Eat My (Short) Shorts 15: Nick And James Enjoy A Birthday

Hey, it's that Simpsons podcast you used to listen to! Remember?! And they've got a new episode!  Originally recorded in February 2021, right after episode 69. Worth the wait? Who can say.

Homer Badman

What if Homer...was a bad man? We'd have to come back and record a new episode about it.

68: Homer Badman

There's a bit of a tedious bit in this episode where Nick and I slip away from the mic and have a conversation in the kitchen, and although I cut it down a lot I decided to leave over half of it in. Was that a good idea? I don't know. In this episode of our podcast we talk about the popular animated sitcom The Simpsons, and, more specifically, that one episode where Lisa plays ice hockey. It's good! You should listen to it.  email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com Twitter: @KeySpringfield Facebook: Just, like, search for us. We'd love a like!

Eat My Shorts 14: James & Nick Drink Something Stupid

Bob Roberts

This week, we discuss that one episode of The Simpsons where a pathetic former television star (and criminal) with wild hair rises to power in the Republican party, eventually claiming far more power than you'd think a man like that would be capable of wielding after rigging the results, only to eventually be undone by his own childish anger. It made us sad.  Also if you make 'PRBLMTC' a real thing please credit us and give us some money or we'll sue.  Twitter Facebook email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

Hello! Our Itchy &amp; Scratchy Land episode, open for business! Who are you to resist it, huh?   This week, we dive into what turns out to be an extraordinarily good episode of The Simpsons, even by golden period standards. We talk about the emergence of new character Shark Boy, our weird childhood misinterpretations of this episode, and whether or not Nick having not seen Star Wars counts as a personality trait or not.

A deep-dive into The Simpsons by two guys whose lives have been defined by the show.

Perfect for any Simpson&#39;s fan. I’ll be sharing with my friends who are fans. Good pov!

What a fun podcast, really looking forward to more!

So cool!

Pods in the Key of Springfield: A Simpsons Podcast

32: The Otto Show / Bart's Friend Falls in Love 

As we approach the end of season 5 like a couple of...non...giving up podcast guys, your hosts James and Nick contemplate the big questions. Does The Boy Who Knew Too Much actually make much sense? Does the trial work on a legal level?  Is Lady Bouvier's Lover, just quietly, a masterpiece? Would Nick enjoy The Graduate? What happens when James sits down to write the show notes after a long day of work and just doesn't have the energy or brain power to remember what this episode is about?

Horror IV

It's the end of November, so naturally those smart lads at Pods in the Key of Springfield, with their good sense of scheduling, are putting out a Halloween episode. In this spooky chat they pick apart Treehouse of Horror IV (The Devil &amp; Homer Simpson, Terror at 5 1/2 Feet, Bart Simpson's Dracula), and come away with a few questions. What is the legal precedent for the case of Homer v. Satan? What's going on with the funny little green ghoul? Who is HP Lovecraft, exactly? Will Adam Scott do a good job in the new Twilight Zone? Is Uter travelling between dimensions? Is it as important to wash your neck before visiting a vampire as Mr Burns makes it out to be? Does Count von Count from Sesame Street need blood to live?  This one's good, we reckon. Come enjoy it!   Twitter: @KeySpringfield FB: facebook.com/podsinthekeyofspringfield email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.comAlso this week, James and Nick have a cameo on the D&amp;D podcast 'Aussies and Dragons' - go check that out.

49: Treehouse of Horror IV

Imagine that bit in Krusty Gets Kancelled where 'GABBO' flashes on the screen repeatedly, except it says 'PODS IN THE KEY OF SPRINGFIELD' instead.   This week on the podcast we break down the star-studded season 4 finale, try to unpack the absolute horror of Gabbo's existence, and James irritates Nick by insisting that they list their five favourite episodes of the season.   We have a competition this week too! You can win a copy of Giant Margarita's 'Party Crashers'. Don't worry, I put it right at the start of the episode.  Part of the Alottagreen network.

46: Krusty Gets Kancelled / Top 5 Episodes of Season 4

Hey. What's happenin', folks? This week we have our first EAT MY SHORTS episode, where we cover a smaller part of The Simpsons universe, another little piece of Springfield that has seeped deep into our brains. This time, we look at 90s phenomenon The Bartman, the hip dance number that we would have been setting clubs alight with the 90s had we been the right age for it. Nick doesn't remember having ever seen it, while James is very impressed that director Brad Bird would go on to make The Incredibles and Mission Impossible 4 (which is definitely the best Mission Impossible, don't @ me). We revisit Do the Bartman to better understand its popularity, to try and master its intricate moves, and to dig into the deeper meaning of what it means, exactly, to 'Do the Bartman'. Everybody, if you can, Do the Bartman. If you can't, listen to this episode instead. Twitter: @KeySpringfield Facebook: facebook.com/podsinthekeyofspringfield

In this, the 53rd episode of Pods in the Key of Springfield / the ninth episode of the Eat My Shorts subseries / the third episode in our newly christened 'Control Pods in the Key of Springfield' on-going...thing, we jump back into videogames (and talk about Shrek for a bit, naturally).   This week we look at Krusty's Super Fun House - which is like Lemmings, but not as good - and Bart's Nightmare, which is actually kind of legitimately interesting.

