I heartily endorse this event or product.

Ahoy,

everybody and welcome to talk to the audience where this is always death.

I am one of your host, the guy who's hoping they close out the Simpsons movie trilogy before I'm 70, Bob Mackie. And who is here with me today, as always? Already lined up to be first in the theater for it in 2027, Henry Gilbert. And yes, welcome to talk to the audience. This is our community podcast.

new movie.

The joke was on the chalkboard, the first episode after the movie, was I won't wait 20 years to make another movie.
