Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

We discuss the "breaking news" that Marge Simpson has apparently been killed off. Yes, an episode that aired a month ago is only just now getting media attention for the purpose of clickbait.If you enjoy this review, please consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as $1 per month at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.

Lisa gets dosed up on "happy pills" whilst Bart falls in love with (again), this time with Jenny, aka Anne Hathaway, leaving Milhouse feeling abandoned. The result? A pretty sweet story that sees Bart finally show some appreciation to his poindexter best friend. If anything, the Lisa b-plot could have been a full-episode with some heavy themes. A winner by Season 20 standards.We also discuss Guy's love of Shauna, Dando's collection of "Oodies", the iconic Simpsons DVD cover art and more.If you enjoy this review, please consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as $1 per month at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHAPTERS:25:23 - Favourite Moments33:50 - Trivia37:00 - Stonecutter Shout OutsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.

Safe to say, this episode could have gone very pear-shaped, thankfully what we get is a lovely story between Moe and his (future) fiancée Maya. Does Moe deserve such happiness?

Dia duit! That's right this week we' gathered our lucky charms and and visited O'Flanagan's pub in Ireland for a pint or two, and boy are we glad that we did because this is arguably the best Simpsons vacation episode since Bart vs Australia.Al Jean said the intention was to produce a love letter to Ireland and they succeeded.

One of the most enjoyable Simpsons episodes in years. An absolute delight for anyone who enjoys a good problem-solving mystery, as the show pays tribute to the likes of The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure and more.

Not only is this episode's story a showcase for just how despicable The Simpsons have become, but it also features arguably the darkest and bleakest moment in the history of the show. Basically, Homer blows the family's savings and they lose their house, Flanders buys it and rents it back to them, but soon evicts them after they abuse his generousity.Meanwhile, since it's Easter, we also discuss Guy's latest hot-cross-buns escapades, the Simpsons writers losing our trust and Dando's new pet...kinda.If you enjoy this review, please consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as $1 per month at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHAPTERS:2:14 - Dando has a new pet7:30 - This episode is somehow relatable8:12 - Guy's love of hot cross buns13:30 - The overuse of "Flanderisms"14:30 - Justifying Marge's behaviour19:15 - Flanders is surprisingly masculine21:11 - Homer's behaviour was despicable24:25 - The writers have lost our trust28:20 - What's the point of this story?29:00 - FAVOURITE MOMENTS31:30 - TRIVIA33:30 - STONECUTTER SHOUT OUTS35:05 - Top 3 Films at the time36:30 - EPISODE RUN THROUGH BEGINS45:00 - Too much pointless filler48:19 - Marge's attachment to the house50:50 - The darkest moment of the series (so far)01:01:15 - The era of video game movies has begun01:03:40 - The lowest this show has sunk (so far)01:06:00 - Flanders needed more reason to forgive01:08:12 - Nothing matters anymoreBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.
