A hour long episode that surprised up as we had time to do something

Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Are we recording, Yeah, andwe're officially starting. Hello everyone, Welcome
to Cartoon Me. I guess likeyou are. First official episode of Yeah,
of Cartoon Me, not a fifteenminutes in hell preview. Yeah,
that's something that we've been jogging todo forever. So today we're uh,

(00:25):
we're doing a little bit in commentaryon a Futurama on the newest episode of
season eleven, episode six, IKnow what you did next x mess,
which we always look forward to itto the Christmas episodes in particular. Yeah,
did John Gidman come back? AndI don't know. But the funny

(00:47):
thing is we do get Quantapot andHonaka Zombie. But how are you gonna
have quants about who voices him now? Coolio? Oh he did it before,
he did it before he passed away. So we and then you'll see
at the ending you'll you will ofthis. So I feel like Bob Barker
with these little tiny micros, likethe little tiny microphones. I'll dedicate this
episode to Bob memory. Yeah,while you are slowly beating your pet who

(01:11):
needs to be spade and new toit, Yes, yes, and she
will be. Yeah, both ofmy dogs are down here. Yeah,
we have a I have like wehave, I've taken over the nights of
nerdal Lot basement because our my erstwhileco host is at home asleep apparently.

(01:32):
Yeah, and his so the backupplane is if he didn't do anything,
we would record a few episodes here. It is suffer. I've always sat

(01:53):
like this this episode legit feels likeold time. Well for the most part
this season has. It's gotten betteras it's gone along, you know,
like the worms episode. I lovethat felt like it felt like old Futrauma
yet Pea Pats I do, butshe doesn't eat them. She eats them.

(02:15):
Yeah. And also we got Returnof the Kids. Yeah, where
nibblers worms. Yeah, they gotstalking for all of Nibbler's worms. It's
interesting. Oh yeah, they gottaand fortify themselves because uh yeah, and

(02:46):
so instead of steal we get hardcoregingerbread. Yeah. So this is a
very very interesting episode because this issomething we we have I don't think we've
seen in Futurma Bender and Zoidberg hangout what that's the whole premise of this

(03:07):
episode. This is a Bender andZoidberg eccentric episode. Summons a final winning
is one poster h other kids hold fashioned blood with oatmeal spies. Yeah,

(03:46):
I legit lost it when I firstsaw that. H m hm h.

(04:08):
Every year has to be about Santa. Yeah, this is the first
time you see quants about and he'sit's like I've been handing of that for
five hundred years. It's a book, The Hell's Quanza, So this is
I remember this mm hmm. Yeah, but shouldn't not m hm hm.

(05:15):
We didn't want you to know Santais real, poor babies. Yeah,
he's gonna sneak up on him.Mhm. So throughout the whole time.

(05:50):
Let's let's all remember though that Zoidbergis the only one Santa Hot Calls has
ever seen given a gift to Woodbrookdoes no wrong. Oh he does this
time. So that is one ofmy favorite episodes. The late Philip J.

(06:18):
Fry will have to keep going forwardin time. Yeah, it was
a that's a fantastic episode, andthis is a good callback to it.
They ended up that's saying thing likethroughout the whole next sequence. He even
installed a mini fridge after what happenedlast time. Yah, that's what Russell

(07:05):
it is. That's one of thebest episode is period, and that's one
of my favorite lines. A timecan't and you hear the yeah yeah it's

(07:39):
making hands and means yeah. Yeah. So the whole plan express building now
our knowledge I first for this ownThis whole time used to be a meat
shop. H m hm hm hm. Oh god, it's like, here's

(08:33):
the reason they kept having to cyclethrough time. Then there was like give
me that case. My good,here's the big backwards bang. So yeah,

(09:00):
yeah, it's all from and youeven see a disenchantment. You still
need a fucking watch. Yeah thereyou didn't. It was the cause of
the problem. But he had togo back or around ahead and fix him.

(09:35):
He just went back before he wentback to fix them. He has
never called him uncle Fry, butwhere Fries is on grandpa, that means

(09:56):
that he's Fry's grandpa. Yeah,he and his uncle yea mm hmmm yeah.

