Lisa discovers a beached whale after a big storm, naming her Bluella and vowing to take care of her, only for her to die the next day. Sounds like a lot of fun, right?

This episode truly had a lot of potential, but unfortunately couldn't stay in any one lane and left us (well, Dando in particular), pretty annoyed.

We also discuss the downfall of Flanders, Hugh Laurie's recent tweet and more.

This week we bust out the Battle Balls and check out the episode where Homer becomes Chief Wiggum's best friend. Honestly, it's surprising that it took this long for this story to happen, but we're glad it did.

Here we see a more vulnerable insight into life as Clancy Wiggum, adding a new layer to Springfield's chief of police and showcasing the struggle of finding friendship as an adult.

We also discuss the consistency of Caroline Omine's writing, carrot cake, the lack of Lisa and more.

It's time to suck the evil out of Guy and Dando with this week's review of "American History X-Cellent", an episode that sees Burns go to prison, Smithers take over the power plant, whilst Bart and Lisa raise an ant.

A step up form last week, although at times it felt like the show was more interested in parodying prison films than actually telling a story.

We discuss how the Burns and Smithers plots could have been their own episodes, the difference between The Shawshank Redemption and The Last Castle, the assassination of Grogu and more.

The Simpsons are going to Jerusalem! Why? Don't ask. Without a doubt one of the worst episodes of the series (so far) and boy do we take it to task.

We discuss how this story could have made more sense, the nonsensical use of Sacha Baron Cohen as Jakob the tour guide, whether it was anti-semitic, a theory on when The Simpsons quality "dropped off" and more.

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.

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.

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 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.
