Alright, Simpson Stans! You won’t believe what’s been hiding under our noses since the second season of our beloved show, The Simpsons.
Decades into the show and it’s like we’ve barely scratched the surface of all the hidden treasures and Easter eggs The Simpsons has tucked away. And yes, it’s still managing to surprise us!
It’s no secret that The Simpsons has a knack for predicting the future. Ever wondered how they do it? Al Jean, one of the wizards behind the curtain, actually gave us a peek into their crystal ball tactics.
In an interview with NME, Jean spilled the beans: “One of our writers, the guy whose episode predicted Donald Trump as president, said it best, ‘If you write 700 episodes and you don’t predict anything, then you’re pretty bad. If you throw enough darts, you’re going to get some bullseyes’.”
Beyond their soothsaying skills, fans have unearthed another gem—a secret movie hidden right in the episodes of the show!
Get this: In a brain-busting reveal, a savvy fan shared on X this cool discovery that The Simpsons has been showing us a hidden movie about Rainier Wolfcastle as McBain. It’s pieced together across various episodes!
In a thread shared to X on July 8, the account @Criminalsimpsons said: “The Simpsons has a hidden adven0ture starring Rainier Wolfcastle as McBain. The scenes are scattered through three seasons but they form a coherent storyline.”
Shocked? So are we!
This cinematic Easter egg starts in the Season 2 episode ‘The Way We Was’ and wraps up in Season 4’s ‘Last Exit to Springfield’.
The discovery has sent fans into a frenzy, with many praising the ingenuity and calling the hidden McBain movie a ‘masterpiece’.
The buzz doesn’t stop there. Fans are even clamoring for a McBain spin-off or a dedicated movie. Can you imagine?
Someone said: “I’m honestly surprised this was never made into a spin off show lol.”
“The real question is why they never turned this into its own tv show or a one shot film,” wrote another.
“I would like to see this as a full feature film,” echoed a third Simpsons viewer.
While we’re discussing potential spin-offs, let’s not forget about the ongoing whispers of a sequel to 2007’s The Simpsons Movie.
The show’s creator Matt Groening teased back in 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con that a sequel is almost a certainty: “No doubt there will be another Simpsons movie one of these days,” he predicted. “I think Disney wants something for its money.”
Stay tuned, because something big might just be around the corner!
