Looking forward to 2024, the series has presented a future filled with intriguing and sometimes dystopian possibilities. Season 23, Episode 17 hinted at an AI Robot Takeover when Homer lost his job to robots at the nuclear power plant, reflecting concerns about automation in the workforce. Virtual Reality food, explored in Season 11, Episode 17, showcased Homer and Marge experiencing a world where eating virtual fudge through a straw connected to a VR headset is the norm.

Hover cars, a staple of futuristic visions, were hinted at in Season 16, Episode 15, as Bart and Lisa marvelled at flying cars of the future. Hologram Technology, mentioned in Season 34, Episode 9, suggests that we might witness significant growth in this area in the real world this year.

The series also delves into darker predictions, including AI going rogue, as seen in the 1994 episode ‘Itchy and Scratchy Land,’ where animatronic robots develop a mind of their own. World War 3 and a Zombie Apocalypse, depicted in a special Tracey Olman Show episode and Season 21, Episode 4, respectively, remind viewers that The Simpsons’ foresight extends beyond the mundane into the realm of global crises and fantastical scenarios.

As we navigate the real-world implications of these predictions, the enduring legacy of The Simpsons as an unintentional oracle remains a topic of fascination and speculation.

Are you ready for 2024?

Netflix has delighted fans of the hit series Money Heist with the arrival of its much-anticipated spin-off prequel, ‘Money Heist Berlin.’ Originally announced in 2021, the series has quickly gained popularity as viewers immerse themselves in the backstory of the enigmatic character Berlin, once again masterfully portrayed by Pedro Alonso.

‘Money Heist Berlin’ takes audiences on a thrilling journey as the complex character orchestrates a grand heist in Paris before the events depicted in the original Money Heist series. Creator Álex Pina promises a captivating experience, describing the series as a trip through Berlin’s ‘Golden Age,’ filled with tension, travel, romance, and humour.

Despite the overall positive reception, a notable point of discussion on social media revolves around the change in the English voice actor for Berlin. Some fans have expressed disappointment, noting that the new English-dubbed voice doesn’t match the one from Money Heist, adding an unexpected layer to the viewing experience.

Nevertheless, the spin-off continues to captivate audiences, offering a deeper understanding of the beloved character’s history and the events that led to the iconic heists of the original series.
