Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

This podcast is a part of us all... a part of us all... A PART OF US ALL! That's right, this week we're hopping into Flanders' RV and taking a trip to Shelbyville as we revisit "Lemon Of Troy". However, it would be foolish to partake in this endeavour alone, so we've summoned a burly protector to save us from the barrage of married cousins, the writer of the episode, Brent Forrester! We discuss the "lemon face" scene and how it's developed its own life in meme culture, the reason so many fans have a nostalgic connection to the story, how the episode was originally pitched and so much more. Plus we get a crash course in comedy writing, as we delve into Brent's career working on hit shows such as King of the Hill, The Office, The Ben Stiller Show, Late Night with David Letterman and Mr. Show, just to name a few.

As announced at D23, The NEW Simpsons Movie got it's official title, plus fans were treated to a brief animatic of a scene from the film. During the same panel, Matt Groening may hav accidentally let it slip that a remaster for Simpson Hit & Run is coming. We also discuss Nancy Cartwright's recent statement that she thinks the show will end at Season 40, as well as her and Harry Shearer's stance on being replace with AI.

With the announcement of The NEW Simpsons Movie, Dando is joined by fellow Simpsons nerd, Chris Stanley, to discuss their memories of the original film's release. They discuss the incredible hype in the lead-up, including some very creative tie-ins (7/11 stores becoming Kwik-E-Marts will always be a winner), the fact that Australians were the first to see it in cinemas, what their experience was like at the first screening and more. Plus you'll hear their initial thoughts on the film, what they enjoyed and what disappointed, as well as predictions for what's to come in The NEW Simpsons Movie.

Sideshow Bob returns once again in what may be his best appearance since the "golden era". There was something truly sinister about his ploy here that took us back to the vibe of "Cape Feare", which was also helped by the Face Off parody. We discuss THAT gruesome visual, the Simpsons' cast on Herman's Head , why there's too many "filler" gags this season, spoiling Harry Potter , our love of Down Periscope and more.

We discuss which one-time character deserves an origin story, what is Homer's greatest side hustle, whether Lisa episodes deserve the hate they tend to receive online, why Mona Simpson is a bad mother and more!

Aaron "Gocsy" Gocs returns this week, so to celebrate the FIFA World Cup, he and Dando discuss the favourite Simpsons episodes involving sport. Whether it's Homer's stint as a pee-wee football coach, Bart's battle with Todd Flander over mini-golf or Lisa's amazing hockey skills, all of this and more is covered in this fun episode. We also discuss Gocsy distracting Steve Smith during last year's Ashes series, the best way to handle online trolls, whether Mr. Burns actually cheated at golf and more.

Check out this special sneak peek at Mitch and Dando's review of "Eight Misbehavin"! Each month, our Patreon supporters get access to TWO new S11 reviews from Mitch and Dando, so joing the FFD family today! Mitch and Dando have always had a love/eight relationship, but things have gone to the next level after revisiting "Eight Misbehavin", a funny (and potentially problematic) look at the life of a new parent. We discuss the episode's accurate portrayal of the stresses of parenthood, the pro and cons of banana bread, taking parental advice from others, which Indian cricketer should voice Apu and more.

To celebrate Mother's Day, The Simpsons highlight how Homer, Apu and Reverend Lovejoy have become neglectful husbands, but luckily Moe is around to convince their wives otherwise. A parody of the film A Letter To Three Wives, the episode certainly has its relatable moments, but again points out just how pessimistic Springfield in general has become by this point. We discuss the Lovejoy's (literally) loveless relationship, the stereotypical gags that Apu and Majula seem stuck with, why The Simpsons shouldn't be seen as "just a cartoon", Dando's love of jigsaw puzzles and more.

We've reached down deep into the mailbag and although we found no spy camera, we found a bunch of your questions! We discuss our favourite Simpsons games, the end of The Simpsons Ride and why it could lead to "Simpsonsland", whether Lisa is more interesting than Bart and so much more.

