After years on the small screen, the Simpsons finally made their theatrical debut with The Simpsons Movie! Originally released on July 27, 2007, it hoped to make the case that this was a movie and not just a long episode of the show. To help us figure out if they were successful, we asked Ari Lipshaw, co-host of Adapt or Perish and lifelong Simpsons fan, to join us!

The Simpsons Movie was directed by David Silverman from a screenplay by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Al Jean, Ian Maxtone-Graham, George Meyer, David Mirkin, Mike Reiss, Mike Scully, Matt Selman, John Swartzwelder, and Jon Vitti, and starred Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, and Albert Brooks.

Multiplex Time Machine is hosted by Jeremy Latour and Ian Averill.
