The recent Simpsons episode was 90s nostalgia joy! Betsy and I were both cracking up at all the 90s references. Homer and the other guys were first in a Motown “Boyz II Men”-esque band and then “Sadgasm” (Nirvana meets Bush). When they leaned down and Bitter Sweet Symphony came on, we died.
Well, I guess I could just list every reference in the entire episode and type “haha” a bunch of times but I guess I’ll just call it “Closing Time.”
