Filled with endlessly quotable moments, pitch-perfect vocal performances, and expertly incisive comedy, Matt Groening's brainchild may arguably be the single greatest television show ever made, and easily one of the most important artistic works of all time. We're joined by four cromulent guests, improviser Dan Oster (MadTV, "A Podcast, But Evil"), comedian / musician Dylan Ris (www.lostmoonradio.com, www.themoonunits.com), comedian Rich Baker, and singer Sophie Gonzalez (also www.themoonunits.com).
