This week, Nicola thought she’d invite her own personal Paolo over for a romp in the sack, but don’t worry, Brendan kept himself occupied by standing in the corner telling knock-knock jokes. A win-win for everybody! Seriously though, this week we continue where we left off as we dive into “The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies”, an episode where, well, un…

Guy and Dando review the latest "Treehouse of Horror" episode? It happened! This year's Halloween special featured "The Last Days Of Crisco", "Clown Night With The Devil" and "Plastic World", all of which were pretty entertaining, but were they funny?

It's almost time when the time is here, the time that's only once a year, we can hardly wait, 'cause it's so near, a Woodland Critter Christmas! That's right, Christmas has come early as we pay a visit to our favourite little Satan-loving critters in this holiday special that certainly isn't for the kiddies. A lot to dissect here as we discuss the …

It's Marge vs MMA as she enters the Septagon to help rid Springfield of cage fighting. A fun Marge story that gives her the chance to kick some arse but still be a loving mother, even though we've already had stories with episodes like Itchy & Scratchy vs Marge and The Homer, The Fall. Still, if you're an MMA, this is the episode for you! If you en…

Bart accidentally gets Mrs. K fired due an alcohol-related stunt, after she takes away the students' phones. Let's be honest, we're all love pro-Krabappel at this network and firmly believe that no child needs a phone, so safe to say that we were happy to see the back of her replacement Zachary Vaughn. We also discuss parent-teacher interviews, los…

Jesus Christ! Mr. Slave must save the young girls of South Park from the evil whore herself, Paris Hilton. Honestly, this episode feels a little mean-spirited in 2025, but boy do Parker and Stone not hold back! We discuss the perception fo Paris Hilton at that time, our love for Mr. Slave, the iconic Beverly Hills: Chihuahua film franchise and more…

Comedian, writer, producer, actor and hot-bed-loving Nina Oyama joins us this week to review 'Scenes From The Class Struggle In Springfield', the first episode credited to a female writer/director combo and THE Marge episode of the "golden era".

It's time for some sexy podcast action as we take ourselves on a quest for ratings! This episode hits even harded in 2025 than 2004, as the boys try to understand why people are more interested in watching braindead television than actual news. On top of a rant about "reaction" videos, we discuss Guy's acid trips, the beauty of H.R. Pufnstuf, the c…

Can you believe it? Despite what Bart told us back in 2017, The Simpsons DID in fact wait 20 years to release another movie, but who's complaining? Despite not knowing much at this stage, we break down the announcement and discuss what we think could be potential plot ideas, how it should differ from the original and more. If you enjoy this review,…

Stupid podcast, be more funny!

Before we let you listen to this week's podcast, we demand that you send us a photo of your Mum's "bewbs"! That's because this week we revisit "Pre-School", an episode taht although features a failed launch of "South Park Kids" (thank goodness), turns out to be a great return to the show's original vibe of, as Guy would say, just "a bunch of crazy …

Suffering Steve Ditko! We've finally reached Season 21 and we kick off with an episode that sees Homer become the main star of Comic Book Guy's new superhero movie, 'Everyman". With the help of an expensive nutritionist named Lyle (voiced by Seth Rogen), Homer gets into shape, much to the delight of Marge. However unfortunately Lyle must leave for …

This week we all took a good hard look in the mirror as we revisited "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes", an episode that arguably resonates more in 2025 than it did in 2004. As South Park is quickly being consumed by the evil Wall-Mart, the boys set out a plan to stop it before their sweet little town is gone for good. We also discuss Guy's love …

Is there anything more terrible than when a long-running podcast reviews a cheesy clip show?

We discuss what exactly makes a good Simpsons song, the best Simpsons musical p…

This week we ask ourselves, "who is the douche?" and "who is the turd?" Thankfully PETA didn't try to shut us down, even though Guy (again) discusses his love of a good chorizo. We also discuss Puff Daddy's appearance, the new "crutch" that has snuck into the South Park writer's room, the difference between "asshole" and "arsehole" and more. LISTEN…

We've made it through the weeds of Season 20 and in all honesty, they weren't that deep! We run through our favourite episodes and what we thought were the biggest takeaways from the season overall, including how the writers tried to "fix" certain characters, which characters evolved the most and more. If you enjoy this review, please consider supp…

All we wanted was to order a double cheeseburger with fries, and instead we had to review "Goobacks" before somebody took 'er jobs! Not that we're actually complaining, since this episode is about as South Park as you can imagine, whilst still being as relevant today as it was in 2004. We also discuss celebrity podcast "taking 'er jobs", being exci…

Michael Jacks...Jefferson has arrived in South Park! It'd be ignorant of us to not love this episode, which in all honesty, was a lot more respectful to MJ than we remembered. Still, you can't help but feel sorry for poor little Blanket, who just wants a father, not a friend. We also discuss Michael Jackson's love of E.T., his Pepsi commercial acci…

