Frequent collaborators Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, and Judd Apatow will be part of The Simpsons‘ “Steal This Episode” episode on Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT on Fox. Also lending their voices to the special Hollywood-themed episode are Channing Tatum, Will Arnett, and Rob Halford from Judas Priest.
“Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen have been looking for a project to do together for a long time. So we were happy to finally give them this opportunity,” said The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman. “Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, and Rob Halford never wanted to work together, so please don’t tell them they’re in the same episode.”
The Plot:
In “Steal this Episode,” Homer (Dan Castellaneta) is banned from the Springfield movie theaters, so Bart (Nancy Cartwright) teaches him how to download movies illegally. Homer creates a backyard movie theater where he shows his friends pirated movies for free. But Marge (Julie Kavner) feels guilty for watching illegally downloaded movies, and in trying to pay the film studios back for “stealing with her eyes,” she accidentally tips off the FBI to Homer’s “Cinema Pirate-diso.”
The Simpsons must go on the run to escape the relentless justice of the head FBI anti-piracy agent (Arnett), who is determined to bring Homer to justice at any cost.
