Adam and Nate rope comedian and podcaster Dave Shumka (Stop Podcasting Yourself) into watching A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) alongside its Simpsons musical parody in “A Streetcar Named Marge” (S4E2). Does Elia Kazan’s actor’s showcase hold up on its 75th anniversary?

Also in this episode:

• Stuntcasting: Which Springfieldian should play Stanley, Blanche, Stella, and Paperboy Steve?

• Marlon Brando’s sexy, scary, marble-mouthed performance

• Breaking down that “Stella!” moment that launched a thousand parodies

• Should “Oh, Streetcar!” become a real musical? 

Plus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further reading

Next time, Adam and Nate celebrate spooky season with The Fly (1958) and "Treehouse of Horror VIII" (S9E4).
