To celebrate the festive season, this week we revisit one of Dando's favourite episodes of all time, 'Marge Be Not Proud' with former Simpsons writer/showrunner, Bill Oakley!

Bill was the showrunner for this episode and gives amazing insights into its formation, discussing THAT ending, Lawrence Tierney's now-iconic guest appearance, Mike Scully's airtight script, why it's NOT a Christmas episode and more.

An absolute privilege to have the opportunity to talk to Bill about one of the all-time classic episodes of the show. A must for any true Simpsons fan!

Bart is shocked to learn that there was once a better prankster at Springfield Elementary, and it turns out to be Jonah Hill! Well, kinda. Plus, Marge gets judged by the other mothers for the snacks she feeds her kids. Honestly, a pretty fun episode that pokes fun at youtuber pranks, as well as OTT parents who think everything is unhealthy.

We also discuss how Guy has never heard 'Baby Shark', how Dando has never seen 'Twilight', why Dando's car decided to rip open his ear and more.

Help us, Dr. Zaius! This week we're revisiting the classic "A Fish Called Selma" with former Simpsons writer/showrunner, Josh Weinstein.

We get first-hand insights into how the episode came together; the writing process of "Stop The Planet Of The Apes, I Want To Get Off!", Phil Hartman's live-action Troy McClure series, working with Jeff Goldblum and so much more.

Plus we discuss whether Josh regrets leaving The Simpsons, how he and Bill Oakley joined the writing staff, as well as why they made "The Principal and the Pauper". A really fun show!

Do you remember when Marge was a Playboy cover girl? It happened! And so did this episode, where she posed for a sexy calendar and got extra horny, unfortunately Homer's new job as Carl's assistant (who was promoted to supervisor), means he's unable to act on it. It then ends up with Marge considering sleeping with Flanders...yeah.

A lot of relatability here but also a lot that just felt unfinished or unnecessary. We also discuss sex games, kids complaining over nothing, our thoughts on Mountain Dew and more.

Guy and Dando review the latest "Treehouse of Horror" episode? It happened!

This year's Halloween special featured "The Last Days Of Crisco", "Clown Night With The Devil" and "Plastic World", all of which were pretty entertaining, but were they funny?

We discuss the spot-on homage to 90s Simpsons, the current state of streaming, cleaning nappies, the return of Apu and more!
