Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

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.

You'll really taste the blue when you listen to our review of "The Debarted", a fun parody of "The Departed" that sees Topher Grace star as Donnie, the new kid at school who isn't all that he seems. We also discuss getting dementia, abusive teachers, "wet dream tomato" and more!

If you don't listen to our review of "Mountain Of Madness", we'll be sure to kick you in your boney, old behind! An absolutely fantastic episode which sees the Power Plant workers go on a teamwork retreat in the mountains. We also discuss NOT watching the Olympics, the fear of being hypnotised, our least favourite Simpsons "golden era" episode and more. Support the Four Finger Discount Network for...

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 al...

Simpsons showrunner Matt Selman joins Dando to discuss a Bluey/Simpsons crossover, the potential idea for a Simpsons movie sequel, Season 36 news and more. Plus they do a deep dive on the "That 90s Show", the most divisive episode Matt has ever written. SADGASM fans unite!

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...

Legendary Simpsons writer/producer joins Dando this week to discuss the upcoming Season 36, (including some fun exclusives), his first day on the job, the comparisons with working on "The Simpsons" & "F is for Family" and more.

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...

Without a doubt the best episode of the season so far, a fun mystery story which sees Homer try to retrace his steps from the night before. We also discuss whether Al Jean was correct in saying this could have been the series finale, the latest Tenacious D controversy, Elliott's 6th birthday present letdown and more!

If you're a "bad widdle boy" then you're gonna love our review of 'Krusty Get Kancelled', an absolute all-timer.

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 Wool...

Jack Black is on The Simpsons! Yes, THE Jack Black! However, apparently it was more important to forget all about that and give us another Homer/Marge "marriage in crisis" type story. When a new comic book store opens across the road, The Android's Dungeon goes out of business. Marge then turns the location into a successful gym for women. Neither of these stories get resolved. We can only assume...

Kirk and Luanne get remarried! However they unfortunately also get lost at sea on their honeymoon, which leaves Milhouse a broken soul. Who would've thought we'd ever see Milhouse as a genuine heartthrob? (Party Posse doesn't count!) We also do a taste test of Logan Paul's "Meta Moon" flavoured Prime, with sexy results...

Steve Buscemi robs a bank and takes Marge and other Springfieldians hostage, which leads Marge to call Homer for what she thinks is the final time. It's as bleak as it sounds. She then breaks a promise to visit him in prison, so he decides to break out and get revenge. The overall positive was that it gave us an excuse to gush over Buscemi for 20 minutes. What a Lord.

Safe to say, Dando could NOT have been more excited when he originally heard The Simpsons were doing an E.T. parody. Was he underwhelmed? Listen to find out. Meanwhile, we also get a fun spoof of "Mr. & Mrs. Simpson", as well as a third segment that peaked at a montage featuring the Ramones. We also cover the rise of the Paul brothers and how they seemed to have cracked the Matrix, Vince Vaugh...

Fellow Aussie and absolute legend Matt Schofield joins Dando for a bonus episode to discuss his 25-year career working for The Simpsons. They discuss the impact of the recent SAG strikes, the diversity of the writer's room, the lessons learned from David Silverman and Mike B. Anderson and more. PLUS! They discuss Matt's comic series, "Steamroller Man", which is being officially published for the f...

We were certainly smiling politely as we reviewed this absolute BANGER! The best part is that Dando now related to Homer's perspective for the first time, solidifying that he is officially getting old.

My ears! The podcast does nothing! Hopefully this isn't the case when you listen to Dando chat with Aussie cosplayer/youtuber Chris Stanley, aka Cosplay Chris. They discuss the themes of Radioactive Man, watching Simpsons marathons in the 90s, collecting Simpsons tazos, the pros/cons of content creation and more.

Not gonna lie, not even Stephen Colbert and Lionel Richie could save this season premiere. A fun premise that just seemed to lack any solid direction, but hey, at least it tried (kinda).

We had very low expectations going into this season, so we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of genuinely good episodes there were! Let's be serious, there were some ABSOLUTE STINKERS, but overall Season 18 proved to be another solid outing, especially considering the staff were also making the movie.
