Episode 44: Saturdays of Thunder (come for The Simpsons, stay for Michael Jackson grabbing his crotch)

Saturdays of Thunder is probably a minor classic, with more than one memorable gag, and a heartwarming story about Homer connecting with Bart.

But, for Chris Prentice and I, it's an excuse to go off on several adjacent tangents about Henry Winkler, Joel Silver action films and - of course - Michael Jackson... The thing is, his famous (infamous?) "Black or White" music video (or short film, if you prefer) originally premiered right after this episode. So, of course we can't help ourselves and we talk about that...at length, which leads us into talking about Macaulay Culkin and stuff like that...

Anyway, it is a good episode. That's what matters. And our talk is also good.

Dig in.
