Summary

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.
