A Taste of Freedom

Back to the Futurama ·

2018/01/18

We start this episode asking some hard hitting questions, but we promise it's relevant to the episode. Zoidberg eats a flag and people get up in arms about it. The only flags harmed in this episode are made up, fictional flags, we cannot stress that enough.It's Freedom Day, though, so do what you want! Listen to this podcast or don't! Personally, I felt like not writing a very good episode description. Freedom!Ben starts a very specific radio station. Mike becomes Zoidberg.The jazz track used in

Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch

Back to the Futurama ·

2017/12/21

Ah, the birds and the bees, where bees fall in love and their skin turns into a semi-permeable membrane for the exchange of DNA with birds. Wait, that's how it works, right?Aside from yet another gross tale of alien mating habits, we talk a surprising amount about Jean-Ralphio from the TV show Parks & Recreation.

Future Stock

Back to the Futurama ·

2017/11/30

This week's episode is coated in the dazzling veneer of the 1980s. We're talking a lot about money and business and lot of things Ben specifically doesn't understand.We also come up with an interesting theory about Matt Groening, ask a favor of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the timely humor of ballot jokes from 2000.And of course, The Safety Dance.Ben isn't looking at the big picture.

Anthology of Interest II

Back to the Futurama ·

2017/11/09

"What if" is always a dangerous question to ask, which is why we're doing it again in part 2 (electric boogaloo). Be forewarned: when you listen to this, you can't unlisten to this.We also talk about emotions, and how to tell if a person is really a human, and laugh a lot about video game references. We talk about how to reverse things (which involves doing things in reverse), inflatable coconut guns, Bender spinoffs... what don't we talk about? It's a non-canonical episode so all bets are off.Ben

A Pharaoh to Remember

Back to the Futurama ·

2017/11/02
