You knocked them out cold, John. I'm the commissioner of our commit roll
by Fighting. I'm a Kannasura jerks who pick fights in movie theaters and you're
the biggest I've ever said. You should see me at funerals, kid.
I want you in the Ultimate Robot Fighting League. Ultimate robot fighting sounds pleasant
road do it? Good news everyone, I'm back baby, Welcome to Tales
of Futuramaware. This week we are going to view a viewing an episode that
really hit home for me as a wrestling fan of I've always absolutely adored this
episode of Futurama. It is a raging bender. I am Dando and I
am guy not as much of a wrestling connoisseur as my man Dando, but
still had a bit of a blast with this episode because, oh look,
anytime the robots a big in the hell out of one another, it's generally
gonna be a good time. Robot Wars was one of my favorite shows as
a kid. Had It was hosted by the guy who used to be on
Red Dwarf, and it was a Craig. Charles Craig. That's the one.
Yeah, Yeah, what a show fucking robot was. It was just
it was so fun. It was so ridiculous. You think that, I
mean, they're still doing it. I think it's just called like bot Wars
now or something that thing on Netflix or something the other day. But it's
so absurd, but alway, still love. The most was just the absolute
disdain from the kids once they've had their robots destroyed, like either they were
like so sad or just really angry. I'm always curious about the kind of
kid who would create a fighting robot. I had a friend who used to
do robot wars here in Jeelan. They said, there's like a little tournament
that used to do and I'm thinking his name was Robert. Robert Stott was
his name. I said, Robert, how long in between fights? He
goes, oh, no, a couple of months. I'm like, imagine
spending months building this robot and it's just destroyed in a minute. Jesus.
But coming up with coming up with the cool ways to destroy things, like
the really creative robots used to like flip them over and and like stabbing while
was like coming down from the mid air and stuff, And it's like,
how do you create this ship? You know, you're either in awa of
that kind of intellect or terrified of that kind of psychology. What are they
going to be coming when they're older? Yeah, exactly. But this episode
here, as I said as a wrestling fan, there's a fantastic parody of
professional wrestling. I know they were going for the UFC with the title the
Ultimate Robot Fighting Championship. But this is this is professional wrestling. But even
the little things. I love the little things, like one of the fans
had a bend of three sixteen shirt on a reference to Steven even robot Mania
had the wrestle Mania font. Just little things like that where they really paid
attention. Because usually when professional wrestling gets brought up or mocked or parodied in
various things, it's the butt of a joke, and it is the butt
of the joke in this episode. But they do it in a loving way,
and that's what we do. That's what you notice a lot of future
when they parodying something, They're mocking it, but doing it from a point
of love. I think the best satire is usually done by usually send us
from a real appreciation of what you're taking the piss out of. Absolutely only
when you really adore or appreciate something can you notice all its little flaws and
actions that you can exaggerate for comic effect, which they year, which they've
done here with Raging Bender. What did you think of the leader storyline in
this one? I thought this had to feel there had to be some sort
of like movie parody or something because it just felt like, I know,
it's just traditional, you know, old sense a teacher he just bullied you
as a kid, a teacher at school who has always means you as a
kid, and you've you've come back for revenge when you're older. But it's
like karate kid obviously because he loved his teacher. But is there some sort
of movie story there somewhere? I think it's just a riff on the you
know a bit of an ancient story telling tradition about you know, you've got
the the sense or the teacher who you know, sort of leads you on
the right direction. And this guy's just a jerk. The best kind of
joke though. How funny was he? There was some most of my favorite
parts were, you know, yeah, related to this sense. Let's see
who voiced mister Funo. That was his name, wasn't it, mister f
Mister Funo. He was voiced by David Herman. Okay, cool, So
you know from a King of the Hill, everything's connected, So that unifying
a theory of four finger discount. Ah, so he's meant to it says,
he is meant to be an evil, misogynistic version of the sense in
the Karate Kid, mister Miyagi and he and he resembles Master Yet from Star
warsn't like does he That's a stretch. I guess his clothes kind of do
whatever, but a stretch. No, I'm not seeing it one when you
say it, I'm not seeing it. No, No, he looks more
like kids. But yeah, he does look like mister mister Jaghi. Don't
you reckon a little bit? Only slightly in the beard? Okay they put
it that way short, Okay, I'll roll with that. But yeah,
do you know the Karate Kids. I've seen the first film, but as
when I was a kid, I cannot really recall much about it. And
everyone tells me how great the TV show is. I've heard that as well
about Cobra Kay. Yeah, yeah, just never really got into it.
I mean, I like the first Karate Kid. Fine, I think I'm
pretty sure I saw the second one done. I am about the third,
But I mean, I think they're bringing back Ary just m pretty much all
of them. I didn't say. I didn't see the one that had a
Hillary swank. The next Karate Kid it had mister me argue that it didn't
have Ralph Marcio Okay, did he wear white in the Karate Kid and the
black guys were the bad guys, right they were? Yeah, Gabri Kai
were dressed all in black and Daniel Son had had his white pj'son, so
he should have been in Copra Kine and movie in the second movie called Karate
Kid Back in Black. You're wasted in Gelong Whywood? But anyway, enough
about the Karate Kid. But yeah, I am. I really enjoyed him
as a character. There's an absolute dipshit And what I loved about it was
he was a pro wrestling heel, Like he was so ridiculous, Like it
was the perfect bad guy for this episode. And you really wanted Leila to
just get him in the end. Didn't, Yeah, because it usually you're
just like, ah, Leila winging and planning again. But then you see
what he did and you're like, this motherfucking his head kicked in. This
guy's a total joke and he yeah, he needs to be kicked. You
have one hundred percent right. Look, as I said, I'm not the
the biggest wrestling fan, but I do kind of dig that whole soap opera
aspect to it, with baby faces and heels, and heel turns and all
that kind of stuff. I mean, the storylines that are constructed and played
out. I know, so much work goes into them and so much conviction
goes into them. Based on what I've seen, it's it's what's what's upon
a time? That's pretty ridiculous. Now there's it, Okay, Yeah,
I mean it's that WWE's being run by a seventy eight year old man or
whatever, So it's how creative can that man be these days? Well,
that's true. I mean, hopefully you sort of pass off some of the
some of the gruntwork to people who are perhaps a little more on the ball.
