North Bay News : "'The program is kind of like the pantheon of pop culture and it's nice to see Project Grizzly, which has already achieved cult status, enter the larger popular cultural arena,' Lynch said.

'Being part of The Simpsons will give Project Grizzly more of a mythic status while also giving it currency.'

Lynch said Canadians are “passive consumers” of American culture and of myths that “glorify” American heroes and values.

'Troy and his men aren't simply watching Robocop or the Terminator trilogy; they're attempting to live it. The Simpsons has its finger on the pulse of zeitgeist pop culture. And it takes a classic like Project Grizzly and transforms it even further through mainstream mythic consciousness,' Lynch said".
