Leela and the Genestalk

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/11/07

We're taking a look at the CONTROVERSIAL world of GENETIC ENGINEERING and also the somehow less controversial world of being a big ball of tentacles with a face. Leela is a big ball of tentacles with a face. Fry still loves her though. Not controversial. Meanwhile we talk an awful lot about left-handedness in cartoons and the best made up disease to have. We also contemplate the best condiment to put on a hat prior to eating it. Ben wishes to be the friction in your genes. Mike takes a look in a

Assie Come Home

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/10/31

What would you do if you had... ...no ass? Bender can't even begin to contemplate this after he gets his ass stolen out from under him. That's pretty much all this episode is about. It's about butts. We cannot lie about it. Ben and Mike talk about what their states are famous for and the scale of sexy vs. scary in Halloween costumes. And good sports team colors. It's another day at the Back to the Futurama factory. Ben eats Rocky Mountain oysters. Mike hails from a commonwealth.

Calculon 2.0

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/10/24

Have you ever brought technology back from the dead? (If so, drink!) Since Calculon is dead that's exactly what the Planet Express crew decides to do. Let's mess with ghosts and spirits and corpses. Also, Calculon is bad at acting as it turns out. Meanwhile, we savor the senioritis of the final run of this podcast. Stay Sassy. Love You Like A Brother. I wrote in your crack.

Saturday Morning Fun Pit

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/10/10

What's the best part of Saturday morning? Watching cartoons, of course. So this is a podcast about a cartoon watching cartoons. If that's not meta enough for you, get the heck out of here. It's a Scooby-Doo ripoff and a Smurfs ripoff and a G.I. Joe ripoff all in one! We also talk an awful lot about cereal in this one. Also a chicken that should not be eaten. And too much breakfast to be eaten. Ben eats some bacons. Mike forms a breakfast factory union.

The Inhuman Torch

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/10/03

Let's say you get accused of being a serial arsonist instead of an incredible hero. What do you do? How do you clear your name? That's the challenge Bender has to face. Meanwhile, we have to deal with challenges of our own, like the Game of Life and... uh... arson I guess. And our inability to play as Bender in Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. Or where to store a baby while trying to eat two different festival foods. Life is hard. Ben turns into Red Forman. Mike opens an account at a vampire bank.

Fry and Leela's Big Fling

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/09/12

This episode would make for great listening in the coital-adjacent times in your secluded couple's retreat. Unless SHAWN shows up with his saxophone. Also you may or may not be in a zoo. That's... basically the entire plot to this episode. Be prepared for jazz noodling. We spend the rest of the episode getting dunked on in a live chat and talking about baboon butts. Thanks to Matt and Laura for being patreon supporters and also dunking on us and sending us a lot of baboon butt pictures while we

T.: The Terrestrial

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/09/05

When Fry gets stranded on a strange planet full of the dankest lettuce, he of course befriends a child and eats turds. None of that is a typo. Buckle up. Meanwhile, we talk about Mike's strangest fears and one of Ben's favorite video games and take an interesting look at the age old theory that men are from a different planet and women are from yet another different planet. Ben orders a clone from Amazon Prime. Mike considers pooping outside.

2-D Blacktop

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/08/29

The professor joins a street racing gang, Leela gets a minivan, there's a 2-D world. There's a lot going on here. Let's try to unpack it all, which will be easier to do in a 2-D space! Or... harder? I'm not sure how it works. Meanwhile we talk about Osmosis Jones for some reason and Die Hard for some reason and Speed Buggy... but there's a reason we talk about Speed Buggy. There's a lot going on on our end, too. Ben does serious Speed Buggy research. Mike experiences osmosis with interesting

Forty Percent Leadbelly

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/08/22

How does folk music get made? Is it 3D printed? You can 3D print anything these days, right? Anyways, Bender tries to 3D print some folk. I think that's the point of this episode. Ben makes a Wikipedia edit. Mike makes a Hamilton edit.

Naturama

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/08/16

This one is a weird one as we see what it would be like if the PlanEx crew were all... uh... salmon and turtles and seals. You read that right. Ben has seen pornos that start this way. Mike changes his punctuation to 14 point.