But I don't know, maybe if you achieve that level of how you
think, Well, I didn't get here by accident, so what I say
goes yeah exactly. But that we also had the brain Slug returning this episode
first appeared. I think it was heading the polls, and we both said
in that episode that man, that brain slug does ain't much. And again
they've setting the commentary that they wanted this to actually be a season long arm
with Hermi's having the brain sleg on and think fuck. They opted not to
do that because there's just nothing to it is there. It's just it's like
a it's a gag. You could have like a scene, but it's not.
It's not even an episode long gag. It's annoying. Oh look,
I was pretty happy with that they played it out throughout this episode. It
was it was used well in this episode. But my guy, this was
a season. Imagine if Hermis was like this for the whole season, No,
it would wear very very thin. But having it as kind of like
a B plot or even a B minus plot in this particular episode, I'm
like, oh, yeah, there's a few good gags out of this.
Absolutely. The thing it doesn't there's always looking at the reason it doesn't work
for me though, is that they know that all you have to do is
just kick it off its head, and Hermi's is fine. So why are
they trying to help their friend. That's sort of the one way looking at
it. Also, there's the fear of all the kick it off his head
and might end up on my head. Now. The only thing I had
to this episode as well was so Bender does his first fight, gets backstation
and learns that it's all reaked, it's all set up right. It didn't
include bender know that before he went out. When you think you'd want to
tell any performers or one of them would realize that because surely he does to
know who's gonna win, right, you'd think. So it makes sense from
a story perspective, because you get the big reveal after the fight. You
know, you think it's real, but it's not. From a story perspective,
it makes sense, But when you think about it logically, it's like,
wait, wait, so they sent him out to the ring not knowing
he was going to win the match. At the whole point of this is
that it's reaked and both wrestlers know who's going to win. I think sometimes
you've just got to sacrifice logic and credibility for the sake of you know,
coming back from the commercial brain with a good hook. Well, I've got
here. This is what professional wrestling is based on, suspending your disbelief,
so you're just gonna do it. But this episode was written by Lou Morton,
who actually used to write for Saturday Night Live, You writ from news
Radio, and he's also the He also executive produced walk Hard, one of
your films that you always bring up on this podcast. Nice work, glue,
Yeah, legend. Now he's written twelve episodes of Futurama between him and
Kenkila, that is the record. So ken Killer and he have both written
twelve episodes of the show. I'm not sure if he's gonna be writing for
the new upcoming episodes that are coming out soon, which I can't wait for.
But he also went to the same primary school as David X Cohen,
one of the show runners of Our Future Rama and Simpson's. And it's it's
who you know, isn't it? It is who you know, David,
who you went to primary school with? And who you pee japants next to
David X Cohen. He is the man who brought us Homer three D the
three D seguent correct, yeah, yeah, And it was directed by Ron
Hugot, who was known for animating them said on the on the audio commentary,
he's no animating the best violent scenes or whatever there's violence, he's your
man. So this is obviously the best episode for him to have worked on.
And he now works as a co supervising director on American Dad. Good
that he landed on his feet. Who is my favorite robot? It's me
none out this mirror or what were your favorite moments from the episodes, mister
Davis well as mentioned, Yeah, big big fan of Master Phono, who
was just a dick in every way shape or vaughn. Um, I'm skipping
right to the end here, but that see you when girl. Hell well,
I'll be in Boyle, which is nicer. Everything he said was funny.
Everything he said was pretty damn funny. Um. I was a huge
fan of it. Was just it was only three characters, but sort of
the big bads that Bender was up against. That that's my that's my favorite,
most the over the top heels. Billionaire Bot's billionaire Bot and he just
gets a barrel shoved room and here he's like very poor. Yeah. Probably
my favorite was the Foreigner. I'm not from here. Yeah, my customs
are different to your check out my passport. Very very funny. I got
a genuine, good long laugh out of that. That's the most iconic wrestling
heel. The Foreigner, the iron chic all over here. Yeah, and
of course the chain smoke like a soon as I'm done here, I'm coming
to your favorite restaurant. Yeah, what a legend. Um And of course,
um blanket you'll miss it, but look as a as a fan of
crot Robot and Tom Servo and Joel and Mike and the rest of the guys
on the satellite Love Got a Mystery Science Theater three thousand shout out when they're
first of the movies telling them to stop talking during a movie. Tell them
to stop talking during the movie when it's a great gag. Yeah, So
I loved it, loved it. That's one of those gags where when I
first watched Future Rum it lost on me. When I was older and watched
this one, I was like, Oh, man, that's great, that's
like, that's like, can you think of a better way to use a
mystery science theater? Like Joe, there is no They did it. Yea,
they did it perfectly. I really did So the wrestlers here, we've
got it on them on the you face sphere. I need this anyway.
But so the Gorgeous Gonks, Oh, that's one of my fucking questions.
Anyway, Gorgeous Gonks was just a um a poster on the wall in the
Commissioner's office that's a take off of Gorgeous George. The clear Cutter is a
parody of a famous wrestler, Hacks or Jim Duggan just like, yeah,
yeah, not you. He'll billy you your lumber your lumber man you used
to carry and the two the two by fours, that was his weapon of
choice. The foreigner was the iron cheek like you're mentioning. The chain smoker
was a guy called the Sandman. You want to know the sand Man.
He was in a company called ec W. Appeared in WWE briefly, but
he was He used to smoke on his way to the ring. Billionaire Bot
of course his million dollar man. Ted Dibiassi one of the most iconic wrestlers
of all time. Sergeant Feces, Processor, Sergeant Slaughter and yeah, obviously
Destructor but who's not really a take on anybody, but you know, using
him is a war crime. But yeah, I'll just got here. My
favorite moments where the over the top He'll plus the mister Fnogue when he was
first having got Leila like with the fight, won't take me on again.
You lose once or more, I didn't think, so it is me you
lose again. Terrible terrible human being, not even human being, terrible alien.
