The Dollop #310: Levittown – I always enjoy when The Dollop makes fun of racists, and Levittown was already a creepy story what with being the first suburb and all, so I knew I’d be interested in this one. And I was right to be so! The Dollop is back in great form with the last couple of episodes and I look forward to more.

Talking Simpsons: Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1 – I have to admit I’m one of those weirdos who thinks Who Shot Mr. Burns Parts 1 and 2 are great episodes, but not the best ever. But this episode really gave me more appreciation of the artistry behind both the writing and animation of this episode, and now I’m really excited to hear what the guys have to say about Part 2.

Citations Needed: The Media’s Grim Addition to Perseverance Porn – I knew I was going to love this episode just seeing the title because perseverance porn/bootstrap bootlicking drives me UP. THE. WALL. As the hosts say, these are the kind of stories that should make us question what our society has become, but instead, they are pushed as inspirational evidence that we can all do anything if we just try hard enough.