(10:22):
So yeah, then we get justholy sh it's Cuba. No,
you know, it's even funnier.It's the Yeah, it's in Barbara.
Yeah, you're gonna die. It'sbestess. This is the one problem I

(10:54):
found, like, I where's thebokes schoolfriend? I know, this was
the biggest problem I had with thiswhole episode because it's like that oh call
a calcula remember yeah, yeah,we don't say if just like I mean,

(11:20):
like, yeah, Zoidberg's girlfriend likethis whole episode and this is sad.
I don't know, like they justrid her off or they just forget
about her. Yeah, Woodburg finallygot to be happy. Yeah, either
something happened to her, which Iwould believe something happened to her, well,
like acknowledge it to Bender. Thisis this is like the first time

(11:52):
I think we've seen Bender get legitdrunk. See hold on, that doesn't
make any sense, yeah, becauselike it was Zoidberg's species. It's it's

(12:20):
if you have kids, you die. Yeah, we see his mom the
the episode with Harold zoid I don'tthink it was his mother, to be
honest, it was his mom becausebecause he wanted to be a stand up
comedian when as a kid and she'slike, you know, guilty him into

(12:41):
being a doctor. And then whenhe's like older and he's like, all
right, mom, I'm off tomedical school. She's like, you gave
up on your dreams of being astand up comedian. Females live, No,
they don't. There's points We've seenEdna in a few episodes, like
in cameos Edna. Yeah, anduh like ed No was the what's the

(13:03):
one that ziber that like had likeZoiberk had the huge crush on that tried
to fuck Fry and she ended upscrewing the Well. This is like if
you Tuma is all over the placewith Zoidberg species because it's like one of

(13:26):
the first episodes and in season onewhen they're at that like clever or whatever,
and he falls in love with thelobster. You know, well he
should know that's not his species.He's just okay with trying to dive in.
Maybe it's different if it's not hisspecies. I don't know. Here

(13:52):
we go. He has once beenthe in the fire hole. Yeah,

(14:18):
so they're the bender zulierberg E centricepisode of them getting drunk and kidnapping Santaclaus.
M h m hmm mm hmmm.Of course they do. Mhm h

(15:26):
there we go hang them up likea piece of meat. Yeah, well

(15:54):
for me up, okay, hm hm. Does this fix him?

(16:18):
No? It kills him right.It's a robot like a telescope viue.
I I'll YouTube next. You know, have been around like it's too quiet.

(16:51):
Santa Claus is a murderous robot.Didn't give the ship of his dad.
Well, they're in a drunken stuporthey don't know what's going on.
Oh yeah, h yeah, Ohlord, I know Earl is a robot.

(17:34):
What was the other guy's name?I don't remember. And he's been
fired multiple times and he retired,then he get killed. I think he
died. It took h o.What would flamingo taste like? Probably like

(18:15):
shit, Like there's a reason peopledon't eat them. Notice shooting on you
toy or one of the kids bottlesor that's fun. It's not my stuff.
Yeah, so you don't give usyet. Nope, there you go.

(18:56):
Oh h I hate whoever is doingthe voice of Amy's dad. I
think they maybe, I think theymay have gotten actual Asian man to do
the voice of It's terrible. Iwant the ridiculous, stereotypical, like over

(19:18):
the top voice. M hm hm. Also the fact that Farnsworth has a
con like an actual has a cottagein the wilderness. No, it's in

(19:40):
Detroit, the wilderness of Detroit.Yes, what's with everybody making to duncans
and ship hmm yeah, have youever had your Duncan? No, but

(20:12):
apparently Futurama is telling me that Ishould. Yeah, everybody's making you Duncan

(20:41):
a craved death. He made itlike he used a turkey filament to make
my skis. Yeah, well youwould think Bender would be with fry Ziderberg,

(21:11):
would Let's be honest, dum wellnot even now. I think like
maybe he should go to mom's houseinstead of such good fucking friends John Ziberg,
how are you how? I'm goodat ye and everybody's gonna trodeck him?

(21:48):
Have we mm hmm? This isthis is like a buddy episode that
I never knew I needed. Yeah, we do apologize for this, for

(22:17):
that. I don't know if youcan actually hear what's going on in the
episode, but turned saying that intoa cooler Yeah, let's h h h

(22:56):
you get to play out hey Cubert? H h my god, they ain't
Cubert. No, he's alive,but they didn't get a hair cut.

(23:33):
Huh what yeah, I was standsalive? How is he alive? This

(24:27):
makes no sense? Hold on,just hold on? What? Yeah?

