2019/02/05

This week, the madman behind the scenes - Dr Colossus - flickers across our screen for a moment, and we are made to know a thin portion of his horror. As Homer escapes into space later in our pairing, we earthbound fools are left to tremble over his coming dominion. Also this week: Mr Burns being quite good at turning Smithers on! Stupid Lisa Garbage Face! Toiling in underground sugar mines! And all the other moments from that TV show you like, immortalised by two guys sort of talking around

2019/01/29

The story of how two friends (and no other men) parlayed a lifelong interest in an animated sitcom into a thriving podcast concern is a long and interesting one. And here it is. It all started with the filing of form 1217B - an expression of interest in recording and distributing a weekly audio file... ...many important things have been podcasted about over the years. True crime, parodies of true crime, other podcasts...why, even food and candy. But we only make podcasts to discuss The

Yep, it's that time again - late January, the time of year where we're all still celebrating Christmas. This is a perfectly normal time to release a holiday episode in which we open presents from one another, and I won't hear it suggested otherwise. This is a thing that would have happened even if the present Nick had ordered had arrived back in December, for sure, without a doubt. Now let's all enjoy a traditional January holiday song: Dashing under the sun, Open iTunes and press ‘play’, Through

2019/01/15

We're back at it again! This week we check out dollar-pringfield, in which Marge is enslaved by the neon-clawed Gamblor, and Homer the Vigilante, in which a cat burglar commits a series of unlikely thefts. So what do we get into this week? Religion (kind of)! Disgraced comedians! The Australian gambling epidemic! Some poetry, for some reason! Sleepwalking! The very concept of vigilante justice! And a bunch of stuff about The Simpsons, obviously, because the show continues to be delightful and

Eat My Shorts 12: Virtual Bart

2019/01/08

Virtual reality has turned into a pretty interesting space in the last few years. There are finally proper good games coming out for VR systems, VR training is working its way into various industries, and VR cinema/theatre is slowly starting to look more like a thing. And then there's Virtual Bart, the 1994 SNES/Genesis game that showed us the true potential for VR - it could be used to turn little Barty boy into a pigman. Join us for another installment of Control Pods in the Key of Springfield,

2018/12/11

Oh wow, the Simpsons was good in season 5. Like, seriously, bloody hell. What a good pair of episodes. This week, James and Nick join the Junior Campers to talk about the 90s economy, abstraction in animation, and just how long Bart and company spend stranded at sea. They talk about the stupid things they believed as kids, their own experiences with scout troops, and...do some actual critique. Wow! In the back half, your two podfriends talk the greatness of Mindy Simmons, the regressive policies

In honour of this episode pairing's 'Do As You Feel Festival', we're going to skip the standard podcast description. It's episode 50. You get it right now, and if you don't, you should listen to us until you do (uh, please). email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

2018/11/27

It's the end of November, so naturally those smart lads at Pods in the Key of Springfield, with their good sense of scheduling, are putting out a Halloween episode. In this spooky chat they pick apart Treehouse of Horror IV (The Devil & Homer Simpson, Terror at 5 1/2 Feet, Bart Simpson's Dracula), and come away with a few questions. What is the legal precedent for the case of Homer v. Satan? What's going on with the funny little green ghoul? Who is HP Lovecraft, exactly? Will Adam Scott do a good

2018/11/20

It's two (significantly shorter than usual) episodes for the price of one (which is still nothing, this podcast is entirely free)! Recently, Bongo's long running Simpsons Comics released its 245th-and-final issue, ending a run that has lasted for over twenty years. James and Nick picked up the final issue to read through it, and present here their condensed rendition of the weird little story it tells. Does Batman get involved? Will they reference that letter James had published once? What weird

48: Homer Goes to College / Rosebud

Pods in the Key of Springfield: A Simpsons Podcast ·

2018/11/13

We keep rolling through season 5, asking the important questions about all things The Simpsons. What sort of job should James seek, since his university gig is starting to get old? Why aren't the head bee guys of our nation doing their jobs? Did Citizen Kane end by blasting 1000 years into the future, or are we remembering it wrong? What is 'Sheriff Lobo'? Will our listeners be able to forgive the terrible cold James has, but never directly mentions, after he managed to cut out about 70% of the

2018/11/06

Your good podcast friends James and Nick are back for season 5 of The Simpsons, which is a strong contender for 'Very Best Season'. And wouldn't you know it, it opens with a pair of bangers. In this one we try to unpack the reasoning behind calling Surgeon General C. Everett Koop about all the latest medical poop, bicker over what 'barbershop' is, exactly, and get Die, Bart, Die tattooed across our chests mid-recording (but we had to cut all of that because the buzzing was so distracting).

Twenty-Two Films About Springfield: Citizen Kane

Pods in the Key of Springfield: A Simpsons Podcast ·

2018/10/16

In 1941, Orson Welles released Citizen Kane into cinemas. With its innovative use of deep focus and its extraordinary commitment to detail, it, of course, flopped hard. Years later, The Simpsons would reference it a bunch. Some other stuff happened in-between. This week, on our season finale of Pods in the Key of Springfield, movie buff James forces Nick to watch Citizen Kane to see if it matches up with the image of the film he's gotten from The Simpsons and the rest of our cultural milieu.

2018/10/09

Imagine that bit in Krusty Gets Kancelled where 'GABBO' flashes on the screen repeatedly, except it says 'PODS IN THE KEY OF SPRINGFIELD' instead. This week on the podcast we break down the star-studded season 4 finale, try to unpack the absolute horror of Gabbo's existence, and James irritates Nick by insisting that they list their five favourite episodes of the season. We have a competition this week too! You can win a copy of Giant Margarita's 'Party Crashers'. Don't worry, I put it right at

Hens love roosters! Astronauts love heat shield! Everyone else, loves Pods in the Key of Springfield! (Not many things rhyme with Springfield). This week, we watch a bad episode, and then a good one! It's the one where Bart and Lisa write a new Itchy and Scratchy cartoon. I know that one doesn't stand out in your head so much, but trust us, it's funny.

Pods in the Key of Springfield: A Simpsons Podcast ·

2018/09/18

So get this - apparently The Simpsons is still going? It's true! Season 30 is starting on September 30. To help everyone prepare, we turned our in-depth knowledge and laser focus on the episode titles announced for the new season and guessed what 20 of next season's episodes will look like. Why are so many of them named after Beatles songs? Is there going to be a terrible reckoning this season? And could James and Nick make it as sports broadcasters if they took a hard turn?

2018/09/11

Here it is - the (canonical) best episode of the show, as declared by Entertainment Weekly (if you want to hear about the actual best episode you're going to have to either scroll back to episode 40 or wait for next season, depending on your views). This week we talk through beer-related misadventures, spider issues, and ask our listeners to declare fealty to either #TeamJames or #TeamNick. We also talk about The Simpsons!