Oh I want to ask it a question. All right, it's time
for truvia before we do that we're going to be carrying on the new box
office segment here, what we're gonna give it a name? They trying to
give a name for this segment, mister Davis, So you're trying to guess
what was number one at the US box office when this episode first aired?
Box office? Brain bust you? Yeah, all right, that'll do for
now. That's what we're gonna call it this week. But let us know,
page give us some suggestions. Dando's holding his day, you stinker.
That is a stinky, stinky name. But yeah, so, mister Davis,
February twenty seventh, two thousand, what was number one at the US
box office for this week? Oh my gosh, the year two week?
The week the week of February twenty fifth to March second, of the year
two thousand. I'll give you a clue. Stars Your Man, Stars your
man that you love so dearly, who unfortunately was diagnosed with dementia. Okay,
two thousand. What was he doing in the year two thousand? I
want to say sixth cents? This movie would go on to have a sequel.
It's almost an identical title, the sequel, damn it. Okay,
could these clues be anymore obvious. Oh, it was a whole nine yards,
a whole nine yards correct, Oh dear, a sequel of that is
just oh god, The Whole ten Yards is just one of the worst movies
ever made, really so terrible. Okay, but is that because you had
high hosts for it or is it just a bad movie? It's just a
bad movie. Okay, we should we should review movies that you just just
have a disdain for. Why would you do that to me? What do
you think it was number two? One of the Whole ten Yards would certainly
number two, if you know what I mean. No, you gotta get
me clues down. It's too long. It's been too long. Okay.
Christmas is the clue, but not in the way you would have think.
Someone you associated with Christmas is in the title. But it's not a Christmas
movie. Okay, Red read Santa? Who's who are? So we've got
something red that you associate with Christmas time? Oh? For goodness, say
no, you're just gonna tell me. And Reindeer games, Oh we'll route
off the Red Nose Reindeer and Reindeer Games starring Ben Affleck and Charlie there On.
Of course, yes, they were top two when this episode originally aired

The original edit for this episode was February twenty seventh, in the year two
thousand. Production Code to a CVS You Were eight, written by Lewis Morton,
directed by Ron Hugart. It guest starred Rich Little as himself playing who
he played? Howard go sell he did? And who I mean? Obviously
Rich Little known for impersonality people and Kruss Leatherman playing mister movie Phone. Now,
wherever you hear movie phone, do you just imagine Cramer going Hello,
welcome to a movie phone. That's the only thing I remember that is like
what I've scifer. That's one of the things that just always stands out to
me. Hello, and welcome to the movie phone. That's one of those
stupidest fucking storylines. But it's just so memorable. I just love it.
It's so simple, So because we'd all love to have done that, don't
you reckon? But just that whole why would you just tell me? Yeah,
so funny, isn't it. Why did you just tell me which movie
you like? It's a it's a perfect I know it's not a Si Faur
podcast. You can check out Talking Cifer, but that's just the perfect representation
of when a planners goes wrong with poor planning. So the opening caption for
the episode was nominated for three Glemmys and the opening cartoon was Hollywood Capers,
which was released in nineteen thirty five. The episode kicks off with the Professor
and he's saying how he's taught the toaster to feel love. Do you have
you ever once in your life, obviously, when you're a child, thought
like, for example, a Toy Story member when Toy Story first came out,
and thought, they do these things have feelings? Does any does any
object in this world? I would have a feeling? Have you ever thought
there's an object out there where you gone a little teddy when you were a
kid and gone, I know it's just a teddy, but just in case,
I'm going to make sure that he sits under bed, not on the
floor. Oh yeah, absolutely, when I was a kid, certainly,
I mean and even to this day, you know, I think about them,
my you know, little toy dog Sam, who was my you know,
constant sleeping companion when I was a little, a little tacker. You
know, I've no idea where Sam is now. He's probably you know,
been eaten to bits by his silver fishing and moths and whatever. He was.
He was a wreck when I first had him, but you know,
he traveled the world with me and you know, saw me through some tough
times as a youngster. And I don't know when, you know, I
got older and he was you know, he just went his own way or
whatever happened. I've no idea what happened to doing. Oh he's okay.
Was his name again? Sam? Just the Sam? Yeah, the Sounder
Dog. Yeah. You know, it's a sweet little pal to have,
even though he was, you know, just a fabric and stuffing, but
you know you would mbue it with love, and you know that love's got
to go somewhere. Do you have a photo with Sam the Dog? I
probably do. There may be one around somewhere. But you know, he
was a mess when I got him. I don't know if he'd been through
members of my family before he ended up with me. I mean, my
sister Margot still has one of her teddy bears, yeah, that she had
when she was a kid, and she's you know, got him on a
shelf at her lovely house down the coast. And I always gonna smile when
I say they it's like, oh yeah, I remember that from when we
were growing up. It's just like a little not of appreciation for it.
You got me through tough times. I know you're just a fucking object.
You know, you're just fabric, but you hult me through some shit.
You deserve to be on that shelf. Yeah, exactly. You aren't going
to the mid sir. Yeah, but it's funny. You know, every
once in a while you'll do the whole Marie Condo thing, which even Marie
Condo doesn't do anymore, where you know, you get rid of stuff that
doesn't quite spark joy. But before you do handy, before you you know,
you throw it in the in the bin or in the bag or whatever.
Thanks a lot, man. You were a good shirt, you know.
Yeah, yeah, when when you fit when I you fit into you
pretty well, I look pretty good inside you. Well hang on, yes,
you were good on me all that kind of stuff. Thank you for
that. I appreciate it. Now, off your go, you know,
go have a start a new life of someone that's going to appreciate you,
thank you for your service. That's it. Homies returns from his vacation with
the brain slug on. Everyone just starts act normal, you know, don't
don't, don't, don't acknowledge it, and start using garlic shampoo so it
doesn't go any So garlic apparently is what they don't like. I love my
man. They they ditch him and go to the movies. So they arrive
at the lows and plex. Right now, this is a mathematic thing,
I'm assuming. Yeah, he gets explained a very long winded way on the
infosphere. Now the movie did. His name is lows alpha alp nubll plex,
including the alpha alf null mathematic symbol. It's all lost on me.
