Talking Simpsons - Mr. Plow With Will Menaker
🕑 Added 2023-12-06 07:22:56 +0000 UTCWe've reached what some consider the best episode of Simpsons ever, so we welcome back one of our best guests ever, Will Menaker from Chapo Trap House! We have so much to say about this triumph of writing and animation, from the show's love for Adam West and Linda Rondstadt to the jingle still stuck in our heads decades later, and even exploring the realities of freezing to death. All that, plus an exploration of William Friedkin's movie mindset in this week's podcast!

Forgive me an anecdote, but a few years ago I started a job on a ranch and was incredibly unfamiliar with the requisite vehicles there. On my first day, another employee threw a set of keys at me and said to follow him. I climbed into a behemoth of a rig that I had basically no idea how to operate. Panic began to compound - new job, first day, already lost my footing - until I saw the 'H' on the gear shirt (high). Instantly thought of this episode and that iconic quote, giggled to myself, calmned down, and drove that thing for nine months without the slightest issue

I don't have this episode in my Top 25, it's more of a Top 50 episode for me. So I guess you could say I like this episode less than others. I didn't realize just how popular this episode was.
