Posted on September 24, 2021 by Nathan

I’m back on a Mario kick this week. Wait, does Mario kick? I know he punches in Super Mario 64. Oh, wait, he kicks Koopa shells. First, I wanted to look at another Mario mini-movie, Mario to Yoshi no Daibouken … Continue reading →

Listening Backward

Posted on July 9, 2020 by Nathan

So You’ve Ruined Your Life

Posted on March 27, 2018 by Nathan

I’ve written before about the floating timeline and the problem with recent flashback episodes for The Simpsons. Last night, we had another rather confusing flashback that contradicted just about everything that had been previously established. Okay, maybe it wasn’t THAT … Continue reading →

Springfield, Springfield, It’s a Hell of a Town

Posted on February 16, 2017 by Nathan

YouTube recently recommended this series of Simpsons Mysteries videos, which are interesting to people like me who tend to over-analyze just about everything we enjoy. Obviously the show negates any real notion of continuity in time or place. Springfield can … Continue reading →

Welcome to the Crossover of Tomorrow!

Posted on November 11, 2014 by Nathan

When I did a post a few days ago on a Disney Afternoon crossover that involved characters who presumably don’t exist in the same continuity, I had forgotten that a Simpsons/Futurama crossover was being aired on Sunday. The Simpsons has … Continue reading →

We’re Just Technologically Impaired

Posted on June 26, 2014 by Nathan

After Alapalooza, “Weird Al” Yankovic didn’t put out another album until 1996, although in the interim his label released a boxed set. It was all material from previous albums aside from the demo version of “My Bologna” and a new … Continue reading →

Wave of the Future!

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Nathan

We got another look into the Simpsons’ future in the most recent episode, and it looks like they’re actually trying to be somewhat consistent this time. Several early episodes included looks into the future, one of the most memorable being … Continue reading →
