## Resource

It's time to suck the evil out of Guy and Dando with this week's review of "American History X-Cellent", an episode that sees Burns go to prison, Smithers take over the power plant, whilst Bart and Lisa raise an ant. A step up form last week, although at times it felt like the show was more interested in parodying prison films than actually telling a story. We discuss how the Burns and Smithers plots could have been their own episodes, the difference between The Shawshank Redemption and The Last Castle, the assassination of Grogu and more.
