The Good, The Sad And The Drugly (S20E17)

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? Some may argue no, but those people clearly haven't watched this episode.We also discuss the new taking food into the cinema, the early days of Netflix, the new Lilo & Stitch film 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:30:45 - Favourite Moments34:15 - Trivia42:55 - Stonecutter Shout OutsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.

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. A really fun story that sees Homer and Abe buy an Irish pub and ignore the no-smoking laws.We also discuss Colin Farrell, the 1970s comic series GASM, the use of the word "bog" 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:3:30 - Dando's kittens keep stepping in poop5:50 - Is the best Simpsons "go to" episode since Bart vs Australia?9:20 - Nicola likes the Irish accent16:00 - They didn't use the Irish "drunk" stereotype24:20 - FAVOURITE MOMENTS31:40 - TRIVIA32:30 - The use of the word "bog"39:54 - STONECUTTER SHOUTOUTS41:26 - EPISODE RUN THROUGH45:00 - orgasm46:00 - Guy's journey with the GASM comics54:00 - Disposing of hard rubbish is the best58:00 - Murder Incorporated01:02:00 - Cooking homemade vegetable soup with Nan01:16:14 - Colin Farrell01:20:18 - 90s sports logos are iconic01:34:15 - What Did You Learn?01:34:40 - New NamesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.

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. Just a really fun episode that you can sit down and watch as a family.We also discuss the use of the use of HD technology and whether the HD era is superior from a visual perspective, our favourite memories of bootleg "cams", Dando's fear of anything involving eyes and more.Oh and Dando now has even more pets.

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.
