In The Name Of The Grandfather (S20E14)
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 that sees Homer and Abe buy an Irish pub and ignore the no-smoking laws.We also discuss Colin Farrell, the 1970s comic series GASM, the use of the word "bog" and more.If you enjoy this review, please consider supporting us on Patreon for as little as $1 per month at patreon.com/fourfingerdiscountListen on Spotify - spoti.fi/4fDcSY0Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4dgpW3ZCHAPTERS:3:30 - Dando's kittens keep stepping in poop5:50 - Is the best Simpsons "go to" episode since Bart vs Australia?9:20 - Nicola likes the Irish accent16:00 - They didn't use the Irish "drunk" stereotype24:20 - FAVOURITE MOMENTS31:40 - TRIVIA32:30 - The use of the word "bog"39:54 - STONECUTTER SHOUTOUTS41:26 - EPISODE RUN THROUGH45:00 - orgasm46:00 - Guy's journey with the GASM comics54:00 - Disposing of hard rubbish is the best58:00 - Murder Incorporated01:02:00 - Cooking homemade vegetable soup with Nan01:16:14 - Colin Farrell01:20:18 - 90s sports logos are iconic01:34:15 - What Did You Learn?01:34:40 - New NamesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/four-finger-discount-simpsons-podcast--5828977/support.
