2:00
of Mermaid mercy. I do believe I'm getting the vapors. M What the
2:15
hell is that? Yeah, I'm a little confused too. How do I
2:19
you know? With the tail and all, I'm not your first am.
2:22
I I mean I lay my eggs, then I leave and you release your
2:25
fertilizer. Why couldn't you be the other kind of mermaid with the fish part
2:32
on top and the lady bard on the bottom. Good news everyone, I'm
2:37
back baby, it's right hit his tail's the future. I'm are exclusively here
2:54
on the fourth figure Discamp patre On hind the Web. Today We're going to
2:58
be reviewing an episode that I don't think I've watched since I usually bought the
3:00
DVDs. It's the Deep South. I am Danna and I'm a poor,
3:05
demented honky guy. Wait, sir, feeling pretty good actually in tea Why?
3:10
Kind of like this episode of Futurama for multiple reasons, but one of
3:15
them is a guest appearance by one of my favorite actors. Well, let's
3:21
just jump right into it, Parker Posey playing voicing the character of Umbriel,
3:28
the mermaid who hooks Fry by the heart and other organs. You might say
3:34
she's a fantastic voice artist because she also voiced Becky in It's a Mad,
3:38
Bad, Mad Bad Marge, whatever that episode was, whereas the one that
3:43
sort of moves into Marge gets jealous of her when she wants moves into the
3:46
Simpsons house because she was going to marry Otto and then he leaves her at
3:49
the altar. She's just so good at making characters who you've never met before,
3:53
but so likable and charming, Like you fall in love with Becky and
3:55
I fell in love with Umbrella Umbriel, like this something a better voice.
4:00
It's just such a lovely I don't know what's the word to describe her.
4:03
It's so addictive, her voice. She's just an absolute sweetheart, which is
4:08
precisely when I wrote here in my nose even before. I mean, I
4:11
went into this episode not blind but just you know, I went in like,
4:14
let's just enjoy the story and we'll find out a little bit more about
4:16
it afterwards. And you know, when I saw the closing credits, like
4:20
Parker Posey, oh my gosh, she's fantastic. But even before then,
4:24
I was like, oh, I'm really just a sweetheart, just a just
4:29
a you know, big on bowl of raspberry rumble. You might say,
4:31
it's just delightful, delightful, And but I've enjoyed Parker Posey in movies,
4:35
well, god, since the early nineties. I mean, I think starting
4:39
with the great high School classic Days and Confuse, where she plays like this
4:42
terrifying high school mean girl who nonetheless you're just, oh my god, be
4:46
my girlfriend, you know. I mean, I don't get say the millennial
4:53
slash gen said, you know, thing on social media about oh so and
4:56
so I could run me over with a car. Yeah, it's like,
4:59
but then I look at Parker Posey and Days Confused Ago, Yeah, I
5:01
get it. I get it, And she is just one of those terrific
5:05
actors who never really became or has not yet become like a huge star,
5:11
but has that person sort of like recognition, like, oh, always happy
5:15
to see Parker Posey no matter what she shows up in, and you know,
5:18
usually just steals the movie from under the nose of the stars as well.
5:21
So yeah, very happy that she was in the Deep South. She
5:26
just was the cherry on top of a pretty nice episode, pretty pretty tasty
5:29
ice cream some day of an episode. I thought, But she's such a
5:30
good job with the umbre Old character that it's it's almost like a hill turn
5:33
from fright the end when he leaves her, it's like she did nothing wrong,
5:36
Like she she basically gave herself to him, and he was like,
5:40
no thanks, and I'm like, Dick, She's like, I get,
5:45
I understand why, I understand, But the thing is, I just still
5:49
felt so terrible for her. That's wholly understandable. Yeah, he could have
5:55
handled that a little more delicately, because yeah, sometimes everything falls into place.
6:00
All the stars are in alignment except one particular one that's you know,
6:03
kind of the biggest, brightest star. So it's important to have that compatibility,
6:09
so to speak. But you're right. Yeah, I mean looking at
6:13
Fries running well, I actually no that Sidberg doing that making that noise,
6:16
but yeah, running off in that particular fashion or swimming off in that particular
6:20
fashion, was like, my man, my dude, You've made some bonehead
6:26
moves in the past, but this ranks up there with the with the bone
6:30
headed, the most bone headed of them all, because you're as he's sitting
6:33
in bed with it with Umbrell, there's that shot where she's like looking up
6:35
at him and it's just like all these clevage and I'm like, god damn,
6:42
But you're right this episode that's what mermaids are formed. I mean,
6:46
mermaids are essentially there to lure sailors down into the briny depths. You know,
6:51
I've got to do that by any means necessary. So they're usually sexy.
6:57
But you're right, it's just a fun episode. It's one of those
7:00
the crew go to episodes, right, I know, they kind of various
7:02
planets, but they put a spin on at this time where they didn't go
7:04
into space. They went to the bottom of the ocean. There's just something
7:08
about as humans, we have this fascination with what's below the water. But
7:12
the bottom of the ocean, what's down there, and the legend of Atlantis
7:15
and things like that and the Mermaids, that kind of stuff like, because
7:17
we've been to the bottom of the ocean, but there it feels like there's
7:19
so many areas that have gone unexplored. Right, This was this was a
7:25
fun way to delve into that. Yeah, absolutely, I have heard Now
7:28
this was probably an exaggeration, a bit of hyperbole, but it sounded good
7:33
when when I that we probably know more about space than we do about the
7:40
oceans. Yeah, we've sort of been looking up at the stars far more
7:45
than we have been exploring, you know, the depths and the breadths of
7:48
the oceans on Earth. And I don't know, when you see some undersea
7:54
footage or you're like, holy molly, look at those sea creatures or what's
8:00
going on down the very bottom down there? Thank you Jim Cameron for all
8:03
that footage. We are so bland and boring as a species. When you
8:07
see some of the ship that's down there, isn't it. Oh yeah,
8:11
absolutely, it's like, oh my god, the world's got everything in it.
8:13
And then some yeah so yeah, ondred percent right, I mean,
8:18
the ocean is just an incredible rich field of exploration. Yeah, so it
8:24
was fun that the that the crew got to explore. Yeah, and it
8:28
was just a fun set up as well. We just recorded our review of
8:31
We're on the Road the Doughware fouring a discount and the setup was just such
8:35
a boring it just felt like it went on forever. It just it was
8:39
lots of filler with this one, like that they go in the fishing trip.
8:43
I know, there's something about fishing like it's just it's kind of like
8:46
when you know, you go camping. It's it's so it's a different experience
8:48
of the real world. It's so separated from what from reality when you go
8:52
fishing. And that's why I liked about It's just like the crew just out
8:54
in a fishing trip, you know, just with each other having a good
8:56
time. It's got its own set of rules and rigg elations. And I
9:00
don't mean prescribed by humanity or some authority or whatever. It's just like you
9:05
you have to adjust to the to the rhythms and pace and wherewith all of
9:09
fishing you can't bend it to your will. It's like just you know,
9:15
throw you throw your lure in the ocean and see what happens, or throw
9:16
your lure in some water and see what happens. You can't make it happen.
