Camp Krusty

Greetings campers! Who's ready for some Itchy & Scratchy?!?! Oh, you know we are! Greg, Jordan, and JB dive in to the first Simpsons episode that focuses on the most popular violent cartoon- Itchy & Scratchy & Marge! We love this meta and overall brilliant season 2 episode! So grab your mallets, spice racks, and S.N.U.H. protest signs... and maybe a raincoat cuz it's gonna get bloody! Plus we play trivia and Greg picks an episode for the Season 10+ grab bag, and he's picking is absolute favorite season 10 episode!

We are back campers! Hope you all missed us on our month or so off! Next up in season 2 is the classic holiday special Bart vs. Thanksgiving! Christmas in July is kind of a thing,  so logically celebrating Thanksgiving in June could be a thing... Get ready to grab your cans of cranberry sauce, Swedish meatballs, and your feminist centerpieces, and let's all be thankful for The Simpsons and each other! As always we play some trivia and Jordan has the Season 10+ episode pick this week.

Ahoy hoy campers! We're back to reviewing season 2 episodes and we're cramming this episode discussing episodes 5 and 6 of season 2... Dancin Homer and Dead Putting Society! Both are wonderful episodes and we enjoy talking about how elements in both really helped carve out major things for the series moving forward. We also play trivia, and JB has his next Season 10+ episode pic

Ahoy-hoy campers! It's been a hot minute since we've done a Sideshow, and for the first one of season two, we are talking about 3 different Simpson anthology, or "trilogy" episodes that are not Treehouse of Horror. These episodes come from seasons 8, 10, and 12 and each of different themes and wrap-around stories.  This a jam-packed episode campers... 3 anthology episodes X 3 stories per episode = 9 stories.... PLUS trivia and a pick by Greg for the Season 10+ Episode Grab Bag = the longest Camp Krusty episode so far! Get cozy campers, it's storytime!

BOO! Scared you campers! Pack your sleeping bags and flashlights cuz we are headed up to the camp Treehouse to discuss what is arguably the most important, and therefore best, episode of the entire series... the groundbreaking first Treehouse of Horror! We also play trivia and Jordan selects a Season 10+ episode to recommend.

Ready for a treat campers?? In this week's campfire we are cramming two Simpsons season 2 episodes into one smore of an episode, Camp Krusty style!  We talk "Simpson & Delilah," and then "Two Cars In Every Garage & Three Eyes On Every Fish."  There's a couple common elements in these two episodes, which we discuss as well.  Plus JB presents an episode he likes from the Season 10+ Grab Bag, and we play some trivia. 

Greetings and welcome to another season of Camp Krusty!  We are rolling right into season 2, and now we embark upon season 2 of The Simpsons, discussing its premiere episode: "Bart Gets An F!" In addition to trivia, we have a new segment that will feature in every episode: The Season 10+ Episode Grab Bag! Come gather 'round and enjoy!

You did it campers! You joined us through the entire first season of The Simpsons! What a blast, and we had a few fun Sideshows along the way! It was such a treat for us to revisit the premiere season of the most iconic show in television history, and we send it off proper with a very special... enchanted, if you will... episode that has a secure place in our hearts. We hope it does for you too, so gather 'round the campfire, and listen as we discuss, "Some Enchanted Evening."

Gather 'round campers! Here at Camp Krusty we are celebrating a very special episode to us, the first episode focusing on our podcast's namesake... KRUSTY THE CLOWN! We discuss why this episode is iconic for the series, and one of the top tier of season one! Behold the emergence of the most notorious antagonist of The Simpsons, Sideshow Bob himself! We have a lot of fun here, and we hope you do too! So light that... campfire... and relive the mystery of when Krusty Gets Busted!

Hope you campers had a good winter break! JB, Jordan, and Greg are back to do what we promised after our Simpsons World Tour... we're exploring the first international outing of a Simpson in this iconic episode of Bart spending time in France as a foreign exchange student.  And the Simpsons take in an Albanian boy with strong economic views and a suspicious interest in nuclear power.

Hey hey, campers!  Camp Krusty is back and we're back on our hike of season one! We are at the tenth episode ever of the Simpsons, getting closer to the first finale! JB, Jordan, and Greg reflect on the significant moral themes of "Homer's Night Out," and discuss fun topics like photography, strippers, and going viral before the internet was a thing. 

Hey-hey kids! It's time for another sideshow! Get outta here season 1! (for now)... Join us as we tag along with our favorite cartoon family as they travel to three real-life places... two are below the equator and one has something in the sewer. We start this first round of the world tour with what we three agree are the top 3 family travel episodes! 

Grab your bowling balls, campers, cuz we're hitting the bowling alley!  Marge certainly is in this episode, and we discuss yet another emotionally real and heavy hitting season one episode! We all can't help but give major praise to legendary Simpsons guest star, "A. Brooks," who returns once again for another one-off season 1 role! Big treat for you all on this one: as a send-off to the spirit of Halloween this year, we also each do a grab bag of favorite Treehouse of Horror segments! 

Ahoy-hoy campers!  Welcome to our tenth episode!  JB, Greg, and Jordan discuss the memorable and iconic "The Telltale Head," season 1, episode 8.  We discuss a bunch of staple side characters making their first appearances in this episode, as well as the episode's impact and influence on The Simpsons as a series, and on television as a whole.  Don't lose your head!

Get ready for a trip to the great outdoors campers, cuz the Simpsons are getting in touch with nature!  We discuss this hilarious and surreal episode of season 1, which features the first character in the series to be voiced by the brilliant Albert Brooks!

Greetings campers! This week JB, Greg, and Jordan take a break from chronology to present another Sideshow episode, once again all picking personal favorite episodes! If you're a fan of season 6 (1994-1995) you are going to enjoy our choices!

Cue up your favorite jazz tune, campers, cuz we got our first Lisa-focused episode of the series!  Jordan, JB, and Greg discuss season 1, episode 6: "Moaning Lisa," one of the most emotionally significant episodes of season one, and arguably the entire series.  We also talk arcades and video games in this episode thanks to Homer and Bart.

Welcome campers to our discussion of the first John Swartzwelder-scripted episode in Simpsons history: Bart The General! Hear us talk about what this classic episode brings to the table: fantastic animation bits, censorship issues, war movie homages, and the first appearances of two beloved and iconic characters!  Plus we play more trivia!

We are back to the episode reviews with the fourth episode of season one of The Simpsons!  We discuss why this is one of the most unique episodes, not just in season one, but in the entire history of the series! Also, Jordan, JB, and Greg all play a Simpsons Trivia game that Jordan picked up (spoiler alert: we did not the rules sheet!)

Camp Krusty takes a break from the first season of The Simpsons to have a freeform discussion about personal favorite episodes. Hear Jordan, JB, and Greg each pick one episode they love from anywhere in the series, and give brief examinations as to why they love them, and why we feel most Simpsons fans do, or should! Which episodes did we individually pick? Come listen and find out, enjoy!

It's our third episode ever, campers! JB, Jordan, and Greg discuss the third episode released during The Simpsons' first season, "Homer's Odyssey!" Homer has quite a journey here, and we get a lot of first-time appearances of iconic characters and Springfield locations! Enjoy!
