"Guilty As Charged"

Eat The Pudding: A Simpsons Podcast

Episode 16: “Guilty As Charged”

Welcome to the Eat The Pudding fan podcast, where Michael and Ian explore the Simpsons universe in all its colourful and cromulent forms. This is the sixteenth episode: “Guilty As Charged”.

This week’s Spotlight On Springfield is on a man with big shoes to fill: Sideshow Bob, arguably the most cultivated person in Springfield and, with the possible exception of Maggie Simpson, the most psychopathic. We trace the velvet-voiced villain’s evolution in a series of evergreen Bob-centric episodes and ask ourselves why the authorities insist on letting him out of prison every season.

As part of our Late Bloomers segment, we dip a tentative toe into the murky waters of late-period Simpsons with a Season 24 episode called To Cur With Love. As well as this, we pay tribute to recently departed country music queen Dolly Parton and discuss the lacklustre episode she guest-starred in and what we would have done better. But, as ever, no one bothered to ask us our opinion and now it’s too late.
