Talking Simpsons - The Bart of War With Brendan James
🕑 Added 2024-06-19 04:00:02 +0000 UTCWe're joined again by journalist/podcaster Brendan James, cohost of the leftist history podcast Blowback, just in time for an episode inspired by America's wars. After the unexpected reveal that Ned love The Beatles, Bart joins the Pre-Teen Braves. That then leads to an extensive F Troop parody that's a gateway to the secrets of one lead actor on the show. Then it all comes to a head with a line that Fox tried to censor. All that, plus Ralph crashing through a window is born in this week's nondenominational podcast!

I was deeply depressed by the long, increasingly obvious run-up to George W Bush's war in Iraq, so the end of this episode felt like a brief salve in a dispiriting, maddening time.

Regarding Ralph's "I'm in danger" line, it may surprise everybody to remember that this is not a Ralph quote from a Simpsons episode! It originates in the 2014 Family Guy crossover, "The Simpson Guy" where it said by Ralph as Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson's lengthy brawl causes the school bus to crash.

Like many a millennial, the only reason I know about One Tin Soldier (aside from the use in this episode) is from the cover of it by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes in the early 2000s.
