Back to the Futurama

Planet Espresso

Hell Yeah Brother Yeah

Hermes follows in his dad's footsteps by leaving his family to harvest that dank Jamaican... coffee. And Planet Express becomes Planet Espresso (hey! That's the name of the episode!)

Meanwhile, we're talking about the things people are obsessed with that we just don't get, and also talk about Twin Peaks an awful lot considering neither one of us has really watched it. Stay tuned for Twin to the Peakarama coming this winter! (This will not be happening.)

Don't forget, we're sending out stickers to anybody who donates $5 or more to any of the organizations listed in this article to help with hurricane relief: BPR News — Ways to donate and help flood victims in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene

Ben considers becoming a Twin Peaks Guy. Mike sells an ad to Dunkin Donuts.

Who Grifts the Grifters, Baby? You Do.

Amy gets heavily into the world of collecting Fuzzy Funbags, a clear Beanie Babies analog, and she does it at the expense of her own children and some orphans. This probably also happened with Beanie Babies in the 90s, just don't think too hard about it! Also, a bunch of different DOOP bases have had a strange number of deaths that is probably not related. Just don't think too hard about it!

Meanwhile we're reinventing Pod Decks and trying to start a new Pod Deck Cast. Sorry?

Ben throws out some baseball cards. Mike buys some tulips.

The Futurama Mystery Liberry

It Can Crank Anything

It's an anthology episode! Hooray(?) We're looking at three different mysteries: Lancy Trew, FryFry, and Wikipedia Brown. It's... certainly an episode of television.

Meanwhile, we're talking about infinite tacos vs. infinite sushi, whether or not cream cheese soda would be good, whether the rest of the world thinks we're weird for chili, and many more!

Also! Ben was on an episode of The Great and Secret Knowledge, talking about the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz! You can check it out here: https://greatandsecretknowledge.libsyn.com/the-wizard-of-oz-1939-with-ben-mooney

Ben likes his cream cheese soda. Mike chooses Big Pink.

Otherwise

Grind Culture at the Ship Graveyard

This is it. It's over. The Planet Express Ship is dead and so is the show. (Not really. There will be more episodes to come next season!)

Fry experiences Deja Vu. Not really. It's somehow all the things that were and could be and also a ghost ship of the Planet Express ship. I feel a little bit like I'm typing nonsense into this episode description, but am I wrong about any of it? No.

Meanwhile, we're talking about things I'm pretty sure the PodDecks have given us before, the perils of a rewatch show turning into a recap show, how we can't remember what we even had for breakfast, and more!

Ben fails upward. Mike shows some ass respect.

Season 9 Wrapup

Warning: May Summon Beetlejuice

The first order of Hulu episodes is done, and we're here to give our thoughts about it. What did we like? Did we like things? Let's find out.

See you in season 10! Or season 13. Whatever it is we hope you're there.

Ben turns neutral. Mike turns the camera on society.
