This month, we see the first episode to truly explore Kif and Amy's budding relationship as he finally meets her parents on their Mars-based buggalo ranch. But when the herd gets rustled by mysterious dust storms, it's time for Kif to play the hero and prove he's not just a spineless, boneless weakling. Listen in and learn the location of the Great Stone Ass of Mars, listen to some soothing Tuvan throat singing, and find out the best way to eject chickens from a sand dune. All this, plus many jokes and accents that haven't aged particularly well 20 years later!

I was fucking SHOCKED at how offensive and "both-sidesy" this episode was when it comes to Indigenous peoples. Like, I expected the voice work cause we've heard Billy do Amy's dad before and in general they were still not as aware of the yikes nature of having white people doing the voices of every ethnicity, but my god. They definitely take jabs at colonialism and how shitty the Columbusses of the world are, but then the Native American stand-ins are portrayed as stupid grifters who don't understand the value of things and made their own bed + don't actually care about their land and sovereign rights. That being said, with how fucking tasteless so many (white) portrayals of Indigenous people are in the last few years (I'm looking at you, Kimmy Schmidt) an edgy cartoon today would probably do the same jokes. But fucking hell, Futurama writers.

I think this may have been the first episode of Futurama I saw, probably just randomly in syndication. I had in my memory a shot of a green alien strapped down about to be impaled. I had just assumed that it was probably from Lloyd in Space since the main character on that show is a green alien. When I watched Futurama for the first time fully in 2011 and got to this episode I went, "Oh, that's from this show."

Seconding Dylan's comment above, and then moving into my petty gripe which is to agree wholeheartedly that acerbic Kif is best Kif. I was disappointed every time the character showed up afterwards and he'd begun as one of my favorites. My late dad and I both were acerbic-Kif stans, and would inevitably do the Kif sigh whenever familial nonsense veered towards the ridiculous. My repressive catholic upbringing meant that I didn't understand my dad had a sense of humor or knew about anything cool until I -- the oldest of five -- already moved out of the house. Finding out he'd become a Futurama fan on his own was a way we reconnected in what turned out to be the twilight of his life, and I have O.G. Kif to thank for that (among other things).

I'm surprised you guys didn't realise that the line about aging backwards is also accidental foreshadowing for the events of Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles, which has a scene where Amy's parents are annoyed at her for now being fat and... yeah, I'm not defending that part. The sad thing is, the Bonanza theme lyrics I remember aren't the ones you heard on MST3K, but the ones in the infamous Rob Reiner film North sung by Dan Ackroyd and Reba McIntyre, as these rich Texan parents who wanna fatten up Elijah Wood. The sad thing is, I have seen the film in full and it is indeed as bad as Roger Ebert said it was. But speaking of obscure lyrics to popular theme tunes, there are actually "official" lyrics to the Alexander Courage STAR TREK theme, written by Gene Roddenberry but never intended to be used on the show, they were written just so he could get extra royalties on the music.

The crying native martian reference was the first reference I got after watching this in syndication when I was 8 and I felt incredibly smart

RJ Reynolds is Winston-Salem, they are competitors to Marlboro -- Philip Morris is the Marlboro side of things. The book Barbarians at the Gate is painful to read but talks about rich corporate culture in that space :/

Joe Hodgson

This is a weaker episode, and yet it still demonstrates how a poor episode of Futurama still has value because there are just so many jokes! Every line you captured for this episode is terrific and illustrates that aspect of the show. I actually never really read the ending the way you guys did before, but I also didn't listen to the commentary. I thought the reveal at the end was a joke at both parties' expense in that the natives didn't realize what they had was so valuable, and the Wongs weren't either and passed down the story of their deception as a form of boasting. It just felt like it played into the both sides this episode was trying to play.

Kif being a tough cowboy who has feelings but writes them in his journal is just Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. Way to be original, Rockstar.

Dylan

Was Singing Wind a fart joke?

SilkiePJ

Similar to the Popplers episode and Penguins episode, this didn't age well socially/politically but there were so many great funny memorable jokes. I definitely realized I watched more Futurama than I thought cause I could remember many of the gags Bob/Henry were cataloging through. Though I will say I don't agree that this started a new wave of "Wuss Kif" cause he was ultimately a wuss even in his first appearance complaining about Zapp. I really liked the direction they took with him and Amy cause it's probably the most healthy relationship in all of Futurama. Also I did get a chuckle when Bob realized he was being a bit too harsh looking at his surroundings, heh

Pretty crazy that this podcast episode was uploaded on Indigenous People's day.

The earthquake thing sounds like a reference to For Whom the Bell Tolls, where to get past censors, Hemingway described orgasms as “earth moving.” That could be a pure coincidence, but it’s a funny part of the book and an author who would’ve been inescapable for the Futurama writers growing up.

Jebus. I hate to be that guy, but is it possible to make a podcast episode once without mentioning Nina. Hearing this podcast use to be escapism for me, but it turns more and more to a window to a life I really want to life but I never will to.

Kurono

Sorry for this late answer. I wrote this comment a little bit drunk so I was really embarrassed. That's why I didn't look at your answer until now. It was a stupid comment and didn't deserve your elaborated answer. But thats the good thing with parasoical relationships, you can't fuck them up.
