Quids Game

Back to the Futurama ·

2024/08/13

It's Fry's birthday! And instead of the two hours of staring into the void like he wants, he instead gets a surprise birthday party re-enacting all his childhood trauma. We watch basically everybody die as they compete to survive here in the Quids Game. We also talk about which celebrity chef we would like to cook us a meal and we cover the wide world of knockoff Dr Peppers. Ben is not a real doctor, but he is a real worm, he is an actual worm. Mike does his best to avenge Kif.

The One Amigo

Back to the Futurama ·

2024/08/06

It's 2024, so obviously Futurama is talking about the hottest new thing on the internet... NFTs? Yeah, I was as surprised as you were. Anyway. Somehow that leads to Bender going to Mexico in order to reconnect with his familia, the PlanEx crew plans a daring NFT art heist. But you can't steal an NFT because something something I don't know and honestly don't care. Meanwhile we're talking about house guests, Caesar salads, and the Monster with 21 Faces.

Intermission Theater Presents: UHF

Back to the Futurama ·

2024/01/23

While we wait for Futurama to return, we take a break and talk about the 1989 Weird Al film UHF. Obviously, Mike likes it, but what does Ben think? What is a UHF anyway? Ben demands plot relevancy in his sandwiches. Mike is in his natural element.

All the Way Down

Back to the Futurama ·

2023/10/03

The Professor's simulation makes the crew ask a very important question: are they, themselves, part of a larger simulation? The answer is a big-ass shrug. Maybe. Maybe not. Meanwhile, we are talking about the Monty Hall Problem, The Sims, failure to name things in D&D, and so much more! Ben looks for the ghost of Brenda. Mike remembers Steevarooni.

The Prince and the Product

Back to the Futurama ·

2023/09/26

On a delivery to the space king, the Planet Express crew is repeatedly interrupted by commercials where the Planet Express crew is toys for some reason. We get Windos. We get Round Wheels. We get Eggulons. What is not to love? Well...... a lot actually. Meanwhile we're talking about famous celebrity voices, the worst fighting game of all time, the ship of Theseus, and it's all in your podfeeds. What a deal! Collect all 158. Ben gets a plaque. Mike buys toys for his children.

Zapp Gets Canceled

Back to the Futurama ·

2023/09/19

As the title suggests, Zapp gets canceled. But mostly this episode is that Leela gets a new job as the Doop captain of the Nimbus. And then she goes to visit aliens in a bucket to try to peace treaty all their air away. If that doesn't make sense, you didn't see the episode I guess. Ben gives a lesson on 2006 viral videos. Mike gets the only worthwhile writing advice from Clippy.

Rage Against the Vaccine

Explovid 23 hits the scene and it's making everybody angry! It's... the pandemic episode. I don't know what to say about it. But hey, Bonebot is here and he's serving up bone puns. Ben is watching indie movies based on location. Mike releases new anti-Dr-Banjo merch.

I Know What You Did Next Xmas

Back to the Futurama ·

2023/09/05

Professor Farnsworth goes back in time to make Santa NOT kill everybody. Meanwhile, Zoidberg and Bender have to try to hide a corpse. Everybody is having a wonderful Xmas time. We also talk turducken and Paul McCartney. Which is I guess ironic because he's a vegetarian. Oh well. Ben apologizes. Mike apologies for nothing.

Children of a Lesser Bog

Back to the Futurama ·

2023/08/08

It's been 20 years in the making, but Kif and Amy's kids emerge from the swamp. Axl, Mandy, and little what's his name are here and they grow incredibly attached to... Leela? It makes for some drama as Amy questions her value as a parent. Kif also blows up a lot of bears. And there's a plot about honey candy. Don't ask me, I didn't write it. Meanwhile, we're talking about laughing at funerals and farting during weddings, the return of the WIDOW'S WALK, and the peril of forgetting names. Ben starts a

The Impossible Stream

Good news, everyone! Futurama is back on Hulu and they're talking about Fulu bringing back All My Circuits! It is meta! So. There's that. We talk about what we liked and what we didn't. We talk a little bit about Johnny 2 Cellos in this one and honestly, if you like us you ought to give him a watch over on YouTube! He covers Futurama and a bunch of our other favorite animated shows, too. Find him at https://www.youtube.com/@Johnny2Cellos Ben copies some homework. Mike introduces a new bit.

Meanwhile

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/12/05

This is it. It's the last one. We're talking about the last Futurama episode and it is called "Meanwhile" and we liked it. Fry and Leela finally get some quality time together. Maybe too much time? No, no it's just the right amount of time. Meanwhile (heh, get it?) we talk about the English language melting, Cornface dot com, marriage proposals, and y'know... feelings. Feelings about the end of the TV series we love so much. Ben becomes time-ified spaghetti. Mike feels challenged by hot surfers.

Stench and Stenchibility

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/11/28

It stinks! Wait, what is this, a podcast where we talk about the television series, The Critic? No, sir! This is Futurama land. But it does stink because Zoidberg makes it stink. But he also finds love. Somehow. Through all the stink. It's a lot to process. Also a B-plot involving a joke well past its prime. Meanwhile we are talking about the hot new trend in Phoenix, Arizona that should definitely be called the Orange Joe. This episode is brought to you by http://www.tcbcrochet.com/ for your

Game of Tones

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/11/14

An evil tone is going to destroy the planet why not? But that's not important, because most of this episode is hanging out in Fry's dreams. Or memories. Or dream memories. It's not totally clear, but it does mean he can't go to the Booby Tuesday's. Ben, meanwhile, does the important business of pointing out that popcorn is a SCAM. That's the kind of thing they'd say "Hey you'll want to check out this important thing on the news tonight but we're going to wait until after sports." Also, Mike talks