9:20
It's just got to like, Okay, well, I've got to surrender
9:22
to the rhythms of the planet or the rhythms of the water, so to
9:26
speak. Yeah, which is I don't fish. I don't. I think
9:33
I may have done it once or twice and actually not fucked it up.
9:37
But at the same time, I was like, there's a big deal of
9:39
satisfaction that comes with that perfect cast when you sort of when your nail it
9:43
as it goes, when you're like, fucking did it? I did it.
9:48
I didn't quite I didn't quite get it perfect. I mean there are
9:52
times when you know, it's like when you you do a perfect golf drive,
9:56
when you just knock it off the team, you know, oh I
9:58
hit that just and you can just yeah, that's a great feeling. I
10:05
never had that with a with a fishing rod. But at the same time,
10:07
I did not take my eye or anyone else's eye out with a hook.
10:11
Yeah, so I'm pretty happy or eating I'm fuck up their intestines.
10:16
That true. A lot of things going up fries. But in this episode,
10:20
a lot of side of me going on. In this episode, I
10:24
am taking back to going out on my dad's fishing boat when I was a
10:28
kid. One of the things that I disliked about fishing was it took me
10:31
a while to sort of learned how to cast. But there was always that
10:35
fear of embarrassing myself in front of my dad, because my dad's just like
10:37
my dad's hunter fisherman, you know, fucking outback jack, right, so
10:41
he'd just do everything. Like I always just felt like a failure when I
10:45
couldn't cast the rod, and I was just always this pressure of I've got
10:48
to do it right. I'm gonna do it right. So when I eventually
10:50
would do it right, I just felt so satisfied and I'm like, yep,
10:54
dad saw me cast a rod. Good, I'm a man. But
10:56
like there was no I'd only get it right maybe three times out of five.
10:58
Like the other two times it's just like just tangled around the edge and
11:01
Dad's like, just leave it, I'll sucking untangle it. I'm like,
11:05
oh, I'm sorry, I've ruined the day. No. No, look,
11:09
you're speaking about an experience that I imagine a lot of a lot of
11:11
kids had, particularly a lot of a lot of male children have had.
11:16
As listeners of the shows will know, I mean my my late old man,
11:20
the late grad Bobby Davis was a footballer of some renown, one might
11:22
say some some new Yeah, guy Davis was not. But you know,
11:33
on the occasions when we'd go out and have a bit of a kick to
11:35
kick, it was always in the back of my mind and sometimes in the
11:39
front it's like, be nice to actually really roost this or just show really
11:45
really perfect form with this drop punt, or even better a style that has
11:50
now gone out of style, the drop kick. Now it's just known as
11:54
now it's just an insult for someone you're gonna have a fucking drop kick.
11:58
But by the way, I don't know if it's going to make it on
12:03
the show. The Lovely Luise was just at my house dropping off some food.
12:07
I was like, I'm just I'm just gonna distracted by something out of
12:11
the window. It was a Lovely Luise because the reception, the reception is
12:15
pretty ship at the moment, so I'm like, has he frozen or is
12:16
he just looking at something out of the window. You bet, I'm looking
12:20
at Suddenly I'm looking the most gorgeous woman in the world. Bring me.
12:22
I think Nicholas supposed to be working. What's she doing here? What's she
12:24
doing? But yeah, the drop kick. Yeah, now it's become slang
12:31
for a person who's kind of a drop kick. But if you can do
12:35
it right, oh, it's just a it's a beautiful thing to do.
12:37
And I actually pulled one off once to the old man and then I was
12:43
like, it's like, son, you're no drop kick. No, that's
12:48
but I just mean felt this immense sense of pride because he looked at me
12:52
like you might actually be relayed to me after all. You went like,
13:00
how was how was was Margaret Mary when she had you in forties? Thirty
13:05
nine? Thirty nine? She was close to it? Yeah, and you've
13:07
always said that you were just like a New Year's every special way cher a
13:11
happy surprise. We also had Donovan guest appearing on this one, not just
13:18
Parker Posey. You know what was he on the sixties seventies? Donovan?
13:22
I think, yeah, I think sixties, sixties and seventies. Yeah,
13:26
there's always that that bit of bleed over, isn't there? But yeah,
13:28
Donovan doing a I guess a bit of a riff on his famous hippie anthem
13:35
Atlantis, which fit the episode very well. It did it did? I
13:39
mean, I'm partial to Donovan. I mean, he's got a rappers,
13:43
one of those sort of you know, very hey man life is great kind
13:46
of seventies guys, but a lot of his music has been repurposed as kind
13:50
of creepy. Didn't Scuse gives that song for a fight sequence in the movie.
13:56
Yeah, I'm trying to remember which one someone's getting beaten up. I'm
13:58
pretty sure Atlantis was playing with somebody's getting beatn up in a scores Agy film.
14:01
It's it's in Good Fellas. Yeah, I think de Niro and ray
14:07
Leotto and Joe Pesci especially are kicking the shit out of billy bats. That's
14:09
right, tough break for billy bats, but also gets killed in front of
14:15
he probably gets killed, and then that's brutal that it is, Yeah,
14:22
because then it's a pretty nasty movie. I mean, so it's good Fellas,
14:26
but yeah, I think Casino's even more kind of bit edgy. Yeah,
14:30
But of course there's also the opening scene of David Fincher's Zodiac where he
14:35
has gone. In the song hurdy Gurdy Man is used while the Zodiac killer
14:39
is out of doing his thing. And that's like for a guy who's you
14:43
know, sensitive singer songwriter guy, It's like a lot of these songs are
14:48
creepy as hell. Yeah, definitely. Now a couple of facts about this
14:54
episode before we get into our favorite moments and whatnot. Billy west Let's the
14:58
voice of many characters in Future Rama. He turned forty eight years old on
15:01
the day that this episode premiered on US television. Wow. Yeah, And
15:05
now we get a bit of censorship information here. So a line of dialogue
15:09
was edited out for an airing on Cartoon Network's Adults Swim when Professor Farnsworth exclaimed
15:15
sweet Zombie Jesus. They left in him saying Jesus as in the visual of
15:20
it, but it was muted out when he said the word Jesus, although
15:24
yeah, the animation for the dial was left intact. In contrast, airing
15:26
on TBS is Too Funny to Sleep Marathon, they would put the entire version
15:30
in now where the episode was shown on Sky One in the UK, umbreel's
15:33
line of I want you to make a merm woman out of Mermi before she
15:37
has sex before I was muted out due to it being shown before the watershed
15:41
hour, when more explicit sexual lines are allowed to be shown on UK television
15:43
and also on Sky One. They also cut the scene of Bender, excepting
15:46
the suitcase from Machety Guy on the jet ski Ah. Even though you know,
15:52
you never really get to get an idea of what's in that. No,
15:56
I prefer that. Yeah, it is same here what makes pulp fiction
15:58
so good? Exactly right? No one knows what's in there to know,
16:02
and he never did. He never did say it, though, did he
16:03
Tarantino? He's never never did, because there never was anything. It's just
16:07
he left it to your imagination. You don't know. I guarantee Tarantino never
16:12
did he tell the actors what was in it. To pretenders, it's just
16:15
like the coolest thing you've ever seen, Like, what how did he direct
16:18
that? You know? Something I think I heard was it's Marcellus Wallace's soul.
