Back To The Futurama

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 permission. "Super Sunday" is provided by http://www.freesfx.co.uk.

When you go back in time to beat up your ancestor, you have to do it carefully unless you want to end up using the metric system! [spooky music plays]. That's just what Professor Farnsworth does in order to save his family name. Other talking points are... shark jumping and also a lot of time travel philosophy. You might also accidentally learn something about history in this episode! It's edutainment! Ben becomes a philosophy professor. Mike becomes Dilbert.

Fry sits on an egg and falls in love with it. A natural reaction. Then it turns out that it is a vicious monster with an attack of type J! Then hilarity ensues...? Meanwhile we discuss what our Scooby-Doo schemes would be if we were to do some Scooby-Doo schemes. Ben tells a tale of sauce packets. Mike falls in love with a chair.

We're talking about yet another TV show inside the TV show on this podcast where we talk about TV shows! Leela decides to get in on the great racket of selling drivel to kids, and gets results! Bender also becomes a tugboat and we can't stress that enough. Meanwhile, we talk about Doug and Legends of the Hidden Temple and possible causes for March Madness AND March Sadness. Ben gets an archaeology degree. Mike gets a sext grading rubric. Music at the end of the episode is "Super Sunday" and used with permission. "Super Sunday" is provided by http://www.freesfx.co.uk.

Guess what? We have nothing nice to say about this one. Hashtag spoilers. We hope you enjoy anyway. And we want you to know that we love you no matter who you are. Ben gives you icebreaking tips. Mike jumps 70 feet into the air.

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.

An ancient pact sealed long ago, in the ancient era of... 2927, means that Zoidberg must do the unthinkable. But will he be able to do it? Meanwhile, the Planet Express crew builds a giant murder machine. Other talking points are the worst role play ever and also pizza. An awful lot of pizza. Ben starts a newspaper. Mike reveals secrets about the forever pizza.

My God! It's full of Benders! We're inundated with Benders on today's episode. In fact, the Planet Express crew is also inundated with Benders. The whole wolrd is inundated with Benders! Bender seems fine with it. Other suggested talking points are meat cakes and... uh... butt marbles? Look, this episode goes some unexpected places, so we want to give you a warning ahead of time. Ben checks Zoidberg's Pinterest. Mike has a lot of questions.

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 Michael Winslow 2.0. Mike marries some parakeets for the inheritance.

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.

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.

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.

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 a lot. Meanwhile, Ben talks a lot about Taco Bell. A lot. Ben tries to get free food. Mike talks about A Christmas Story.

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 of underwater hotdog eating. Dictated but not read. Ben gets distracted by an orgy. Mike has a hotdog nightmare.

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.

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. Mike siwtches bodies with his dog.

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 and Aquaman may or may not be involved. Ben creates an artistic cat movie. Mike is looking for some witch's bwew.

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.

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 new team. Ben learns some information about Winamp. Mike reads "World's Bravest Hamsters."
