Marge & Homer: Talking "The Simpsons" w/ MIKE REISS

Talking 'Ship

LEGENDS only this week. We're talking America's longest-standing TV couple: Marge and Homer Simpson, with legendary producer, writer, and showrunner of the Simpsons, MIKE REISS. We discuss why he feels the show has been successful for so long, the "rules" behind writing a couple for 30+ seasons on the air, and what is at the core of their relationship despite Homer's MANY mistakes.

We kick off this episode with a discussion featuring guest co-host Mitch Lerner who discusses his love for the Simpsons and the role the show has played in his life. We discuss the trope of "forever married" couples on television that will never break up, how seriously we should take Marge and Homer, and his helpful barometer test of when he's being "a Homer" in relationships.
