TV Makes Sense - Episode 06 - The Simpsons - Lisa the Vegetarian
Wednesday, 31 August, 2022
You don't make friends with salad, but you can if you incessantly quote "The Simpsons". Well, at least the only kinds of friends worth keeping.Matt, Gus, and Sam are back and talking another great episode of one of TV's best shows ever. How does one pick an episode when there's over 700 to choose from? Well, ignore anything from the last 20 years and pick an early episode: in our case, "Lisa the Vegetarian".While it may be an odd choice since it's rarely considered to be among the series' top episodes, but it certainly was one of the most influential. Considering The Simpsons has to constantly shift its own backstory to keep the characters ages' in line with modern times, Lisa still remains a vegetarian almost thirty years later. But not only that, this episode is packed with quotable lines and sight gags, as well as classic bits like an Itchy and Scratchy and a Troy McClure educational video. We take the opportunity to discuss our own flings with vegetarianism; with Sam herself being inspired to give up meat for several years after watching this episode. Gus also talks about eating lentil soups when he gave it a try, and if you feel like trying Paul McCartney's ripping lentil soup, we've done the work to reverse the audio from "Maybe I'm Amazed" so you can hear it for yourself. Matt also gets the chance to deep dive into way to much knowledge on the earlier seasons of the Simpsons: the kind of skill only useful when making podcasts. So settle in: grab a plate of tripe, a bowl of gazpacho, and make sure to remember to BYOBB. Even if we have a brief technical issue with Gus' mic towards the end, it's still good, it's still good!