(25:18):
Uh huh? Oh yeah what SantaClaus is stuck in a come look now,

(25:41):
so going forward, there's no moremurder of Santa Claus. Well,
hold on what rooms apparently? Mmhmm, I always know what you did

(26:25):
next x miss. Everybody knows thatmade no sense at all. Hm hm

(27:07):
there we go one on the bot. Oh of course, say more memory

(27:33):
of Kulio. Well that was thatwas good. That was a good episode.
Yes, it was. That wasa fantastic, fantastic episode. So
its Santa Santa Dad is he?I think he's alive. So it's a
matter of are they going to rebuildhim or are the elves gonna come and
rebuild him. The elves don't wanthim, the Neptunian elves. So that

(27:59):
was a fun little commentary episode.I don't know if anybody heard it,
but well, well well if youcould hear the audio then and and and
it gets struck down, well we'llknow that we shouldn't do that again.
Yeah, well we're we talked overmost of it, so I think we
should think we'll be all right.Yeah, I think we'll be all right.

(28:21):
We're not monetizing this anyways, soyeah, that's the same. Let's
be honest. This is strictly justa review because we are a few huge
fans. Maybe we could what maybewe should just make a whole like,
well, there is a Futurama.I've looked it up and it's like I

(28:48):
think it's made some money. Well, so this is this is not for
monetary gain yet and and copyright disclosure. We do not own we don't own
any Futurama or else it would havebeen more. Yeah, and we wouldn't
be potting from a basement. It'sa it's a finished base, but it's

(29:10):
a nice baste with COVID. Yeah, you want to you want to call
this an in for this episode?How long is this? Oh, we're
about the thirty minute mark. Unlessyou just want to talk more Futurama,
we can talk a little bit more. We'll talk about more Futurama. Man,
the especially with the new episode comingout. We got so when does

(29:30):
the next episode come out? NextMonday? So it's every ass It's actually
Sunday night at midnight. So,uh, you know what, you want
to do another episode? Yeah,let's do another episode for Jurama while we're
doing this on the same same Well, do you want to watch an older
episode? Do you want to watchlet's you choose. You choose the episode.

(29:52):
You choose the episode and we'll doa Yeah, let's let's do the
Jurassic Park. No, my soulcan't take watching that more than once every
twenty years. That every so likethe Futurema's original run, like the originally
four or five seasons or however long, it is, like every episode is
good. I love every episode.Yeah, I've seen every episode dozens of

(30:15):
times except that one. I've seenan episode twice. That's it. I
can't do it. It's it's itkills my soul. Oop boop, the
puppy, puppy got booped. Let'ssee, let's see something on the last

(30:37):
season of the original run, becausethey're all good, they're all for doing
that. Just do the final episode. The devil hands are auto places.
You know what, this is oneof the best episodes. Yeah, I

(30:59):
can't this or roswell that ends well, I don't know which one is better.
Oh okay, Yeah, there's nobender. No, no, the
old ones, there's no bender danglingfrom these That fucked me up for the

(31:19):
longest time. I was like,it's like this is a Mandela effect.
Has he been there the whole time? Also that like, speaking of this,
this reminds me how much money didLike why you must have made something
from his holophones like records and stuff. Oh yeah, because he was the

(31:40):
worlds or the galaxy's foremost holophoner.Yeah, for a little while, and
he's gone better over time since he'slost the Devil's hands. Yeah, whatever
money he got, he he blewand junk. Probably a slurm. Well

(32:01):
be fair, slarm costs what aquarter? It seems like in the in
the future, I'm more a coinhowever much that is? Yeah, wow,
And I'd say, like, Ilove it. Homophony teacher taking the

(32:24):
joy out of music for twenty yearsand it's the same. The cool thing
is it's the exact same teacher thatthe robot devil had. Yes, I

(32:47):
wonder what all it takes to legitplay the Hall of Phone, Like if
you have to have like an imaginationor anything like that into like making it
or like, depending on how wellyou play ends on how well the animation
it is. Your fingers have somethingto do with it. Yeah, my

(33:12):
grappy snail the greatest one of alltime, because it's obvious the snell has
become sentient. Yes, it's toogruppy. We hope to see you suit

(33:52):
for tea. Do you think theydo have tea with her periodically? I
hope, I hope Bender does.At least how good must have been shown

(34:23):
because that's like for the longest time, that's all Like throughout the first original
run, that's all she would talkabout when she talked about her access.
It was always shn When we finallydo meet him and he was a worthless,
worthless piece of ship. You couldplay I meant, get your coat.

(35:02):
Hell's in New Jersey. Mhm,poor Doug. Yeah. Also the
fact that he hasn't came up withanother song else. To be fair,
if you perfect the song, it'sgonna be hell stupid fingers. I would

(35:53):
like to see the origin of therobot Devil. Yes, that's an episode
we need. Mhmm yeah right,Like was he like when the first robot
created? Or like, to behonest, it's like the Professor probably created
a devil when he was working fromall probably high. There was Santa on

(36:52):
there. Yeah, there's coolio cookerBot Bender he doesn't, and then Robot
Devil. There's calculon on there,ironic. Oh yeah, there's clamps.

