The Simpsons Season 36 Just Parodied A Movie That Hasn’t Even Come Out Yet

The Simpsons S36's oddest reference arrived early.

Warning: This article contains minor spoilers for The Simpsons season 36, episode 4, “Shoddy Heat," and Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder ClubWhile The Simpsons frequently parodies TV shows and movies, one season 36 episode managed the considerable achievement of spoofing a movie that hasn’t even been released yet. The Simpsons has always loved to parody famous movies.

As such, it was something of a surprise when season 36, episode 4, “Shoddy Heat,” proved to be another parody of another murder mystery sub-genre. This episode spoofed the neo-noir revival of the ‘80s with a story where Grampa searches through ‘80s Springfield for his missing partner. This episode revealed that Grampa was a private investigator during the decade, and he became embroiled in a twisty plot involving Agnes Skinner and Mr. Burns.