Eat My Shorts 9: Krusty's Super Fun House / Bart's Nightmare

Alex Goldman

In 1997, James was published for the first time. His letter in Simpsons Comics, which detailed why Homer was his favourite character on The Simpsons, was the first of many things James would write for print; it was the first step on a journey he has spent his life walking.   Along the way the comic was lost, thrown out in a house clean when James was a child. For years, he has been haunted by the memory of the lost comic, the proof he had of that one early moment of pride and success. In 2017, James started Pods in the Key of Springfield, hoping to carve out a new Simpsons-related legacy, but still the comic loomed over him. He became sad, isolated, weird.   In a very special Pods in the Key of Springfield, Nick, sick of James’ whining, proposes that the two seek out the issue and set James’ tormented mind at ease. But to find it, they realise, they’ll need the help of one of the Internet’s premiere investigators – Alex Goldman, of Reply All fame.    Can a soul be set at ease after twenty years of torment? Can James and Nick catch the attention of their favourite podcaster? Is there such a thing as ethical consumption under capitalism? Join us for answers to these, and maybe a few other questions too.    (Special thanks to Mike Irving on this one as well)   FB: facebook.com/podsinthekeyofspringfield  Twitter: @KeySpringfield  Email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

The Missing Comic Book (feat. Alex Goldman)

Finally, the episode you've been waiting for - the one based on the SEO principle that 'top 5' lists are a good way of driving audiences towards your thing! We take this process very seriously (well...some of us) and ultimately produce the only two top five lists you'll ever need. If you only ever watch five episodes of The Simpsons...consider the episodes on these lists, uh, potential contenders. Look, season 2 was very good and we have plenty to say about our favourites. Our top choices might surprise you, too (if you're...invested in us, I mean).  We think that this is a fun episode. We hope that you think so too!

The Pods in the Key of Springfield 'Love the Beast' Special

Seymour Skinner

Your pod friends James and Nick have finally covered 100 episodes of seldom-seen animated American sitcom The Simpsons! We look forward to the next 550-or-so, which we're sure will...retain the high level of quality we've enjoyed thus far, right?   In this episode of the podcast we look at the time Burnsy more-or-less kidnapped Bart and then the one where there's a dog in the vents and Skinner gets fired.   Discussion topics this week: Thomas Pynchon (as he relates to Burns' Heir), the ads before movies (as seen in Burns' Heir), whether or not Deadpool knows that he's in a movie (uuuh, I forget why), the trailer for Danny Boyle's 'Yesterday' (it's kind-of relevant), Snagglepuss (because he's mentioned in that second episode), and...a bunch of stuff about The Simpsons. It's a good show, honestly.  Twitter Facebook email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

57: Burns' Heir / Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song

Here it is, the most poorly named of Simpsons episodes! A Seussian nightmare that, as James explains in this episode (of Pods in the Key of Springfield, the very podcast you've stumbled upon), turned us all off fugu for life. Two sweet eps this week, as we also check out The Way We Was, featuring that piece of s**t Artie Ziff. In this one James and Nick compare bucket lists, discuss the intricate rules of basketball, play some music, unpack Nick's increasingly intricate Omlette Theory about the folded universe of the show, and talk about The Simpsons for about 56 of our 64 minutes, which is pretty good. We have fun! Come have fun with us!  Twitter: @KeySpringfield Facebook: facebook.com/podsinthekeyofspringfield Insta: podsinthekeyofspringfield

14: One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish / The Way We Was

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past, refusing to learn from our past mistakes, unable to remember the faces of our ancestors, doomed to repeat this cycle of watching The Simpsons Movie after each season of The Simpsons (unless literally no one downloads this one, we suppose). This is our second watching of The Simpsons Movie for this podcast, and already the cracks are showing (in us moreso than in the film). This time we delve a lot deeper into the implications of the movie's depiction of the Simpsons universe; more specifically, Nick is on the lookout for Norman, the vagabond rogue from the show's pilot, while James digs deep into Colossus mythology, certain that the good doctor is pulling the strings of not only the residents of Springfield, but for the audience itself.  Look, this movie is hard-going, but we do it because we love you. We love that you're here for us. Come listen as the rough beast slouches towards Bethlehem (because, if it wasn't already clear, we really don't dig this movie).

24: Treehouse of Horror II

James and Nick have finally made it to the Land of Chocolate. Having arrived ten minutes ago, as of this recording, James and Nick spend a long time talking about alcohol (because the first episode was about Moe!) and try to unpack some of the current-day murkiness of what The Simpsons looks like now that we're old and jaded about the world that has left us behind. These are solid eps.

26: Flaming Moe's / Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk

This week. as the universe of The Simpsons fissures and folds in on itself, we ask the important questions. Something is amiss, and as great as these episodes are (Señor Plow no es macho / Es solamente un borracho) we must face up to the darkness they contain. What is causing the rift in space and time we witnessed in New Kid on the Block? Is there a sinister cabal working to bring something malevolent about? Who is Doctor Tongue? Who do you think that is there?    We also talk plows, and give ourselves a performance review. Which bits will stick around, and which of James' schticks have annoyed Nick too profoundly to continue?  Twitter: @KeySpringfield FB: facebook.com/podsinthekeyofspringfield email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com (if anyone is interested in covering a Simpsons song for us, we'd love to hear from you).

Hello! Season 5 of The Simpsons ends on a bit of a weird note, so we decided to bring in Elliot Jay O'Neill from The Simpsons Index podcast to, uh, help us also end on a weird note. Lots of questions to address here: has Homer become unstuck in time? Who is the Fleshmütter? How long can we go without introducing our guest? Isn't it, like, kind of abusive to tell your wife that you're going to die if she doesn't let you start depending on her again? This one hasn't aged so well!  Also in this episode: our top five episodes of The Simpsons season 5, a forward-sell for the next movie episode, and some further information about that weird bit of podcast lore where James keeps alluding to that period of time when he was living with Nick. Come listen to us wrap up the season and grow increasingly wary about the fact that we only have three seasons left of the 'golden age'!  Part of the Alottagreen network.
