  • Angry Dad: The Movie
    Feb 3 2023

    Irvin & Nacho return to the mics to review the sequel to Bart's Angry Dad comic. Is this episode better than I Am Furious (Yellow)? We discuss this question as well as Jay Leno, classic animation, Vanderpump Rules, Catwoman, & Love Island.

    Note: This episode was recorded a while ago, so the Kickstarter campaign for Nacho's comic has already ended. But you can still buy Return of the Fleas at gracklestudio.com/shop!

  • I Am Furious (Yellow)
    Jul 27 2022


    Nacho is making a comic book so he & Irvin review the episode where Bart makes a comic book based on Homer. It's a comics-heavy episode & a 2000s reference-heavy episode, & we also get into discussions of early Flash cartoons, Broom Hilda, & the Quiznos spongmonkey mascots.
