About this audiobook
Have you ever wondered how The Simpsons predicts the future? Then, The Simpsons Secret is the book for you.
The Simpsons has been predicting major events with scary accuracy for over three decades, from Donald Trump's presidency to Disney buying 20th Century Fox. People just can't seem to get enough and are eager to know what it's going to predict next. This book goes behind the scenes of this adored cartoon series, and the family we've grown to love. Between Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and the rest of the Simpsons family, the show has stolen our hearts, and also left us amazed at how often The Simpsons predicts the future!
So how do they do it? Is it a crystal ball? A fountain of knowledge? Have the writers gained the ability to travel through time? As shocking as it may seem, the answer is actually a little simpler than that. The cartoon crew is not in a secret society that can see the future, nor have they mastered the art of time travel.
In The Simpsons Secret, learn more about: how The Simpsons is able to predict so many major events; how the show writers and producers come up with these ideas; and so much more about your favorite old-school cartoon family.
