Back to the Futurama

The Beast With a Billion Backs Part 1

A rift has opened in spacetime, and your friendly Back to the Futurama hosts are here to help you through this trying time. Fry finds love and Kif and Amy find more love and we also talk about the Oregon Trail video game for some reason.

We also talk about proper wedding etiquette (warning: we are probably wrong). We find out about a new band accidentally on this week's Hot 40.

Ben talks to a giant medium-sized ant. Mike is the Sausage Man.

The Beast With a Billion Backs Part 2

We're back in a brand new studio and we're talking about part 2 of another movie! Fry gets sad and tries to leave forever. Something really terrible happens to Kif. Zapp does some things, I guess. The Professor goes to jail.

We also talk about cat cameos (cameows), Pokémon, and an unfortunately lot about robot penises. There are some saucy details about conference calls.

Ben chooses Squirtle. Mike chooses Bulbasaur.

The Beast With a Billion Backs Part 3

Fry becomes Tentacle Pope of the world. A few lucky people mount a resistance before mounting each other (sorry for that pun). Soup prohibition exists...? The League of Robots is totally lame.

ALSO WE TALK WAY TOO MUCH ABOUT THE POPE IN THIS ONE. What is up with that? This is basically a popecast now.

Ben dreams about the Pope. Mike dreams about Tentacle Owl.

The Beast With a Billion Backs Part 4

WE ARE FINALLY DONE TALKING ABOUT TENTACLES.

The world breaks up with Yivo and they have to work things out. Fry has feelings. Leela doubts things. Bender gets lonely. We talk about Hamilton, the Blues Brothers, and I don't even know. 3D movies?

Give this one a listen and you will probably not regret it. Probably.

Ben orders a Pepsi. Mike microwaves a steak.

Bender's Game Part 1

Get out your twenty sided dice and roll up a character for today's grand adventure! Make sure to bring your imagination!

Bender learns D&D. Fry smells some milk. Leela gets a few warnings.

We also end up talking an awful lot about 90s Nickelodeon TV. What was Sam's endgame? What does Mr. Dink do for a living that he can afford so many gadgets?

Ben climbs in through the window. Mike explains it all.

Bender's Game Part 2

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's an owl exterminator.

Bender's Game Part 3

Emerging from the Chicken Valve

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 searches for friends.

Bender's Game Part 4

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-toe board. Avocados. Y'know. All the good stuff.

Ben starts a vegetable podcast. Mike climbs the debator ladder.

Into the Wild Green Yonder Part 1

Like a Portlandia Sketch, it Goes On a Little Too Long

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 bonuses in D&D (or at least, Ben does). We talk about the food you'd use to make out. We talk about clamp-like devices.

Ben becomes a superhero. Mike writes a screenplay.

Into the Wild Green Yonder Part 2

The Jacksonville Jaguars of podcasts!

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 Jeopardy!
