Back to the Futurama

This one is gonna be the last episode from us for a little while due to the arrival of Mike's little one. We hope you enjoy it and that it will satiate your thirst for new podcast episodes until our inevitable return. Kif steals some money from Amy to cover the convenience fees to buy concert tickets for Amy. Then the concert turns into an army hellbent on overthrowing the entire Earth's government. Tale as old as time, really. Also, they do a Star Wars. Meanwhile we're talking about the bevvy of Nickelodeon game shows from back in the day, and the best concert experiences we've ever had. Which... maybe we've talked about before, in hindsight. I don't remember. Sometimes I barely remember to edit and post the podcast. Whoops. Ben signs in with multi-factor authentication. Mike witnesses Albuquerque.

The PlanEx crew goes to a secret lab to fix the professor's A.S.S. It turns out now it is a giant ring filled with rats. Rats, not mice. This is very important for all the rat puns they are about to consume. Now they have to escape from the rat ring. Meanwhile, we're talking about family traditions, whether or not windmills work that way, the various reasons we have our own A.S.S., and the legality of just playing audio from Steamboat Willie. Check out the song "Ride the Bus" by The Frans, as mentioned in our email segment. I checked it out, it actually rips: https://thefrans.bandcamp.com/track/ride-the-bus-4 Ben provides sake advice. Mike forgets his own lore.

Yarrr raise the flag on the space pirate ship, we're having a democratic meeting to discuss whether X marks the spot on this episode. Fry and Kif and Bender (if there's time) get captured and it's up to the PlanEx crew to rescue them from maybe the coolest pirates ever. Also there is a plot about the D.O.O.P. and the Vampire Empire. Meanwhile we are talking about the only food we'd ever eat again and try to broaden the definition of pizza and sandwiches as much as possible.

Mike describes cube rule theory.

Bender's abuelatron gets scammed! So he decided to scam the scammer, only to get scammed... into love? Also it turns out that the scammer has a legitimate catfish farm. And on top of it, the rest of the Planet Express crew tries to scam the scammer as well, including a scheme involving a secret decimal point and professor fun bucks. There's an orangutan with a multi-use banana. Meanwhile, we're talking about sports teams, Mario Kart, James Bond, and what it truly means to be a middle-aged dad. Ben comes back in time to warn the world about the war of 2039. Mike falls asleep in a recliner.

We're back for a new season! Fry gets back into the exciting world of competitive hot dog eating. The professor gets into the exciting world of cloning cows to make 100% all beef hot dogs for competitive hot dog eating. Plus, a competitor returns from the year of 1999... kinda. Meanwhile, we're talking about hot dogs and paint colors (no together, obviously). We're out there in the world getting hot dog pilled.

Mike gives an announcement.

The crew is selected to go witness the birth of a new universe! But the problem is that they will age terribly, tens of millions of years! So they hatch a plan to sleep in a carbonara stasis and then shenanigans ensue. Of course. Meanwhile... well we're actually kind of on task for once? We don't go on too many digressions other than a few video games. But we do try to figure out what the worst burrito fillings are. That's a wrap on the season. See you next year! Ben makes a vegetarian lasagna. Mike tries out for a role as Dr. Doom.

Bender goes truffle hunting! There's a pig! The robot mafia is there! We basically summed up the episode in three sentences. Good job everyone, we did it. Yet somehow we produced a 90 minute long episode? That's right, that must mean Back to the Futurama is back. We're also talking about the urge to throw your phone into the river and move into the forest, and a late nod to... mayonnaise? Fine, whatever who even knows what this podcast is anymore. Ben trips balls with a raccoon friend. Mike evolves his balls.

Zoidberg loses his hip bachelor pad. Leela loses patience with her parents. Fry somehow DOESN'T lose his pants in this one despite all the other times it has happened this season. Also there's something about a blenal gland and crabasaurs also existed. It's all explained in the episode. Meanwhile we're talking about millennial memes, mayonnaise, and spiders. I'm not sure if that is supposed to get you interested in this episode or make you run away. But it's probably fine because I don't think anybody actually reads these. Ben gets some shoes. Mike gets some shoes.

Something something scandal at a local pizzeria I simply cannot be bothered by that. But also, we go on a fun adventure to the Central Bureaucracy and fight something that does 2d12 damage. Look nerds, I accidentally say 1d12 damage when Dwight clearly said 2d12. Also I said a bastard sword does 1d12 damage when really it does 1d10, and I meant greatsword which I'm also wrong about because that does 2d6. What I was thinking of was a greataxe. Let's not call a lot of attention to it. Fry also loses his pants. So that was a plot. Meanwhile we're talking about awkward things that happen to us, pineapple on pizza: yay or nay?, arcade cabinets, and radioactive teeth. We truly contain multitudes. Ben finds a table of radioactive half-lives. Mike is perceived.

The rapture is here! Everybody is getting raptured... almost. The few stragglers try to figure out why this is happening from a scientific perspective. I guess. Mostly it's just yelling about how good science is? It's fine, we'll get into it. Meanwhile we're talking about elevator music and Shakespeare plays somehow. Ben dies as he lives. Mike enters his Benoit Blanc era.