For all you maths nerds out there, I'm all, you're just going ha
ha. Apparently it all translates to apparently lows infiniplex, like it's it's like
in the name for infinity or something. I was thinking that it had to
be you know, some monstrously like Google style number. Cool, let's see
this one. Nah, I'm not in the mood for a historical documentary.
I've heard good things about quiz blog. Quiz blog. Ghak I hate subtitles.
Alien films are so pretentious, follows Shallows. How about a film we
can all enjoy. Planet of the Clams. It's about an upside down world
where lobsters slaves to clam Who invited you? Let's just see all my circuits
the movie good point band so fright orders a super small slum because it's only
a little bit cheaper. I love the way that the cinema. I want
to hate it, but it's a great marketing, great business sense. You
get the movies right. And you're not one for popcorn of the movies,
I know that, but you know we always get popcorn, A small popcorn
eight dollars or a large for ten. Why would you ever order a small?
You might as well go large every time, An't you in the option?
They don't give you the option to buy a small, but a small
as five dollars, you'd buy the fucking small. But it's like, well
I was in extra two dollars miles, We'll go to large. They fucking
clear that popcorn out so fast. Yeah, it's genius. It's genius the
way they do it. And making an extra two bucks on top. Yeah,
they're doing all right. They know what time it is. There is
a hack for the for the combos at Village Cinema. I won't get into
it now. If you ever want to note, just contact me on Facebook
and I'll tell you. But it's a way of saving like eight dollars by
getting the same shit. It's like a couple's combo, and then like you
can it's like there's a certain combo where you can add shit too for like
two dollars extra, and it works out to be like eight dollars cheaper than
like the couple's combo. So like you better for get like this like one
popcorn and one drink combo and then add like a drink and an ice cream
whatever it is, because it works out to be cheaper than what a couple's
combo is. But you get the same shit. Did you work this out
yourself? You know you're going were you doing that? Zach galifanarkas thing?
Where all there standing at this? But I'm just like you walk in there
as a couple when you see the couple's combo, it's like, oh,
the couple's combo, we get the sounds love baby, and then meanwhile they're
just getting extra eight bucks out of here for doing absolutely nothing, which on
this thing I love. I appreciate it, every bit of it. That's
the person. Someone's getting fucked when you do the couple's combo and it's not
the couple, Oh it is the couple. So but Fry, he gets
the super small, super small slum bender, orders his food. It's time
for the movie and down in front and this gleg Na's human Ryans presents this
week and you never I wish they still did this shit at the movies.
Well the news real, Yeah, I love him. They're talking about like
a boy and his dog, like way to go scruffee. But yeah,
Fry mocksham Mystery Science, here to do his timeue that to be quiet.
I've got the here. Guy would have adored this moment. Guy did adore
that moment. We've got the new New York Mayor, Maycy Randall Poop and
Meyer. He's opened up a new tube blind to alleviate the rush hour,
but actually everyone's using that twoe blind now and cause chaos. We get the
Miss Universe Gladys Lenox from the Paramesium homeworld. So we didn't get a name
in um in a Lesser of two Evils, but we've got her name here,
and she's entertaining the troops as they attempt to wipe out the human race.
Go get him Buys, that's the one I'm thinking of. Yeah,
go get him Buyas and the mass unit has destroyed. Oh, we do
get gorgeous gonks. This is where we get gorgeous gonks in this LaPier.
And he tried to melt him. He don't have the name for the melting
accountant what it was, but that's the same move that he attempts to use
on Bender in a few moments, we're melting him with the lasers. But
initially he of course, Bender is the pro wrestling fan in this in this
show, um just yeah, but yeah it Bender says he go mass units.
Clearly he's a fan. Then we get the two robots arriving in front.
One seems like a mild mand a young gentleman, and he's got his
partner, who Bender reflows to his flabby even though that's just as the factory
made her. Benders just being a horrible person here, Isn't he prettyish even
my Bender standards? Absolutely? Yeah, I mean, but still it's never
it's never great when you're at the cinema and you've got someone just big in
front of you, or at any event, really, you know, the
lovely the reason I went to went to Day on the Green a couple of
a couple of weeks ago. I guess he's Sting, who was very very
good. Indeed, did he come down from the rafters. So that's a
check the on your wrestling fans, I'll understand, god appropriate for this episode.
I well played, yes, but I was very conscious of, like,
you know, we got there, you know, other people are already
there was like, oh, you know, if I sit in front of
this person, that probably made themselves very comfortable. Here, I am just
sort of taking up space. Yeah, there's nothing worse than that. But
no, Luckily the people behind me went down in front, so it was
all right. We all got to enjoy Sting. Don't you love how often
that us as a society used to term there's nothing worse than that one.
There's definitely something worse than that. Oh, certainly, It's like when I
said, oh God, what a nightmare, It's like, that's barely a
bad dream. It's nothing wrong with that. You know. He turned the
tap on and the water sprays over nothing worse than that. It's like,
I can think of thirty thousand of these words in that right now if you're
speaking of people being tall in front. And I remember why I took Alie
to see him up at Christmas Carol with a live orchestra back late December last
year, before Christmas in Melbourne. We sat down and this be tall dude
sat down right in front of Elliott's chair and I was like, fucking now.
He's like, daddy, I can't see. You can't see, And
of course Ali can't stand up to watch because then you're going to stop the
person behind him scene. I said, oh, mate, would you mind
stopping with your wife so so um my son can see? And he goes,
nah, I really don't want to, mate. I say, like,
come, he said, he's only four. Can can you move?
And he goes, you brought the four year old, not me? I
think that's what he said to me, right to the Muppet Christmas Carol.
Yeah, yeah, you brought the four year old, not me. I'm
like, mate, you are you're a man, clearly, like you know
you're here with your partner. I'm assuming, but just fucking swap seats with
him so Ali can see, I give a fuck if I can't see,
maybe a million times, but Elliott. I ended up swopping seats of Elliott
so he could see because this motherfucker wouldn't move because I brought the four year
old, not him for an asshole? Yeah, what an asshole? Jesus?
