Help us, Dr. Zaius! This week we're revisiting the classic "A Fish Called Selma" with former Simpsons writer/showrunner, Josh Weinstein.
We get first-hand insights into how the episode came together; the writing process of "Stop The Planet Of The Apes, I Want To Get Off!", Phil Hartman's live-action Troy McClure series, working with Jeff Goldblum and so much more.
Plus we discuss whether Josh regrets leaving The Simpsons, how he and Bill Oakley joined the writing staff, as well as why they made "The Principal and the Pauper". A really fun show!
