[[Homer Simpson|Homer]], [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] see the newest ''Cosmic Wars'' film, ''The Gathering Shadow'', and the movie turns out to be less than what they expected, filled with boring senate meetings and racial stereotyping. At home, [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] suggests that Bart and Lisa write a letter to ''Cosmic Wars'' creator Randall Curtis. Two weeks later, they get a reply from Curtis, which completely ignores their criticism, having sent them Jim-Jam merchandise. This forces the Simpsons to go on a trip to {{W|California}}, where Homer and Marge go to wineries, and Bart and Lisa go to the Cosmic Wars Ranch, which was previously called {{W|Fresno, California|Fresno}}. Bart and Lisa visit Randall Curtis and tell him that his ''Cosmic Wars'' movies have lost their way. He does not like what they are saying until Lisa points out that better technology is no way to make the story better. Curtis agrees, and he decides to go back to his storytelling roots. (For inspiration he decides to go to the video store, and rides there on a tauntaun.)

Bart and Lisa rejoin Homer and Marge, who are both drunk from free samples of the wine (and are tossing Randall Curtis around like a football). Back in [[Springfield]], Homer and Marge go to Moe's Tavern and drink more wine. Moe opens a priceless bottle of Chateau Latour 1886 vintage wine, clearly unaware of its value, when he checks a wine guide like he should have done beforehand he breaks down crying and dry's his eyes with a lost shakespeare play.

Plot

Cosmic Wars: The Gathering Shadow premiered at the Aztec Theater and the Simpson family went to watch it. Many other Springfielders also turned up, in costume, to watch the movie. Otto turned up to the wrong ticket booth after waiting there for three weeks and ended up watching The Momentum of Things. The audience get bored of the film pretty quickly with some members falling asleep. After they left the studio, Comic Book Guy declared it the "Worst. Cosmic Wars. Ever."

Marge suggested that Bart and Lisa write a letter to Randall Curtis, the creator of Cosmic Wars, to complain about the film. However, they got a letter ignoring their complaints back along with a signed photo of Curtis. The Simpsons then head to Northern California to go to the Cosmic Wars Ranch to meet Curtis in person. Whilst Bart and Lisa go to meed Curtis, Homer and Marge went to the Lush Valley Winery. Bart and Lisa left the tour to go meet Curtis. Meanwhile, Marge and Homer got drunk. Bart and Lisa managed to convince Randall Curtis to go back to his roots with making his movies. Bart and Lisa left the ranch to find Homer and Marge drunk.

Homer and Marge bond over their drinking. Homer even invited Marge to drink with him at Moe's Tavern. The two of them start to go out wine drinking a lot more often, leading to Marge getting bad hangovers. Marge decides to give up drinking but to still have fun with Homer. They then make a visit to Oktoberfest. Marge got extremely drunk and Homer drove them home, even though he was also in no condition to drive. Homer then crashed the car and switched places with Marge to make it seem like she was the one driving. Homer then runs off and hides in the woods.

Homer bailed Marge out of jail and then told Moe about what he had done. Meanwhile, Marge became an outcast to the rest of the town. Barney tells her about a place where he was cured from his addiction five times and so Marge checks in at Quitters. Lisa begins to get suspicious about what happened and guessed that Homer was the one who was driving. Homer goes to see Marge and admits what he had done. She gets angry and goes to meet up with the other people at the rehab and gets drunk with them. Marge then realized that she enjoyed spending time with Homer more than drinking.
