For our first season 12 episode, we welcome back Merritt K from Fanbyte to discuss one of the weirdest Halloween eps ever! Homer dies and is trying to get to heaven, Lisa is reading fairy tales, and all humans fight all dolphins in a huge war for the fate of the Earth. Plus a ton of Tress MacNeille screaming! How does the horror hold up? And why did this air after Halloween? Listen to this week's podcast before George Cauldron arrives!

"Snakes, nature's quitters" and "I'm already up" are evergreen memes w/ my family.

I know this is an odd question to ask, but what's that song playing in the background while you're discussing the headlines from the original air date? It's on the tip of my tongue.

I saw George Cauldron being real coming a mile away, but still laughed really hard at it.

Two of my favourite games of all time are Majora’s Mask and the first Dead Rising, maybe I just like games with restrictive timers and repeating time loops.

Regarding Treehouse episodes airing in November, I had it in my head that one reason for this was because November was Sweeps season. I'm guessing that the Treehouse episodes had higher ratings than other episodes, so maybe Fox was holding them back to appear in November so they could then charge higher ad rates.

I don't recall a lot of hate amongst my friends and acquaintances for Majora's Mask when it came out. I do recall some disappointment with it as Ocarina of Time was such a technological leap over A Link to the Past, while Majora's Mask recycled the assets from that game and added a new gimmick. It kind of broke ground for the Zelda franchise in that regard since the sequels previously were quite different from what came before with the only exception being Link's Awakening, but it being a Game Boy game that resembled A Link to the Past gave it a pass. I think Majora's Mask is fine though. It has a followed an arc of being underrated, to properly rated, to probably overrated at this point. Though I'm someone who has never finished it. I've started and stopped several times and each time I enjoy it at first, but grow tired of the gimmick and hit a wall eventually. I even got the 3DS remake intending to finally beat it, and I got farther than ever, but it still remains unfinished. Some day I'll save that stupid town, some day...

I have no idea who this person is IRL, but back in the No Homer's Club days of my youth, I remember thinking "George Cauldron," was the coolest, most innovative username there was. As a result, I chose the names of various one-off characters as my screen names for everything for the next several years. I still really like that joke, and recently had to explain it to my husband.

The American Dad Jim Henson joke that Bob was trying to remember was from the 2nd holiday episode, The Most Adequate Christmas Ever. In the episode Stan is in heaven, and it is revealed that Jim Henson and Kermit have been punished by being placed in the Phantom Zone from DC comics. This is the clip. https://youtu.be/VpCqDZ864ZU

Oh hey, I only just realised that Merritt is the same Merritt K who wrote Internet Murder Revenge Fantasy, a book that really meant a lot to me and helped me figure out some mental health stuff I've dealt with over the years (sadly I don't think it's onsale anywhere anymore?). Glad to hear she's a friend of the show!

Of course John Wayne was in hell: John Wayne was a Nazi He liked to play SS He had a picture of Adolf, the boy Tucked in his cowboy vest

The not knowing when to mind her own business is a recuring thing with Lisa. i just realized that whenever Burns has karma fall down upon him Lisa's always the one help him and every time he just goes back to being evil

Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls" is actually that filthy. For one, the person who wrote it was none other than His Royal Badness himself, Prince. The song also found it's way onto Tipper Gore and the PMRC's shitlist know as the "Filthy Fifteen", a list of songs that the group considered to be the most objectionable. Along side hits like Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" and the Mary Jane Girls' "in My House", "Sugar Walls" was ranked #2 in terms of filth. It was runner up to the song "Darling Nikki" by, who else, Prince.

Honestly, I don't really like this episode very much. It's not particularly bad, it just feels uninventive to me, which is the opposite of nearly (but not all) Treehouse of Horror segments to come before it. There's definitely some good jokes, but overall it just left me feeling very "meh." -- In terms of this episode's vernacular, I still often say "it's all good" in response to people relaying info like they're no coming to something I'm hosting or need to delay something they'd promised me. I didn't realize that was a particular fad of the early 2000s (being a child then myself) so I guess I'm a bit anachronistic these days. I also never knew about the euphemism of sugar walls until this very podcast!

If you wanna see Lenny nude you don't Google it, you Bing safe search off it. I take no responsibility for what you see.

You guys forgot about The Matrix reference in act one of Lisa The Tree Hugger where Bart is delivering Thai menus.

I found "The Day of the Dolphin" tagline several years ago and was really hoping for something that amazing or at least unintentionally funny. It was none of those things. It's an incredibly boring movie that was just zero fun and a lot of that weird 70s sci fi shenanigans going on. But I did watch the special features where the director just laid waste to movie and talked about how much he hated working on the project. That was at least fun.

Boyd Adkins IV

I think the "Snorky, talk. Man" could be a reference to either Congo or Seaquest. Since I'm too lazy to do research I'll just leave this here for someone to tell me I'm wrong. Hehehe.

I actually grew up with bootleg Simpsons dvds for a long time, and they included what I assume to be original broadcast airings of these episodes. For years I had never seen the scene where Grandpa is eaten alive or the scene with Kent Brockman. I'm assuming they cut some of that stuff out due to violence, but it was crazy seeing those scenes when I rewatched on FXX.

Thad Komorowski

Have to say this is the first time I cringed seeing which episode was coming up. Even more than the Kid Rock or Maude ones. Sorry, with a few exceptions to come, this is really The End for me. S12 is a better season than S11, but the violence/gore/crudeness that became the norm is irredeemable and just came at too high a price, even for a Treehouse. Fuck Mike Scully. He really did ruin this show.

Kevin Peterson

I’m very excited to start these episodes, I stopped watching in season 11 due to some of those episodes being too much for 17-18 year old me and also because I started working Sunday nights at a local theme restaurant that you might actually cover on an episode of What a Cartoon. I jumped back in sporadically watch but it wasn’t until a few years later. That being said, I quite enjoyed some of the season 11 episodes that angsty teen me despised and I really liked this episode. I’m looking forward to this season and beyond.

I watched this one when it aired, after taking a break from unlocking characters in a little game called... Tekken Tag Tournament. But other than that (and Armored Core 2!) There was very little reason to get a ps2, much like almost any console launch lineup, with few exceptions.
