Episode 9: Don't Lick It

Mike and Steve FINALLY watch a Season 6 episode - chosen by rolling a pair of dice!  The selected episode was the eighth episode of season 6, "Yo Leela Leela".  Minimal audio clips from the episode in this one, as our viewing copy was on Blu-Ray, and Steve's computer doesn't have a Blu-Ray player with which to capture audio.  Nevertheless, it was a good time had by all!

New Podcast On the Way!

Hey everybody!  Steve here - Mike and I recorded an episode last night, so I'm just in the editing stages of putting it together.  I hope to be speedy and have it out tonight, but we'll see about that.  Anyway, it's coming...so stay tuned!

Episode 7: Möbius Dick

Mike's on vacation, so Steve filled in by himself.  The result?  A really pathetic podcast...but don't worry, it's not 30 minutes long.  It's more of a filler episode, but there's still some neat information contained inside.  Have a listen!

In this week's episode, Mike and Steve discuss the 13th episode of Season 1, "Fry and the Slurm Factory", and try to determine whether or not it's the grossest episode in Futurama history.  They also discuss some of the other parodies of Futurama, as well as cover off some Futurama News at the top of the show.  Download now for the thrilling discussion - one that even forgets to mention that the Slurm contest has Fry looking for a bottle cap in a can.

We made it to episode 2!  In this episode, Mike & Steve have a look at the second episode of Season 1, "The Series Has Landed".  They also discuss Sal, everyone's favourite blue-collar worker in the Futurama universe, as well as some of the many robots that have appeared throughout the show's history.  There's also some mention of new episodes that is *slightly* outdated, but give us a break - we recorded this back in May.
