Anderson You Only Move Twice| director = Mike B. AndersonAdditions to ListGenBot list 'SimpsonsCulturalS08': A Milhouse DividedThe episode title is a play on Matthew 12:25. Bart After DarkBelle may possibly be named after Belle Watling, the owner of the burlesque house in Gone with the Wind.When Homer stops the destruction of the burlesque house, Reverend Lovejoy says "This house is a very, very, very fine house", a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young song "Our House".The oil spill depicted in this episode is most likely a reference to the Exxon Valdez oil spill.Mayor Quimby and the Quimby family, throughout Simpsons history, have been made to resemble JFK and the Kennedy family. Numerous little allusions to the Kennedy family have appeared throughout the series and in this particular episode, Mayor Quimby's wife is seen wearing a dress similar to one of Jackie Kennedy's dresses. Brother from Another SeriesThe title is not only a pun on the movie title The Brother from Another Planet (The Simpsons has also spoofed this title with the episode title "Brother from the Same Planet"), but also a reference to the fact that guest stars Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce also play bickering and childishly competitive brothers on the sitcom Frasier. A title card just before the start of the second act explicitly brings up this connection.Cecil's guess of "Maris?" (see quotes) is a reference to Niles' never-seen wife on Frasier. According to the season 8 DVD commentary, writers for this episode ran the script by NBC executives and writers for Frasier. The only thing they took exception to was a brief scene showing a character named "Maris". Their argument was, "We don't show Maris." To which Kelsey Grammer repeats, "You can never show Maris."Krusty performs a 'prison special' at Springfield Penitentiary dressed in black: I slugged some jerk in Tahoe/They gave my one-to-three/My high-priced lawyer sprung me on a technicality — a reference to Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash.Bob concedes that the Cappadocians are the only civilization in history that has ever considered chief hydrological engineer a calling.Bart's suggestion to look in the "haunted mine" for evidence is a reference to Scooby-Doo, as is the later comedy chase sequence in the dam.At one point Bob punches through a window in order to grab a door handle, growling incoherently in the style of Frankenstein's monster. Burns, Baby BurnsThe song playing over the street party scene is Journey's "Any Way You Want It". It featured on the soundtrack to Caddyshack, a film which starred guest star Rodney Dangerfield. The street party scene is very similar to the golf course party scene in Caddyshack in which both scenes play "Any Way You Want It".Larry's line "I tell ya, I get no regard. No regard at all. No esteem neither." is a reference to Dangerfield's famous catchphrase, "I don't get no respect."The ending sequence, with Homer and Larry locked up in the empty movie theater, parodies the ending of the movie Jimmy Hollywood, starring Joe Pesci. The 'possible outcome', in which Homer dies in a hail of bullets, was also fantasized by Pesci's character. Both pairs (Homer and Larry, and Pesci and his friend Christian Slater) eventually surrender to police.Homer and Larry run into a costume shop which features an Environmental Protective Suit holding a guitar much like Marty McFly as "Darth Vader" in Back to the Future. After Homer and Larry go into the costume shop, the shop owner on his way to the bathroom passes a Darth Vader helmet. El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)There are many similarities in the appearance of the dog guide to the coyote from Carlos Castaneda's "Teachings of Don Juan" - wherein after Carlos ingests peyote he plays in the desert with a wild coyote which is (or isn't?) an hallucination.There are also allusions in the episode to the works of Richard Bach, whose works often focus on the concept of "soulmates" and typically involve quests led by spirit guides. At the end of the episode, the Sea Captain, refers directly to Bach's most famous book, by exclaiming, "Arr! Jonathan Livingston Seagull!"When Homer begins to hallucinate Jasper says "Goo goo gajoob?" which is a line from The Beatles song I Am The Walrus.During Homer's hallucination, Ned Flanders' non-sensical talk includes the words "Gabba Gabba Hey" which is a reference to The Ramones. Homer vs. The Eighteenth AmendmentThe episode parodies the film The Untouchables, with the