Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

Hi everybody! Here's a quick message in let you all know that we have moved al of our shows over the the Spreaker Prime network, which means this Podbean page will no longer be getting updated with new shows.

What does this mean? Absolutely nothing, unless you listen to the show via the Podbean App/Website. If you listen via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc, then it's simply business as usual.

You can find the links to our Spreaker page below, or simply visit fourfingerdiscount.com.au

With Bluey taking the world by storm, we were lucky enough to be joined by the man behind the iconic music of the show, Joff Bush, discussing how influential The Simpsons (in particular 'Songs in the Key of Springfield') was on his style. An absolute delight and a must for any true Bluey or Simpsons fan!'

Homer becomes Springfield's safety guru and before long he's challenging Mayor Quimby for office. Until, that is, there's an embarrassing mishap with his costume. This all comes after what is arguably his cruelest moment of the series so far.

Marge and Bart bond over tandem-bike rides and Homer enters an arm-wrestling competition. Honestly, the Homer plot was utterly pointless, although there was a lot of heartfelt moments with Marge and Bart. It at times gave us "Marge Be Not Proud" vibes. Enjoy!

Kirk and Luanne Van Houten get back together after attending the Simpsons' "pox party", which at first excites Milhouse, but then causes him to dislike the new arrangement. Then the episode turns into another crappy "Marge throws out Homer" story for absolutely no reason. An episode that had real potential if handled with more care.

A new season is upon, and so is another "Marge leaving Homer" story. Don't worry, she forgives him in the end...bet you didn't see that one coming! Jokes aside, this episode started well with Homer having to rent out the family house for a porn film in order to pay off a mob debt, but then, well, you'll just have to listen. At least the show gets better next week with "The Girl Who Slept Too Little".

This is without a doubt the worst episode of The Simpsons we've edited to date. Why? Well, after a lame intro poking fun at Star Wars (and George Lucas' height?), we get Homer trying to avoid another DUI by putting a passed-out Marge in the driver's seat of their overturned car, before fleeing the scene. She is then shamed by the town and checks herself into rehab, all whilst Homer sits at home feeling sorry for himself. An absolutely atrocious episode. Hopefully you enjoy listening to us rage about it more than we did having to watch it.
