Bradbury 100 - Episode 60 - Ray Bradbury and The Simpsons!
Bradbury 100 - Celebrating the Life and Work of American Writer Ray BradburyShow Notes
A few weeks ago, there was a new episode of The Simpsons which was entirely based on the works of Ray Bradbury. "Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes" is not the first time Ray has been referenced by the show. In fact, the number of Bradbury allusions across all of The Simpsons (i.e. on TV, in comics, and in books) now totals: thirteen.
In this episode I detail them all!
Many of them are represented by audio clips. But there are a few gags which are purely visual, including the comic-book and book appearances, and so I'll present some of those on my website. Check out the show notes at: https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2024/12/ray-bradbury-and-simpsons.html
