Talking Simpsons - The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace With Chris Cabin
🕑 Added 2019-07-17 05:14:19 +0000 UTCThis week we're facing Homer's midlife crisis and Chris Cabin of the podcast We Hate Movies joins us for the occasion! Homer learns he's actually 39 and he searches for meaning in what years he has left, finding inspiration in the life of Thomas Edison. But when that fails, things really fall off the rails with scary inventions, running over ghosts, and toilet chairs! Listen now to learn all about Homer's search for meaning!

A hidden joke I only recognized listening to this very podcast: When Lenny tells his story at the bar, he winds up with "...and this is the part you'll remember for the rest of your lives." Then, just seconds later in the show, Homer's story has permanently erased the story (and Lenny's own name) from his memory. So much for "the rest of your lives!" Feels like an "unstoppable force vs. immovable object" type of situation. The unforgettable story vs. the mind-killingly dull tale!

I visited the Edison museum (as well as his home) in New Jersey last year. The exterior of the building looks very similar to the one shown in the episode. All the equipment is roped off. There's no replica of Edison sitting in a chair, nor a door where they're keeping his brain. The tour guide spoke mostly about the phonograph.
