So perhaps it shouldn’t come as too big of a shock that a fan Twitter account has been sleuthing out similarities between the witty cartoon and every big movie, pretty much. In popular tweets posted from handle @SimpsonsFilms, screen grabs of scenes from _The Simpsons_ over its illustrious 28 seasons (and counting) are paired with the blockbuster title they ultimately appear to foreshadow, from [_La La Land_](http://time.com/4727690/emma-stone-prom-la-la-land/) to _Suicide Squad_ and everything in between. (There are some apt TV show comparisons thrown in, too, for good measure, like recent hits [_The Handmaid’s Tale_](http://time.com/4759957/handmaids-tale-book-vs-show-differences/) and[ _13 Reasons Why_](http://time.com/4769997/netflix-13-reasons-why-second-season/)_,_ replete with tape player.) If this kind of uncanny future-predicting power doesn’t conclusively convince you that the _Simpsons_ creators have a whole other level of consciousness, then nothing will. > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/862603942076628993) > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/861933523808038913) > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/861205229144088577) > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/863044097384353794) > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/863719543016837121) > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/860856174463262720) > [](https://twitter.com/simpsonsfilms/status/854799516364546048) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4778961/simpsons-predictions-movies/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4778961/simpsons-predictions-movies/"},"headline":"The Internet Found Definitive Proof That the Simpsons Probably Predicted Every Big Movie","datePublished":"2017-05-15T14:46:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:38.181Z","description":"A Twitter account matches Simpsons scenes to the movies they parallel in an uncanny showcase of the show's prescience.","url":"https://time.com/4778961/simpsons-predictions-movies/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4778961/simpsons-predictions-movies/","name":"The Internet Found Definitive Proof That the Simpsons Probably Predicted Every Big Movie"}}]}] ```
