Eat My Shorts 3: Deep, Deep Trouble

If The Simpsons is the defining pop-culture of 90s America, then Deep, Deep Trouble is the foundation upon which that culture was built. In this very special episode of Pods in the Key of Springfield, Nicholas and James take an analytical perspective on Deep, Deep Trouble's deeply, deeply troubling depiction of a young boy lost, cast aside by the father figure (his father), his tepid rebirth oscilating between being a moment of great desire and a painful milestone thrust upon him. Perhaps, in a way, we are all Bart, denied even the pleasures of a simple boat show, set out to sea in a world that does not love us, but which we try hard to love back anyway, unaware of the irony of our own existence.

Pods in the Key of Springfield is a goofy podcast full of japes and gags, so please enjoy.
