Springfield Googolplex – The movie podcast for Simpsons fans.
Adam and Nate explore Jerry Lewis’s The Nutty Professor (1963), which helped inspire the voice and look of Professor Frink on The Simpsons, mm-hey. It’s a colorful, cartoony comedy filled with inventive filmmaking and Rat-Pack swagger. But watching this retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, we can’t help but talk about Lewis’s real-life duality, too.
