Today we're reviewing a very sweet Simpsons episode, and we have a very sweet guest to boot. We're discussing Season 9 Episode 24 "Lost our Lisa" with guest Megan Nolan (Acts of Desperation, Ordinary Human Failings).

We discuss her 2 novels and how she created such a compelling characters. We also talk about the father-daughter relationship at the heart of the episode, and what traits we'd want to instill in Lisa if we were Homer.

We also talk A LOT about Egyptian museum exhibits and buses. And Eli talks about his recent trip to Italy!

You can follow Megan at mmegannolan on Instagram. You can follow this show at bartannicapod.

Megan Recommends: Cider House Rules Harrison and Eli Recommend: Going to museums Reading Megan's books!

Today we're covering one of the best Simpsons episodes of all time, Season 4 Episode 12 "Marge Vs the Monorail" and we have one of the best people in the whole world as a guest, Mike Finn.

Mike, Harrison and Eli used to do improv as Cool Jacket and have been friends for over a decade. We talk about what Mike does (and doesn't) want his kids watching (including KPop Demon Hunters), watching The Simpsons on The Tracey Ullman Show, and our shared love of watching grass grow.

We also debate if Monorail is truly the best episode of The Simpsons, how the town of Springfield should probably just get some new buses, and Eli and Harrison BOTH read a book about Genghis Khan!

This week we have one of Harrison's oldest friends, Matt Crowe, on the show! Harrison and Matt have been friends for over 20 years and during that time they've shared over roughly 1,000 Simpsons memes, quotes and clips with each other. It only made sense to have him on the pod to discuss this great episode.

Today we're discussing Season 6 Episode 18 A Star is Burns- this is is the one where Jay Sherman (The Critic) stops by to judge a Springfield film festival: football in the groin, Don't Cry For Me I'm Already Dead, and Boo-urns.

We discuss Matt's love of rewatching old shows, his sense of humor as a nurse, and I discuss some of the MANY movies I watched this week that are referenced in the episode.