Yeah no, But anyway, it doesn't matter. All. They had
a great time, but Ben, it's just being an absolute dick to this
artist person. I liked the rated M fourteen not Suitable for Aliens from Planet
M fourteen by Aliens Alien from M fourteen. The movie then starts. Now
did you see the credits here? I thought you would have liked this gig
I did. Yeah, I mean were the various writing units and directing units,
and of course Joe as to house one of the biggest hacks in Hollywood.
Hacks you reckon hack? Oh god? Yeah? I mean did he
even my basic instinct? Yeah? That's that's the script is the worst thing
about that. So everyone just remembers it for Sharon Stone. Every remembers that
Sharon Stone. It was very well directed by a man, Paul Verhoven,
who made Start JEP Droopers and all that. Yeah, but no, Paul
Verhovens. Sorry, Joe has an absolute hack master. He sort of.
He rewrote the same story for at least three different movies. His dialogue is
shit. I mean, you write the three three big ones. You wrote
show Girls, he wrote Basic Instin What was the other one? You vote?
Well? He wrote Jade, which is kind of like the one.
I think he wrote Flashdance back in the day. Was it Flashdance? Let's
have a look, Let's see what he's written. He made a lot of
money. I mean Basic Instincts sold. The script sold for a shit tone
of money. It was flashed Flashdance was the other one? Yea jacket Edge
and Flashdance? Yeah, oh yeah. I heard those movies and I was
like, well, the big movies, it must be. He must be
at least half decent. I think you'd write a good hook, but yeah,
most of most of his movies are absolute garbage. So is the gag
here being at this movie is going to be ship pretty much. So I
like the two in the credits. Here's obviously a take off a double a
seven bea get the robot sort of chumping off screen, and one of him
goes in which he jumps off. Well, if that finishes this paperwork.
Calculan enterprises Calculan. A fight scene is broken out of the special effects warehouse.
Come quickly before a fiery explosion chases someone down a hallway. I have
no choice, but if you on calcul On to race to the laser gun
battle in his hover Ferrari, press one. If you want calcul On to
double check his paperwork, press too enter Now you have pressed too. No
I didn't. I'm almost positive you did. I cannot wait for the day
they've already doing this on Netflix. I look forward to the day we can
go to the movies and do this and pick and like it's a because when
it's to shoot your own adventure, when it's just you, you can choose
you own invention, like you know what you're gonna be choosing. But when
you're in a cinema, it's like, oh, man, come on,
every come on, everybody, let's let's team up. Let's make sure we
get the right heads up, because the thing is, you put your vote
in, but you still don't know what you're going to get. What have
they done it on on Netflix? And now they did it on a Black
Mirror episode where it's like, no, you go this way or now you
can do this. I think they've done it on one or two other things,
but I can't remember what as a kids show. So basically at thutha
Elliott watch it was a bad boss baby thing and there was a dressic park.
What's it called. It's a camp cretaceous one, yeah, camp cretaceous,
yes, yeah, and they're fine, they're enjoyable. That's Aliot was
so sad that when he pushed him on button he got eaten while this dinosaur.
He was like, you're so sad. It was like, oh,
there's there's a button there though clearly because they know it's for kids that you
can go just restart, restart from that moment you have to go back to
the start. It's just it's like, and this time, choose the right
one. Aliot chooses the same one, you idiot. Um. Yeah,
so there's the movie. They rig it basically, you know, he chooses
one thing. I mean, how could you not want to go see a
lazy gun battle in a hover ferrari? How do you want to see Colclan
do that? They messed up bend. They keep kicking the chair in front
of him and boredom. I believe you're inadvertently kicking my seat, so polite.
The mask Unit isn't he is? Isn't he? But yeah, I
guess it's the mask unit you can afford to be Yeah, Bender mocks him.
Yes, that is the gist of what I said, and he then
throws popcorn at him, So he challenges him to fisty cuffs even like the
what he challenges him to is just so like we'll see proper, and he
tries the melting move on Bender and obviously realized is a huge robot. And
then the woman's yells out, let's all go to the lobby, which,
yes, mister Ben, that's actually the line from the from the ad,
right, let's all go to the I first heard that on The Simpsons when
mister Burns did it. Likewise, I think when he's learning, when he's
trying to get the I think it was Burns air that episode when he first
did that. But but just noticed the professor didn't move. So when everyone's
running away, he just sits there. And then we get the mask unit.
He's going to open up a file of whoop ass, I'm Bender as
opposed to we can He slips on the oil, so no, all all
works out In the end full circle Bender ordered the oil. That's what causes
the mask Unit to slip. He passes out legally realizes the mask unit.
Everyone's really impressed their girlfriend. What a hussy she's just got. You're just
calling your fat slob before. Now you're hugging in all over him. The
commissioner of the Ultimate Robot Fighting Championship or whatever it's called company arrives because he's
a kind of stew jokes you pick fights theaters and you are the biggest one.
You should see me at funerals. I've got here top not to work
by Demagio this episode. Have you got any terrible funeral stories aside for going
to some as the most in fact that it's a funeral, have you ever
been like an awkward moment or anything like that. I told a story for
the first time, not longer. I'm not I don't think I'm going to
share it here. This is um. I told it under very sort of
cone of silent circumstances. But yeah, there was something that happened after my
dad's funeral. I don't know, we'll see how we go, but that's
what I'm keeping in the back pocket for somewhere down the line. Is it
a funny or is it a shocking story? It's not really shocking, it's
it's kind of blackly funny. Okay. Yes. I remember once being in
a funeral and the woman was it was the wife the person who had passed.
As she's doing her talk, her mulogy, and all of a sudden,
she just drops a ripper fart and everyone in a like I don't know
whether to laugh and cry or just want do we do? And what you
can? You sort of hear a couple of like sort of chill and she
went, that's a stinker, and everyone just started laughing, you know,
so it was like, don't pretend it was fighting over the microphone basically,
so everyone heard it. So it's like you mightn't just run with it.
It's just a ripper fart. And she went, well, that's a stinker,
and everyone laughed. I was just like oh, and everyone was sort
of like happier after that. You know, it's good. Sometimes a funeral
needs that kind of thing. I mean, you know what people always say.
