I Got WESTWORLD PTSD When THE SIMPSONS Visited a Robotic Cowboy Town
I had a violent Westworld flashback whilst watching the "Every Simpsons Ever" marathon currently happening on FXX! It was the weirdest feeling ever. I was watching the episode "Kidney Trouble," where grandpa has a "full on Kidney blowout" after Homer refuses to let him use the bathroom when he needs to, and all of the sudden there are cowboy robots and prostitutes!
I kid you not as soon as I saw them my mind said, "Doesn't look like anything to me," and I legitimately wondered if Anthony Hopkins created me. Once I recovered I couldn't help but laugh imagining a Westworld scenario in The Simpsons universe...
Can you imagine this stuff happening in the HBO series?
This one in particular hit pretty close to home...
Before you go on one of those "Simpsons did it first" rants, don't forget Westworld has been a thing since the early '70s, although I doubt any of this episode was inspired by it. It just made me laugh how the show in a short time has managed to ruin both cowboys and robots for me!
