We get their insight into the politics of Mr. Burns' self-financed run for governor in this iconic episode, we discuss how it compares to modern politics, and dig into tons more history and tangents in this mutated podcast, so listen now!

hope that virgil fella isn't as obnoxious since his Chapo cohorts aren't with him.

So happy you guys got Briahna on! She's wonderful.

Thank you, Henry, for bringing up the Blinky paradox at the end. It bugged me as a kid to not know how Marge got another three-eyed fish. One would think a lab or the government would have taken the one Bart caught to run a bunch of tests on it, but I guess we're to assume they're rather prolific in Springfield. And I agree on the ending. I think if this had aired in a later season they would have had the confidence to run with an ending that's just a threat from Burns, but maybe felt it was too bleak in the moment. I think they're also still trying to drive the point home of who and what the Simpson family is and pointing out that Homer has no real goals or ambitions gets them out of a dark ending while also contributing a small slice of character development.

I don't think any guest is acting nefariously, but does anyone else find it... off-putting?... how frequently guests trash the show beyond season 10? We all get it, we all have opinions about the quality. But as the podcast is on season 12 (and I hope keeps going and going) it seems a bit odd to be flippant to the show as I'm sure Bob & Henry hope we stick around with them to hear more nuanced discussions rather than "it sucks".

I know she's very busy but Briahna was great and I'd love to hear her back! Sounds like she'd be perfect at commenting on Bojack Horseman.

Homer got to park right beside Burns in Homer Defined after he became employee of the month.

This was a great one,can't wait for Briahna to come back for Simpson Safari and I'd also love to hear her for a Bojack episode on WaC.

Wes Archer did a fantastic job on this cartoon. He was pretty hands-on with the layouts, animating some scenes of Burns himself. He did the scene of Santa's Little Helper licking Burns all over while he struggles feebly. There are some great poses if you freeze-frame it.

Chris Dobson

Bri was a great guest, I definitely recommend her and Wyatt Cenac's "debate" about Star Trek to anyone interested in Bad Faith.

John Harrison

States had laws about bars being closed on election day not because they wanted sober judgement, they were just trying to combat the problem of candidates and parties buying votes with drinks. One of the theories about the death of Edgar Allan Poe is that he got alcohol poisoning on election day from all the free drinks get got for voting.

Briahna and Virgil were really great guests! Their energy meshes really well with the format.

Good episode (don't really get all the "Virgil interrupts too much" complaints, he was fine). This was the one and only Simpsons episode I watched on Disney Plus last year, and I was so overcome with revulsion at the shit-smear quality of the remastering that I've refused to watch any others on this platform. So much artifacting and line erasure. Hold onto your DVDs, kids, the HD upgrade is not worth it and unfortunately they will be the "forever" versions. I want to call more attention, though, to the drunk Burns sequence. It's so early in the production and yet it's uniquely haunting and chilling. Are we supposed to actually sympathize with this cartoonishly evil villain succumbing to human addiction? Probably not, but for a show that makes light of excessive drinking at every turn, this was quite unsettling, and it doesn't have the comic acting of Homer's similarly realistic inebriated faux pas seen/heard later this season to take the edge off. Just another fascinating thing to ponder in, as Virgil says, an episode that isn't that good.

I enjoyed Virgil's sly reference to "Merchant of Venus" which sounds like a Futurama spec script but is apparently a real thing.

I don't wanna come out and say "hey the four of you should do a bojack podcast" but.... I'd certainly listen to it

Andrew Bouvier

I'm definitely letting my bias as a Vermonter show, but there's a slim chance Mary Bailey is based off of the VT governor at the time, Madeleine Kunin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_Kunin She fits as the sort of "pragmatic but not devoid of empathy " female governor that the few glimpses of Bailey we see seem to paint her as. Though with being such a small state, it's probably just a coincidence since she certainly wasn't known nationally.

Some of the digressions were frustrating (oh my god I don't care about bojack horseman) but I always enjoy Virgil on the show. I don't think his old Simpsons tumblr has been mentioned: https://upworthyspringfield.tumblr.com/ My experience watching Citizen Kane for the first time was "holy shit this is what that White Stripes song was referencing" I wish there was a less blurry image of Smithers with the "I ❤ Burns" button

2026-09-07 10:00 I'm glad I wasn't the only one who wondered where Marge got that Blinky fish for dinner. That bugged me for years. I always thought Marge hatched her plan immediately after refusing "snuggling" with Homer. It was her intention to get a full night's rest because she had to get up at dawn to catch dinner at the lake. She must have caught it herself because Bart didn't expect it & Lisa had no idea what her mother was up to when she said to "give her the benefit of the doubt." And despite Burns saying "it had a taste that can't beat" (which set up the ending), I don't think any legitimate fish vendor would believe there was a market for these monstrosities. Therefore Marge caught it herself that morning.

Originally bars were closed on Election Day not so much to prevent drunk voting but to try to keep machine politicians from buying votes with booze. I was a senior in high school when this episode originally aired and my friends and I were all big Simpsons fans from day one. The next week my Poltics and Government teacher showed it in class and we discussed how accurately it portrayed modern campaigns. We also viewed the Batman 66 episode where Penguin and Batman ran for mayor. Its satire was much less biting but I always felt Mary Bailey being honest and trustworthy but boring reflected Batman's stiff campaign. Also, Ross Perot wasn't the first third party candidate to purchase time to broadcast a half hour infomercial. In 1984, I remember seeing Homer's favorite nude conspiracy theorist, Lynden Larouche one night. Being a politically curious but stupidly naive young boy I was shocked to learn how Walter Mondale was secretly a member of West Germany's Nazi Green party.
