We watched S04 E14: Brother From Another Planet! Homer and Bart get Big Brothers/Little Brothers, Lisa is obsessed with calling the Corey Hotline. Both talk first crushes: Bok's was Devon Sawa, and Claire had a crush on Jeremy Sumpter and used to kiss the DVD cover of Peter Pan, and Bok laughs about that for a full 10 seconds and stands by the decision not to edit it out. We drift into HacklessGate* territory in a spirited discussion on when the moon is not in the night sky. Who is right? technically both of us, but try telling us that. This episode was a bit meh, because Tom Cruise isn't in it. *HacklessGate is a discussion in a previous episode in which Bok basically gaslights Claire into thinking Chief Wiggum said 'Hackless' instead of 'Hatless' and was fiercely corrected on social media.  Every day we try to do better.  Except today.

Claire From Another Planet

We listened to S04E13: Selma's Choice! There's like 3 different storylines going on here!! Selma wants a baby, Homer wants a sandwich, Aunt Gladys wants a bit of bloody peace and quiet! Claire thinks having cool teenage daughter would be nice, Bok tells a story about a heirloom that turned out to be not an heirloom at all, and both absolutely love Space Mountain. Fun Fact: Conan O'Brien came up with the name 'jub jub'!

Bok's Choice

Hi all On our hiatus we got suspended from our host who ended their free plan scheme. While we sort out bringing our back catalogue back to the people, we'll be back real soon. Consider this space under construction! love you, bok and claire Elementary Springfield

Elementary Springfield's new home

We watched Season 4 Episode 12: Marge vs. The Monorail! It's FINALLY an episode Claire has ACTUALLY SEEN and boy does it HOLD UP. Turns out Hobart is the Springfield of Australia as they also have a controversial public transport fiasco, both kept those teen diaries with the little locks on 'em, and both gushed A LOT about this episode.

Claire vs. The Monorail

We watched Season 4 Episode 11: Homer's Triple Bypass! Homer has a heart attack, we meet Dr Nick Riviera for the first time. This was an excellent example of joke writing vs serious subject matter, Claire found this episode very stressful, Bok experiences technical difficulties right when making a poignant moment, both talk extensively about dentists (For real, trigger warning for mouth gore for the first 20 minutes. Oh yes, 20 big ones of deep dentist chat)

Homer's Triple Bokpass

We watched S04E10: Lisa's First Word! We see the origins of the Simpson family, Claire teaches Bok about toxoplasmosis, both tried to run away from home (vaguely) and also LOVE the olympics! A lot of the 80s references in this episode were lost on them, and Claire is shocked by the voice actress of Maggie.

Claire's First Word

We watched season 4 episode 9, Mr Plow! This episode lives up to it's hype as Homer and Barney face off in a plowing battle. Claire bought a car with the power of her pussy, Bok learns more about plows, cows, leeches and maggots than she ever thought she would, both give this episode lots of kisses because its SO GOOD.

Mr Bok

We watched Season 3, Episode 8: New Kid On The Block! Bart has a crush on the girl next door and Homer tries to have all he can eat! This is a Horny Simpsons episode, and we're here for it. Bok gives us a run down of her inner thoughts through song, Claire wants to put all her gal pals in her front yard before dates, both agree Laura Power is the Trent Lane of the Simpsons. Did you have a crush on Laura? TELL US!

New Claire On The Block

We watched S04 E07: Marge Gets A Job! Marge goes to work (in excellent fashion choices) at the powerplant and Burns gets the hots for her. Bok can find her water main, can you? Claire's resume skills are lacking and both had very accident prone dads (warning: episode contains DIY dad gore). P.S Say hi, tell us your dad stories!

Bok Gets A Job

We watched Season 4 Episode 6: The Itchy and Scratchy Movie! Bok confesses Itchy and Scratchy's use in the Simpsons leaves her a little cold/meh. Claire luuuuves hats and had a maths teacher that is famous, sortof?? Both did not like how this episode ended.

The Bokky and Clairey Movie

We watched Season 4 Episode 5: Halloween Special III (Also known as Treehouse of Horror) this ep like most of 2020, is fairly disappointing. Bok in Melbourne's COVID lockdown has finally learnt how to mulch and has perfected wearing a mask, Claire's back in tassie living large and her mum's mates can't tell a bloody story to save their lives. Both agree that horror fans are snobs.

Clairehouse of Bokkor III

We watched Season 4 Episode 4: Lisa The Beauty Queen! Lisa enters the Little Miss Springfield pageant. Everyone likes rollerskates including Claire in lockdown but Bok is still a little shy, this episode was bloody great, they both agree they aren't ugly.

Bok The Beauty Queen

We watched Season 4 Episode 3: Homer The Heretic! Homer stops going to church, Bok learns all about fun kooky churchy stuff from Claire, Claire finally learns about the 'toasty cinnamon bun' reference, both do a highly accurate impression of Rough Trade Facebook Groups. *sorry about the audio, it was our first remote recording!*

Claire The Heretic

We watched Season 4 Episode 2: A Streetcar Named Marge! Ahh, amateur theatre, is there anything worse? Claire has never had a one-liner or background role because she is such a good actress, Bok knows nothing about Ayn Rand, both agree Flanders would be pretty good in the sack. Theme music by BJ Morriszonkle (bjmorriszonkle.bandcamp.com/)

Streetcar Named Bok

We're back with Season 4 Episode 1: Kamp Krusty! Bok and Claire both LOVE camps, scouts, guides, all of it, the whole thing. Are you that surprised? New theme music by BJ Morriszonkle (https://morriszonkle.blog/)

Kamp Klaire

Lauren Bok and Claire Sullivan are comedians from Melbourne, Australia. Claire has never seen The Simpsons. We're watching seasons 3 to 8, known as the Golden Era, to give Claire a proper cromulent education.
