In entertainment news that I'm not sure anyone was expecting in 2025, The Simpsons is headed back to theaters. After years of talk about a sequel, and Matt Groening explaining that the last attempt nearly killed the team, the upcoming movie has a poster and a release date. As a long-time fan of the franchise who recently enjoyed the show's return to the 2025 TV schedule, I'll admit I have mixed feelings about this movie.
CinemaBlend gave The Simpsons Movie a favorable review back in the day, and the team here isn't alone. In fact, many critics and audiences were high on the movie in a way I wasn't, despite being a superfan of the franchise from age 7 on. Now, almost two decades later, I feel the same way, and I can't help but feel the need to speak out about my concern this time.
