The Prisoner of Benda

Back to the Futurama ·

2018/12/13

Look. This one gets messy. I don't know what to tell you. Everybody switches minds with everybody! Fry is Zoidberg! Leela is the Professor! The Professor is a daredevil robot called "Nonchalanto!" Romances are tested and hearts are broken and mathematics happen. We also talk about DVD audio commentaries (for things other than Futurama), invent a TV show that's just 3 shows smashed together, and question the future NBA. Ben switches bodies with The Rock.

That Darn Katz!

2018/11/29

Amy is finally defending her thesis to get her doctorate, but gets denied thanks to a cat. Then the cat causes a lot more mayhem. Turns out they have some nefarious schemes, who knew? Also we talk an awful lot about our own cats including an amusing story about a cat butthole! We know that's what you subscribe for. But we're not just talking about cats; we've also got the latest in Law & Order and Aquaman may or may not be involved. Ben creates an artistic cat movie. Mike is looking for some

The Late Philip J. Fry

Back to the Futurama ·

2018/11/22

Fry has more time travel shenanigans when he ends up stuck in the future. Leela assumes he's dead and gets really mad about it. Also Bender is there, so you know it's gonna be fun on a bun. As is our usual style, Ben gets awfully stuck on a thing not at all related to Futurama. In this case, it's pulling on the pull-em and pushing on the push-em and the pickls go into the jar. Mike tries to stop it but is unsuccessful. Ben gets fired from the pickle factory. Mike provides hambone context.

There's a mystery afoot! Secret plans for a secret device by Leonard da Vinci himself is discovered, and so it's of to Future-Roma to figure it all out!

Don't forget to check out the new fan group! It's at https://www.facebook.com/groups/278614799452772/ Ben would do anything for love. Mike won't do that.

Proposition Infinity

2018/10/11

We're back with more timely shows! This one is about /checks notes/ Proposition 8! But the 8 is flipped on its side so it's different. Bender and Amy do some hanky panky and want to get married. Hermes gets a virus. The professor pickles some weather. We also find more Jeremeys (or Jeremies?). We talk about the MOST ANNOYING RINGTONE THAT EVER EXISTED. There's... other stuff probably. It is late and I need to go to bed. Who remembers what this episode is about? Ben makes a political attack ad. Mike

In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela

Back to the Futurama ·

2018/09/21

This episode didn't go down smooth so we put it in a blender and then accidentally left the blender on for too long! Anyway, unsurprisingly we are not a fan of this episode of Futurama and therefore this episode of the podcast gets very weird. We're sorry! Unless you like in which case <zoidberg-voice>then it was all on purpose!</zoidberg-voice> Zapp and Leela get stuck on a planet and Earth also explodes probably. Ben invents invisible jet fanfiction. Mike is Tuba Neutral.

Rebirth

Back to the Futurama ·

2018/09/13

WOO HOO! FUTURAMA IS BACK! Do you remember the joy that came along with Futurama's triumphant return? Does it hold up after oh so many years away? The crew comes back except for Leela who is dead and that makes Fry sad. Bender is loaded up with many gigawatts of energy and needs to strut his stuff. Meanwhile, you are treated to a great(?) story about Ben's car and we come up with the greatest new TV show Fox never canceled, which has nothing to do with Ben's car. Ben does some DeLorean math.

We watched the first episode and we talk about what we like and what we don't, and what we are looking forward to in future episodes. Also, apologies for extra echo in this week's episode. The studio got re-arranged and there's an awful lot of echo. We'll work on it. Ben gets butterflies in his stomach. Mike is too humble for compliments.

2018/08/30

WE ARE FINALLY DONE WITH THESE MOVIES. We are also done with the environment! Or... are we done with the feministas? We don't really know and I guess we'll have to listen to this episode to find out which side of this debate we are on. Fry continues his quest to save the universe. The feministas have to escape from jail. Bender does... some stuff. Meanwhile we find out some legal jargon we were totally wrong about. (WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT LAWYERS). We all come up with a plan C.
