Moe discovers his talent for crushing dreams in “Judge Me Tender,” but does his trip to the American Idol judging panel actually produce any laughs?Guy and Dando review the Season 21 finale, debating its parade of celebrity cameos, the painfully obvious Fox cross-promotion and whether Simon Cowell at least deserves credit for playing the villain.They also look back at Ellen DeGeneres’ surprising stint on American Idol, question the show’s overly reliant sign gags, unpack Homer and Marge’s

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

The Bob Next Door (S21E22)

Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast) ·

2026/08/19

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.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify

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

Moe Letter Blues (S21E21)

Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast) ·

2026/07/23

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

To Surveil With Love (S21E20)

Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast) ·

2026/07/08

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

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.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on

2026/06/25

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.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple

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.Support the

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

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.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHECK

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.Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify

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
