Episodes
It's incredible (and sad) how an episode that aired almost 30 years ago can still be just as relevant today, as it was back then. Regardless, here we are with our revisit of "Much Apu About Nothing", an episode that is in our opinion, the gold standard of "Apu" stories.

We're back! Not that we necessarily went anywhere, but it's a new season and we're feeling optimistic after this fun outing that see Homer and Flanders start their own bounty hunter company. On top of that, Marge becomes an erotic baker which leads to one of Dando's favourite gags in a while. We also discuss Guy's love of all things Robert Forster, the best way to eat a twist from Baker's Delight, the tragic career history of Dog the Bounty Hunter and more.

Lisa becomes Krusty's assistant, which leads to her becoming famous. Now don't be confused, this may seem like a copy of "Bart Gets Famous", however it's actually a really fun homage to the classic film, "All About Eve". What was even more impressive was that we both loved the way Sideshow Mel was handled too! Added great depth to his character and gave a better understanding as to why he continues to put up with a gig he seemingly hates. Overall, a good season finale! We also discuss being...

The spooky season is upon us, so we thought we'd get a routine soul smear and go back to revisit some classic Treehouse Of Horror with "The Thing and I", "The Genesis Tub" and "Citizen Kang"! So much to love in what's a great blend of horror without any true gore. We also discuss lizard people, "Basket Case", where the Toth Fairy prefers to collect teeth from and more.

Yeah this one right here goes out to all the baby's mamas, mamas..since unfortunately we bid farewell to Mona Simpson! Yes it's the end of Mona's arc as Homer finally bids a permanent farewell to his mother, not before she asks one last rebellious favour of him!A nice twist on the "Homer's mother returns" story, where she may pass away in the first act, yet her presence is still felt throughout. The ending felt a little whacky, however for the msot part a nice story. We also discuss Guy...

The following podcast is brought to you by ChalmSkinn productions. Well, at least we wish it was. What a fun episode! As movie nerds, this especially hits a home as it pokes fun at the Sundance Film Festival, along with the "festival hype" in general. Not only that, we get a genuinely lovely and heartwarming story of Lisa learning to aprpeciate her family for their faults. We also discuss being stud muffins, Marge's adorable use of the word "snuggle" and more. Plus, we get a cameo from...

What a sweet episode! Bart becomes attached to a calf and attempts to save him from slaughter. In all honesty, this handled the subject of "meat eating" in a far superior way then South Park did for "Fun With Veal". We also discuss "Super Simpsons Weekends" marathons, our love of banana bread, Ladbrokes and more.

"First you get the podcast, then you get the power, then you get the women." That's right, this week we revisited "Lisa's Rival", famous for not only Winona Ryder's appearance as Alison Taylor, but it's also when Homer finds Hans Moleman's jackknifed sugar truck! We also discuss finding porn in the woods, piercing our ears, our love for Miss Hoover and more.

Lurleen Lumpkin is back! Except this time she doesn't want to bunk with Homer, she's reuniting with her deadbeat father, 'cause that always goes well. This was actually a lovely sequel to "Colonel Homer", with Marge helping Lurleen realise that SHE is in control of her own success, not the men in her life. Plus we get a pretty terrific guest appearance from The (Dixie) Chicks. We also discuss Guy's latest "LIMITED" purchase, our favourite Madonna songs, the terrifying truth about otters and...

It's another murder mystery! This time our dear pal Martin Prince is the victim in question...or is he? Honestly, a perfectly fine episode where logic kinda falls apart at the end. The "Sneaker" parody was a nice throwback though. We also discuss the genius songwriting of the Black Eyed Peas, our fear of Komodo Dragons, the dial-up internet sound and more.

This podcast is BOLLOCKS! Well, maybe not the podcast, however the episode we reviewed certainly is. Dando sums it up as "inoffensive, yet forgettable", which is about all there is to say. Honestly there were a few funny gags throughout (including a Disney reference that's certainly NOT aged well) but for the most part it's just another "Simpsons retell a story" trilogy. On top of the review we also discuss Guy launching a "yawning" OnlyFans, our love of Clancy and Sarah Wiggum's...

It's the one everyone hates apparently, although we're not too sure why, 'cause we loved it. A really fun throwback to the 90s which although at times felt a little on the nose, was actually an enjoyable teen-comedy-style story that felt straight out of 1997. Plus, the Sadgasm songs were also actually pretty great? As a big Nirvana fan, Dando in particular got a real kick out of the references to Cobain's story. We also discuss the rise and fall of 'Sugar Ray', eatings "snags" in the...

Let's not sugarcoat things, this episode was a disaster. A nonsensical politically-charged story that feels extremely dated in 2024, along with one of the most confusing "endings" (if you can call it that) of all time. Apparently Ralph has been disguising his intelligence for 15 years since "I Love Lisa", as he now plans to run for president and make American great again. Absolutely bizarre. On a more positive note, we also discuss whether Elliott's new goalposts actually worked, the charm...

Sideshow Bob is back! This time he may have his most convoluted (and unneccsary) scheme ever to kill Bart. Seriously, the whole first half feels pointless by the end. Luckily we get a Frasier reunion, even though you wouldn't really know it from this. Felt like a wasted opportunity with a guest star (again). We also discuss eating ribs, buying cheap batteries vs expensive ones, an itneresting Woolworths hack and more. Plus, Dando tells a story of being hit on by another married woman on the...
