Rob vs. The Simpsons

It's the Holidays! How about a light one? As Rob has watched very little Simpsons, Ruairi thought it would be great to hear his thoughts on a politically focused episode of the long running cartoon.  Season nine, episode 22: Trash of the Titans. Rob & Ruairi reflect on The Simpsons as a weighty example of American soft power. The episode ricochets around topics from the beloved TV show's stealth libertarianism, Generation X, David Dinkins, Hillary Clinton, VH1's Behind The Music, why a group of Ivy League writers feel the need to ridicule the Kennedys, and so much more.  We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy this merry episode.