I know it sounds weird to say that, but you know, I
was saying, oh, you know, celebrate my life rather than more my
death. It's like, well, you know, someone just let one go
in the middle of your funeral. You probably like that's good. I mean
it's something that you know, my funeral will be remembered. And I think
Guy would have liked that if someone let, you know, let one rip
during his funeral, Yeah, I would actually good on you. So better
agrees to become an ultimate robot fighter and professor. They don't make movies like
this anymore. Bender is now super excited. He's going to float like a
flat button stinging like an automatic stinging machine. But everyone explains to him,
mate, you know what this is. It's pretty brutal. So the gag
is that no one knows that it's fake. Yeah, when did wrestling when
it was a widely known that it was fake, Because in the eighties people
still brought into it. I think it was like during the nineties where everyone
just went wait a minute, Like it's like when once the wrestling told you
it was fake, then it was just like, okay, it's fair game.
But I feel like even when I was growing up, I was still
trying to sort of blur that line they weren't openly saying. And because you've
heard stories of wrestlers who would beat the ship out of people who would question
them on it. Like there's a there's a really um the iconic interview where
it's the guy Munch from from Lauren Order, right. They that plays much
the Big Years, the Glasses, the late the late Richard Belzer. Yes,
he died not long ago. Yeah, exactly a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah, he had a talk show, I believe once and he had
Hulk Hogan and he was just like sort of, you know, not saying
it's fake, but sort of like laughing, Oh yeah, you know,
you guys really go in there and all of the stuff, and he goes,
show me a headlock. So Hulk Hogan just gave him a head like
a headlock a sleeper and just put into sleep slow stage. Yeah. Yeah,
it's like, you can't deserve the mate, you know, we gotta
be talking smack about someone's word, you know, to their face. Man,
Hulk Hogan, exactly, he's gonna running wild on you, mate,
and he certainly did. And Hulkogan got a lot of trouble for that for
obvious reasons. But um, yeah, that's just the iconic moment in television
history. That one not long ago. One of my social media budd he's
found a picture of Hulk Hogan from some action movie made in you know,
the late eighties or the early nners and whatever. And he's got like a
hairpiece. Song. You know, he doesn't have his usual sort of weird
Hulk Hogan hair like. Yeah, well that's you know, it's like a
flattop kind of wig, like you should have worn that all the time.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, he's got his big mustache,
but he's got you know, that sort of short back insides. We
got a link that looks kind of good dude exam for everybody, not for
me. But I don't know. I could have given the Hulks for a
whole new, whole new direction. But the thing is, though that he
just was Hulk Hogan, you know, Terry Balaz his real name. But
like, yes, his image was so iconic that you can't really change the
Hulk Hogan image. That's true. I think. Ye, the weird ass
haircut that he's gotten, the scullet so is Yeah, I guess part of
the whole Cogan mystique. Yeah. And plus, you know, I just
love the fact that when he turned into a bad guy in WCW in the
nineties, he just painted he had a black beard, but still the white
hair and the white mustaches. Fucking the grain. It's like Evil Hougan has
a black beard, but baby face Hogan's clean shaven. But anyway, so
Benner says he doesn't want to do it, he's scares. Says, you
must do it, you know, And she tells the story of when she
was a child again with the Orphanarian. Let me tell you a story from
my childhood again the Orphanarium. When I was growing up at the Orphanarium,
I got picked on a lot. My only outlet was our turn kung fu.
Yeah, accident, Beau Keith, you will go to junior championships.
Bu congratulate Keith when he regains consciousness. But master Fnog, I can beat
these dorks with one eye closed. Perhaps, but there is more to winning
than beating your opponent. You lack the weird of a warrior. What do
you mean watch this? Ye ha ha ha. No girl has the weird
of a warrior. You have the weird of a housewife or at base,
the school marm. That's it. I'll take you on right now, very
well, but you see, I have the weird of the warrior. Therefore
the battery is already OVA the winner. Me ha, remotch you lose again,
honey enough I thought so Finog which is an absolute dish bag, and
he really was, like he actually was the perfect heel for this perfect villain
for this episode. She's an absolute classic wrestling manager heel. Oh yeah,
I mean can't recognize just the master fighter that's in front of him and instead,
you know, giving it up a bill and Keith Will just been kicked
the shit kicked out of him. And he says that leither at this point
that she has the will of a housewife or at best the school momia,
two types of characters that Katie Seagal has both played on various shows. Now
I'm not I couldn't find the school mom one right, but I've definitely obviously
the housewife is Peggy, yes naturalists. I couldn't find who the school mom
character was that she played, but apparently that was a reference to m to
characters she had previously played on other shows. One about listens. I'm sure
we'll let us know about that one, but please do yes, very very
good, better agrees to do so to join the league so he can get
back, she can get back at U, mister Fonogg, And it's a
montage of him training. How's your training going, by the way, or
so it was the four days of running now, yep, gonna be five
once we're done with this. Absolutely, Yeah, you're gonna do my run
as well, doing some push ups, doing some running. It's a bit
of a shuffle around the block. But I'll just keep running that circuit until
i can run it a bit faster, and then I'll have another another block
to it, and yeah, before you know it, I'll be running marathons.
Doesn't matter how fast, it's just you move it. That's all that
matter, is correct. Correct? That's now for a time for robot Mania
twenty seven. Leather was robbing some rust rusta Liam I think it is.
It's glass protected enamel stops the rust onto bender and introduction here the ladies and
gentlemen smiz Mars, which I said is a love partner of the amphibios and
culture, which is who Kiff is. So Kiff actually goes on to to
marry Amy. By the way, we should have mentioned that last week's podcast.
We're talking about Amy and Frist relationships, so she obviously falls in love
with Kiff. But Bender here from Mums, from Mum's shot wherever it's course
America's heartland, Mexico. And I love this as a wrestling fan that Clearcutter
was from and made of parts unknown. There's always that one wrestler who's from
parts known. It's just like the phrases. So hermis tries to give Fry
the brain slug here, and I mean, it's just not going to happen.
