The Simpsons - since its first episode way back in 1989, it's entertained millions, maybe even billions around the world. It's more than just a show, it's almost a way of life. Hardcore fans, like hosts Nick Konarowski and Shane Lynch, know all the episodes, lines and characters. But is it really as good as we remember it? Or is the powerful drug of nostalgia washing over us, making it seem better than it was? Nick and Shane aim to find out, by going back to the beginning. They start with a rating based on memories and following a real-time watch-through, they discuss if it was better or worse than they recall. Plus, they talk about a bunch of other stuff in life @simpsons_EBE New Episodes Every FRIDAY! Donate> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/simpsonsEBE