(37:29):
How amazing would it be if hegot clamps? Clap clamp came baba and
he just starts shaking his nails,like you touched me at places? Yeah,
they'll do that. Where'd I gojust now? Hm m hm touching

(38:22):
meaning places? Yeah, like scruffyScrubby gets around with lorsh bucket. No,
wash bucket can't be your janitorial equipment. You're a man. I'm a
man, and your janitorial h butwhat do lug always the snow? It

(38:53):
was his best friend. It washis first piece. You always incorporate your
first piece into a little bit ofeverything you do. Mhm h How does

(39:14):
that work? Like how would likeholl of phon a record d they gave
and the like the guy is sittingnext to him, kah, I'm thinking,

(39:52):
does about this is? Oh no, no, this is not his
first I want to say crimes arethe hot might be his first experience where
all the robots are causing global warmingand so Nixon Island and fries like we

(40:13):
all need to stop polluting, especiallyyou. Heaton isn't bought. Actually,
I think it was earlier than thatwhen Bender cut off his uh his antenna.
It may have been in the secondOh no that no, he didn't
wasn't it that it was that's ourroommate. That's when they moved in.
That's a second episode because no,no, no, no, I know

(40:42):
you may be right because also theother episode of the episode I was thinking
of is when Bender sold his parts. Oh because the the Nickel shortage.
Yeah, like in the President Nickelwent up and uh, Nixon takes his
body. Yeah, and at theend Nixon is on uh yeah but yeah

(41:02):
because yeah, because he has hadhis antennae and they were all using it
in the pool and he had touse fire to decontaminate it. Who was
that? That was like the episodelike where Bender like sold his body.

(41:23):
Hm. No that no, holdon, hold that that may have been
the episode where he got stolen,where he got like where his body parts
got robbed. I think it's thatone. It's so cool, Hall is
so hot. No, No,why was Bender getting in the fringe if

(41:52):
you wanted a beer? Does itmatter if it's cold though? With robots?
H yeah, I sold my assAnd I think it's here that Bender

(42:38):
decided to never part with his assever again. Hm. M. For

(43:07):
the longest time, I didn't realizethat the robot devil was there in a
corner. I just never noticed him, and they used a different animation style
on him that second time. It'sjust me m hm hm. At least,

(43:46):
at least all he had to dois just walk over and get his
ass out of the trash. Iguess that he must have done. Defoe

(44:09):
what Reakable and Jumbee and Jumbe andthe chocolate Ize and Drumbet and my and

(44:31):
the think they legit had to Thisis good music? Is this like uhh

(44:53):
h? Amy just looks like sopissed in this s M below lost me
lall save him, save Fry sayfry God too. Love will devour him.

(45:14):
As for me, I must beoff to have my doctor check this
call goodbye. That's mhm. Soyou see a lot of like even more
bows here. I won an episodewhere his species invades Earth. Okay h

(45:52):
he just tole that man's coat.Hm hm h yeah, And that's like
it. That's actually kind of cool. He's actually emoting while like you know,

(46:15):
just yeah, yeah. It's it'slike the robot dem will understand she's
that and actually emotes so like showingher maybe he took it away from him,

(46:42):
that's why he hates him so much. M stupider is a moat.

(47:46):
It makes you feel angry when thenI'll take what I want from Lee La

(48:09):
Leela. I just promised you areFry. You do not understand I do
enjoy like they put even the detailin the background of just showing how the
robot double and Fry just interact witheach other in marriage. H children't like

(49:04):
the wording in the find that usethe words in want sing something other than
the literal intention that is irony.Yeah, even the robot person looks just

(49:35):
so confused. It is a legittreat like it's an actual play. Yeah,

(50:07):
who's the Billy West for doing this? What mean Dane her? Look
at Zam's date from a hooker.I can't believe everybody is just alive.

(50:29):
I invested in Jam, I havestayed, I new new Yon. Even

(50:52):
this right here, he is stillfloating up and down. H oh my
my name, OK, come onNixon speaking of that's so usually feel mane.

