We go slightly off schedule to do 2003's holiday Simpsons ep, and we welcome back YouTube creator Pop Arena (check out their Nickelodeon retrospective Nick Knacks)! After we reflect on all of the Xmas specials we grew up watching, we follow Homer on a journey of self-discovery. Can you give Certs as a gift? How many bits were cut from the script? And how accurate is this to Mr. Magoo lore? We dig into all of that in this seasonal podcast!
