for the @theguardian.com, charles burnett & i spoke about “my brother’s wedding” (1983) and our years of creative partnership. the story is anchored by my discovery of never before seen images on set of MBW. to be charles’s personal archivist & film distributor is an everlasting honor.

My parents thought the Simpsons looked grotesque so they didn’t let me watch it and one afternoon my mom was like ok fine we can try and it happened to be this episode and I remember vividly getting to the point where Homer sets fire to his GED and my mom literally crying with laughter

From then on both mom and dad were fully on board and that must have been such whiplash for them to believe something was bad and then realize it was not just good but the single funniest thing they had ever seen

The thing is it probably would have worked with any episode from those days, the lemon tree one would be funny enough, but it being this one was so perfect it was like the first painting you see being Starry Night

Honestly even the still image is hilarious
