Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

Not gonna lie, not even Stephen Colbert and Lionel Richie could save this season premiere. A fun premise that just seemed to lack any solid direction, but hey, at least it tried (kinda).

We had very low expectations going into this season, so we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of genuinely good episodes there were! Let's be serious, there were some ABSOLUTE STINKERS, but overall Season 18 proved to be another solid outing, especially considering the staff were also making the movie.

This week we revisit one of the most iconic Simpsons episodes of all time, so to ensure we get to the bottom of the mystery, we've called upon the help of the lads from "I Could Murder A Podcast"!

It's the Simpsons episode they want you to forget about! That's right, we've gone back and revisited the one where Springfield is visited by the big white guy, who thinks he's the little black guy. We discuss the producers' decision to remove the episode from streaming/syndication after the 'Leaving Neverland' documentary, the lost "Prince sequel", Michael Jackson's late-night phonecall to Matt Groening and more.

Without a doubt one of the best Simpsons episodes in years! Here we get a full-length "24" parody, complete with guest appearances from Jack Bauer and Chloe. The story focuses on the Springfield Elementary "Counter Truancy Unit" attempting to prevent the bullies from setting off a fart bomb at the school's annual bake sale.

Santa's Little Helper becomes a police dog and after a rough couple of days on the job, he bites Bart out of anger, leaving him to go live with Lou. Another episode with a solid premise but lacklustre execution for the most part, although it was nice to see Lou get the chance to be an MVP.

Homer, Moe, Apu and Skinner become volunteer firefighters, however when they realise they aren't being paid, they begin stealing from those they're supposed to be helping. A pretty solid story with a rather weak execution, but at least it gave us the classic "no kids and three money" quote.

After costing the Springfield Isotots the championship game, Bart becomes the most hated boy in town. Meanwhile, Homer becomes a mattress salesman at Costington's and helps the Lovejoys with their intimacy issues. Honestly, the title of this episode is really fitting, as the Bart story truly leaves you feeling bummed out. The Homer/Lovejoys story was a bit of fun though.

"Best. Season 18 Episode. Ever." Honestly, this episode could fit straight into the "golden era", as it sees Homer become Springfield's most notorious paparazzo, a story that just works on so many levels.

You'll never stop The Simpsons! Have no fears, they've got stories for years...just like a crazy wedding and boy did something happen. What, you ask? Grampa married Selma! Let's be honest, this is a pretty farfetched story that feels almost impossible to buy into, however there's still plenty of gags and a B-plot with Bart and Lisa vs the postal service that gives us the great title, "Boxingham Palace".
