Why does “Bart Gets Hit by a Car” (S2E10) show the episode title on screen at the beginning, unlike nearly every other episode of The Simpsons? We think we found an answer in The Fortune Cookie (1966), the very first pairing of longtime comedy duo Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. They're the original odd couple! This forgotten movie provided the plot for this early episode of The Simpsons, and possibly much more.Also in this episode:• A classic example of “homage, French for theft”• How this movie may have inspired the origins of Lionel Hutz and Dr. Nick Riviera• When does Walter Matthau sound most like season 1 Homer in this movie?• Adam and Nate unwisely try to rewrite Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond, two masters of comedy writingPlus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further readingNext time, filmmaker and podcaster Devan Scott returns to discuss Jaws (1975) on its 50th anniversary, alongside its culty parody in “The Joy of Sect” (S9E13).For more Simpsons movie parody content, check out SpringfieldGoogolplex.com, or follow us @simpsonsfilmpod on Instagram, Bluesky, TikTok, YouTube, and Letterboxd.

Do you believe in fortune cookies? Have you ever kept one in your wallet or phone case? Laura is a firm believer that they are signs of the future. So, we put them to the test. We pick out random cookies and read the fortunes to see if they are legit or lame. The guys aren't buying this at all. What is up with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold showing their faces at the SNL 50th anniversary show? And, whose concert got canceled by a "fatberg???" And, omg, are you watching Severance? Dude! We toss around the shows and movies we're into now. Lots of good ones have dropped. We're fun, funny, crazy, awkward, sarcastic, authentic, brutally honest and oh so watchable. We hope you think so, too. Love your podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/laura-cain-after-dark--4162487/support.
