    As a fun fact, the first Simpsons movie aired in July 2007, after 18 seasons of the Simpsons.

    Last year was the 36th season, or 18 seasons later. July 2027 will be just after the 38th season.

    There are more episodes of The Simpsons between the two films than between the start of the show and the first film.

    I’ve only ever met one Simpsons fan - I’m always surprised to see it still going.

    Last movie was good maybe this one will be too.

      If you mean a fan of the currently airing Simpsons, then yes, but there are tons of early season Simpsons fans

        Oh I’m sure - I’ve just only met the one. Like I know people who have seen the show or the movie, but he is the only one who says “I like the Simpsons” when discussing shows.

      I forget which interview I heard it in, but as I recall people on the show have his number and every once in a while they’ll give him a call and he’ll drop in a nugget of wisdom.

      So even if he’s not officially listed, I bet he’s in there.

      But I do hope he’s in there officially.
