Four Finger Discount (Simpsons Podcast)

The spooky season is upon us once again, and this week we're set to run through the Top 10 Simpsons "Treehouse Of Horror" segments as Dando is joined by Neil Arsenty, creator of the "On This Day In Simpsons History" twitter account and host of Woohoo! Classic Simpsons Trivia in Chicago.

Whether it's the spot-on parodies like The Shinning, or Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace, the politcal satire of Citizen Kang, or even forgotten classics like Bad Dream House and Hungry and the Damned, Dando and Neil discuss just what made The Simpsons' Halloween specials so great in the 90s.

Check out this year's Woohoo Classic Simpsons Trivia Halloween Contest at Pizzeria Serio in Chicago on October 26th. Details at > eventbrite.com/e/classic-simpsons-trivia-halloween-costume-contest-tickets-2000185463565?aff=ebdssbdestsearch

Another season in the can and boy was there a lot to digest this time around. We cover which episodes we think were the "WORST. EPISODES. EVER!", as well as run through what we both consider to be the Top 10 Simpsons episodes of Season 21.

We cover the emotional highs of newly discovered friendships, the terrible lows of Sacha Baron Cohen, along with all the creamy centres you've come to love from your pals, Guy and Dando.

If you're looking for a quick fix to win back someone's love, don't buy them a pony, just let them listen to Mitch and Dando's review of "Lisa's Pony"!

They discuss whether Homer actually deserved the blame for Lisa's recital fail, the sacrifices we make as parents, the excitement of being allowed to stay up late as a child, the difficulties of getting up off the floor, Dando's inability to build a flat pack and more.

Almost two hours of Mitch and Dando banter with a good dose of Simpsons nostalgia is available right now on our Patreon, so be sure to join the FFD family today!

Good news everyone! We're walking on sunshine this week as Futurama's own, Eric Kaplan, joins us for a deep-dive discussion on his beloved (and emotionally-scarring) Futurama episode, "Jurassic Bark".

Eric takes us inside the making of Fry and Seymour’s unforgettable story, the original ending (which is even more heartbreaking than the final product), the aspects of the story that are overshadowed by THAT moment and so much more.

Plus we get a unique insight into Futurama’s writing room, the episode’s lasting legacy, and why “Jurassic Bark” still hits just as hard all these years later.

It’s a fascinating, funny and deeply moving chat with one of Futurama’s great creative minds. Grab a tissue, press play, and prepare to be emotionally destroyed in the best possible way.

Moe discovers his talent for crushing dreams in “Judge Me Tender,” but does his trip to the American Idol judging panel actually produce any laughs?

Guy and Dando review the Season 21 finale, debating its parade of celebrity cameos, the painfully obvious Fox cross-promotion and whether Simon Cowell at least deserves credit for playing the villain.

They also look back at Ellen DeGeneres’ surprising stint on American Idol, question the show’s overly reliant sign gags, unpack Homer and Marge’s underdeveloped B-story, and pitch an alternate story in which Moe becomes a professional heckler.

Plus, they also discuss what happened to Simon Cowell's face, whether dogs understand humans, the secret to a tradie's quote and more.