(51:53):
Mom showed up to this one.I don't think we saw Mom at
all cameo in this one. Yeah, yeah, h this was a good

(52:22):
ending to this, Like this wasanother good way to end the series.
M h m hmmm. H DoDo Do Do Do Do? Yeah,

(52:53):
that was a fantastic way in likethe original one. Now, now of
all the serious finales that which whichone is you think is the best?
Because I think this one was thebest. I think there's been three three
series finales. Well, okay,so are recounting the movies, yes,

(53:15):
because the movies, like when theymade the movies, they were not expecting
it to turn anything else because likeeven at each of them. Well,
so if we're going with with it, so let's see, let's see the
movies ended with Into the Wild GreenYonder where they're they're well kind of ended

(53:37):
on a cliffhanger where they were goinginto a portal and like at time Hall
and he didn't know where he wasgoing to go. But then in the
next series, but they always endedto where they can if they have to,
they can restart the series. Yeah, I would have let's say,

(54:00):
yes, I guess so we haduh, I had three because with season
five like that's when we got likethe Devil's Hands or I don't play things.
When it comes to the best one, I would say I would say

(54:21):
probably Season ten's. Meanwhile, Ididn't like it. I think I really
didn't like it. I thought theepisode before yeah, it was with Stendibility,
I agree with it. I like, I think that would have been
a perfect like ending for it tome that it was like I didn't care
for Meanwhile, like I think Stenchsaid instensibility would have been perfect. But

(54:45):
also at the same time, theymay have planned for it and they said,
oh, we got one more episodeto do, that's possible. Yeah,
it's like, okay, then wewill go on a high note with
then with Leela and Fry because let'sbe honest, the show is all about
Fry. Yeah. That was theweird thing. Like with season nine and

(55:07):
eight, I think the last two, like the last episodes of those seasons
ended with a with a clip show, yeah, the nature rama and then
the animation styles yeah, which alsowas like very funny, Like this was

(55:29):
also good, but no, it'slike as much as I love the Devil's
Hands or idle play things, Ithink meanwhile, I think was better because
like it did like it actually leftoff to where like because you could fit
like now, like because the waythey left it off, it's like like

(55:50):
do you want to take a noteother go at it like as if like
you know, like the whole thingrestarted so we could go into a concert
still loop. I just I didn'tlike it. I didn't like it at
all. I didn't like the wholeloop thing. It just it didn't.
It just didn't. It wasn't satisfying. How do we it set out?

(56:21):
Let me see, we did logout, so that of the Hulu I

(56:42):
think I may need to go tothe main one and long out. I
might just have to remove the channeland then stick it back on. Hold
on. Huh, there we go. Are you sugaring a lot? Yes?
Thank you? There, Yeah,there you go. So all right,

(57:04):
so what time are we at?We are at about fifty let's just
fill in three minutes and more.Is an hour long? Yeah, a
first proper hour long episode, justto kind of give an intro of it,
and then like with the like astime goes on, we'll kind of

(57:24):
actually go into like what I wantto do is like where we discuss some
plots, discuss a few episodes,go into the characters, and like go
into a little bit of the makingsof it. This was just an on
the fly Futurama review, Yeah,because you haven't seen the new episode yet,
so it was it was good.It was good. It was It

(57:45):
was a fun episode. But alsothe Yeah, the podcast, I got
like enough screw like field time becauseI could do the commercial for the podcast
and for the closing. Yeah,we need to work on an intern and
out Yeah, because like for theoutro like intro, I was thinking of
kind of a part like an actualToonami kind of like kind of a Toonami

(58:09):
esque intro, like with I wantto try to do a Tom voiceover,
just try to do my best Tomin a world. But we need to
figure that out, yeah, orif we want to go with like actual
kind of a a Merry Go Roundbroke Down, the America Round broke Down.

(58:32):
Yes, you know the Merry GoRound Broke Down. No, think
we might get slapped with the WallsWarner Brothers. No, America Round Broke
Down is free, is it?Is it? Yeah? That's like that's
very old. That's a very oldsong. That's why I got used so

(58:53):
much because it was like, wellso his happy Birthday and like it fine
he went to being like a publicsong a few years ago. Yeah,
because somebody claimed that they were thecreators of Happy Birthday. Yeah, but
we are a which is why tohave this a Futurama why they made a

(59:20):
different happy birthday song in Futurama today. You know what day is to day
today is not what day is today is someone's birthday. Let's all have
a birthday now, we all havesome Okay, and you smell like what
My favorite one like for a happybirthday song is the ones that needs to

(59:45):
Happy birthday, Happy birthday, Happybirthday to your face, happy birthday,
Happy birthday, Happy birthday. Eathunt. But that's why they put that
in there is because they would havehad to pay royalties to the copyright holder
of fucking happy birthday. Yeah,but which is ridiculous. Yeah. So
we're an hour here, so we'regonna call this way a fun time.

(01:00:06):
