In the season 16 episode the heartbroke kid homer points to a photo of herb saying "my seldom seen half brother herb" so he was shown again boy I hope someone was fired for that blunder

I don't know how much the Stranger Things adoration has cooled as the kids have grown and thus gotten less cute - but Henry might be happy to know that in comparison to the promotional New Coke selling out fast, my go-to grocery store has a stockpile of frozen 'Surfer Boy' pizzas from the latest season that they just can't get rid of. I've made a game of checking in every week to just see how much the pile has been whittled down as the price keeps going lower.

As a fan, I can say the 4th season was very popular - by comparison to that Surfer Boy thing, it launched that Kate Bush song up the music charts in many countries, which is incredible to see.

Hey Bob! Not everyone is taller than Danny DeVito 😡😎

Come for the episode history and commentary, stay for the Simpsons character sperm design preference. Personally I’d want to see Krusty’s, because remember: “this ain’t makeup!”.

Funniest fact about Gump and Co. is that there was a film adaptation planned, though disputes with the author delayed it for a while until they finally turned in a script... on September 10, 2001. A day later, they realised the idea of Gump quietly going through American history wasn't gonna be funny anymore. And count me in as someone who thought Mike Drucker was related to Mad's Mort Drucker, good to hear that clarified as not the case. Thanks to an in-depth article by Mick Broderick for Screening the Past, we know what Stanley Kubrick thought of the Simpsons: "Kubrick’s daughter Katharina has confirmed that her father was “quite a fan” of the show and chuffed at the references to his movies. His long-time personal assistant Anthony Frewin also recalled: “[Stanley] thought The Simpsons was wonderfully funny and inventive how it satirized so many aspects of the American dream.”" Full link to the article: http://www.screeningthepast.com/issue-42-post-kubrick-dossier/animating-kubrick-auteur-influences-in-the-simpsons/

I am a man motivated by nostalgia, but I couldn't bring myself to pay for that Stranger Things New Coke box. I don't recall ever actually consuming New Coke as a kid, though there's a solid chance it happened. I usually only got soda when visiting my grandparents when I was young enough for New Coke to be around and they were all Pepsi households. Maybe it would have happened at a cook-out or something. There was more of a curiosity factor at play with the reissue than pure nostalgia, and I just wasn't down for paying 20 bucks for the privilege since I didn't care about anything else it came with. Plus, I had already participated in both the Surge and Crystal Pepsi revivals and neither one was especially exceptional. I think I ended up giving away most of the Surge to curious visitors to my home. I also don't drink much soda anymore so it's likely my enjoyment was impacted by that.

I’m sure I heard somewhere that the writer of Forrest Gump, hated the movie and wrote the sequel purposely ludicrous, starting with him at an award ceremony for the film and thinking it isn’t very good

Can imagine Forrest being on top of the tower and needing to pee so leaves moments before the plane struck!

Hey guys. Regarding the USDA beef grading system, the order goes (from best to worst), Prime, Choice, Select, Standard, Commerical, and then Utility, Cutter, and Canner. Most grocery stores and restaurants will have Choice as the default. Nicer ones will have Prime, and really cheap places will have select. Standard and commercial are typically used in things like hot dogs, pre-made frozen burgers and meatballs, and canned goods. Utility, cutter, and canner are used in very cheap canned goods and pet food.

My grade school in Long Island took part in Hands Across America. We all went out and held hands outside on the playground.

If Henry ever writes an autobiography, the Simpsons tapes should be the framing device. We went from the pithy and relatable stakes of setting a VCR timer to major childhood upheaval. Maybe we can get James L Brooks to direct

I think I noticed in this rewatch that when smoking Joe is presenting the award you can see his eyes move with the teleprompter. I bet the animators did that after his "been hit in the head too many times" line reading.

Ok so the Penguin discussion, so is acting now your only allowed to be a fat guy if your a fat guy, and your only allowed to play an albino quadriplegic if you were born that way? I get it if it’s like offensive black face, but what’s acting if you can only be what you are? That’s not acting that’s just life.

The issue is there aren't that many very fat people on-screen, and when they are, it's usually for unflattering reasons (fat jokes, etc.). That gives few opportunities for fat actors to be given prominent roles. So when a thin actor is put in prosthetics to play someone fat, that takes away good role opportunities for fat actors. It's not hard to find a fat actor. I imagine there aren't many quadriplegic actors with albinism vying for a big break. tl;dr: fat actors exist, give them roles

Still extremely bizarre to me that there wasn't a season 13 or 14 episode that brought back Herb given all the ideas they got from making commentaries on older episodes and then having them resurge in that era, like Artie Ziff and the like.