16:26
That's what they said. Okay, so then that's what that That's what
16:29
the actors were told to think. They'll look. I think that's what the
16:30
actors were told. It's okay, Oh is that what I think it is.
16:33
Oh, everybody's suitably all struck, and you know everyone's desperate to get
16:38
it. They'll get it back. Who is my favorite rolebot? It's me,
16:45
No line out's fucking this mirror. It's all your favorite moments from the
16:49
Deep South, mister Davis. I mentioned this a little bit earlier, so
16:53
I apologize for jumping the gun, But every time Zoidberg to the I don't
17:02
know, it's got a real kick out of that. For some reason,
17:03
I only happened twice in the episode, but every time, I've got a
17:07
big grin on my face. The whole Donovan thing I thought was grace and
17:11
the fact that I actually gave Donovan a shout out within the episode itself.
17:14
I mean, you didn't have to wait till the closing credits to go,
17:17
hey, that's noted sing a songwriter Donovan and his unique brand of laid back
17:22
folk rock. Yeah, I got a kick out of that. And of
17:25
course, just any time that Parker Posey opened her mouth as as umbreel or
17:29
umbriel as we as we like to say. By the way, you are
17:33
throughout a little a few fun facts earlier, It's time for me to lobby
17:36
one back to you. Do you know why Umbreel was called Umbrel? I
17:38
don't know why, because Umbrel is one of the moons of Neptune, I
17:45
believe, and so is Ariel, who is the name which is the name
17:49
of the Little Mermaid the Riders the Future. I'm giving a little shout out
17:56
to both a Disney cartoon and some astronomy. Yes, I mean they are
18:02
geniuses, the guys behind Future. I'm so pretty clever clocks, They are
18:06
pretty clever. I loved Bender trying to drink the alcohol. Are the laws
18:10
of science? Be a harsh mistress? And when I love he had an
18:15
eyepatch on as well that he has went full pirate when he went into that
18:18
pirate ship. Yes, but I also loved when the colonel greets them and
18:21
he just goes from from from from. Is there anything more intimidating than that
18:29
music. Look, if you're out in there, if you're out in the
18:30
swamp and you hear that music, I'm in strife here now, nasty ship's
18:36
going to happen in the woods. Yeah, very very nasty shit. And
18:40
also this moment may be the most relatable moment in the history of the show.
18:45
From Professor Farnsworth, I'm bored, Let's go. I would love to
18:51
be able to have the balls and the guts to be able to say I'm
18:53
bored at this party. I'm out of here. It is one of the
18:56
better things about getting old. Yeah, everyone's is like, yeah, you
19:00
just lose your give a fucking impulses all on it. It's just like,
19:06
no, I don't have enough time left on the planet for this. I
19:07
mean, I'm just going to go. I don't think I'll find you people
19:10
that interesting. I don't think this occasion is all that much fun. I'd
19:12
rather gonna do what I want to do exactly right any more brain Busters?
19:18
Okay, Blockbuster Brainbuster. Let's skim through this fromister Davis original at April sixteenth,
19:23
two thousand. So how are you of the year two thousand? Can
19:26
you remember many films that came out in early ish two thousand? April two
19:30
thousand, we've still got Real Rules of Engagement. That's still number one.
19:33
So that's still the number one of the US box office when this episode aired,
19:36
but we got two and three to try and keep. They're pretty random
19:41
films. I want to say one of them. I've definitely knew one of
19:42
them. The other one I remember seeing the Post of four. I never
19:45
actually saw the film. Well, here's the thing, I mean, yeah,
19:48
we're just at the very start of I mean, they've always been franchises
19:53
and sequels and things like that. But yeah, this was prior to Harry
19:57
Potter kicking off a big saga like that and The Lord of the Rings.
20:00
I think these were both the following years. So you didn't have many sequels
20:06
and franchises and all that kind of business happening in the in the year two
20:08
thousand as you did in later years throughout the twenty first century. So I
20:12
don't know, it's it's a lot more a lot more of an open field
20:15
this time around. So they need some clues, mister Dando, and you're
20:19
you're pretty good with the clues. You're pretty good at sprinkling around. So
20:22
the first clue, the clue for number two is alcohol, and the clue
20:26
for number three is dama. Oh okay, then alcohol alcohol in a perfect
20:34
world to be like a celebration of drinking. Clue. The story kicks off
20:38
with alcohol combined with a limousine Starry Sandra Bullock. Oh okay, yeah,
20:45
yeah, that third clues took us, took us right over the top.
20:48
Because everyone loves Sandra Bullock America's sweetheart, of course. But every once in
20:52
a while you got to try and show your range or show your range,
20:56
and Sandy did that in two thousand with a movie called twenty eight Days,
21:02
not twenty eight days Later, not the not the zombie movie, but twenty
21:04
eight Days, which is where you how much time you got to spend at
21:07
a rehab facility when you enjoy your booze or your illicit substances just a little
21:14
bit too much fun. Fact early role for Viggo Mortenson, Oh there he
21:18
goes thinks with Sandra Bullick is like I grew up with her being it's like
21:22
a main like a main star. But it's like I remember her partner,
21:25
like cheated on it or something. It's like some fucking tattoos like biker dude
21:27
or whatever. I was like, are you fucking mad, Sandra Bullick?
21:32
Yeah? It was. Actually his name was Jesse James. And whether he
21:34
was an actual descendant of the real Jesse into the legendary the legendary outlaw,
21:41
or this guy was just a pretender, because you know, you're right,
21:44
he was a tattered up dude who could customize motorbikes. And he got a
21:49
real profile boost because it's like, what's America's sweetheart Sandra Bullick doing with his
21:56
rough trade? And I don't know if he already had a reality show,
21:59
but he maybe got a reality show out of this boost. But anyway,
22:02
cheated on Sandra Bullock. Fuck that guy, Yeah, same as Sny Twain.
22:06
Schnia Twain's partner left her for like her old friend or something. I'm
22:08
like, what, Johnny Twain, have you not? Have you not seen
22:14
the video for Man? I feel like a woman. I'm sorry. She's
22:17
got the man's shirts, scorched short skirt and the hat and oh my god.
22:21
Scientists have said that her facial structure is like the perfect human being?
22:25
Are you out of your mind? Not just scientists, Guy Davis said this
22:30
not not not just beautiful, but look incredibly talented she did don't impress me
22:34
much. I'll tell you what, sir, who cheated on Sny Twayne,
22:37
You don't impress me much, not at all anyway. And the third one
22:40
is dumber, dumber as the clue we're talking Jeffrey dumber, no dumber and
22:45
Greg Oh Okay, then we're talking the actress Jennet Elfman, who's Doctor Flintstones'
22:51
Viva Rock Vegas. Oh dad, because that is a good bit. It
22:56
really is. I think it might be better than the one with John Goodman.
