  • Stealing First Base (S21E15)

    Stealing First Base (S21E15)
    May 21 2026
    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.

  • Postcards From The Wedge (S21E14)

    Postcards From The Wedge (S21E14)
    May 14 2026
    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 the dishes and more.

  • Last Exit To Springfield (with Jay Kogen)

    Last Exit To Springfield (with Jay Kogen)
    May 7 2026
    Dental Plan! Dando needs braces! This week we discuss what many consider the greatest Simpsons episode of all time, "Last Exit To Springfield", with one of its co-writers, Jay Kogen!

    On top of the episode, we also discuss the competitiveness of the Simpsons writer's room, Dr. Hibbert's original name, creating characters like Mr. Burns and Sideshow Bob, memories of working with the likes of Sam Simon, Kelsey Grammer, Conan O'Brien and more!

    Plus, we find out once and for all whether Smithers was originally intended to be black (the answer may shock you!)

    NOTE: Proper discussion about the episode begins at the 1 hour mark.

    The Color Yellow (S21E13)
    Apr 30 2026
    The Simpsons were slave owners?! It happened! Or did it? Here we have Lisa discovering that her ancestors helped a black slave escape to freedom, with an added secret for good measure that should change the history of the show, but won't.

    It's hard to find comedy with a topic such as slavery, and this episode is a perfect example.
