In Part 2 of our discerning look into "The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror 01 to 04," we start with the two literary parodies and then delve into broader discussion about the general appeal of "The Simpsons."
- One of these stories makes a reference to the political primaries of 1992 that included Ross Perot. Don't the days of Ross Perot seem quaint now, in a good way? Could we get that kind of political season back please?
- Did Dave enjoy the monkey's paw parody, or is this another one in the bad category? What did Todd think about it?
- Being a literature fan, did Dave appreciate any aspects of the "Raven" parody? Being less of a literature fan, did that parody reach Todd at all?
- Were there any strong opinions about the wraparound segments, the framing devices that bind the separate stories together into full episodes?
- Which Grandpa moments did Preston enjoy? What is Todd's favorite Grandpa moment that comes from a totally separate episode?
- When trying to determine comedic tastes, was there consensus among the Geeks on Jeff Foxworthy or Jeff Dunham? Which Geek loves the Walter puppet, which Geek loves Jose the "jalapeno on a stick," and which Geek thinks Akhmed the Dead Terrorist is overrated?
- How did the movie "PCU" come up in conversation?
- Everybody has..."their own"...what, exactly?
- How many episodes of the "The Simpsons" has there been?
- Preston is the huge Simpsons fan. Just how high did he score these four "Treehouse of Horror" episodes?
- What is one of Dave's biggest problems with "The Simpsons"?
- Which two very different movies were randomly rolled to be reviewed in the near-ish future?
- And, since he couldn't join Preston & Todd during the full review a couple months ago, what were Dave's "quick & dirty" thoughts about "The Fall Guy" (one of this year's most underrated movies so far)?
