That's right, we've got THE Alexander Edward from the great podcast Minion Death Cult for this ep all about old west movie stars! We chat about teamsters in Simpsons, Bart's troubles with a dog, lots of old references to cowboy movies, and a whole lot of chat about Yellowstone for some reason. So lasso up some snacks for this week's podcast!

I've been excited about this episode coming up - this was the one that got me to stop appointment viewing The Simpsons. Finally rewatching it after 20 years, I'm not sure exactly why I hated it so much. I do remember thinking that all the Springfield kids suddenly getting super into cowboys because of a guest star I had never heard of was stupid, but this was at worst an unremarkable episode. Maybe I was mad about the constant schedule shifting of Family Guy and Futurama, and just took out my 15 year old angst on an old favorite show. I'm excited to start watching episodes I've never seen for this show!

definitely in agreement on a Pistol Pete episode. Maybe next spring's April Fools podcast.

Gayest Episode Ever

This was a perfect pairing of episode and guest. I did not know of Alex before this but he is super charming and matched your guys’ energy super well, and I decided to seek out his creative stuff when I finished. It is offensive to me that he is not single.

One thing this podcast helps me with is remembering the random quotes from this era that made enough of an impression on me to become AOL IM away messages. I used the “Everything tastes better when it’s lassoed!” message every time I went to the cafeteria for a meal. But now Marge saying “…You’ll be late to be killed by the dog” has to be my line of the episode and one of my favorites of the season.

Canada winning gold in Salt Lake City was a huge thing in Canada because we are up our own ass about it. We finished 4th in Nagano because we lost the semi final to the Czech Republic team that had Jaromír Jágr and Dominik Hasek on it. So you know a team with two of the best players in NHL history and apparently that required a massive 4 year long "we need to pull out all the stops so this never happens again" campaign. The Ice maker in Salt Lake at the arena was Canadian and put a loonie under center ice for good luck as well.

Speaking of the rust shooting, literally the same day this episode was released, they reached a settlement...the husband of the wife who was killed is now receiving producer credit on the movie.

For some reason, this episode seemed to air as a rerun more than any other in my area, so I always associate it with the disappointment of not having a "classic" episode run that day. Also, glad to see someone else defending Kill the Alligator and Run, I've always felt like it was a decent episode for the era it came out in. Though to be fair, I'm a bit too young to remember the music of 1999 as it was happening, so it feels more like a funny Y2K-era nostalgia piece to me.

Is this the stealth worst episode of the Simpsons? Sure there is Lady Gaga, the episode where the town tells Bart to kill himself or the episode where Bat lets Homer hang from a tree but man this is such a nothing episode. There’s a couple good lines here but boy is it uninspired. Cowboys? Even in 2002 a young boy getting into Westerns seems incredulous.

"Most people just mutter that" kinda redeems this episode for me. That is such a perfect joke.

Alex was great. Super cool to hear someone on the show that’s not only a huge fan but throws in references to Cleveland hardcore amongst other things. Seems like a super cool dude.

Great guest and it was nice to be able to hear him so well. Those Simpsons stickers rule.

I was surprised to learn this episode was hated. This was a highlight of its era for me. Basically every Buck line cracks me up.

When I watched this I honestly thought the guest was John Turturro doing a southern accent. And yes, I know how that makes no sense.

In both versions of True Grit the character of LaBoeuf is the one who spanks the girl while Rooster Cogburn puts a stop to it with his gun. Hopefully someone at the Talking Simpsons factory is fired for that blunder.

Alex was a delight. I always let out a deep breath of relief whenever there's a guest on one of these "newer" episodes that genuinely enjoyed the episode and don't make their entire bit about how the show hasn't made them so much as chuckle in over 20 years. I know, different folks different strokes but sometimes it's just a bummer when it drags on. Then again I was only 10 when this season aired so maybe that's my child brain's knee jerk reaction to defend the teen seasons i was able to catch new. Even commenting this I feel bad like im disperaging past guests, im not trying to, but episodes with guests like Alex I find myself smiling at how they come off as genuinely enjoying and laughing at the jokes. Oh and I was really hoping somebody else would have been a bigger nerd and pointed this out already but not the first time we've seen Pimply Faced Teen get action! I believe the first was in Mom and Pop Art when they show he was promoted at the tool store.

Slight correction - "Wyatt Earp Meets the Mummy" is most likely a reference to an infamously bad (and really cheap) film called "Billy the Kid Verses Dracula." Star John Carradine would later go on to say: "I have worked in a dozen of the greatest, and I have worked in a dozen of the worst. I only regret Billy the Kid Versus Dracula. Otherwise, I regret nothing."

Alright, I know you said no cast iron talk, but I gotta dispel the myth: they're really not that fussy. You can wash them with soap and water. You don't have to re-season them constantly. Just rub them down with vegetable oil after cleaning. As for scrubbing I've got one word for you guys just one word: deglazing.

The stuff the guest was saying about the problems with the voice acting/direction in the later seasons of The Simpsons is very interesting. I have that problem with the acting in the revived version of futurama, but in Futurama I feel like it's cranked up to 11. Nearly every line reading is like that from " into the wild green Yonder" to the end of The Comedy Central era for me
