Bart switches aptitude tests with Martin Prince and is promptly identified as Springfield’s newest genius. Andrew and Thom revisit “Bart the Genius,” comparing what they noticed as eight-year-olds with what stands out now as middle-aged dads—from standardized testing and schoolyard social hierarchies to cursive writing, morning routines, and the hazards of scientific inaccuracy. Along the way, they explore Bart’s brief life among the gifted, Martin’s complicated role as both victim and tattletale, and the surprising warmth of Bart and Homer’s father-son bond.
