    #26 - The Simpsons Game Part I

    Can the Simpsons game that knows it's a Simpsons game capture the essence of The Simpsons? The Carvallo Boys look to answer that question as they tackle part one of the most self-referential and metatextual game to date—2007's The Simpsons Game! Plus, we take a look at the landscape of The Simpsons from 2003 through 2007—a period that brought with it ambitious swings and some truly rough episodes. -Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ Skreeonk!

    #24 - The Simpsons Hit & Run Part II

    The Carvallo Boys have reached the end of their journey with one of the most iconic Simpsons Games to date. Does it live up to the hype? Would the game have been as well received if it was named The Simpsons: Flaming Tires or one of the other 204 names found in the developers files? Should the Simpson family sedan be brat? And what do Mike Wazowski, James Cameron's Dark Angel, and Poochie have in common? The boys tackle these questions, the game's legacy, leaks galore, and all the good (and some bad!) of the latter half of this game before giving their final thoughts on The Simpsons Hit & Run! -Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ Skreeonk!

    #23 - The Simpsons: Hit & Run Part I

    The Carvallo Boys have finally arrived at the game that inspired this podcast, the game that most Simpsons fans point to as the pinnacle of Simpsons gaming, and the game that dared to ask the question: "What if we put The Simpsons in Grand Theft Auto?" In the first of this two part series, we're discussing some of the production details around of The Simpsons: Hit & Run along with a brief history of the series the game emulates, Grand Theft Auto. Episode discussed: “Moe Baby Blues" Season 14, Episode 22"My Mother the Carjacker" Season 15, Episode 2-Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ Skreeonk!

    Bonus Episode: The Simpsons x Fortnite (with Doug Fink, Hamish Steele, and Tyler Watson!)

    Homer's used a Zero Point energy shard to power his television remote, and now all of Springfield has transformed into a battle royale map? The Carvallo Boys don't know what much of that means, so we called in some veritable Fortnite pros from Glitterjaw Island to help break down the wildly popular Simpsons x Fortnite miniseason! We squaded up with Doug, Hamish, and Tyler to discuss the incredible amount of detail that went into this delightful collab. Plus, we discussed our thoughts on live service games, our disappointment and frustration with an upcoming collaboration, and why the "Stupid Sexy Flanders" emote might be the greatest addition to Fortnite ever.

    #20 - The Simpsons Game That Almost Was

    In late 2020, Dreamcast preservationists discovered files for an unreleased Simpsons tech demo called "Simpsons Bug Squad." We talk about what exactly this tech demo is, the thrilling early moments of it's discovery, and just how important fans are in preserving video game history. Plus...we skipped over quite a few seasons as we moved from "The Simpsons: Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror" to "The Simpsons Wrestling." So we thought what better time to talk about those seasons that ushered in the end of "The Golden Age!"