23:00
Yeah. I showed Elliott recently and he really liked it. Yeah.
23:02
Good Films got the Greg Gazoo. Oh yep, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha,
23:08
gotcha because Jenna Elfman, Okay, Dama from Dama and Gregg is torn
23:15
between two fellas, one of him as a priest, one of him as
23:18
a rabbi. It's like the old joke, well maybe it's like a joke.
23:22
I don't know. But the priest is played by Wood Norton, the
23:26
rabbi is played by Ben Stella, and the movie is called Keeping the Faith.
23:30
Not a bad movie. To the best of my recollection. It sounds
23:33
like a fun Friday night a bit of popcorn watch it with you, missus
23:37
movie. It kind of is. Yeah. I mean, I don't think
23:38
I've revisited many many years, but remember when I was watching going this is
23:42
fun frothy. It seems like the same kind of veins, like I know
23:47
how to lose a guy in ten days kind of vibe. Is that what
23:48
it's going for? Yeah? I think so. Yeah, which another perfectly
23:52
acceptable romcom, How to lose a guy in ten days? Is great?
23:55
If that's fine. Yeah, they're keeping the faith, yes, directed by
23:57
Directed Maye wood Norton. By the way, Oh wow, I did not
24:00
know that. Yes, the Rules of Engagement still holding strong at number one,
24:03
twenty eight days at number two, and keeping the Faith at number three
24:06
on the US box office when The Deep South originally aired in the US.
24:10
Oh, I want to ask it a question, all right, So my
24:14
first question for you today is when or what time his homie is going to
24:18
be awake according to the clock on his neck when he's having a sleep.
24:22
Damn it. Oh that's a good one. And I must have looked away
24:26
when that happened, because I don't know. I'm gonna throw one out there
24:30
and say one thirty pm at seven PM. I couldn't be more wrong.
24:34
Yes, the sun was setting, He's going to be waking up at seven.
24:37
Yet my question to you, then, my first question is what is
24:41
Bender's call sign when he's making that deal that's blue Raven Because that was one
24:45
of my questions. Not gonna lie My next one is what was the main
24:51
article on the front page of Atlantic Monthly O? Bender was reading it.
24:55
Bender was reading that when I were saying, where's Fry's where where's he going?
25:00
And Bender's just sitting there reading a magazine. It's called Atlantic Monthly Letter
25:03
Monthly. I do not know. Please give me a short fiction by a
25:07
clam That's what it says. At what depth is the planet express ship when
25:15
the meter breaks or when it breaks? Oh? Good question. I want
25:21
to say three and a half thousand feet. If you double that, you're
25:23
correct seven thousand, seven thousand. I thought that was I thought five thousand
25:30
feet when it when they hit the bottom. I'm pretty sure when they when
25:33
the glass shadows in it, it's like it's gone to seven thousand. Okay,
25:37
what were they It was five thousand something when they hit the bottom.
25:40
What was it? I think they can't go lower than five thousand, or
25:44
at five thousand ill get crushed or something. They mentioned five thousand that's right
25:47
here. So yeah, so basically they get at five thousand feets when they
25:49
hit the bottom, because because leader says we're stranded three thousand miles, what
25:55
it can't be five thousand feet must be most more. I must have sucked
25:57
that up because she says we're stranded three thousand miles below the surface, so
26:03
it must be five thousand. I don't know. I hope someone of the
26:07
future am I got five for that blunder. We've definitely made a mistake with
26:11
their notes. That's all good. We dared to presume we're smarter than the
26:15
future Armor riders. Yes, all right, so let's get into a review
26:18
of the episode. The original air date of The Deep South was April six
26:22
and through thousand A production code two ACV one two, written by J.
26:26
Stewart Burns, directed by Brett Harland, I guess Our Donovan and Parker Posey
26:30
opening caption is a stern warning of things to come, and the opening cartoon
26:34
in the in the in the intro well scrap Happy Daffy from nineteen forty three.
26:40
So the episode kicks off with Planet Express crew at the HQ and Hermie
26:45
stinks he's purchased a pet license for Nibbler, but unfortunately he's purchased a fishing
26:48
license and it's mandatory. Very cute that both the Leela and Bender are picking
26:55
knits, and that Bender's knits are the ones that end up on Nibbler.
27:00
And then I wasn't a fan of hermis being so cruel about Nibbler love to
27:03
toss a little bars and in a sack and like throw them into space.
27:06
I'm like, come down, really doesn't like Nimbler. But they then go
27:11
fishing. Of course, they fly show just over the exact center of the
27:15
Atlantic Ocean. I thought the animation was quite odd in this. I just
27:19
noticed how the water was like its own thing. Did you notice that how
27:22
it was sort of like it's like computerized the water or something. It was
27:25
weird. I seemed to recall that animation wasn't doing that at the time that
27:30
either and either water was the hardest thing to animate or the easiest. But
27:33
yeah, for a while, if you're watching an animated movie or TV show,
27:37
they were really messing around with the water, and it always looked a
27:40
little bit uncanny. It's like you're either too real or not real enough,
27:44
but you're out of sync with the rest of the animation. Yeah, it
27:47
was just so different to everything else that it just stood out a lot.
27:48
But they fly over international waters, of course, So I've been to receives
27:52
a package. Guess what your accessories to. Have you ever been an accessory
27:56
to something unwillingly? I'm sure I have. But something happens you're here.
28:04
I'm just not telling anybody about that. My son the sea air good friends.
28:11
Lelah's right, fishing blows. What do you say? We make it
28:14
interact thing cool? Everybody kicking five bucks? Yeah, wasn't that interesting?
28:21
Bender? I could never be a scammer. I just don't think I've got
28:23
the temperament for it. And Fry says, I'm you know you're in trouble.
28:26
Bender. I've once got a fish this big and obviously been it does
28:30
the extended arms. I'm got to fish this big. It's one of the
28:32
old classic fishing tails. I've got to fish this big. I think when
28:36
you're a kid, what age has become no longer cute? When you go
28:38
my fish was this big, It's like, oh, how cute? This
28:41
fish wasn't that big? But you know, he just let him think that.
28:44
Like when you're a teenage you're like, I've got a fish this big.
28:45
It's like, piss off, mate, Now you didn't. It's like,
28:48
and your dick is this big? Yes? But then Leila says,
28:53
you know You're in trouble, both of you, because I'm a woman who
28:56
owns her own harpoon. Bender mock sash if she throws the harpoon in hes
28:59
bum, then Hermi's he's wearing his speedos and he's going through his different baits.
