Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

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!

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.

It's The Simpsons vs The Winter Olympics as Marge and Homer set out to become gold medallists in curling. Meanwhile, Lisa gets addicted to collecting Olympic pins. An overall fun episode that seems to fall off a cliff at the end, but at least Homer is continuing his trend of not being a jerk. Speaking of jerks, boy was Agnes Skinner insufferable here. We also discuss Arnie's early-90s run of comedies with Ivan Reitman, the tragic story of the boy who used to play the trumpet at Geelong footy games, how much is "too much" to give to a busker and more.

This week we were joined by comedian Dave Thornton (what a scoop!) to revisit "Rosebud", an episode jam-packed with some of the show's most iconic moments. Whether it's The Ramones' (and Mr. Burns') happy birthday renditions, 64 slices of American cheese, THAT "yes" moment, or even Barney's "2+2 is 4", there is so much to unpack and appreciate in what may be Swartzwelder's greatest Simpsons script. We also discuss whether we'd sell our child's favourite toy, McDonald's birthday parties, terrible stand-up introductions and more.

Yeah this one was a bit of a stinker, despite Grampa finally getting some much-needed respect. A parody of Mitch Albom's Tuesdays With Morrie, this episode sees a human itnerest writer try to monetise Grampa's rambles, with an even more sinister plan for the old man himself.

Bart wants a brother, so he (kinda) kidnaps an orphan for a day. Honestly, this was a fairly weak story that was filled with the usual unjustified rudeness and angst that tended to pop up in the "teen era" of the show. There's also a really odd South Park parody that doesn't seem to know why it's there.Despite all this, Dando was once again a big fan of the Homer/Marge story. Maybe this is confirmation that he is indeed getting old. We also discuss "grape snakes", the best Monopoly token, the stand-out performance from Jordan Nagai and more.

To celebrate the holidays, here's a Patreon Exclusive episode of Tales Of Futurama...for FREE! It's the lost episode! Honestly, this wasn't the greatest Xmas episode we've seen. It's just a bit of a downer, which is the opposite of what we were looking for. Xmas eps are the safeground for warm-and-fuzzy cliches, this one went a different direction. A bold strategy, not sure it paid off for 'em. Essentially, Robot Santa is frozen in ice, which leaves Bender to take the reigns as the new Santa. A fun twist on the old "Santa replacement" story, however not even Kwanzaa Bot could prevent this one from leaving us feeling glum. No wonder FOX weren't fans, child abuse doesn't really fit the Xmas spirit.

Do you remember when Marge was a Playboy cover girl? It happened! And so did this episode, where she posed for a sexy calendar and got extra horny, unfortunately Homer's new job as Carl's assistant (who was promoted to supervisor), means he's unable to act on it. It then ends up with Marge considering sleeping with Flanders...yeah. A lot of relatability here but also a lot that just felt unfinished or unnecessary.

Honestly, we're never big fans of these anthology episodes and besides a few fun gags, this one was no different. Here we put a spotlight on Queen Elizabeth I, Snow White, Lady Macbeth and...Howard Roark?

Is this podcast so out of touch? No, it is the listeners who are wrong. SO much to love and discuss with this week's revisit of "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", from Freddy Quimby's "chowdah" tirade, Homer's "meow" thoughts, McGarnagle and plenty other iconic moments. We also discuss getting old, fake eBay bidders, Michael Madsen and much more!
