Henry is a good dude, but he gets a little too excited sometimes. Especially every time he has too point out when a cartoon character would be dead in the show.

It's a sad day. Fortunately, they have a ways to go before other Simpsons regulars begin passing away.
😕😢
Not to mention he's already made plans to be the one doing the travelling back to sf for work, rather than shifting the operation elsewhere and forcing Henry to work remotely/by commute.
I'll take his word that nothing will change with the podcasts, but I've seen too many situations result in a major drop in quality to not be a little weary.
I'm less worried about it since he already has a plan in mind and clearly already has a positive example of how to handle such a move in how his Retronauts cohost does the same thing now, given Retronauts manages just fine with Jeremy being on the east coast now.
Also they have a pretty blatant example of what not to do with what happened with Laser Time

Just started listening to TS and hoping somebody here is a digital hoarder like myself and downloads the podcasts via iTunes. I noticed the feed only goes back to 2018 instead of 2015 and was hoping someone could dm me a Dropbox link of the episodes missing via iTunes. I'm aware the archive is up to download on their libsync but it's not iTunes friendly and you have to download each episode and name them manually. Hoping some kind talking simpsons fan has the entire run and can send it t

Season 1, you'll have to find the patreon posts. Just filter to June 2017 and they are all there.
Season 2-present is all available here:
Talking Simpsons
Join your friends Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert for a chronological and cromulent exploration of the greatest show ever made! Each week we're joined by funny guests to tackle a different episode of The Simpsons, breaking down every 22 minutes of animated entertainment into an embiggening...

That's how you have to do it. No way around it.
Downloading 100-150 episodes isn't the end of the world. Just fire off 10 a day until you catch up. It's not like you are going to be able to listen to them faster than you can download them.

Yep, the free episodes will always be available on the Talking Simpsons Libsyn account. No need to worry!
Not a fan of when they get a show's creator on for an episode. Feels like it gets a little too gushy and loses some of the nuance that I generally expect from their episodes.
Next 2 weeks is gonna be the Ian and Toby takeover. But also...Season 1 redux plans. I'm kinda conflicted, S11 is where the show gets off the deep end with some solid episodes but I do think S1.2 could work now with the current style.

Anyone else bothered how they didn't seem to address how folks would have taken the ending for the Bible Stories episode?

Sigh. Looks like Bob and Henry got the Chapo lads back for an episode dedicated to the politics of The Simpsons this week. We really need to do better than those guys being on the show. Especially after Amber Frost's comments regarding women who get hysterectomies.
Not being American I don't really have a strong opinion on Chapo. I'm just disgruntled that we get another week of missing out on a proper episode. The last week of the month is already taken up by a different type of podcast so it'll have been three weeks since we got a proper new episode by the time the next one rolls around. Wasn't a fan of them going back to do season one either, so in general, I'm a little annoyed at the moment.
Just means one more week extra from them getting to Series 11. Really want to hear what they have to say about Kill the Aligator and Run.
I really want to hear them discuss these later seasons. Bob and Henry have such a nuanced, balanced way of looking at things, so it's going to be cool to see them discuss these seasons that just get mercilessly shit on. Returning to season 1 just feels meh in comparison.
A correction for this week´s ep of What a Cartoon. Justice League vs. the Fatal Five from 2019 is part of the DC animated universe/TAS DC canon:
en.wikipedia.org
It features Jessica Cruz who was invented after JLU ended. So is 2017´s Batman and Harley Quinn which I consider to be the only total dud since the direct to home video animated film initiative began in 2007. The 2010 animated film Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is also based on an unfilmed TAS script that is set between Justice League and Justice League Unlimited but it´s not part of that canon. Dwayne McDuffie wrote it. His actual JLA comic run from the 2000s isn´t good, which he agreed with, but DC´s editors did him no favors by giving him little room to work with. RIP.
Batman TAS just started a digital-first comic by an all-star team from the old show and it´s later comic so the DC animated universe lives on to this day:

Good luck with The Simpsons S11. It´s the shows first bad season which I immediately noticed even as a kid but you could hear the sparks starting to die-off on the air during the 2nd half of S10. You really could. I have seen every ep of the show and it will never pick up again outside of rare good eps here and there. Your main podcast is hosed. Doing 2-hour eps on many of these won´t work. S11 at least ends with Behind the Laughter. An all-time masterpiece.
Edit: The future set continuity of The Simpsons introduced in the really good Holidays of Future Passed from S23 was also only reused once and the show featured at least 2 other orginal futures for a whole ep since then. It never established itself as anything superseding to the other non-canon futures so the podcast got that one wrong a few times. Well, you´ll find out one day.

I know it's a little old now, but I enjoyed KC Green as their guest for "Kristy Gets Busted". When he was describing the The Miller Test being used to judge Squeak The Mouse, and he said one rule was "Does it make you horny?", I'm disappointed that no one made an Austin Powers impression.
I feel like that should be a podcasting rule at this point.

Edit: Sorry, I used the wrong tab. Something Simpsons related, ok.
Kill the Alligator and Run is the other ep that "stands out" in S11. It was the worst ep of the show to that day not counting the really bad clip show ep. Or were there 2 really bad clip show eps. There were a few worse since then. How 2020 will close on the podcast:

Season 11 still has Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, tomacco, Hell's Satans, Funzo, monkey knife fight, President Lisa and Behind the Laughter but I'm wondering what Bob and Henry are going to do when we enter no man's land
and I'm surprised Henry missed Fatal Five since that, Gods and Monsters and Dark Knight Returns are like the only decently animated movies in the terrible looking DC Animated Movieverse

I'm looking forward to Henry and your takes on the coming seasons, especially for any behind the scenes talk.
