Welcome to the world of tomorrow! And by "tomorrow," we mean "2023," because we're briefly jumping forward 20 years before we jump back to talk about the Comedy Central years of Futurama. And for our first discussion of "Hulurama," we're digging into the finest episode from the new season; one that tackles a modern-day topic, but with the turn-of-the-century cynicism that made us fall in love with the series in the first place. So sit back, make sure you're stocked up on your favorite diarrhea medicine, and get ready to hear us chat about this pretty good reboot.

I'm glad that Oakland refused to give into the stadium scam that billionaire sports teams owners have conned so many cities but it still hurts to lose this team I grew up with. I believe Tom Hanks (who grew up an A's fan and sold hot dogs in the stands when he was young) said it best when asked about A's owner John Fisher and Major League Baseball and he replied, "Damn them all to hell"

Beyond the unavoidable aged voices of some of the cast, this episode really does feel aligned in quality and subject matter with what the original run of the show was able to produce in a way that Comedy Central episodes about iPhones or other more topical plotlines often were unable to do. I dislike how so many cartoons now are restricted to 10 episode seasons once a year (at best) despite being part of 20 episode orders since not only does that screw the creatives at getting the pay bumps they deserve, but it also leaves soooo much time between seasons that I'll often forget a lot of what happened, and in the end it just leaves us with so many fewer episodes. This isn't an original thought, of course, but it's wild that so many cartoons of years past got to hit 80 or 100 (or more) episodes, and now a 5-6 season streaming cartoon will end up with 60 episodes at most and probably take a decade to get there even.
