- Leisure
Two longtime friends and Simpsons fans challenge themselves to play every single Simpsons video game ever made. New episodes the final Wednesday of every month! (Unless we release them sooner!)

#4 - Bart vs. the World
Four games. One year. Was 1991 the year of gaming for Bart Simpson? It sure feels that way.
The Carvallo Boys are jumping in to the next entry in the NES pantheon of Simpsons games: Bart Vs. the World. And it's...surprisingly fun! (Despite the often insensitive cultural references).
Plus, we talk 2024 gaming layoffs and the history of the wildly mismanaged Acclaim Entertainment.

#3 - Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly
Ah, sweet, sweet nostalgia. It's, as they say, a powerful thing. And the Lee Carvallo Boys have an immense amount of nostalgia for the Gameboy. Listen in as we discuss a very brief history of the Gameboy and ask if our nostalgia for the console can help us appreciate the first portable Simpsons tie-in game - Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly.

#2 - Bart vs. the Space Mutants
The early history of console gaming can be...hit or miss, by modern standards. But surely America's bad boy, Bart Simpson, must be a hit...right?
Join us as we blow our NES cartridges and play the second game in the Simpsons gaming pantheon - 1991’s Bart Vs. The Space Mutants, originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System!

#1 - The Simpsons Arcade Game
The year is 1991. You and your buddies have a pocket full of quarters, a free afternoon, and a wicked case of rapid onset Simpsons Fever, brought about by Bart Mania.
What do you do?
You time travel, of course, to 2024, and listen to two thirty-somethings discuss a brief history of the rise and fall of arcades, moral panic over pinball, and of course, The Simpsons Arcade Game!

#0 - Pod Be Not Proud: A Simpsons Gaming Podcast Primer
It's the inaugural episode of Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge: A Simpsons Gaming Podcast! Derek and Tommy break down what the hell "Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge" is, their history with The Simpsons and the tie-in video games, and proceed to, scientifically, rank the games based on what they know - virtually nothing!
