Back to the Futurama

Obsoletely Fabulous

We're getting an upgrade this week as we learn to deal with our new coworkers who are better than us in every way. And we're also talking about the time Bender gets stuck on a deserted island. Bring your 10 best desert island discs.

We also pretend we have a sponsor. And pretend we're a clip show pretending to not be a clip show. We promise 100% it is not a clip show.

Ben has some sweet potato liqueur. Mike manages to do your job before saving your life.

The Farnsworth Parabox

Featuring James from Unabashedly Obsessed

Flip a coin; heads you listen to this podcast and tails you don't. Think about how unfortunate it is that there's a you in an alternate dimension who didn't get to listen to this episode. How sad for you in the Mongoose universe!

We're talking with James, the other half of Unabashedly Obsessed (unabashedlyobsessed.com) as we talk about parallel universes, sweaty boot rash, ideal podcast guests, great senior quotes for the yearbook, and an accidental rant about another TV show (who is surprised?)

Find James on Twitter at @unabashedjames and check out all his podcasts!

Ben is silver. Mike is gold.

Three Hundred Big Boys

Featuring Amity Armstrong

What would you do if you got a crooked $300 tax refund right now? You know you'd spend it on coffee, and we think that's a good choice.

We also talk about Rosanne, Shania Twain, naked bike rides, marine biology, and art.

Ben's secrets get revealed. Mike learns about the Mid-Atlantic accent.

Spanish Fry

Having some trouble with your love life? Why not try the most appealing aphrodisiac of all: listening to two idiots on the internet making jokes about dongs.

If you're not into that, we also talk about The Scary Door, "Just Friends Spooning", Windows screensavers, Bigfoot, that thing dogs do where they spin around before lying down, and questionable songs. Frankly, if nothing this episode turns you on, we have failed.

Ben plays bass for Wang Coffin. Mike finally crosses the line.

The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings

Featuring Kate from Subverted Tropes

Here we are, the end of an era. Before the reboots, this is where it all ended. That's all she wrote, until she wrote more.

BEN FINALLY GETS DUNKED ON. WHAT? So does New Jersey (we are less surprised by that). We find out Mike does a pretty good impression. We find out there are definitely real deleted scenes with Alanis Morissette and find out what irony truly is (it was in our hearts all along).

Don't forget to check out our guest Kate's podcast at https://subvertedtropescast.podbean.com/

Ben is bad and he should feel bad. Mike parties like the Greeks of old.

Seasons 1-4: The Recap

Woah! We finished the original run! We get a little self-congratulatory for that, but we also talk about why we love Futurama and our hopes and fears for the movies and beyond.

We also talk about... uh... Frysier. Just... I can't explain it. Sorry.

Also, we have a Patreon page now! If you want to support us, you can throw money at us over at patreon.com/backtofuturama.

Ben talks a lot about Frasier. Mike is the duct tape holding this podcast together.

Bender's Big Score Part 1

FUTURAMA IS BACK, BABY! But after a few years away, does it hold up? We're going to find out.

We also talk about Family Guy and its influence, butts, Olympic medals in various sports, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, spam ads, and much more!

Ben gets on a soapbox. Mike needs to be more rad.

Bender's Big Score Part 2

Time travel gets weird and it's about to get weirder. Multiple instances of everybody? Bender needs to pee? SEYMOUR LIVES?

We also talk about what would happen if you woke up and there was a clone of yourself, Renaissance painters, levels of doom, levels of Doom, and tired old jokes about the year 2000 election.

Ben buys one gallon of gas. Mike brings some bubble solution.

Bender's Big Score Part 3

Everything just keeps getting worse as the scammers keep scamming everything. We find out some more stuff about time travel. A wedding may or may not happen.

There's a whole rant about Family Guy (surprise! Bet you didn't see that one coming). We talk about what the heck a narwhal actually is. We use a lot of Torgo's Executive Powder.

Ben gets an Executive Producer credit. Mike considers the consequences of butt touching.

Bender's Big Score Part 4

We're wrapping up on the last part of the first Futurama movie. MORE time travel ensues! Things get even more confusing! Things are REVEALED

Also we talk about jumping sharks. And which amendments are for your right to party. THERE IS ALSO A SURPRISING M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN PLOT TWIST. We invent a new kind of server farm. Zapp makes questionable decisions.

Ben takes off his glasses and becomes sexy. Mike forgets what he told his wife.
