This week, we're taking a bit of a diversion to talk about the two-season also-ran created by former Simpsons showrunners, Al Jean and Mike Reiss. How did a live-action Krusty the Clown spin-off turn into a prime-time cartoon that mashed Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert together into one adorably pathetic, pug-ugly movie reviewer? Listen in as we explore the short-lived show that added "Hachi Machi!" to our vocabularies!

Get ready for some robot fighting mixed in with some upsetting pet death in this week's exploration of season 15. Homer and Bart take up the bulk of the plot with a timely parody of Battlebots/Robot Wars (and don't worry, we explain the US/UK differences). At the same time, the show kills off Snowball II in such an offhand way that it's still annoying 20 years later. Will you be as upset as Armin Tamzarian? Listen now and find out!