Unattended podcast! Well, not really, since you're here and this week you're getting our review of "To Surveil With Love", an episode that had a really interesting story regarding the misuse of surveillance and the sacrifice of certain freedoms in the name of "security", but just didn't know how to execute it. Oh and apparently The Simpsons still though the topic of blonde jokes was relevant in 2010. We discuss what may be the series' most tasteless gag to date, the neutering of the show's authority figures, an unfortunate incident involving one of Dando's recent deliveries and more.

Yes sir, there's nothing on Earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified two-host podcast! That's right, this week we've gone back to one of the all-time classic, "Marge vs the Monorail", the episode that changed The Simpsons forever. We discuss Conan's original pitch, Leonard Nimoy's last-minute (but perfect) cameo, Lyle Lanley being Phil Hartman's most iconic non-regular character and more.

Lisa discovers a beached whale after a big storm, naming her Bluella and vowing to take care of her, only for her to die the next day. Sounds like a lot of fun, right? This episode truly had a lot of potential, but unfortunately couldn't stay in any one lane and left us (well, Dando in particular), pretty annoyed. We also discuss the downfall of Flanders, Hugh Laurie's recent tweet and more.

This week we bust out the Battle Balls and check out the episode where Homer becomes Chief Wiggum's best friend. Honestly, it's surprising that it took this long for this story to happen, but we're glad it did. Here we see a more vulnerable insight into life as Clancy Wiggum, adding a new layer to Springfield's chief of police and showcasing the struggle of finding friendship as an adult. We also discuss the consistency of Caroline Omine's writing, carrot cake, the lack of Lisa and more.

It's time to suck the evil out of Guy and Dando with this week's review of "American History X-Cellent", an episode that sees Burns go to prison, Smithers take over the power plant, whilst Bart and Lisa raise an ant. A step up form last week, although at times it felt like the show was more interested in parodying prison films than actually telling a story. We discuss how the Burns and Smithers plots could have been their own episodes, the difference between The Shawshank Redemption and The Last Castle, the assassination of Grogu and more.

The Simpsons are going to Jerusalem! Why? Don't ask. Without a doubt one of the worst episodes of the series (so far) and boy do we take it to task. We discuss how this story could have made more sense, the nonsensical use of Sacha Baron Cohen as Jakob the tour guide, whether it was anti-semitic, a theory on when The Simpsons quality "dropped off" and more.

This week's podcast has a strict "no touching" policy as we delve into a real missed opportunity of an episode that sees Bart fall in love with a girl named Nikki (voiced by Sarah Silverman). Meanwhile, Lisa feels sad (again) because she's an over-achiever. We discuss how the main story could (and should) have expanded to a town-wide situation and not simply focus on the Bart/Nikki relationship, our first kiss and more.

Bart realises he can get what he wants by turning Marge and Homer against each other, that is until they realise that their marriage is more important than caring about parenting. Marge and Homer rediscovering their love for each other was a fun story that many parenting couples will relate to, which along with the addition of a new location being the abandoned Springfield Subway, makes for an enjoyable episode overall. We also discuss peeing in the shower, last-minute assignments, the best way to do the dishes and more.

Dental Plan! Dando needs braces! This week we discuss what many consider the greatest Simpsons episode of all time, "Last Exit To Springfield", with one of its co-writers, Jay Kogen! On top of the episode, we also discuss the competitiveness of the Simpsons writer's room, Dr. Hibbert's original name, creating characters like Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob, memories of working with the likes of Sam Simon, Kelsey Grammer, Conan O'Brien and more! Plus, we find out once and for all whether Smithers was originally intended to be black (the answer may shock you!) NOTE: Proper discussion about the episode begins at the 1 hour mark.

The Simpsons were slave owners?! It happened! Or did it? Here we have Lisa discovering that her ancestors helped a black slave escape to freedom, with an added secret for good measure that should change the history of the show, but won't. It's hard to find comedy with a topic such as slavery, and this episode is a perfect example.