character of Rex Banner based on Eliot Ness (played by Kevin Costner in the film).In addition to prohibition, the episode features other references to life in the 1920s United States.The shot of the diner is a spoof of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks painting. Homer's EnemyFrank Grimes' way of waddling around the plant spoofs the scene from the Charlie Chaplin film Modern Times when Chaplin's character has a nervous breakdown from being overworked and begins waddling around the factory, tightening anything that looks like a loose nut with his wrenches. The only difference is that Chaplin's character didn't die in an electrocution that Frank Grimes did. Hurricane NeddyIt's a Wonderful Life – as in the episode "When Flanders Failed", Homer leads the town to aid Flanders in his darkest hour, though on this occasion the results are far worse.The Critic – Jay Sherman makes a cameo appearance in the mental hospital scenes. The Simpsons writers joked that this is what really happened to the character after the series was cancelled. Critic fans, however, don't consider this appearance part of the series' canon.Dick Tracy and Pruneface – Ned's "Prune Tracy" remark is a pun on the comic strip detective. It's also an allusion to an off-color joke. Given the progression, the next name would be Dick Face, had Dr. Foster not stopped him.Job – The plot of the episode is very similar to that of the Book of Job in the Bible.One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest – Several scenes at Calmwood Mental Hospital are taken from the 1975 movie.Swanson TV dinners – The Juvenile Aggression Study film is sponsored by Swanson Angry Man Dinners, a play on Swanson Hungry Man Dinners.The "futuristic text" on the Mr. Sparkle box is katakana, a Japanese syllable-based alphabet used for foreign loan words. The box's main caption, ミスタースパーコル, transliterates as Misutā Supākoru, "Mister Sparkle" in Japanese syllables. The words in the speech bubble, however, are ハワークリーン!, which transliterates as Hawā kurīn!, or "Hower clean!". This is an animation error as it should say パワークリーン! (the first syllable having a handakuten accent), which translitarates as Pawā kurīn!, or "Power clean!".The Japanese businessman in the Mr. Sparkle corporate video is bathing in a sentō, a communal bath. He tells the watching "American investor" that he (the investor) is interested in distributing Mr. Sparkle in his "home prefecture" referring to the jurisdictional divisions of Japan, as opposed to "home State".In the zoo, one of the signs says "Habitat for Huge Manetees", a spoof of Habitat for Humanity International.The title of this episode is based on At the Mountains of Madness, a novella written by H.P. Lovecraft.Businesses in the port include "It's a Wonderful Knife" (parodying the movie It's a Wonderful Life) and Planet Hype (parodying the real-life celebrity-owned restaurant Planet Hollywood).Smithers queueing in Dr. Nick Riviera's surgery, standing and looking distinctly embarrassed, is a reference to a persistent urban legend surrounding a celebrity (most commonly Richard Gere) reporting to an emergency room after having inserted a live gerbil into his own rectum. The reason Lisa choses to be a babysitter is because she reads 2 "Babysitter Twins" books an obvious spoof of the Ann M. Martin series The Babysitters Club==Quotes==Ned: Homer, I've got a Fozzie of a bear of a problem. Y'know, Maude and her mother were visiting Tyre and Sidan, the twin cities of the Holy Land. They must've kneeled in the wrong place and prayed to the wrong God, because, well, they're being held prisoner by militants of some sort.Homer: Militants, huh? Well, if I were you, I'd kick their asses.Ned: Well, any hoodily-doodle, the embassy says it's just a routine hostage-taking, but I have to drive to Capital City, fill out some forms to get 'em out. Could you possibly watch the kids tonight?Homer: Uh, gee, I'd reallly love to want to help you, Flanders, but...Uh, Marge was taken prisoner in the...Holy Land and uh...Lisa: I'll do it! I'll babysit!Ned: Well, I don't know, Lisa. You're awfully young, and the boys can be a handful. Todd's been pinching everyone lately.Lisa: But I'm smart and responsible, and my parents will be right next door!Ned: Well, what do you say, Homer? Can Lisa babysit my kids?Lisa: Please, Please, Please!Homer: Eh, I'll have to ask her.(while playing a board game with no dice, a moth comes out of the box)Rod and Todd: A moth! A moth! A moth! Aaaahh!Lisa: Calm down! A moth's no more harmful than a lad
