15 MAG 2025 · Dia duit! That's right this week we' gathered our lucky charms and and visited O'Flanagan's pub in Ireland for a pint or two, and boy are we glad that we did because this is arguably the best Simpsons vacation episode since Bart vs Australia.
Al Jean said the intention was to produce a love letter to Ireland and they succeeded. A really fun story that sees Homer and Abe buy an Irish pub and ignore the no-smoking laws.
We also discuss Colin Farrell, the 1970s comic series GASM, the use of the word "bog" and more.

9 MAG 2025 · One of the most enjoyable Simpsons episodes in years. An absolute delight for anyone who enjoys a good problem-solving mystery, as the show pays tribute to the likes of The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure and more. Just a really fun episode that you can sit down and watch as a family.

1 MAG 2025 · Not only is this episode's story a showcase for just how despicable The Simpsons have become, but it also features arguably the darkest and bleakest moment in the history of the show. Basically, Homer blows the family's savings and they lose their house, Flanders buys it and rents it back to them, but soon evicts them after they abuse his generousity.
Meanwhile, since it's Easter, we also discuss Guy's latest hot-cross-buns escapades, the Simpsons writers losing our trust and Dando's new pet...kinda.

16 APR 2025 · The Four Finger Discount family recently lost our beloved pooch Jet, so to pay tribute we've gone back and revisited one of the more heartfelt episodes from the earlier seasons, Bart's Dog Gets An F.
We discuss how revisiting the episode helped Dando grieve the loss of Jet, the history of Tracey Ullman's turbulent relationship with the series, the simplistic but effective use of Marge's quilt to drive the story and more.

11 APR 2025 · For the first time in his life, Homer is financially liable for his actions. Can he last 3 hours without hurting himself? Meanwhile, Springfield Elementary are preparing to take the Vice President's Assessment Test, which means all of the trouble-makers are sent on a joyride to Capitol City with Skinner. A pretty enjoyable episode that sees Principal Skinner finally earn back some respect from the kids.
Plus, we get a pretty kick-arse parody of Final Destination!We also discuss the origin of the glovebox, kids asking too many questions and the importance of respecting your teacher.

28 MAR 2025 · Call Mr. Gocs, that's his name, that name again is Mr. Gocs! That's right, the hilarious Aaron Gocs joined us this week to review the classic "Mr. Plow".
There were many flurries of passion as we dove deep into what makes this episode so fantastic. Whether it's the spot-on guest cameos, the absurdity of Springfield's weather or deciding who was the villain in this scenario, there was so much to dissect.

12 MAR 2025 · If you think Juliette was insane with her visions of Equalia, perhaps you should take a look at the writers for even conjuring this episode together in the first place. An absolute stinker that never seemed to know what it was, or even what it wanted to be, which is unfortunate because there were several interesting directions that could've been taken.
We also discuss another Simpsons "heel" theory, Dando wetting the bed, the best way to eat a peach and more.