Viva Mars Vegas

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/08/09

Everybody put on your heisting caps, because we're going on a heist! The crew needs to steal 8 million dollars and a mysterious box from the robot mafia's casino.

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/08/01

The crew's new uniforms are ruined! But Bender doesn't care; he just takes up an exciting new hobby of hunting and brutally murdering foxes. THIS WILL BE FINE. The crew attempts to thwart his new hobby, anyway. Meanwhile, we talk about, uh... strip clubs? And also we talk about how to design amazing uniforms for when you're not stripping. Ben makes a last minute alteration. Mike watches a movie.

Near-Death Wish

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/07/25

The professor's parents come back. As you might expect, they are extremely old. Also, the professor hates them for some reason, so we'll all have to dig into that. We also say some jazz about podcast awards and Greg the Bunny. Do you remember that show? Seth Green, please tweet @backtofuturama and let's start a Greg the Bunny podcast. Billy Crystal may or may not be involved. We maybe drag J.K. Rowling a bit? Ben is four times faster than USB-C. Mike gets retconned.

Free Will Hunting

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/07/18

Robots are just a jumbled pile of programming that do whatever the heck their programming tells them to. That include Bender, the lovable rascal! But what if Bender wanted to get free will? That's what we explore in this episode that is definitely not talking about Good Will Hunting. That's a different thing. Ben starts an improv school. Mike goes into debt.

Fun on a Bun

It's July! And that means it's time for our nations favorite holiday, waiting for three months and then going to Germany for a respectful Oktoberfest! Bender gets involved in a sausage competition! Fry gets involved in Neanderthal society! Ben gets involved in saying "penis" an awful lot. We were talking about sausages, it was bound to happen. Ben gives a German lesson.

The Six Million Dollar Mon

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/07/04

Let's face it, we would all love to get some cool robotic upgrades, whether it be a chest harpoon or an extendo-arm or even a Cylon-dong. But if you actually had the back-alley surgeon to do it, would you? Hermes does and he has to deal with the consequences. We, meanwhile, go on quite a thing about how everybody is trying to be Game of Thrones, including Futurama. And that of course goes into a whole thing about Sean Bean. Why wouldn't it? Ben does the mash. Mike notes it was a graveyard smash.

The Butterjunk Effect

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/06/28

If a murderfly flaps its wings on the Moon, does a hurricane hit the Earth? No, it really just pummels Amy and Leela a lot. This sentence I just typed makes perfect sense. Also there are drugs involved. Don't do drugs. Or do. We're not your parents. Ben also gloats a lot about being Ben. Did you know he's Ben and he has done a lot of stuff in his life? He will tell you about it. He also has a not at all crazy theory about Al Gore time traveling. Ben writes a book. Mike gets surprised by Y.

Zapp Dingbat

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/06/20

What happens when your mom starts dating your ex? Also, it wasn't your ex, it was just some dude you had sex with a few times? And also, they end up getting engaged? Well, if you can't imagine what you'd do, let's take a look at what Leela does. Meanwhile, Fry and Bender surf in the sewers with Leela's dad. Cowabunga, dude! We also talk about what the best sewers to surf in would be, and Detective Pikachu (again) and expectations for the new Sonic movie (or Sanic movie?), and we spend way too much

The Thief of Baghead

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/06/13

Bender gets a new job getting pictures of Spider-Man... I mean, celebrities. And it brings him on an ultimate quest to get the un-photographable photograph and kills a few friends in the process. Meanwhile at Back to the Futurama studios, we're talking about the World Acting Competition. We get sued by Meat Loaf... maybe again? It's possible we've done that bit once before. Ben makes a vampire callback. Mike demands pictures of Spider-Man.

Decision 3012

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/06/06

Election season already? But the problem is all the candidates are the same collection of sound bites. But what if... what if there was a great candidate who was definitely probably born on Earth and also maybe from the future? Would you vote for him or would you vote for Nixon? Meanwhile, we talk about space vampires and sexy ghosts. And if that doesn't get you to listen then I don't know how to sell you this podcast any better. Ben waits 5 and a half minutes for a hot dog. Mike drags Andrew