29:03
We got squid and crickets and chicken necks and zooberg office. He's critiquing
29:08
skills. He does indeed and gets right in there. I think the night
29:12
roll has got five stars. M Yes, definitely, indeed and just treating
29:17
like a seagull get out of here, and then it does the sound like
29:18
you're saying, kind of like the Three Stooges. Then Bender shows off his
29:25
laser guided fishing rod and fry says he's being too loud. I think that's
29:29
actually a think it'd be too loud to scare away the fish is a thing
29:32
you think you can really I think it'll be more like, hey, I'm
29:34
throwing rocks in the water. That would that would scare away fish. But
29:38
I'm being too loud now, I think that's silly. But Bender then hits
29:41
a ship between the eyes, which is of course fry le than harpoons a
29:45
boot. She thinks she's got something, but it's just the boot. So
29:48
this is where you go shopping for your boots. I'm like, what a
29:49
zinger? That is pretty good. I mustn't if you can. That's right
29:55
on target. The perfect thing for Amy is that she plays the dumb girl
29:59
so well that she can get bibe of saying things like that, n acting
30:02
oblivious, but really she knows. She knows. Then Fry catches a really
30:07
small fish, which is a perfect for a fish nugget style chocolate as he
30:11
calls it. What the hell's a chunkolate? Have you ever had a chunkolts
30:12
before? I never, I've never heard of that. Actually, I mean
30:15
I kind of like the sound of it because there's just a chicken bite or
30:18
something I reckon. So yeah, I mean I keep saying those ads for
30:22
like the Hungry Jack's Chicken don't whatever. They don't get it. They're not
30:26
good. My uncle Darren, who I think listens to this podcast, he
30:30
got it last weekend, And you're right. You see the pictures, You're
30:34
like, I'm going to try that. That looks delicious, and they show
30:38
me the picture and it, no, shit, looks like just your classic
30:41
processed chicken from any fast food place. I'm like, that is not what's
30:45
in the picture. Okay, Well I'm just I'm fine. I'll go and
30:48
make my own. I'll go to the supermarket and I'll get some nice chicken
30:52
wrist and i'll make Sometimes you can't make chicken if you make it home.
30:53
Sometimes you just hit that sweet spot and just tastes fucking amazing, you know.
30:57
Oh yeah, yes, I'm going to That's night for dinner. I
31:00
think you've just sold me on that. Then Bender hits fry again for any
31:04
small intestine with the hook and leader catches. This is actually great gag.
31:07
It's twenty times heavy than any boot, ten pairs of boots. You knew
31:12
it was coming, but it was still funny. Professor then shows off he's
31:17
fish. Pheromone and Zoiebergs are so into him. Good a good kick out
31:21
the oh my, but the zoidberg what do they call the what's what's their?
31:29
The Decapodians is what they called. I think the squid things on the
31:33
face. Just just think that he's raised in general, Yeah, just the
31:36
way they the way they show emotion and kiss each other, it's just like
31:38
fucking gross. One doesn't want to think about fish and sexuality. It's cut.
31:47
Yeah, it just coliches up all manner of just gross and slimy images.
31:51
I mean, the least with animals a kind of like yeah, I
31:53
can sort of yeah, that kind of makes sense. I mean they're all
31:57
moving parts, but eggs and fertile those are and all that kind of stuff.
32:00
Sorry, we're skipping to the end, but no, it gives me.
32:02
That gives me the Wiggins that he be jeebies but fry then catches are
32:07
pretty decent fish and benders throws in the towels. That's it. I'm not
32:09
going to catch anything. If I'm not going to catch a fish, then
32:12
might as well not catch a big fish. And he steals Amy's umbrella and
32:15
he had and he uses the diamond the filament tether I think it was,
32:20
and it belonged to Professor's grandmother. That gave purely to set up the fact
32:22
that it's unbreakable. And because like that would be like the first thing people
32:27
would ask if they didn't set up the fact that this this line was unbreakable.
32:30
It's like why did that thing drag a ship under water? But anyway,
32:32
he uses the man which is bait, and we get the of course,
32:35
the man which gag the son is now setting Amy's sunburnt hermy, He's
32:40
gonna wake up at seven. Leather is still going for it, though she's
32:43
very determined. There was another element to this story we haven't touched on yet
32:45
that I feel like they wanted us to believe that Leather was disappointed that Fry
32:51
was jealous at first that he's going with his mermaid, but then also really
32:53
sad and disappointed that he's not going to be coming to the surface because she's
32:55
into him, without actually saying it, because she was like what about us?
33:00
Yeah. Yeah, they may have been a little too subtle with that,
33:01
because it's not something that really sprang to mind while I was watching this.
33:06
I mean, maybe that's something to do with the fact that Umbrell was
33:08
just so done adorable. It's like, yeah, yeah, it's more like
33:12
a missed opportunity than oh yeah, everything's back to normal. Yeah. It
33:16
wasn't necessarily like just beauty design wise, it was just Parker Posey's voice could
33:21
make you fall in love with anybody. Seriously, She's just so sly.
33:23
Yeah, and then Leader's got something. It's alive this time, but it
33:27
turns out. It's just another boot that's being held by doctor Zoeberg. He
33:30
was eating it, so she said, that's it. We're giving up,
33:31
We're going home. Amy wakes up. She's incredibly sunburns, but she's got
33:35
a honkive. Bender is great on her back because uses I remember went to
33:38
schoolies so it would have been two thousand and six, and my mate did
33:43
this with his phone number on his back, so when he walked around school,
33:45
these people would know his phone number. It did work. It is
33:47
a good an idiot. I think that's still a pretty decent attention grabber.
33:54
Yeah, it's a good strategy, yes, but it's almost like I feel
33:59
like girls would just like I add a spite not doing it. I don't
34:04
know, but because when he fasted, I was like, pretty clever idea.
34:07
Yeah it's not a good idea, but it's a clever idea. Yeah.
34:14
Leither then says pulling your lines and they realize that Bender has hooked a
34:16
colossal mouth bass and you can't do a fishing trip without catching the giant fish,
34:22
can you? Like? They do it the symptoms he catches General what's
34:25
his name? General? It was a general Sherman. General Sherman. That's
34:29
the one. Yes, he goes by the name of Hammer, but yeah,
34:36
yeah, it's a great one. But I'm drag the ship under the
34:38
water. Zoiber tries to save them by cutting the unbreakable line. Doesn't work.
34:42
At least he's going to die with his friends that they're all bailing on
34:45
him. This is the thing, though, why did Zorber care he could
34:49
just swam? He lives in water. Why why was he worried? Why
34:52
why was he going to die? You can live in water, He's fine.
34:58
And then this is another gag that does really it raises more questions and
35:00
it answers. He's so Hermie's speedos rise to the top of the water,
35:06
right how how? Oh? Yeah? Oh yeah, Like he got into
35:15
the ship when before they went under the water. Did he open up the
35:21
latch when he went under the water and throw his undees out? Like?
