This month, we're covering an episode of Futurama full of big reveals and a plot that's epic enough to be a movie! When the Brain Spawn invade earth, Nibbler reveals his true form as a Nibblonian, and takes Leela back with him to his incredibly cute home planet. But with Fry as the sole person on Earth who isn't affected by the Brain Spawn's intelligence-draining power, can he save the day? Listen in as we discuss this action-packed episode, and the first appearance of Hypnotoad, all in one podcast that's more glorious than The Feast of 1000 Hams!

Shoutout to Hertfordshire from the butler brain ❤️ As a resident of this specific English county I always liked hearing this as a kid.

Henry's suggestion of a bigger story involving the book world stuff is the main plot conceit for the Futrama and Simpson comics! *Homer whisper* maybe you should cover those

And now I will enjoy this podcast for no raisin.

I watched the Futurama/Simpsons crossover recently and there is a giant Tesla tower in New New York, so they were hard kissing Musk’s ass back then.

I am curious. In the deleted scene. Is Jacque Jamon a reference to Michael Jackson? As I a noise I've heard parodies make of him?

Blargh

Off-topic, but I just saw Bill Oakley on a Burger King commercial!!

I revisited this episode recently for the first time in years. My memory was of this being one of the weaker in the season. I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than I remembered it being. Which is the opposite of Bob and Henry's recollections. On the subject of commentaries, I always felt the Futurama ones were a little weaker than the Simpsons ones because not enough time had passed between making the episode and recording them.

I'm sure the writers of The Fairly OddParents were very inspired by the third act. Tom Sawyer in that episode also didn't want to be in a corny slice of Americana.

Dale Jr was in racing already. In fact he was in that race. At the end of the race Dale Sr's teammate Michael Waltrip was in first, and Dale Jr was in second and Dale Sr was in third. When they got into that position with a few laps left, Dale Sr decided that since he had already won a Daytona 500 and Dale Jr and Michael Waltrip had not(in fact Michael Waltrip had never won a race at all before), he was just going to obstruct the rest of the field and let the two of them fight it out for the win. Then the crash happened on the last lap, likely from a combination of Dale Sr being very aggressive blocking and the rest of the field getting frustrated and being equally as aggressive trying to pass him. Michael Waltrip won, Dale Jr finished second.

I am in agreement with our hosts that the sequel episode is superior, though I disagree with them regarding the Nibbler arc. I'm actually happy they saved that bit of info about Nibbler's involvement in Fry's freezing for the later episode. It gives that episode a little something extra, and the line read by West when Fry finds out might be his best in the series: "What is but one life measured against the rest of the universe?" "But it was my life..." Anytime the subject of Fry's "nasty in the pasty" is brought up on one of these podcasts it makes me eager to hear you guys revisit "Roswell that Ends Well," but then I have to remind myself to enjoy the ride. We're already past the golden age of The Simpsons, we don't need to plow through Futurama as well. And welcome to Monday, Talking Futurama!

Realizing how many of my daily phrases— “The professy will help;” “is there Mrs. Queequeg?” and the like come from this episode. I also really enjoyed the unpacking of Leela’s conversation with Nibbler — it made me appreciate that joke all the more.

Don't sweat reading Moby Dick, Henry. You've no doubt watched The Wrath of Khan and it is so on the nose Moby Dick that a copy of the novel is among the few entertainments in Khan's marooned colony. That said, LA mortician and Youtuber Catherine Dougherty did an excellent video of the tragic whaling expedition that inspired the novel and you should check it out.

Harry Thornton

There was a Heaven Can Wait-style story in Wonder Woman 1984, which did cause some controversy over how they treated the guy involved in the body swap.

Moby Dick- Chapter 22: We still fucking havent left Nantucket left, get on with it!

Parker Thompson

The criticisms of the ending of valid but Maurice's big brain voice is so funny to me I don't really care. Especially his end line about leaving earth for no raison