Then we get Bender Gant hit with the axe in the back and drilled
through the face and I'm like, yeah, he's axhole. Yeah. So
Bender doesn't know it's fake at this point of what's going on here, but
the click Cutter here explodes and he knows. When Bender is putting his arm
back on, it's a like a shotgun sound, the sound that they use
from The Simpsons. I don't know why they have missed it, but yes,
Bender is the winner. He has defeated the click Cutter, even though
he doesn't really know how he did it. He's backstage now, he's just
he's so happy. Yeah, I took a life nice work out there,
kid, you know, I think he might be dead. I took a
life boss. Yeah, dude, Hey he's that dad. What's up with
that watch? It didn't read the pamphlet Ultimate Robot Fighting is a scam,
kid, It's rigged. It's a secret, so I'll keep it under your
head. But the most popular robot always wins. You mean I'm not a
great fighter. I just won because I'm popular, Bengal, I'm popular.
In fact, you're more than popular. You're pure lowest common denominator. Go
Bender, Go Bender go. Bender. Still is still an up shot for
still the upside for a Bender. You know, he's the lowest common denominator
according to the according the Boss, so he's now known as Bender the offender.
He's just next con trying to get straight and get his kids back.
I'm like, that's so awesome. The guy that the bend of three sixteen
shirt in the crowd loving it. He's taking on. Of course, he's
taking a billionaire bots, you know, the complete with his handsful of money.
Yes, they're just not saying Bender puts the very poor barrel over him.
So awesome. Then the foreigner, which is just that was my favorite.
I'm not from here. I've got my own customs, look at my
crazy passport and then the chainsmoker as you're saying, heading straight to your favorite
restaurant. So great. You could have enough fucking montage like twice as long
as this. I would have loved every one of them. Oh god,
yeah, but just those three were perfect, the foreigner in particular so perfect.
Yeah. Leader is now waiting for him. You know you're supposed to
be training. This was always used in Fox eight commercials for Futurrauma. You
know, I'm also an ultimate robot lover Leader though, so Leader character in
this she's basically she's lutching herself onto Bender's career here because she wants to get
back at Fornog. But it's Fornog. But she doesn't know FOG's part of
the other. She's just she's just working out some of her own issues.
Yeah, yeah, what do you mean we? I mean us? So
Bender says he doesn't need her because obviously it's fake and he hasn't told her
it's fake yet. She can't work out how are you always winning? You
know? And he doesn't need anybody, of course, he needs Flusies though.
Well. Obviously my favorite line of the episode, We're gonna do with
a couple of fluses in our life from time to time. And he walks
off from the light up dollar sign on the back of his coat. We're
now at the ultimate robot fighting HQ and see the son of the front hiring
giant. He'll billy Robot Bender. Your popularity is slipping. Sales of your
Bender brand French Mill bathsols are down twenty percent. Those morons, I said,
teaberry nut sandal Wood. Damn it. Bender. If you can't move
sander Wood, you don't belong in this league. That's why you're gonna lose
next week's title match. But the crowd loves me, perhaps, but let's
see how they feel about your new persona, the gender Bender. You will
be the most unpopular robot fight us in sergeant Feces process of oh yeah,
well what if I don't let the new guy win, Dan, he'll just
have to beat you the old fashioned way to death. Melessa sending the new
kid. I am destructor see it the fight he threatens your sexuality? Yeah,
not exactly progressive when it comes to gender issues. This particular episode of
your drama bed what can you do? They introduced destructor push the button door
opens. He just burst through the wall. Anyway wall see you at the
fight, and Bender then tells everybody the story word for word and say way
he said it. And he explains to everybody how robot the robot fighting his
fake. They couldn't believe it, you know, I thought it was real
like pro wrestling, not fixed like boxing boxing. Leather then refuses to help.
You know, well, if you didn't want my help when you didn't
need it, then why would I give it to you when you do What
the hell are you talking about? I don't know, but I'm still not
going to help. Like she's so confused, she's just so caught up in
her own issues, like you were saying. And then she turns on the
TV and she sees the ad for gender Bender, like he's saying, he
threatens your sexuality. I love it. Leaning laying on the bed with his
legs crossed on the on the telephone and master for noogue. I've got here's
the manager. But he's not really the manager. He's just I guess you
could say, like the trainer. I guess he's going to be called there
like the corner and or, but he's not. He's not even that though,
because he never he's never seen him, he's underneath the ring. Yes,
yeah, them, Yeah, it feels more like trainer than than manager
though it does. But the thing is when you look at this logically,
which is stupid, I know, but it's like, so, who was
operating Destructor when he was there with mister Fogg on the TV and stuff like
that? Who was operating Destructor when he burst through the wall? Bloody logic,
ruining our enjoyment of these episodes. It doesn't matter. But Leither says
she's gonna teach better to fight like a girl. So he says, I
go put on my two too. It's now time for the championship bout where
there will be no gambling. The destructor he's use in battle as a war
crime, and Benderson his two too. Did you notice there was an animation
error here? Fries got the towel around his neck, but it's black,
not white. You've got the egalize you do old egalized Dando here, But
rich Little was here as Howard Cassell and George Foreman. I didn't think George
Foreman really added much to this, No, no, I mean very enthusiastic.
Absolutely. I mean he threw himself into the into the role with Gusto.
But but he didn't didn't play himself though, because he wasn't on the
page, was he George George Foreman wasn't in the guest appearances. George Foreman
performance was full of gus stars George Foreman. So George Foreman's head unless I
just forgot to put him on there. It was voiced by John de Bacio,
didn't you. Rod didn't add a great deal. I mean, the
only thing he really had was just the disgusting spectacle of drinking the fat from
the George Foreman girl. Yeah, having a George Foreman girl. And I'm
just like, well, I'm never gonna be fat ever again. I'm gonna
eat all the fried chicken I want. And we weren't good at my hips.
This is rich little imitating Howard Cowseell hair red ring sided with George Foreman,
George A word and edgewise. This could be the most one sided fight
since nineteen seventy three, when Ali faced an eighty foot Tom mechanical Joe Frazer.
My memories now what it used to be. But I think the entire
earth was destroyed. Interesting if true. The Vega SARTs tonight standard an unpresent.
I did one thousand to zero a bet of zero dollars on Bender pays
one thousand dollar as if he wins, still very field takers. Isn't that
not a smart bet? Later then says, you know, don't worry,
just kick his head off, kick off the structor's head, and Better says,
all right, nope, I'm gonna do that, And whilst he's practicing
his kicking, he kicks off the brain slug from her Meason and puts it
back on his head. Amy's. Meanwhile, he gives Professor the program.
