Prepare to cry.  Honestly, as a father, this episode now hits Dando harder than ever. When we get the reveal of Fry's drawing on the nursery wall, he was a mess. Without a doubt one of the most beautifully told stories of any television series, period. As our way of saying thanks for your support, we're giving you a freebie with this BONUS episode of "Tales Of Futurama" . Our full back catalogue i...

It's the Simpsons episode they want you to forget about! That's right, we've gone back and revisited the one where Springfield is visited by the big white guy, who thinks he's the little black guy. We discuss the producers' decision to remove the episode from streaming/syndication after the 'Leaving Neverland' documentary, the lost "Prince sequel", Michael Jackson's late-night phonecall to Matt Gr...

This episode is the rarest podcast of them all! Edited by podcast artisans who work exclusively in the medium of podcasts. You won't be able to resist it's sweeeeeeet can. In all seriousness, this week we were joined by the general manager of Umbrella Enterainment, the legendary Ari Harrison, who grew up on Simpsons marathons and gummi just like the rest of us. We cover not only 'Homer Badman', bu...

Without a doubt one of the best Simpsons episodes in years! Here we get a full-length "24" parody, complete with guest appearances from Jack Bauer and Chloe.  The story focuses on the Springfield Elementary "Counter Truancy Unit" attempting to prevent the bullies from setting off a fart bomb at the school's annual bake sale.

Santa's Little Helper becomes a police dog and after a rough couple of days on the job, he bites Bart out of anger, leaving him to go live with Lou. Another episode with a solid premise but lacklustre execution for the most part, although it was nice to see Lou get the chance to be an MVP.

Homer, Moe, Apu and Skinner become volunteer firefighters, however when they realise they aren't being paid, they begin stealing from those they're supposed to be helping. A pretty solid story with a rather weak execution, but at least it gave us the classic "no kids and three money" quote.

After costing the Springfield Isotots the championship game, Bart becomes the most hated boy in town. Meanwhile, Homer becomes a mattress salesman at Costington's and helps the Lovejoys with their intimacy issues. Honestly, the title of this episode is really fitting, as the Bart story truly leaves you feeling bummed out. The Homer/Lovejoys story was a bit of fun though. Support the Four Finger Di...

Wheatus frontman Brendan B. Brown joins Dando in the studio this week to review "New Kid On The Block", as well as discuss a whole range of topics including the moment he created the Teenage Dirtbag riff, the time he almost met Angus Young and more. *WARNING* This pod (kinda) contains spoilers for The Sopranos.

AFL superstar Tom Liberatore of the Western Bulldogs joins us this week to discuss one of his favourite episodes, "Lard Of The Dance".

"Best. Season 18 Episode. Ever." Honestly, this episode could fit straight into the "golden era", as it sees Homer become Springfield's most notorious paparazzo, a story that just works on so many levels.

You'll never stop The Simpsons! Have no fears, they've got stories for years...just like a crazy wedding and boy did something happen. What, you ask? Grampa married Selma! Let's be honest, this is a pretty farfetched story that feels almost impossible to buy into, however there's still plenty of gags and a B-plot with Bart and Lisa vs the postal service that gives us the great title, "Boxingham Pa...

Who controls the podcast world? Who keeps Spider-Pig's tail curled? We do! We do! That's right, this week we've gone back to revisit the episode that introduced us to the Stonecutters, Homer Glumplet, as well as that creepy egg! So what did we think of the episode?

Happy New Years everyone! As our gift to you, we went back and revisited this holiday...classic?

We cover what we liked/disliked, what we'd change, our recommended "double feature" and more. Full episode available now on our Patreon channel. Support the Four Finger...

We figured this week we'd just take a step back and have some fun with a trivia challenge. Dando answered Simpsons questions, whilst Guy answered 80s/90s trivia.

Who could have imagined that an episode involving Cletus' family would turn out so great?! So much to love here in both stories, whether it's the genuinely scary "Dark Stanley" story, to Lisa rescuing the Spuckler children form the clutches of Krusty.

This week I'm joined by the incredibly talented gentlemen behind the new Simpsons short, "Troyal Of The Century: Troy McClure vs The Springfield Aquarium", animator Andrew Kepple and voice-artist Jayden Libran.

After saving Springfield from a fire, Bart is awarded his own driver's license, leading him to North Haverbrook where he meets a teenage girl named Darcy (voiced by Natalie Portman). Meanwhile, Lisa pretends her family has Native American heritage. Honestly, the Bart story was pretty fun, especially the reversal of him now having to give others a lift. Lisa's story was harder to buy into, although...

It's another trilogy episode, with this one focusing on the theme of "revenge". Normally these are pretty pointless, and this one is to an extent, however the last two segments are almost Treehouse of Horror worthy. A pretty fun episode overall! NOTE: With Guy being away in Bali, Elliot Jay O'Neill from The Simpsons Index podcast fills in. Support the Four Finger Discount Network for EARLY & A...

Can you believe it? Homer makes an effort! Trust us, we were just as surprised as you were. Honestly though this was quite an enjoyable story that saw Homer take the family to Barnacle Bay, in order for Marge to relive a happy childhood memory. It then transitions into a parody of The Perfect Storm, with an environmental message at the end. A bit of a mixed bag, but hey, at least we got introduced...
