075 - The Simpsons Begin
from Writers Get Animated Hosted by Chris Leyva & Mackenzie Worrall
In this week’s episode, Chris and Mackenzie talk about the very first Simpsons episodes! The ones before the first premiere season premiere. Yeah, we’re going that far back. A whole 30 years, Marty! We mean, Listeners! What parts of The Simpsons haven’t changed in 30 years? And when America’s favorite family has changed, why did they change? Is there anything interesting about turning 30? Are you younger than the Simpsons shorts on the Tracey Ullman Show? What’s the difference between a short and an episode? Can Chris say the word ‘shouts’? What is the best Simpsons short? Do the design eras of The Simpsons line up with any storytelling eras? Whatever happened to Spider-pig? How much is Zoidberg’s sandwich stock worth these days?
