Back to the Futurama

We're going to the police academy! No, don't worry, we didn't say we're going to watch the movie Police Academy. Fry decides he needs a career change and become a TIME COP. Meanwhile, Bender tries to heist something, so the status is quo. Other talking points in this episode are... uh... genitals. And great (horror) movies to watch on Valentine's Day! This episode was maybe a mistake. Ben becomes...

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...

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 gu...

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 spreadshee...

We're talking three different holidays in the Futurama Holiday Spectacular! Fry wants to revive the true meaning of Xmas to make it feel more like Christmas with a tree that is coniferous. Bender wants to celebrate the holiest six weeks in the robot calendar with some sexy oil wrestling. Hermes and family want to impart the wisdom of Kwanzaa but need beeswax for the candles. Also Al Gore is there...

Futurama's 100th Episode! Not our episode 100 though. But Bender decides to celebrate that MILESTONE by throwing a party! And Leela gets banished to the sewers when she's outed as a mutant. There's a lot of Titanic references. Meanwhile, Mike promises to watch Titanic under certain conditions and Ben tries to get a slew of famous guests. We talk about bureaucratic love languages and the logistics...

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 an...

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 qu...

Let's talk a little bit about differences of opinion between science and creationism. And by that I definitely mean "here's a lot of information about Ask Jeeves. Oh right, so the Professor flies off to an asteroid and accidentally creates robo-life. Zoidberg attempts to be the best dang father he can be. Ben gets in legal trouble again. Mike eats a baseball glove.

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...

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 i...

We're back for episode number 100! We're excited to be here. So excited, that we mostly talk about The Rock in this episode. But meanwhile, Bender has to come to terms with his own mortality, and he does that by trying to get revenge. Yes, it's a rare Bender and Hermes joint adventure. Also, Leela gets into some trouble. Let us know what your Darth name would be and if you want to join The Rock's...

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! Also, we try to come up with a new slogan for Back to the Futurama and accidentally start another podcast. How many does that make for us now? Holy wow. We have a lot of fake podcasts. Don't forget to check out the new fan group! It's at https://w...

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 a...

We're back with the latest in eyePhone technology! Come along with us as we twit our twupdates and sing songs from Les Mis. We also talk way too much about toilets. Way too much. And toilet humor. Sorry. And goat vomit. Also sorry. And butt boils. Sorry again. Look this episode is not as gross as it sounds. Ben resists talking about the Sims. Mike starts a Catdog podcast.

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...

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...

For our season break we are talking about the brand new Matt Groening show, Disenchantment! 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. Mik...

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 to...

The eco-feminists are growing and causing more havoc. The giant miniature golf course is growing and destroying more environment. Meanwhile, Mike writes some limericks, so strap in for... something. Another episode of Back to the Futurama, I guess. We also talk about Duran Duran, voices so good they could kill, miniature golf ball colors, and business propositions. Ben picks a miniature golf ball...

It's time for giant miniature golf! But in order to do it, we need to wipe out 12% of the galaxy. No biggie, right? Oh also Fry's whole mind-reading plot gets deeper. Much deeper. Meanwhile, Ben and Mike decide to reboot some movies into TV, talk Jeopardy!, talk about how bad they are at sports, find the definition of "Golf Pants," and so much more! Ben is scientist approved. Mike wins big at Jeop...

We're taking a trip to Mars Vegas! Start putting those quarters in slots and counting cards or whatever you do when you are in Vegas! We've never been, so we don't know. The Planet Express crew are also in Vegas! MARS Vegas, that is! A poker tournament and an ilicit affair take the center stage. We also accidentally realize we are a Portlandia sketch (please don't sue us). We talk about stacking b...

The grand conclusion of an epic adventure and also a very long infomercial for a knife with a real staghorn handle. Yes that's right, it's Bender's Game Part 4, where all youre questions will be answered. Also, we talk about Pokémon again (DANG IT). We tell stories about debate. We create a new children's book. We talk about the futility of that stupid game where you throw bean bags into a tic-tac...

Today we're transported to the wonderful land of D&D! Gather ye swords and ye spells and get ye flask. ROLL FOR INITIATIVE! Also we talk Pokémon quite a bit. And legal cases in Pokémon Court. We talk about cats and their various eating gross things and vomiting escapades. And of course, we provide the great spelling tips you obviously subscribed to this podcast for. Ben meets Aerosmith. Mike s...

We tried to type up good show notes for this episode but they kept getting ruined by JEREMY. C'mon, man! What the hell? The Planet Express crew looks for a MgGuffin and an anti-McGuffin. Nerds play D&D. Bender is still under a belief that he is Titanius Anglesmith, Fancyman of Cornwood. And meanwhile we are too busy talking about Jeremy. Always Jeremy. Ben has tea with titans. Mike pretends he...
