Back to the Futurama

Ben & Mike

Ben and Mike take you on a podcast voyage back through one of the greatest TV shows Fox ever cancelled. We also talk about a lot of other tangets that come up, whether it's Battlebots or A-1 Steak sauce.

    Intermission Theater Presents: UHF

    While we wait for Futurama to return, we take a break and talk about the 1989 Weird Al film UHF.

    Obviously, Mike likes it, but what does Ben think? What is a UHF anyway?

    Ben demands plot relevancy in his sandwiches. Mike is in his natural element.

    All the Way Down

    The Professor's simulation makes the crew ask a very important question: are they, themselves, part of a larger simulation? The answer is a big-ass shrug. Maybe. Maybe not.

    The Prince and the Product

    On a delivery to the space king, the Planet Express crew is repeatedly interrupted by commercials where the Planet Express crew is toys for some reason. We get Windos. We get Round Wheels. We get Eggulons. What is not to love? Well...... a lot actually.

    Meanwhile we're talking about famous celebrity voices, the worst fighting game of all time, the ship of Theseus, and it's all in your podfeeds. What a deal! Collect all 158.

    Ben gets a plaque. Mike buys toys for his children.

    Zapp Gets Canceled

    As the title suggests, Zapp gets canceled. But mostly this episode is that Leela gets a new job as the Doop captain of the Nimbus. And then she goes to visit aliens in a bucket to try to peace treaty all their air away. If that doesn't make sense, you didn't see the episode I guess.

    Ben gives a lesson on 2006 viral videos. Mike gets the only worthwhile writing advice from Clippy.

    But hey, Bonebot is here and he's serving up bone puns.

    Ben is watching indie movies based on location. Mike releases new anti-Dr-Banjo merch.

    I Know What You Did Next Xmas

    Professor Farnsworth goes back in time to make Santa NOT kill everybody. Meanwhile, Zoidberg and Bender have to try to hide a corpse. Everybody is having a wonderful Xmas time.

    We also talk turducken and Paul McCartney. Which is I guess ironic because he's a vegetarian. Oh well.

    Ben apologizes. Mike apologies for nothing.

    It's been 20 years in the making, but Kif and Amy's kids emerge from the swamp. Axl, Mandy, and little what's his name are here and they grow incredibly attached to... Leela?

    Meanwhile, we're talking about laughing at funerals and farting during weddings, the return of the WIDOW'S WALK, and the peril of forgetting names.
