Lauren Bok and Claire Sullivan are comedians from Melbourne, Australia. Claire has never seen The Simpsons. We're watching seasons 3 to 8, known as the Golden Era, to give Claire a proper cromulent education.
We watched Season 4 Episode 15: I Love Lisa! A Valentines Day romp where Ralph Wiggum choo choo chooses Lisa with disastrous consequences. Bok loves that chalky chalky love heart candy and still bites her nails, Claire was a nosepicker as a kid and loves Killer Pythons. Both took time to reflect on slash retraumatise themselves with childhood and teenage romantic situations. They gush over this heartfelt and heartbreaking episode.

Claire From Another Planet
We watched S04 E14: Brother From Another Planet! Homer and Bart get Big Brothers/Little Brothers, Lisa is obsessed with calling the Corey Hotline. Both talk first crushes: Bok's was Devon Sawa, and Claire had a crush on Jeremy Sumpter and used to kiss the DVD cover of Peter Pan, and Bok laughs about that for a full 10 seconds and stands by the decision not to edit it out. We drift into HacklessGate* territory in a spirited discussion on when the moon is not in the night sky. Who is right? technically both of us, but try telling us that. This episode was a bit meh, because Tom Cruise isn't in it.
*HacklessGate is a discussion in a previous episode in which Bok basically gaslights Claire into thinking Chief Wiggum said 'Hackless' instead of 'Hatless' and was fiercely corrected on social media.
Every day we try to do better.
Except today.

Bok's Choice
We listened to S04E13: Selma's Choice! There's like 3 different storylines going on here!! Selma wants a baby, Homer wants a sandwich, Aunt Gladys wants a bit of bloody peace and quiet! Claire thinks having cool teenage daughter would be nice, Bok tells a story about a heirloom that turned out to be not an heirloom at all, and both absolutely love Space Mountain. Fun Fact: Conan O'Brien came up with the name 'jub jub'!
