"I'm Bad To The Bone, Honey"

from Eat The Pudding: A Simpsons Podcast

Eat The Pudding: A Simpsons Podcast Episode 9: “I’m Bad To The Bone, Honey” Welcome to the Eat The Pudding fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the Simpsons universe in all its colourful and cromulent forms. This is the tenth episode: “I’m Bad To The Bone, Honey”. This week, the Spotlight On Springfield is turned on none other than Bart Simpson himself. In a head-to-head that is likely to stir up dim memories of even dimmer school debates, we discuss whether or not he is on the side of the angels. Armed with a clutch of classic episodes each, Michael and Ian debate whether Bart’s caring and sensitive side generally holds sway or whether, like George Thorogood before him, he truly is “bad to the bone”. As well as this, we take a look at the other voices that Nancy Cartwright brings to The Simpsons, revisit the tunes behind Troy McClure’s barnstorming Planet Of The Apes musical and, in response to a listener question, handpick four of Springfield’s finest to come to our dinner party.  If you would like to send us a voice message to include in the show, we have set up a special page on SpeakPipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/EatThePudding.
