We discuss the "breaking news" that Marge Simpson has apparently been killed off. Yes, an episode that aired a month ago is only just now getting media attention for the purpose of clickbait.

Lisa gets dosed up on "happy pills" whilst Bart falls in love with (again), this time with Jenny, aka Anne Hathaway, leaving Milhouse feeling abandoned. The result? A pretty sweet story that sees Bart finally show some appreciation to his poindexter best friend. If anything, the Lisa b-plot could have been a full-episode with some heavy themes. A winner by Season 20 standards.

We also discuss Guy's love of Shauna, Dando's collection...

Guy was away eating strawberries this week, so Dando is instead joined by his new co-host...Mr Black. Jokes aside, what a fun trip back to the episode that SHOULD have been the original Simpsons movie!

Kamp Krusty may indeed be the "krustiest" place on Earth, however this review is anything but.We discuss Homer and Marge's subplot, school camp memories, THAT Ralph design and so much more.

Safe to say, this episode could have gone very pear-shaped, thankfully what we get is a lovely story between Moe and his (future) fiancée Maya. Does Moe deserve such happiness? Some may argue no, but those people clearly haven't watched this episode.

We also discuss the new taking food into the cinema, the early days of Netflix, the new Lilo & Stitch film and more.

Homer and Marge are getting married...AGAIN! Except this time it's genuinely for the right reasons. Homer is honestly so likeable in this episode that it almost feels like damage-control against the "Jerkass" tag. On top of that, we also getting a really fun SAW parody. A pleasant surprise!

One of the all-time great Marge episodes that sees her take a chance on herself and join the Springfield police force. A great look at the roadblocks many women face in the workplace, as well as the perception of women with positions of authority.

We also discuss the "car hole" vs "car hold" debate, how Herman managed to conduct illegal activities in the Simpsons' garage, what happened to Snake's brother and more.

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.

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.

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 escapade...

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.

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.

A little breaking news today as FOX announce they have renewed The Simpsons for four more seasons, along with Family Guy, Bob's Burgers and American Dad. This will take the show through to Season 40!

We give our thoughts on the news and what it means for the future of animation on FOX.

NOTE: Apologies in advance for Dando's audio. His mic wasn't plugged all the way in. D'oh!

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.

Homer learns that he should have won class president back in high school, which leads to a bizarre "Tales Of Interest" type story where Luigi's crazy chef shows Homer the future he could have had. Safe to stay, we'd all rather live in the sauce.We also discuss having sex on a beach, the new HD era, best movie twists and more.

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 w...

CAUTION! This week's episode is filled with stingers AND zingers as we tackle 'The Burns and the Bees', an episode that kinda just feels, "there". Apparently the fate of the world's bees falls on Lisa's shoulders (well, her face) and nobody seems to care besides her. Meanwhile Mr. Burns looks to Marc Cuban on how a billionaire can have fun AND be rich. Meh.

No need for the blown gasket, listeners! Although we can understand why you'd be excited for our review of "Lady Bouvier's Lover", featuring what Dando considers to be one of the biggest heel turns in Simpsons history.

With Dando's wife currently in the UK visiting family, we've decided to give you guys FREE access to our Patreon Exclusive review of 'Homer Alone'!

As a parent, this is without a doubt one of the most relatable episodes of all time. Whether it's Homer's stress/fears of solo parenting, or Marge's meltdown as a result of the stress/anxities that come with being a parent/partner, period. There is just so much to love here!
