14 MAY 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.

7 MAY 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.

30 APR 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.

3 APR 2026 · If you like pizza, bagels, hot dogs with mustard and beer, eggplant, or could even eat a baby dear, well then do we have the review for you!
That's right, Mitch and Dando are back and ready to kick off where they left off, by tackling "Guess Who's Come To Criticize Dinner?", an episode that sees Homer discover a career he's genuinely good at... eating! A lot of fun here, even if there was a lot left on the table with the Lisa/Homer dynamic.
Mitch and Dando also discuss memorable school excursions, swap parenthood stories, as well as do a LIVE taste test of Mitch's homemade chilli sauce. Bon appétit!

26 MAR 2026 · It's The Simpsons vs The Winter Olympics as Marge and Homer set out to become gold medallists in curling. Meanwhile, Lisa gets addicted to collecting Olympic pins.
An overall fun episode that seems to fall off a cliff at the end, but at least Homer is continuing his trend of not being a jerk. Speaking of jerks, boy was Agnes Skinner insufferable here.
We also discuss Arnie's early-90s run of comedies with Ivan Reitman, the tragic story of the boy who used to play the trumpet at Geelong footy games, how much is "too much" to give to a busker and more.

18 MAR 2026 · This week we were joined by comedian Dave Thornton (what a scoop!) to revisit "Rosebud", an episode jam-packed with some of the show's most iconic moments. Whether it's The Ramones' (and Mr. Burns') happy birthday renditions, 64 slices of American cheese, THAT "yes" moment, or even Barney's "2+2 is 4", there is so much to unpack and appreciate in what may be Swartzwelder's greatest Simpsons script.
We also discuss whether we'd sell our child's favourite toy, McDonald's birthday parties, terrible stand-up introductions and more.

11 MAR 2026 · Regardless of how you say "potato", you're gonna love this week's review of "Million Dollar Maybe", a surprisingly heartfelt and believable story that sees Homer forced to hide his lotto winnigns from his family. Despite what you may think, he's actually a pretty great father/husband for the most part!
We also discuss complaining when waiting in line, the short-lived life of Springfield's newest resident, "Ricardo", our love of a good panini and more.
