Back to the Futurama

Benderama

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.

The Tip of the Zoidberg

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.

Ghost in the Machines

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.

Neutopia

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.

Yo Leela Leela

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.

Fry Am The Egg Man

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.

All the Presidents' Heads

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.

Cold Warriors

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.

Overclockwise

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. Fry and Leela have some serious talks about their relationship that involves space busses.

Meanwhile, we also talk about computers a lot. It turns out we're HUGE NERDS. Who knew? Plus, you get the best story about an End User License Agreement you've ever heard.

Ben becomes an authority on something. Mike considers Futurama tattoos.

Reincarnation

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.
