Exploration is ill-advised.
I had some very weird ideas about A Streetcar Named Desire thanks to that episode. Though it's kinda funny that Homer ends up being the only one who actually follows the story and intended tone. Maybe there's a joke in there that making a jolly musical out of that play in particular is such a ridiculous idea that Homer's own spacey idiocy cancels it out.

The director is also an interesting one-off, he has the whole prima donna stereotype that's especially funny given the material he's working with, but he actually does a good job at it, gets good performances out of his actors especially considering he's working with not only amateurs but Springfield's quirks, and makes an effort to accommodate Marge with the daycare centre. (even if it's got its own problems)

Yeah it's top tier and a good example of the show challenging the audience. When I watched it I didn't know anything about A Streetcar Named Desire but it's still fun and gets better when you realize the extra layer of absurdity of turning a tragedy into an upbeat musical that ends with Blanche celebrating the kindness of strangers. And I didn't know what the word "roundelay" meant but now I want to look it up.

The director is a fantastic character, he does his job and isn't a monster but still does jerk moves like taking Otto's role minutes before curtain.

The rondelet and the roundelay are two similar types of poem.

Apparently it only existed because they couldn't get the rights to the stage play, but no-one had the rights to a musical *taps head*.

hmm he could have thrown Alf pogs, the Lincoln penny that was on fire in the Itchy & Scratchy space needle cartoon, the quarter the bar guys threw at Homer to make him dance, Scorpio could be throwing them at the laser pointed at Bond... we'll get this cracked don't you worry

Psalm 151 was given away at special in-store events or you could just use a hacked copy to get it.

I'm waiting for your Council of Nicaea joke, so I can post a Arian Hersey themed take on the Homer/Rashoman bit but about the nature of the Son.