35:22
Why? M But there that's one for the ages. We we're at five
35:29
thousand feet one hundred and fifty atmospheres worth of pressure and you know, not
35:32
gonna go well because the ship can only handle one And then they hear a
35:37
sound and when if you're underwater and in some like submarine, or something like
35:40
that. And to hear that kind of sound, you're like, uh,
35:44
oh, wearing some strife right now. And Bender says, there's someone bending
35:47
some girders, and everything starts smashing, including Professor's glasses and the little clocks,
35:52
and Bender's eyes start smashing. Then the pipe start leaking. They said,
35:57
we're gonna have to release some pressure. How we're gonna do it,
35:59
and prices up back in a minute, much as the toy that comes back
36:01
saves the day purely by accident. That was a good gay. That was
36:05
a pretty good gay. That's one of the scariest things about you know,
36:07
the sea though. I mean, first of all, it's like when you
36:10
can drown, it's unforgiving. That that's the yeah, the first and foremost.
36:15
But then it's like if you gonn deep enough, it'll actually crush you.
36:19
Yes, it's like anything anything scarier than than the water is fire,
36:23
true, because like at least some of water, if you drown, it's
36:27
like it's going to be somewhat painful and terrifying, but it's terrifying. And
36:30
then all of a sudden, peaceful, peaceful fire, you are burning to
36:34
death. Like I don't think there was a worse way, Like would you
36:37
rather be eaten by a shark or burn to death? There is there a
36:40
third option. I'd go with the shark. I think, yeah, I
36:45
felt the shark. You would die way sooner, way quicker. Yeah,
36:49
but fire. Also, if we're taking death out of the equation, there's
36:54
a chance you could like pull a Mick Fanning and like poke a shark and
36:58
they are punch it on the bottle and maybe maybe make a get away.
37:05
You can't punch fire. Believe me, I've tried it. We realize here
37:07
the fish has got away. It's far worse than they ever thought, and
37:10
they're stranded three thousand miles at the bottom of the ocean. Campers are wearing
37:14
thin. Let's just hope some robot doesn't kill everybody. The important thing is
37:19
that we're dought panic. There are rules for situations like this. No,
37:22
the first order of business is lunch. I suggest a nice loves the Zoidberg
37:28
I mean Lobster Newberg, I mean doctor Zoidberg. This is the kind of
37:31
thing, though, like I don't know, imagine me in a situation where
37:35
it's like, all right, guys, we just need to just throw it
37:37
on the table. Cannibalism may be a thing here. May you have to
37:39
become an option. Who's going first? And Leila says that Zoidberg and Bender
37:45
they can survive in water, so they can go look for food. Fri
37:47
says, I better go too, because they don't know what I like.
37:51
I also do that when like I'll be like with friends or whatever and they're
37:53
going to get like macas or CAFs, I better go just in case they
37:57
get the wrong thing. I want to get what I like and what I
37:59
like, I'm just gonna go. I'm going to come just to make sure
38:01
amateurs are just going to go. You give us five big macs and a
38:06
few quarter pounds, like, there's so much more to explore. Professor then
38:12
says, you know. He offers Fry his experimental anti pressure pill, which
38:15
is a suppository that looked painful. Yeah, you wanted to be a little
38:21
more streamlined and maybe a little less sizeable. A lot of things going in
38:25
the butt this episode. They're out collecting food, Fries doing okay, just
38:29
it's like a garbage bag almost. He's getting his air out of and Bender
38:34
he jacks on with the electric eel and Zoiberg eats the lot. What are
38:37
these fish called. They're scary fish at bottom the ocean with like the light
38:38
bulb. Oh Alie calls him the nightmare fish. Let's go with that.
38:46
I think that's appropriate. They are terrifying. Yeah. It was really disappointed
38:51
though, because they had that on the pamphlet of the Melbourne Aquarium. But
38:52
I actually have one. They have like a display kind of thing about one.
38:57
So Ali was so looking forward to seeing a nightmare fish, and then
38:59
he did see one, is all he can complain about. It's like,
39:01
no, no, I'm like, it's a twenty four gator right there.
39:05
There's not a nightmare fish. Dinosaur kids, get it. I'm gonna throw
39:09
him with the with the croc. Yeah, then you get a nightmare exactly
39:15
right. Yeah, but yeah, you know, Zoidberg runs awa from,
39:19
runs away from the fish, hides in a shell. Look at me,
39:21
doctor Zoidberg, home owner. And they come across the pirate ship. Careful,
39:27
fry, I think that flag might be poisonous. Ah, Hi,
39:30
maybe I shan't hide us some hardy grub a the lies of science. Be
39:40
a hish mistress, say Roberts, old buddy, because you help me move
39:45
a couch okay, but I'm might carrying upstairs. Then this is a great
39:50
animation. Gag. I'm not moving anything upstairs, and they both just like
39:53
this, step into this shell and just disappearing. It's like added the scene
39:57
for a minute. That's what that was funny, the way they handled that.
40:00
This is where Umbreel arrives and Fryers can't believe it. Imagine seeing a
40:02
real life fucking mermaid. He'd like, what the hell I know? Blow
40:06
your mind? Yeah, and he tries to explain it to the water what
40:08
he's seen. Lemonade, big parade, shouldn't learns have been repaid and now
40:15
fry We cut to fry over the dinner table and he's still babbling, take
40:19
the swally your food and then speak because I'm an out full of dinner.
40:23
And nobody believes in that he saw a mermaid. They think he's crazy.
40:28
And then you know, he says, there's plenty of crazy crazy things to
40:30
sit at the bottom the as look at Zoeberg and that's another aspect of the
40:32
other episode as well. Zoyberg was just setting up house. He's just like,
40:36
all right, this is life now, and fucking gold for it.
40:37
You know, he was right at home. He should have just stayed there.
40:39
They should, I know, his house band should have set up another
40:43
place. He was love a life down there, but he would have been
40:45
lonely, of course. But anyway, Leila says, that's now it's ocean
40:47
madness. And I feel like they wanted this to be a thing but just
40:51
didn't seem to work with me. Like I know. Oh, I think
40:53
they were trying to make it into a into a thing, trying to make
40:57
fair chappen, but it wasn't wasn't quite hitting the mark. But I'm frying
41:00
storms out in anger. You know, maybe ocean madness, but that's no
41:04
excuse for ocean rudeness. Now, was he putting a lot of He was
41:08
like trying to put oxygen in the suitcase before. Not quiet. So he's
41:13
in the bedroom. This is the first time we see the quarters of the
41:15
of the Planet express ship the bedroom and umbrella to plead to the window.
41:17
She says, come outside, So he just tries to slam so as much
41:21
air as possible into a suitcase. That's right, that's hilarious. And then
41:24
she gives him the device to breathe as they call him a breather in Atlanta.
41:29
Here you go, darling. Hey, I can breathe and talk just
41:35
like a fish. Oh you speak fish? No? No what, I'm
41:39
sorry? My accents atrocious. My name's Umbria. I'm fry. So am
41:46
I gonna drown? Of course not. Just stay calm and let the general
41:51
currents relax your every muscle. Oh yeah, did he just get warmer?
41:57
I can't believe you're really real. I like your tail. Oh you're sweet.
