I've never reviewed a Simpsons episode in 25 years, so why would I start now? Well, I just watched this one on demand with my daughter (age 26), who has pretty much lived with this show her entire life. It's the one show we can both roar at in unison, and despite the constant bashing of long-time fans, THE SIMPSONS still gets it done in my estimation.
Movie pirating is never gonna' be kept in check, and the writer of this episode (J. Stewart Burns) thought it would be worthy of lampooning any attempts to. He succeeded on all levels. Getting the Apatow gang together (Judd, Rogen, Rudd & Mann) along with quick shot bursts by Rob Halford and Channing Tatum was a stroke of genius. I especially liked the jokes about Apatow's films being too long, and Rogen's characteristic endless stoner cackle.
Keep 'em coming.
