    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This episode is based on the film "Stand By Me". Homer plays Wil Wheaton's part. And Moe is River Phoenix.
    • Goofs
      In the scenes that Homer is 12 years old, Waylon Smithers (the one we know and love, not the father) is a baby. But this makes no sense - Homer and Smithers went to high school together.
    • Quotes

      Mr. Burns: What are you doing in my corpse hatch?

      Chief Wiggum: Mr. Burns, you're under arrest for murder.

      Mr. Burns: Uh, did I say corpse hatch? I meant innocence tube.

    An episode that grew on me
    I wasn't keen on this episode first time around, but subsequent views have turned me around.

    Homer's childhood memory comes back to haunt him here, but even though it gets a little gruesome, the heart of the show is still in the right place.

    I enjoy this episode more each time.