I feel a Professor as a character. They haven't forgotten him, but he
hasn't really have been given much to do lately. He's more for the odd
punchline to do with how decrepit he is. Yeah, because when you think,
what he's not really driving stories or anything like that. Let's go to
season two. So I think the last one he did was like Mars University?
Was that season one? Was that season two? So he wasn't that
feels like season one? So if we go back radio, you put your
head on my shoulders. Less of two evils. He kind of rolling that
gave him the gag, the Zoibeck episode Christmas Story. It's just kind of
it's just kind of a punchline, now, isn't he years it's you know,
almost zoid burgish. Yeah, that's what he's coming down to. Yeah,
it's just the old the silly old professor. Now, I always good
episode is going forward, but up to this point anyway. So then we
got the front Row, got zap Kiff calculated Nixon and yeah, the alien
from the episode five or six or what it was from there was my Three
Sons episode The King the Emperor from that episode on the front row booing.
I just love that they're so they've brought into it because he appeals to the
laws coming dominated you know, boo, get that hippie off the head Dixon.
Just the outrage. That's the thing about wrestling. Knows go to a
live event and everyone's just buying into it because they everyone knows it's not real.
But that's the fun of it. You Yeah, it's pantomime. You
know, you're just you're playing along. Everyone else is playing along as well.
It's okay to act like a dickhead, you know, no one,
no one's going to judge you for it because we're all just wrestling fans.
Just play along, don't be don't be that guy that he goes to a
fucking ghost tour and goes you know, there's no such thing as ghosts,
Like we fucking know it's not real. Why did you come forward? You
don't like it? Just let us buy in to the Yeah, buy into
the fantasy for a little while. So we meet again, most amusing girl
who acts like fighters, training fighter who acts like girl. Keep laughing,
Fnog, He's just never ending, mister Fogg. Terrible, terrible creature,
is it, mister master Probably yeah, Master Phenog. I'm just I've just
been writing, mister in my notes, Master Phenog, and Destructor A Midley
starts killing ban Duck, just beating the shit out of him. And this
is where foreman It drinks the fat out of his mouth. Fry, it's
revealed he has wearing the brain slug, which was a good reveal. I'll
give it that. He's like throwing the towel for love of god, Fry,
why aren't you helping me? And because the only way to throw in
the towel according to the story, So he can't because the brain slug.
So they sort of write that little um, what would you call it?
Not a plothole? But it's just like, well, why did you just
end the fight while he can't. Then we get the really great slow mo
which is a takeoff of which movie, mister Davis, I'll leave it for
you of Raging Bull starring Robert Nero and former heavyweight champion Jake LaMotta, one
of the greatest movies of all time, which is where we get Raging Bender
from. Correct, Except when I was a kid, whenever I saw a
raging Bender, I was frais, my little dirty mone went to raging Boner.
You're only human. I'm only human. But now, when Bender's getting
beaten up, he yells at mummy. And that's the thing you see a
lot like when people and guys, grown men feel like they're about to meet
their maker, they yell for mummy. Yeah. Yeah, whether you're on
Normandy Beach or in the wrestling ring, it's usually your mum. You're calling
for Leela. She notices a little radar didition, What's what's that? What's
going on here? And Benders asking why won't anyone help him? She looks
under, she sees under the ring and he is basically, what's those suits
called where it's emotion emotion capture, I think kind of yeah yeah, motion
capture, yeah yeah, and she um, she starts fighting hile you're an
excellent student. Too bad, I was a lousy teacher. And they're having
their big fight, big battle, and Bender says, this is where our
destructor starts moving backwards, and Benders like, what's endering time? Take off
of Hulk. It's clobbering time, clab and talking time. Yeah, yeah,
no, the thing from the Fantastic the Thing, Yes, the Fantastic
four, not the Fantastic four. Jesus Christ, I'm messing up my my
MCUs. Yes, but yes, So they're having a big fight and Lela
realized that she can grab the hand of him slam it down into his own
head, which I thought was a good twist. It was. It proves
that Leela was, you know, just a smart fighter, yes, and
which unfortunately results in Bender losing anyway, gets squashed by the structor. Everyone
everyone wins in the end, except for Bender, who gets flattened out.
But he get he does, but at least he does get a ten percent
off whenever he goes to what's the bed bath and beyond that is correct,
and you know Leally gets to feel good about herself because I beat up somebody
who hurt my feelings in high school. Yes, and Friday. No one
has the brain's lug either, because it's staffed to death. Now this is
a reference to an episode going forward that gets mentioned an episode going for it.
Apparently he has the delta brain wave. So the delta brain wave is
something that people have who weren't from the future. So that's why it wasn't
able to get any sustenance from his brain. Would you find out in a
future episode why that is the case. But that's why he has a different
brain wave to herb he starts, that's why the brain slug as they were
to feast on him and not on fright, that is the future of future
rama. M So they roll up bender, I mean, and with rich
Little and George Foreman doing this a bit that kind of lost to me,
so said, he says things funny, that's the gag, But it wasn't
really much of an ending. I felt the ending was for an episode that
was so over the top and you know, flamboyant with wrestling and things like
that was a kind of flat ending for me, It's kind of petered out,
didn't it. Yeah, it didn't really end with a bang, just
sort of a whimper. Yeah, anyway, but that aside. As a
wrestling fan, I've always loved this episode. I think they did a beautiful
mass to the pro wrestling industry of this. They can tell they definitely some
of them were wrestling fans. Whoever put this episode together, because just a
little details that really really made up for the what it lacked. But anyway,
yeah, Raging Bennet, fantastic episode of Future and I hope you guys
have enjoyed our review. The next episode we are going to be doing is
a Bicyclops Built for two. Now this episode, mister Davis, we have
officially reached the point in Futurama in which Mitch and I were doing the show
and we stopped here. So it's going forward. It's all fresh. You've
never heard Dano's perspective of bicyclops built for two. It's all it's all clear,
sailing ahead, mister Davis, no retreads here, forget about that grinter
