In the show’s 28th season, they experiment with the first full on two parter episode with ‘The Great Phatsby’, a spoof on all the different variations of The Great Gatsby in all its mediums. The episode itself isn’t anything special but it’s references are entertaining and it is the sort of thing the show should be trying so far into its run.
‘Fatzcarraldo’ has a smart premise and allows for a good dive into Homer’s backstory and some of the things that made him who he is. Not many laughs but a good character episode.
‘Pork and Burns’ isn’t a particularly stand out episode but bringing back Plopper/Spider-Pig back is a smart call back for fans of the movie and Homer’s relationship to him is always entertaining to see.
Overall, it was another solid season, not high on stand out episodes or real laughs, but entertaining nonetheless.
Rating = 3.5/5
