This log is your log! Lisa joins an environmentalist group and moves into a giant tree to stop it being logged. Mild amusement ensues. Rob and Andy recorded this hours before they were due to be hit by a killer cyclone bearing down on them like a shotgun full of... rain. [Synopis at 6:40]
On this episode of NMD, Rob and Andy branch out and tackle Season 27, Episode 9 "Barthood". This epsiode presented very different themes for Rob, Andy, and many of our listeners, but overall a great representation of a present-era Simpsons episode. Enjoy!

On this week's episode, Bart finds a way into an Indian casino and is shown a rather unflattering vision of his future. Bart is a broke, untalented musician mooching off anyone and everyone, where as Lisa is the President of the USA. We also have a delightful B plot of Homer searching for Lincoln's gold. The spirits much have thought the main vision was a little thin...Enjoy!

Burns goes off to the Mayo clinic to discover that he is "indestructable" leaving the Simpsons to housesit. Predictably, Homer takes Burns's boat out to international waters for a booze cruise / monkey knife fight. It was kind of impossible to not stray into politics given that since the last podcast Joe Biden has apeared senile on debate stage, Trump got shot and Biden withdrew from the race. [Synopsis at 25:40] Next ep will be on 18 August 2024.

Enjoy!
Not the Jay Sherman episode (as we falsely advertised last week) but the ep where Homer becomes a food critic and ends up being nearly murdered by Springfield's criticised restaurateurs. Bonkers premise but lots of laughs. [Synopsis at 7:50]
On this week's episode, Bart is causing chaos which almost results in his expulsion from school. He is given an experimental drug named Focusyn in an attempt to curb his rambunctious behaviour, which initially works, however quickly sends his down a path of paranoia and erratic behaviour.

Homer goes to a test screening of Mel Gibson's latest movie, provides non-constructive criticism and for some reason Mel and Homer form an unlikely friendship and ruin the movie. Rob gives some Mad Max tid bits relevant to this episode. Also happy Australia Day! [synopsis at 11:40]
