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…

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! We discuss the crazy premiere, Parker and Stone's SDCC panel and answer some questions including "what are our favourite South Park songs?", "does South Park appeal to younger viewers in 2025?" and more.

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? What does it mean for South Park's future? How will Donald Trump respond? Let's discuss. LISTEN on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fzFQbj LISTEN on Apple - apple.co/4fCJmBv WATCH on YouTube - bit.ly/so…

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…

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! Kamp Krusty may indeed be the "krustiest" place on Earth, however this review is anything but.We discuss Homer and Marge's subplot, school camp memo…

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…

Homer and Marge are getting married...AGAIN! Except this time it's genuinely for the right reasons. Homer is honestly so likeable in this episode that it almost feels like damage-control against the "Jerkass" tag. On top of that, we also getting a really fun SAW parody. A pleasant surprise! If you enjoy this review, please consider supporting us on…

In order to save Ike from those damn Canadians, the boys head off a Christmas Adventure in this somewhat average season finale. Whilst the Wizard Of Oz parody was fine, it just didn't quite live up to the standard set this season. We discuss the real-life capture of Saddam, our favourite Chinese meals, some Wizard Of Oz conspiracies and more. Suppo…

One of the all-time great Marge episodes that sees her take a chance on herself and join the Springfield police force.

We also discuss the "car hole" vs "car hold" debate, how Herman managed to conduct illegal activities …

Hi sweetie! Thanks for coming to Raisins! Honestly, Raisins isn't even the best part about this episode, since this is also the debut of the Goth Kids! So much to love as Wendy falls OUT of love with Stan and breaks up with him. Meanwhile, Butters is suckered in by a friends waitress. We also discuss our first romantic heartbreak, the early days of…

Dia duit! That's right this week we' gathered our lucky charms and and visited O'Flanagan's pub in Ireland for a pint or two, and boy are we glad that we did because this is arguably the best Simpsons vacation episode since Bart vs Australia. Al Jean said the intention was to produce a love letter to Ireland and they succeeded. A really fun story t…

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US SEASON TWO! Rob Reiner tries to get South Park to "butt out" by using the boys in a smear campaign against Big Tobacco. Safe to say, Guy does not sanction such buffoonery. One of the most interesting episodes in that it's very clear which side Trey and Matt sit on when it comes to anti-smoking campa…

One of the most enjoyable Simpsons episodes in years. An absolute delight for anyone who enjoys a good problem-solving mystery, as the show pays tribute to the likes of The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure and more. Just a really fun episode that you can sit down and watch as a family. We also discuss the use of the use of HD technology and whether…

Another fantastic episode that pokes fun at Mormonism (with tongue firmly in …

Not only is this episode's story a showcase for just how despicable The Simpsons have become, but it also features arguably the darkest and bleakest moment in the history of the show. Basically, Homer blows the family's savings and they lose their house, Flanders buys it and rents it back to them, but soon evicts them after they abuse his generousi…

We also discuss Dando's love of the band 'Creed', the thrill of …

Call Mr. Gocs, that's his name, that name again is Mr. Gocs! That's right, the hilarious Aaron Gocs joined us this week to review the classic "Mr. Plow".

If you think Juliette was insane with her visions of Equalia, perhaps you should take a look at the writers for even conjuring this episode together in the first place. An absolute stinker that never seemed to know what it was, or even what it wanted to be, which is unfortunate because there were several interesting directions that could've been ta…

CAUTION! This week's episode is filled with stingers AND zingers as we tackle 'The Burns and the Bees', an episode that kinda just feels, "there". Apparently the fate of the world's bees falls on Lisa's shoulders (well, her face) and nobody seems to care besides her. Meanwhile Mr. Burns looks to Marc Cuban on how a billionaire can have fun AND be r…