42:00
I like those weekly duo dads coming out of your hips. Oh thanks,
42:05
they're called pants. This here's a volcanic fan. The water comes out
42:09
at over four thousand degrees No kidding? Did it just get colder? Tell
42:17
me more about that bizarre landing world you come from. Is there water there
42:22
too? Sure? Sometimes it falls from the sky and sometimes it doesn't.
42:28
Oh, mister Fry, you do go on. You know what I like
42:31
best about you, Umbriel? You find me fascinating, even when I'm not
42:35
claiming to be a jewel fief for a lion teamer. Lions. There are
42:38
sea lions on the land. Yep, we call them land sea lions.
42:43
I team them. We get the montage of them just hanging out having a
42:45
great day together. Whilst Atlantis by Donovan plays in the background. It was
42:50
it was the perfect song for the moment. I think, yeah, it
42:52
really was both in terms of thematically because of the I wanted to see Kingdom
42:57
and all that, but just the rhythms of it are really a magical This
43:00
is the magical world he's just discovered coming in soothing exactly right, you know,
43:05
even if they are watching a whale and the squid battle to the death,
43:07
that was pretty coold. All was missing was but I love that they
43:13
had their little flags for for each side. Yeah, and then they're obviously
43:15
writing the sting ray as well, and he writes I love you with like
43:19
the light up electric fish or whatever. And then Professor Farnsworth has upgraded the
43:24
ship's propulsion system, which we find out what it is a little bit later.
43:28
Later asked where fries and Hemie says he's out looking for that mermaid probably,
43:30
and she reiterates ocean madness, and I was like, yeah, this
43:34
isn't really sticking, but you're trying. You're trying your best appreciate it.
43:37
But they say we're gonna have to go out and try and find in the
43:39
all and need oxygen in case of emergency, my ass is a flotation device.
43:44
And then Professor reminds me of that. Reminds Professor speaking of asks about
43:47
the pills. Yes, yes, we've insard of them. Don't worry.
43:51
Then Zoiberg sniffs him out. There's another question, right, So they go
43:54
out the pressure area of the ship and they use the pills, but they
44:00
come back in. They're never wet. Oh, I didn't really notice that.
44:05
Like FRI's hair always stays on, like up and things like, it's
44:08
like their hair, their hair is never affected by being wet. It's like
44:12
it's weird because you can breathe underwater, doesn't mean you're not getting wet.
44:15
Wet, but the eagle eyes of Dando folks. But they go outside and
44:20
Zoberg stifts them out where the water is getting warm, and they go towards
44:22
it and they discover who could it be? Are the old legends true?
44:27
It's the lost City of Atlanta. It's a nice reveal plos City of Atlanta.
44:35
Yes, it's really well done the way they've handled all this. Yeah,
44:38
incorporating real life world with the future. But also I guess this is
44:43
futuristic because there are spacip under the water in that sense. But I know,
44:45
like it doesn't feel spacey, does it. This episode feels more.
44:51
It feels like a fantasy. It feels like a fantasy in the venture down
44:52
under the Water. Yeah, So the colonel greets them and bend it does
44:55
a deliverance music. It's hilarious and it gives them all breathes. They can
45:00
breathe, and Professor says he wants it to be a suppository instead fascination with
45:02
the with the asses and now the Colonel says that the tourism is their main
45:07
source of income, so please spend all your money and please don't leave.
45:10
Then Fry rocks up with Umbrell and Bennetts. I knew you, I knew
45:15
you'd be alive. Are you ten dollars? Hermes? And then he introduces
45:17
Umbriel to these Yankees, and Umbriel she's she's in denial. I guess maybe
45:23
she's not in denial, but she's just been confused as to the true history
45:27
of Atlanta, isn't she. Oh yeah, she thinks Atlanta was on the
45:30
same level as Paris and New York. Welcome from It's a bit of a
45:36
bad bit of a bad rap for Atlanta, which is apparently a very nice
45:38
place. WHI was a lovely place. Yeah, but they do love taking
45:42
the mickey out of various locations around America in Futurama and New Jersey. Yeah,
45:49
I mean there are certain American cities, if you've grown up watching US
45:52
sitcoms, certain places get a bit of a nudging or a bit of a
45:55
sledging, And yet Jersey is one of them. Cleveland, there was a
46:00
city was always sort of traders a bit second, right, I don't think
46:02
I've ever heard of Atlanta getting a bad rap before. Luckily Donald Glover came
46:07
to the rescue and did four seasons of the show called Atlanta that I think
46:10
rebranded is like, no, it's actually pretty cool. Join. Then they
46:15
show off the video that talks about the history of Atlanta, voiced by or
46:20
narrated by Donovan. Atlanta was a city landlocked hundreds of miles from the area
46:25
were now called the Atlantic Ocean, yet so desperate the city's desire for tourism
46:31
that they moved offshore, becoming an island an an even bigger delta hub,
46:37
until the city overdeveloped and it started to sink. Knowing their fate, the
46:43
quality people ran away Ted Turner, Thank Adam, Jeff Foxworthy, the guy
46:49
who invented Coca Cola, the Magician, and the other so called gods of
46:53
our legends, though gods they were, and also Jane Fonda was there.
46:59
The others choose to remain behind on their porches with their rifles and one day
47:05
evolve into mermaids and sing and dance and ring. In the new they put
47:13
a Ted Turner statue down, which is a gag that just feels very dated
47:15
now. It really does. Yeah, but for a while, their Ted
47:20
Turner was at the synonymous with Atlanta and particularly you know, his Cable News
47:22
Network scene and then which we get a really nice funny visual gang where they
47:27
refer to it as c Sea n He kind of kind of visit out,
47:30
didn't The old Ted Turner kind of did. Although I imagine he's probably sleeping
47:36
on a well it's Ted stor with us think Ted Turner passed away? Did
47:39
he not? I believe so, But I'm pretty sure up to all his
47:43
final days he was sleeping on a bed full of money. No, says
47:46
Ted Turner. You know he hasn't passed away. I apologize, Ted Turner.
47:50
He's still alive. At the ripe old age of eighty four, or
47:53
keep at it, keep out of Ted, and you know he's probably living
47:58
the high life somewhere down in the South. Good on him, Ted turning
48:00
nearly single handley, I say single Handley. He funded it, put Vince
48:02
fit Man out of business. He started his own wrestling company WCW, which
48:07
is where he had the Evil Hulk Hogan and all those guys rocked up and
48:09
they were based in Atlanta, Georgia, and nearly did it, but then
48:13
due to poor, poor management, mismanaged. They spent a lot of money
48:16
and went making enough back in return, and it went out of business and
48:19
got brought out by Vincent Man. But yes, teens always gets the upper
48:24
hand. And the Ted turn of statue was put down in Atlanta caused the
48:27
island to be overdeveloped and it sunk to the bottom of the ocean. The
48:30
main people, like the celebrities that the rich left on on a lifeboat,
48:35
and the rest chose to stay and evolve into mermaids. And due to the
48:37
caffeine speeding things up, they were able to evolve into mermaids very very quickly.
