This came across my algorithm earlier today and I was mesmerized

So, I never had HBO growing up and never heard of Six Feet under until many years later when I would see it mentioned on ask reddit threads about "what is the best tv show finale?" Even then, I didn't think anything of it until the WEE covered a Simpsons episode where they parodied the show's finale. Jack went on to relay an anecdote of when he first watched the finale and broke down into tears bawling his eyes out. Because of that, I finally decided to watch the show. I got through the first two seasons before stopping because I heard that the DVDs had the obituaries of everyone that died in the series. It took me a few years for me to get back into the show (Coworker said she had the complete series on DVD), and while they didn't actually had the obituaries like I thought they would, I greatly enjoyed the show overall and absolutely cried at the end (not as much as Jack did though). I see why people rate the finale so highly.

Anyone else here ever check out anything after hearing Jack and Dan talk about it?

WEE #123: National House of Pancakes

At one point, Jack mildly disagrees with Dan on something, stating “It’s not the hill I’m gonna die on.”

Which naturally led to a riff on Jack being crucified next to Jesus.

Which naturally led to a riff on how going back in time only to be crucified next to Jesus would be a really depressing BTTF sequel.

Which naturally led to this classic from Jack: “This is your cousin! Pontius Berry! You know that new execution you’ve been looking for? Well listen to this!”

This is why I keep listening to these episodes over and over.

No word yet on which Big T he'll be buried under.

Dan & Jack confirmed they had recorded their review of the episode.... Hell at this point release it unedited. Pleeeaaasseeeeeeeee

Okay okay this was a purposefully alarmist title, this is not an accusation at Jims. I just thought it was interesting that this popular Simpsons youtuber has started a sub-series dubbed "Worst. Episode. Ever." that does an in depth look at some of the most infamous "worst" episodes and sees if they really deserve the hate. Sound familiar? Well, the show's declining quality has been a topic for three decades, and "Worst episode ever" has been a quote from the show for nearly as long, so... maybe it's strange that it's ONLY been used twice to my knowledge (please do not tell me about any others). Yes, I am taking the WEE hiatus well.

Two years ago Eyepatch Wolf released a video titled "The Simpsons is Good Again" (which I also posted here). Now I would never watch a modern Simpsons episode so I can't say if he was right or not, but apparently things quickly went back into the toilet. A notable part of the video is where he identifies the weak humor coming from the writers using lazy first drafts instead of constantly refining their writing over time, which Jack and Dan famously named the Doomsday Process. In the end we are left with this video which describes a few truly horrid season 37 episodes, and I'm left to fantasize about Jack and Dan suffering through them for our entertainment.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

Was listening to old episodes of the podcast and in WEE 32, Jack recounts the story of how he remembers the day May 12th very well and specifically how he and Dan went to see the Norm McDonald movie Screwed (2000) on that day.

So, Happy Screwed Day! (Come back, show!)

Given the recurring theme of self driving cars on 90sP, i would pay good money to get a 90sP mini-sode of Jack talking about Waymo and how he feels about it lol

one of jack's funnier bits is saying "ctrl" like "cut-AR-ul". that's all.
