dressed really nicely and had a very expensive pair of sunglasses and then putting together that "Oh, yeah, she's an immensely wealthy woman." I don't know why that was surprising, but I was glad she was living it up. Conversely, Nancy was sitting right next to her, and she wasn't dressed nicely, and my first thought about that was "I really hope she didn't give all her money to Scientology." Everyone was nice and I got to say hi to Tress, who was lovely, but I made the mistake of saying that I'd been enjoying her voice work ever since I was a little kid, and her response was "Wait, how old are you now?" I was in my mid-30s, and she said something to the effect of "Thank you for reminding me I'm old," but in a nice way.
