Henry i gotta ask why you think the Kinks song “Lola” is “transphobic”? it doesn’t read that way at all to me and, if anything, promotes the idea of gender fluidity. “Girls will be boys and boys will be girls. / It’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world except for Lola.” if you have reasons, please share

I remember that ReBOOT did a parody of Shatner's "Rocket Man" back in 1995 (long before the show entered its dark and gritty phase.)

Bob Mackey

I will give you that it's a much longer game and less fun to replay (I've only replayed it once, and I was unemployed at the time).

ShyRanger

Hey Bob, sorry but I gotta disagree with you on something. You said everyone like Thousand Year Door the most, and I actually do not I still like the first Paper Mario the most. I say this as someone who's beaten but at least 20 times, including multiple 100% playthroughs. While TTYD has a better story and characters, I dislike that it's battle system has SO much luck to it. Your characters can get hit by random falling things, even confused, and it's all about luck, punishing you for nothing. Also maybe it's just because it's a disk-based game but the loading time between rooms is noticeably larger so time is more wasted. These two factors make it so, while I still love TTYD, I basically have to force and commit myself to replaying it, whereas I literally can just play and beat the first Paper Mario on impulse whenever I want.

I think y'all had blinders on with the bowsette thing, that who trend was at least 50% hornier

I never hear that William Shatner performance until now and now I am obsessed. I rewound it... several times to listen to it again. I could look up the actual performance but something about hearing you guys react to it makes it even funnier.

A whole different "bang bang!"

In 2004 when I was in college I picked up "Has Been" by William Shatner thinking it would be great for a goof and found a shockingly good album. The amount of talent on it is absurd and Henry Rollins tells a really funny story on one of his speaking albums about it.

John Harrison

Maybe it's the degenerate in me talking but I always thought the Amazonians were lesbians whose only use for males were for breeding stock, and practiced infanticide on male new borns. That's part of the 'horror' of their society.

Bob Mackey

Ah, I misread those as goggles and a fishing pole, but you're right

Adam Voyde

Crotch Pounding Foley would be a great gimmick name if any of Cactus Jack's kids follow him into wrestling. Here all week.

Andrew Bouvier

At the start you mentioned how Nibbler ate a scuba diver... It was a blind man... The ball has sunglasses and one of those canes that the blind/seeing impaired use.

crystalhearts

Oh man. This episode is funny but it is so... aggressively a journey into what a bunch of 90s writers room men thought about sex and gender.

Joe Hodgson

This is such a fantastically, quotable, episode of Futurama. Listening to this made me quite nostalgic for my college years when Futurama quotes were aplenty among my friends and I. This episode especially is just such a real "joke factory" and the material toes the line of cringe, similar to all of the vegetarian jokes in the poppler episode, only this time it makes sure not to really cross any lines. This one is definitely less interested in being mean to anyone other than Zap and Fry as I get the sense that a room of male writers were at least fearful of angering an entire gender. They apparently had little concern for vegetarians though. I'm very much looking forward to this once-a-month treat going forward!
