The movie podcast for Simpsons fans.
Growing up, Adam Schoales and Nate Storring were first introduced to countless classic movies through references on The Simpsons.
On the biweekly Springfield Googolplex podcast, they carry on that tradition by watching and dissecting movies referenced on The Simpsons that they have never seen before.
Writer-director Alex Ross Perry joins Adam and Nate to discuss one of the most prescient movie parodies on The Simpsons: William Friedkin Sorcerer in “Mr. Plow.”
Adam and Nate fall into Ace in the Hole (1951), Billy Wilder’s box office flop that Matt Groening reclaimed for the plot of The Simpsons episode “Radio Bart” (S3E13).
Adam and Nate discuss “The Great Money Caper,” a classic Simpsons-style genre mashup episode about con artist movies, and its parody of Paper Moon.
