#7 - Video Game Stooges

An obscure Stooges video game sound bite opens the show. Anthony gives us a cliff notes version of Stooges history which includes a theory about pie-induced strokes. We discuss the obvious impact of The Three Stooges on the writers of The Simpsons and the creation of some characters (i.e. Homer). We reminisce on how we each of us came to know the legendary slapstick group. 

The Simpsons + Video Game discussion begins by distinguishing between actual real-life video games based on The Simpsons (Road Rage, Hit and Run, etc.) and video games that exist WITHIN The Simpsons (BoneStorm, Hockey Dad, Escape From Grandma's House, etc). We wrap up the show by fondly remembering The Simpsons side-scrolling beat 'em up that took arcades by storm in the early 90's.
