The Bots and the Bees

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/05/23

We're back for the final season of Futurama! We start off by answering the question we've always had, if we're going to be honest: where do robot babies come from? We were just too embarrassed to ask. Bender probably was too, because he didn't know and now he's got a kid. WARNING: This episode is very heavy on Bens. But why are we warning you? Bens are great. Meanwhile we try to get in on some of that Detective Pikachu money (badly) and we also figure out a great way to fill in all those Game of

Reincarnation

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/05/02

Futurama is a product of the early 2000s in America, but what if it were actually a 40s cartoon? Or a video game? Or from Japan? We find out in this rather bizarre setup in which those things happen. Meanwhile, we talk a lot about video games. It was bound to happen considering how much video game stuff was in here. Also, Ben is in chill-mode so we talk about like... daiquiris or somesuch. Ben cranks up the chill knob. Mike goes to the multiverse.

We would all love to be smarter and faster, but what if we could do that thing I just said because we were all robots? That's exactly what Bender does in this tech tale.

Cold Warriors

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/04/18

We regret to inform you that our noses are gunked up with blork... is what we'd be saying if we had the common cold. In our day, it's so common that it's... well, called "the common cold," but in the year 3012? Not so much! Meanwhile, we make more King of the Hill references (mostly Ben does this) and we get a little bit real about some father-son bonding. Ben wants to tell you what. Mike remembers a terrifying nightmare tunnel. Music at the end of the episode is "Super Sunday" and used with

Bad news, everybody! Bender is dead. And on top of that, he's haunting Fry with intent to kill. We also ask important questions about the future like "what's with the pineapple vending machine?" and "what was Leela's wrist thingy called again?" Speaking of death, we contemplate the death of Flash. Some say it's about time, and that includes both of us. Ben drives a delivery hearse. Mike wants pineapples wants pineapples for cheap.

Mobius Dick

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/02/07

What is obsession? Is it making sure the job gets done? Is it hunting proverbial white whales? Is it hunting actual for real white whales who are also in space and traverse 4 dimensions? Leela finds out on this episode, and that means you do, too! We also talk about doing things backwards, kinda. We also discuss the best flavor of grief popsicles. And of course, we always knew what a "widow's walk" was! ALWAYS. Ben becomes a macho man. Mike becomes a sexy forklift.

The Silence of the Clamps

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/01/31

What would you do if you witnessed the worst clamping that ever clamped? Would you hide on a moon or in a pizza place? And what if if was actually your friend who witnessed the clamping? You'd probably be sad. Luckly you made a new friend (who has some clamps) to pass the time. Also, Ben and Mike discuss Malcom in the Middle and cake and meatballs (not together! ew!) and the Food Network. And I guess this episode. Ben makes contentious cake choices. Mike possibly married a robot.

Back to the Futurama ·

2019/01/24

What happens when one cohost watches the right episode and one cohost watches the wrong episode? Tune into this special episode to find out! We make conjectures as to why networks air episodes out of order. We make sure we know what the definition of "right" is. We talk about other podcasts and of course, we talk about Podcon. This one's kind of a disaster. Remember to always trust your spreadsheets. Ben fudges up. Mike acts like a hero.

lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences

Back to the Futurama ·

2018/12/20

Every couple gets into arguments from time to time, but most don't end with conquering Earth. Luckily for viewers of this fine program and unlucky for us, Lrr and Ndnd are not just any couple. They DEFINE "power couple." Fry also goes on a whole weird side plot about comics. Meanwhile we admit we don't do much research (I know you are shocked) and also tell fun stories about flamable substances and weird sleep actions. Ben chooses Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr. Mike chooses Consequences.