48:40
That stuff's wonderful. I was about to say benders, sort of calling
48:45
out the chronology take millions of years. Yeah, we're now having dinner at
48:51
Colonel's. And I liked the nickname for Fry old Legs here calls him legs.
48:57
He's growing on him and herms. He knows. Yeah, it's lovely
49:00
what you got here. But I do miss my wife and the oxygen.
49:01
No, yes, we all love We all miss our loved ones and our
49:04
gases. The Fry decides that he is going to stay. He's staying.
49:07
I really can't believe it. You know what she said, why would you
49:10
want to leave? Why would you want to stay? You're gonna miss us?
49:13
And Professor says that if you don't come with us, you do realize
49:16
that your body will adapt to the pressure and you can't return to the surface.
49:19
But I've realize it. I don't even understand it, stand it.
49:22
That's a perfect Fry line, It really was. And Zoberg he's got a
49:28
place just outside of town. Can you can visit sometime? And turns of
49:30
the colonel. Colonel's this given. No, He's like, I want to
49:32
get to the country club. I love it. They're very nice about the
49:37
South, but they're realizing also these guys might be pretty racist. I think
49:44
it's a country club. I love the idea of being a part of a
49:45
country club, but I wouldn't buy into the whole exclusivity where it's like,
49:49
you can't do this and you can't do that. Cause I live in a
49:51
state here and they have their rules, and I'm just like the fucker.
49:54
I pay my money, I'm doing what I want. You can't tell me
49:57
I can't part my car at the front of my house. Fuck yourself.
50:00
They're like, when we first moved into this estate, one of the rules
50:02
specifically said you cannot park a ute at the front of your house. And
50:07
it is not It's got to be a saddan sidan or a family vehicle,
50:13
got to be a ute. And I'm like, you can't tell people what
50:15
vehicles they can park their house. They probably would pronunce it saddan sad.
50:22
Yeah, I'm sorry. From paying my damn money, then, yeah,
50:25
I'm not handing over my heart and they have more rules imposed on me.
50:30
No, it's kind of why you get money in the first place, so
50:32
you don't have to follow rules. See see that footpath at the front of
50:36
my house, that's all cracked. It hasn't been fixed in six years.
50:37
Fixed that first, then I'll move me you. But yeah, so he's
50:44
not allowed to go visit Zoieberg and bend it. I like the Bender was
50:46
genuinely sad here. It wasn't like a fake sadness. He was just really
50:50
sad. He's gonna misfry. And then they right back to the ship.
50:53
Nobody cares that they're going to be as Zobeg staying as well. I kind
50:55
of feel bad for Zoiebeg there as well, my home throwing down. Oh
51:02
how did this happen? That's a very good question. So that's where I
51:08
left my cigar. That just raises further questions. Umbrella then wants him to
51:14
make a murder woman out of murder me. That's what she says, and
51:17
fries getting the vapors. He jumps into bed, Brah flies away, boobs
51:22
galore, and he realized that he can't have sex, like I should be
51:24
that other kind fish part on top and the woman on the bottom. I
51:30
mean, it would be better sexually, but I don't think it'd be more
51:32
appealing to look at fry Fry showing a distinct lack of imagination, he shall
51:37
we say yes, it's what did you think Fry was gonna happen? What
51:42
do you think was going to happen? Fry? You know, just enjoy
51:45
a little surf and turf. Yeah, I just felt so bad for She's
51:46
like, oh, he's gonna don't even know what that means. She's just
51:49
I feel so bad for He's gonna take me to the debutime ball and he's
51:51
like that young duke one from making. But I'm like, poor woman,
51:54
like she just like as he said, Parker Posey just makes her so lovely,
51:58
an appeal of healing. And he's just like, we're the best for
52:00
her because she never fucks ever. Fry, she just she gave her all
52:02
to him, so she opened up. She's just incompatible. She took him
52:06
in and then she was just like perfect. He was perfect foreign and she
52:08
just dashed and fried and a rise. At the ship, he realizes they're
52:13
leaving like the tail on the back of the ship. That's the change that
52:15
Professor has made to get out of there. And he grabs on to the
52:19
giant hook callback and it gets dragged out and of course another callback we get
52:22
the basses returned yes Man, which arrived in the land and bends being offered
52:29
a thousand dollars for catching the breaking the record for the heaviest fish or whatever.
52:32
Then Fry falls out of the mouth along with the man, which it's
52:36
all coming full circle, and you know, he said, well, what
52:39
about Umbrell? I loved her, but I wasn't in love with her.
52:43
Trouble, and we all had a moment where our friends have said something and
52:47
I'm like, yeah, I know what you're saying, but I know what
52:50
you really mean. Yeah, we're all good at subtext here. Yes,
52:53
I won't, I won't, I won't mention it. I know what you
52:55
mean though, And unfortunately, because Fry and the man which are fallen out
52:59
of the mouth of the back, the weight has gone down and now Bender
53:01
is not getting his thousand dollars, so he's choking Fry. Meanwhile, Zoidberg
53:05
is now living inside the bass opens up the girls like a blinder. I'm
53:07
trying to sleep Venetian blinds. If we get Donovan saying hey or Atlanta just
53:13
before they're closing credits there and Yeah, just a fun episode, an episode
53:16
that I don't think I've ever given enough love too that I loved this episode,
53:21
but I definitely enjoyed. I remember when I watched this Originally it wasn't
53:23
one of my favorites for some reason, but I've recatched now I'm like,
53:25
yes, maybe because i've I would have watched this before i'd had my first
53:30
like true love and things like that, So I guess that aspects more appealing
53:32
to me now. Yeah. Yeah. Plus, you know, look,
53:36
it's a pretty good episode in a lot a lot of ways, and it
53:38
is just given a bit of spike into occasional greatness or much more enjoyability by
53:44
the presence of miss Posey as as Umbrell. I think, yes, definitely.
53:46
All right, guys, well that is our review of the Deep sol
53:49
If hope you all enjoy it. Thank you for you support here on the
53:51
Fourth Finger Discount Patreon. Next episode on Tails the Future, we are reviewing
53:55
Bender gets made a bit of it. Maybe I think this is a Good
53:59
Fellas parody, Oh is it? I think it's just the Mafia movie in
54:02
general parody. He becomes part of the Mafia. But Goodfellas is kind of
54:07
like the premier Mafia movies. So once again, the unified theory of four
54:10
Finger Discount holds steady. Yet, because we are also recorded the most recent
54:15
episode of four Finger Discounts where on the Road. He doesn't in that episode
54:22
as well, folks, and oh, it's just a joy to hear.
54:23
It's like having a little jug of warm honey being poured into your ear.
54:30
But they mentioned Atlanta in that one as well, so you know it's all
54:32
connected. It is connected to end. All right, guys, we're out.
54:36
This has been the deep sapp have you have a fantastic couple of weeks
54:38
and we're back with our Benny gets made catch later, Samson Davis, my Man Wig
