    SAG-AFTRA / WGA Strike 2023

    I’ve seen these strikes before but there’s a lot more at stake this time—it’s the bosses vs workers vs AI and we’re not more than a decade off from people creating their own shows. When that happens that is, unfortunately, going to put a lot of people out of work.

    These young Disney+ whippersnappers…

    That’s because the episode reviewers had no idea how long and how awful the show would become. If you could pull a modern episode and show it to one of those reviewers, they would be writing an apology letter to Sherry Bobbins.

    Notable Deaths 2023

    Just read this. STEVE HARWELL, singer of Smash Mouth, only has days to live. Smash Mouth was one of my favorite bands of the late 90’s/early 00’s. 😥 EDIT: he just passed away a few hours ago...

    Here’s a setback for studios, trying to replace everything with AI.

    Just how bad is modern Simpsons?

    Along with 13-15, imo. However, that’s the only improvement after S10-11. Season 16-onward has been a trip down Blandtoma. I quit watching in S27 but have tried watching random episodes that are praised and maybe have seen a couple of good ones. The THoH XXV and A Serious Flanders were really...

    Just how bad is modern Simpsons?

    There’s always the reoccurring belief the “last two seasons are an improvement!” that keeps popping up in these conversations. If this “improvement” was true, it means the show been improving since s12.🤦‍♂️

    When and how did “The Principal and the Pauper” become the de facto “breaking point”?

    It’s been years since I’ve seen the episode and heard the DVD commentary, but I think my biggest complaint with this episode was the writers came across with the notion of “if you didn’t like the episode, and the rewriting of Skinners life”, you aren’t SUPPOSED to. It’s almost like a sly way of...

    SAG-AFTRA / WGA Strike 2023

    It’s crazy to think how far technology has come since CGI was pushed in Terminator 2 in 1991 to AI today. If the execs at Hollywood are worried about paying actors now, imagine in 10 years when anyone could write and shoot an AI enhanced movie on an 8TB smartphone with any actor/character they...

    Fan art thread

    This was probably my last Simpsons spinoff pic I did of the 4 Simpson kids back in early 2017. Bart, 34 Lisa, 32 Maggie, 25 Eric, 22

    No, the AI NEVER will replace the forums, much less No Homers Club!

    AnthonyNoHomers70100 is a secret AI experiment that was designed to infiltrate the NHC forum.

    The Complete Trans Failure of The Simpsons - Video Essay - Lily Simpson - May 18, 2023

    It’s not an issue the Simpsons “can’t do better, it’s the Simpsons WON’T do better.” You would need an entire staff overhaul with the writers under 35. Boomers and older Gen-X writers probably aren’t going to give the Trans community the representation they’re asking for.

    The Complete Trans Failure of The Simpsons - Video Essay - Lily Simpson - May 18, 2023

    Speaking of trust, I don’t think the writing staff will embrace anything from the trans community for quite some time. I think the whole Bud Light backlash might have steered them away from making it a focus of any upcoming episodes. (I haven’t seen the synopsis of upcoming episodes, so I’m...

    Rate & Review: "The Very Hungry Caterpillars" (OABF14)

    True, but Lisa could’ve fixed the password issue.

    Rate & Review: "The Very Hungry Caterpillars" (OABF14)

    I just watched this because it seemed like it was getting decent reviews. For the most part, I thought it was a pretty good episode, and it did make fun of the lockdown from a couple years ago. The only part I didn’t like was homer not being able to reset his password. (My dad is in his...
