Simpsley
A Simpsons noir? We're in.
Directed by Debbie Bruce Mahan
Produced by 20th Television Animation, Gracie Films
A playful noir pastiche that reimagines The Simpsons as morally compromised con-artists in a stylized Italian setting, balancing comedic irreverence with genre-savvy intrigue.
When penniless con-artist Marge Bouvier is sent to Italy to convince wealthy sap Seymour Skinner to come home, she’s tempted by the trappings of his affluent lifestyle. But there’s a big fat fly in the ointment: Skinner’s clingy, dim-witted mooch of a houseguest, Homer Simpsley. Lies, lust and Italian lira are abound.
