The Simpsons: The DeBarted (2008)
Season 19, Episode 13
9/10
Near Perfect Spoof
7 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen The Departed. I loved it. Then I heard The Simpsons were going to have their way with it. Now in the past I've loved what they have done with bits from other movies and using them in the show. And earlier this season they took Eternal Sunshine and turned that into something magical. But I would be the first to tell you that there is no way in this day in age that The Simpsons could strike gold with spoofs twice in a season, not anymore. But my god, they did it.

It is hard to take a movie that is over 2.5 hours and transform it into 20 minutes of show, but they added all the classic moments from the movie except the final shock of Leo getting it in the head and in return Damon gets it too. If Donny and Bart got attacked some how in the end this would have been amazing. But the jokes the story, everything was solid. The subplot with Homer and the new car was decent, but not great. It still had great laughs with the climate controls battling each other. I also enjoyed how Homer gets his old car back.

Solid voice talent, sound, story, finale. 9/10 If only next week's will be as good.