When Springfield is overtaken by Ogdenvillians, Mayor Quimby decides to build a wall around the town to prevent anyone from entering. Sound familiar? Honestly, this was a pretty fun way to end the season with an overall positive message of unity. We also discuss our favourite dipping sauces, unsuccesfully searching for Bluey gnomes, Tim Allen's cri…
  continue reading
 
Neither of us were wearing a tie at all when we recorded this week's review of "Marge In Chains", an episode filled with laughs but never seems to know what it wants to be. As a parent, Marge's accidental theft due to sheer exhausion is VERY relatable, plus the Osaka flu outbreak took us back to the Covid days. Throw in some top-class work from Phi…

South Park's new season is finally here!

he first "Mother's Day" episode, designed to celebrate women, although at times it felt a bit like the opposite. Honestly, we're never big fans of these anthology episodes and besides a few fun gags, this one was no different. Here we put a spotlight on Queen Elizabeth I, Snow White, Lady Macbeth and...Howard Roark? If you enjoy this review, please…

Hey, relax guys! This week we give our thoughts on that new South Park episode, featuring Donald Trump and his tiny wiener. Just how important was this episode?

We had an Awesom-O time reviewing this week's episode, which sees Cartman become Butters' new robot friend. Remarkably, this story is more relevant now than it was 20 years ago, as we see the entertainment industry rely more and more on the use of AI in the creative process. We also discuss Parker and Stone's love of Michael Bay cliches, Dando wett…

Is this podcast so out of touch? No, it is the listeners who are wrong. SO much to love and discuss with this week's revisit of "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", from Freddy Quimby's "chowdah" tirade, Homer's "meow" thoughts, McGarnagle and plenty other iconic moments. We also discuss getting old, fake eBay bidders, Michael Madsen and much more! If you …

We rewatched "The Passion Of The Jew" 34 times and came to the conclusion that Mel Gibson is absolutely daffy! Well, that and Cartman is a despicable human being (but we already knew that). This episode is a fun little time capsule for those who lived through the release of Mel Gibson's record-setting film, along with the drama that came with it. W…

It's time to dish up some cold shoulder because this week we revisit the one where Homer is actually a good father...for the most part. Oh and Marge finds a sauna. There's actually three solid stories in here, however none of them are fleshed out to their fullest extent, so we do the heavy lifting and work out a case for each to be an entire episod…

South Park has been delayed due to the "shitshow" at Paramount, and our boys Parker and Stone are NOT happy! We also answer how South Park has held on to its "cool factor" after 27 years? Which Simpsons character could transition to South Park, and vice versa? Which character/vehicle would we select in a South Park racing game? Plus much more! List…

A little short on news this month, so we went for a super-sized mailbag instead! We discuss a potential "Bart vs Australia" sequel, which character could replace Moe, the legacy of The Simpsons if it ended after Season 10, the most hated Simpsons episodes and more! If you enjoy this review, please consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as …

It's time to prepare for the Special Olympics with the help of some "performance enhancers", courtesy of our pal, Nathan! That's right, this week we review the one where Cartman literally pretends to be differently-abled in order to enter the Special Olympics. Meanwhile, Jimmy suffers roid rage after taking some steroids, much to the dismany of Tim…

We discuss the "breaking news" that Marge Simpson has apparently been killed off. Yes, an episode that aired a month ago is only just now getting media attention for the purpose of clickbait.

Lisa gets dosed up on "happy pills" whilst Bart falls in love with (again), this time with Jenny, aka Anne Hathaway, leaving Milhouse feeling abandoned. The result? A pretty sweet story that sees Bart finally show some appreciation to his poindexter best friend. If anything, the Lisa b-plot could have been a full-episode with some heavy themes. A w…

It's time to dust of your martial arts weapons from the Far East and have some good times as we revisit the Season 8 premiere! A love letter to the anime boom of the early 2000s, here we see the boys get engrossed in their imagination as ninja warriors, leading to serious injury and public nudity (aka a waldrobe malfunction). We also discuss the Su…

Guy was away eating strawberries this week, so Dando is instead joined by his new co-host...Mr Black. Jokes aside, what a fun trip back to the episode that SHOULD have been the original Simpsons movie!

With Season 07 all wrapped up, we run through what we consider to be the best episode of the season, as well as what we thought of it overall.

Safe to say, this episode could have gone very pear-shaped, thankfully what we get is a lovely story between Moe and his (future) fiancée Maya. Does Moe deserve such happiness? Some may argue no, but those people clearly haven't watched this episode. We also discuss the new taking food into the cinema, the early days of Netflix, the new Lilo & Stit…

Which Simpsons character is our crush? Would we prefer to visit Springfield at day or night? How would we write a Simpsons/Bob's Burgers crossover episode?
