After Bart and Milhouse save Comic Book Guy's life, they run the comic store and start a found film festival. Meanwhile, Comic Book Guy tries to grow as a person which leads to him sleeping with Agnes Skinner. Listen now to this week's podcast and learn all about discovering videos of newscasters picking their noses!

Talking Simpsons

There was an issue with the first time we posted this, but that should be fixed now. Thanks for your patience!

This one works. Thank you, Simpsons Talkers. I'm gonna listen to it now, hope it doesn't suck.

This guy is great and sounds a lot like David Cross so when he talks about David Cross it is very confusing hahaha

It's funny that you guys bring up that picture on the banned wall as Matt Groening, as I always thought it was George Lucas or the in universe equivalent Randall Curtis. But now that I look at it and see the photos of Randall Curtis it's definitely a proto Groening. "The more you know".

I looked into Larry Doyle’s history with comics, and it is pretty interesting. After leaving his job as editor-in-chief at First Comic in 1989, Doyle began writing for the Pogo reboot for the LA Times Syndicate. He left the comic two years later to pursue television, and Neal Sternecky — the artist for the reboot — replaced him as the writer. The family of Walt Kelly tried to continue the comic after Neal left in 1993, but due to lack of interest, it never happened. Womp womp. Someone interviewed Doyle about the reboot a few years back, where he had this to say: “I don’t think it was a good idea and I don’t think we did a good job. I think it would’ve been better left alone. [Me and Neal] took it because we had been trying for years to get a comic strip syndicated and here this came along and they wanted someone to do Pogo and we loved Pogo. [...] The argument in our heads went something like, “Well, they’re going to bring it back anyway, so it might as well be by people who really love the strip and aren’t going to ruin it.” And then we ruined it, I think.” Anyways, if I was to take a guess, most of the comic book jokes from Worst Episode Ever and other Scully episodes (ex. Comic Book Guy mad at Amazing Spider-Man issues mixed with Spectacular issues) likely came from Doyle.

I have very little experience with found footage. Mostly, I just found "periodicals" in the woods. It's a shared experience by many kids of my generation because apparently everyone was too terrified of their parents finding such magazines in their possession that they risked losing them to other kids in the woods. Recently, I did dig through some old boxes at my parents' home and found some old VHS tapes with a printed label that just said "Kids Shows." Both were likely purchased for dirt cheap once upon a time and each contained about a half hour's worth of public domain cartoons. They still worked too, so I was able to watch and be reminded of how often my sister and I would put them on as kids. There was a creepy take on Humpty Dumpty from MGM titled Greedy Humpty Dumpty, an old 3 Stooges Cartoon with live-action wrap-arounds, and even some Looney Tunes. Both were Porky cartoons, one featuring the forgotten Porky foil Gabby Goat and the other a Porky and Daffy team-up (with a Bugs cameo) titled Porky Pig's Feat. Now these public domain compilations exist as 3 hour YouTube videos and even Amazon Prime blocks, but at least the tradition of cheap cartoons lives on!

I’ve been to the large Barnes and noble in Manhattan, and I used it to go to then bathroom too! First trip to New York and I had the worst experiance walking due to eating bad Mediterranean food.

LOVE the Found Footage Festival - highly recommend anyone to check out their live show if it comes to your city.

Affleck is happy again!

My daughter and I played Origami King and actually finished it! The battle system was not the best but it was great story, character, and game play wise.

Shout out to The Bins! Those aren't too far from my parent's house.

There are at least 7 Barnes and Nobles in the Phoenix area, I get the majority of my manga from them. My understanding is that the reason they outlasted all the other chain bookstores is because they have their own printing company, and make pure profit from the sales of public domain books they carry.

VFX nerd here: I do think the "return to practical effects" is kinda overstated, in that I've seen a lot of cases where studios will play up the practical elements because it makes a good story. With the "Godfather III: Good Version" joke, I'm surprised you guys didn't mention that it now exists... kinda. Just recently for its 30th anniversary Francis Ford Coppola recut the film into the now-retitled "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone", which from what I've seen has gotten much better reviews than the 1990 version. All the VHS talk reminds me: As a 22 year old, I actually know what a VHS is! I was still using them as a kid, and me and my family were still using them to record shows right up until they became fully obsolete in the late 2000s. The Greg character from On Cinema also cracks me up bc I know at least one person who's so nostalgic for tapes they really do think they are the best way to view films.

My first paper mario was the 3DS one....so I'm not sure if that no exp nonsense was in the previous games, but that's what turned me off about the series. Did not feel any sense of growth. What fun is collecting stickers or fighting if I don't gain stat growth

Lockerus

Holy, Combo-Man! That unlocked a long buried memory in my brain.

"Well, the Superfriends." was one my dad and I exchanged to his dying day.

Appreciated the Vault of Midnight shout out. I’m from Grand Rapids and always stop in a few times when I go back to visit family. Also my childhood comic book store (which was different, Vault of Midnight is more recent) definitely sold lottery tickets as well. I also always referred to it as “The Android’s Dungeon,” and thought I was very, very funny. My sincerest apologies to the shop owner, who I hope did not succumb to the common fate of his profession.

One of the joys of being in Pittsburgh is just seeing Tom Savini all over the place. Be it on his bike (unfortunately, he was hit by a car recently but is okay!) or being a classic, old buff Italian guy at the public pool. Total legend. I'm surprised given the fact that you guys are big Letterman heads (not to mention Nick's connections), that the clips of Savini on Letterman in the 80s are great.

Dylan

Had to pause to check out that WTF clip. Terrible guy!

Alex Forsyth

Don't worry Bob, when you move to Canada permanently, you will have nobody refuse your coins.

Kyle Curtis

As a Charleston Chew fan, I feel personally attacted.

Mark Lee Marcheschi

I had a friend who was afraid to use some Sacagawea coins his Grandma got for him. So I traded 2 dollars to him for them and still have them. He safely bought some DBZ card game cards from our Mall Wizards of the Coast store. And the only place I've ever seen the newer president dollar coins were from getting change on toll roads.

James Babbo

Nick is an absolute delight. I'm a fan of FFF, own many of the DVDs, & have seen them live. He makes valid points & doesn't go on 8 minute rants in between Bob & Henry's 60 second comments. Sorry, I guess I'm still exhausted from the Pokey Mom episode. Please continue to have Nick on. :)

brian bonelli

I know I'm like a month late here with this comment but Nick mentioned the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and I absolutely must recommend that place to anyone with even the most remote interest in cartoon and comic history. Worth the trip to Ohio! Also Nick's a great guest.
