Judd Apatow's Simpsons episode will feature Judd Apatow people
As reported last year, The Simpsons picked up a rejected spec script written 22 years ago by a young Judd Apatow, after realizing that Judd Apatow is famous now. And since one can’t make an Apatow script without Apatow people, And now, Entertainment Weekly reports that Apatow will be appearing in another episode, one that will also feature the voice talents of Apatow’s on-and-off-screen collaborator Leslie Mann, plus Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen—all of whom appear in a plot that revolves around Homer screening illegally downloaded movies in his backyard, including a parody of This Is 40. In other words, there is next to no way this script actually bears much resemblance to the one Apatow wrote in 1993, when the concepts of illegally downloading movies and films in which Judd Apatow’s pals just sort of hang out were but a pipe dream.
