#Simpsons Challenge 2.0

On the other site, I set myself a challenge to watch and rate every single episode of The Simpsons.

I got to Season 21 before moving over to Bluesky and losing that X thread.

This is the new version of that thread....

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep8

I liked the premise of 'Dad Behaviour' (Homer gets an app to do his chores) but it's just an awful remake of 'Brother From The Same Planet'

The 'Grampa is going to be a dad' subplot? 😬 Just no

Avoids a 1 because I loved the retired hostage negotiator bits

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep7

'Havana Wild Weekend' is a Grandpa main story that plays out like one of his rambling anecdotes...it just seems to go on and on.

I smirked a few times but this is a confusing slog of an episode.

The funniest use of any song in a film or TV show is Homer Simpson having War's Why Can't We be Friends as his walk out music when he fights Drederick Tatum. Can no longer listen to it without cracking up.

A confusing one for #5debutalbums8084, it's Burning Blue Soul by Matt Johnson/The The

It's definitely a debut album for Matt Johnson and as he is The The, I guess it's their debut too?

The 1993 reissue credits the album to The The #musicsky

Days Of Thunder #100: Girls, We Got Some Comishinin' To Do

A teething baby, a wedding, and a honeymoon later, Days of Thunder is back on the air! Dave and Lee try to shake the rust off with the most non-descript 100th episode of something you've ever heard. This week on the show: • Snack Talk: Wedding Edition • Peacemaker Season 2 chat, no spoilers! • The Dull Men's Club Derby • A power struggle in WCW, for once. (Note to listeners, if you can explain to me why my mic just sounds like this now in spite of changing nothing, I would appreciate it so I can fix it!)

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep6

'There Will Be Buds' was decent if basic; the kind of episode that always works for me.

Likeable Homer ✅
Laughing at Kirk ✅
Sports ✅

Dare I say it, I could see myself watching this one again. Simple plot, some ok jokes and affable with it.

Two more for #5debutalbums8084 and my ambiguity towards U2 albums continues...

I think U2 has some great songs but I find their albums painfully average #musicsky

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep5

'Trust But Clarify' feels like three decent story ideas condensed into one episode, it would have been better if they had focused on one or two stories.

I thought it was bearable at least and even smirked a few times. The opening bit with Krusty is the peak

#Album a day 277 & 278/365 🎧

A punky start to #5debutalbums8084!

Doubt either makes the final 5 - I love a lot of Descendants songs but their albums are often hit and miss imo and only the shocking Code Blue stands out for TSOL #musicsky

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep4

'Treehouse Of Terror XXVII' was alright, I guess. I'm not a fan of the TOH episodes generally but this might be the best one for a while, thanks to a decent second story and Homer as Blofeld in the third story.

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep3

'The Town' wasn't too bad, it feels like a lot of classic era episodes mashed together into one.

I sympathised with Homer over his sports team allegiances (love the bit where the other team's mascot scores the winning touchdown 🤣) but it's very hit and miss

#Simpsons Challenge S28 Ep2

'Friends And Family' is a better Mr Burns episode than the last one but it's still poor.

Burns forcing everyone bar Homer to be his VR family is weird (especially the naked Marge scene 😮) but I quite liked Homer making a platonic female friend
