For all things Futurama

I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.

Isn't Slurms MacKenzie dead?

I haven't seen the new episode yet but it's at least heavily implied that he dies by partying a roof down himself to stop the Wormulons.

There's a Slurm Zero commercial in the middle of the episode and he's old in it, hence the comment/question. 😅

I wouldn't be surprised if the Slurm company dragged his mangled corpse from under the rubble and prevented him from escaping his partying even in death

Fry's been decapitated before and he's fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️
