    Yep, the movie was well past the peak. I used to watch The Simpsons every day for years, but I still haven’t seen the movie because I keep forgetting it exists.

    Who Shot Mr Burns was a major cultural event.

      Yeah, that is correct. As someone who grew up during peak Simpsons, they were most relevant up until the end of the 90’s. Maybe 01-02 tops, but that was definitely when it faded from most people’s minds. I did end up seeing the movie and even went to the theaters for it just because. It was odd because everyone loved the Simsons, but everyone was just there because everyone was curious about what they were going to do. It was meh and quickly forgotten, lol. I can’t even imagine who this new movie is targeting.
