Citizen Ukraine ("Citizen Kane" title pun) (yes, sooner or later, I'd write such episode)
Written by Some random freelancer (let it be... Eric Kaplan, "The Saga of Carl")
Directed by Jennifer Moeller
EP: Selman
(cause this one is about my native country, I properly wrote the idea matherial, which is more this time)
Constantly hearing about Ukraine's involvement in the past of one of the candidates for US presidency, Homer got sick of it and decide to travell all family there to explain, who is who. There, during the excursion, the Simpsons discover that Ukrainians know little about the truth about Americans, so Homer changes his plan and tries to "briefly" tell
[his] truth about America. Meanwhile,
when Homer give his "point of view", Marge is so impressed by the folk culture of Ukraine that she wants to arrange some kind of performance. (sorry for "contry-ad like plot", but: a) it's just my idea and I'm from here; b) that's my own right - to write whatever I want
)
Also, non-written plots
- Lisa as running gag, corrects Homer "that's not Russia". Due to different historyc reasons, many foreigners think "Ukraine is the part of Russia". NOT! They're different countries with different people, culture and strategic way.
- Bart learns some words in ukrainian language (like "козак - kozak", "гринчак - hrynchak" or "скотина - skotyna"), thinking they are swears. (btw, скотина can mean "brute" at max).
Guest stars: Mila Kunis (who is actually came from Ukraine) as Olha, excursion guide*;
Volodymyr Ostapchuk and
Timur Miroshnychenko as Journalists**
*as for Olha character: 1) in Ukrainian transliteration of name "Ольга" Ol
ha is correct variant, though "Ol
ga" is more known wordwide and the name is refference to more famous "Ukrainian-French" actrees
Olga Kurylenko, who is also came from Ukraine; 2)
Olha character is just casual tired excursion guide with a little of werdness", but when she listens to Homer it interested her and she wants to turn his words into some history she'd can presents at her job;
**these guys are/were worldwide famous because they hosted Eurovision Song Contest 2017 (in Ukraine). They both perfect know English, if anything.
Volodymyr Ostapchuk is famous in Ukraine host
(recalled, he'll host upcoming The Masked Singer adaptation), offten voice-over actor, has an education as an English teacher
(this fact I knew just today) and just "that funny guy". If not Eurovision he'd emmigrate to Canada - true story.
Timur Miroshnychenko - is also famous host, voice-over for many programs of Ukrainian Public television (including all Eurovision Song Contests).
