TRANSCRIPT HERE
Simpsons part 2 is here! For our second part of episode 12, special guest Nathan Phillips and Steph look at the two episodes Moaning Lisa (Season 1 episode 6) and Fear of Flying (Season 6 episode 11), the stereotypes of the Simpsons and how they evolved (or devolved), and how these episodes shaped our understanding of mental illness. Is Bart society?? Should Maggie be at a jazz club or should she be in bed?? Find out now!
Also this is actually what "Loewenstein" is from, and it is hilarious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POqV7gjuCiY
