Check out Gabe's new comic INTO THE WILDERNESS. The Kickstarter campaign ends Wednesday March 31st! http://kck.st/30TzUol

Show Notes
[01:47]
Izzy dislikes that creepy sound in the Game of Tones. It gives an impression of horror vibes and reminds her of the movie Annihilation.
[05:01]
Luke: it’s a great vehicle to achieve the point of Fry talking to his family. However, there is no clear structure and consequence of the said episode.
[06:25]
Gabe felt that the planet-destroying spaceship was overcomplicated.
[07:40]
Fry wants to find the source of the tone to save the world, but he needs to reconnect with his Mom. However, there is no specific reason why Fry needs to find his Mom, character-wise, that made things less emotionally impactful.
First Act
[14:04]
Gabe finds the thought spikes intriguing. He sees the “communication function” as a combination of danger and weird because of how it looks (like a paper cone), and you can dispose of it right away.
[22:47]
Fry taking out his clothes and getting a job offer at Lehman Brothers is a specific joke about the 2008 Global Recession.
[25:39]
Gabe thought that the first act did a great job concealing what is about to happen. But his biggest problem with the episode is precisely its strengths. There are hints that Fry misses his family, but there is no compelling reason why he needs to specifically see his mother—what is it in her that he needs to get to fulfill something?
[27:44]
Izzy thought that Fry always had that feeling of missing his past.
Second Act
[40:09]
Luke suggested that rules can be anything in a human dream. It is a combination of different things blended based on emotion rather than the direct memories of reality—a collection of reveries.
[42:29]
Gabe thought that, like the First Act, it suffers from a lack of specificity. It would have been better if Fry said something he has in mind to his Mom.
Third Act
[21:31 – Part 2]
Luke appreciated the show’s nuances in letting the audience fill in the blanks rather than dragging them on the journey. It felt more realistic because not everything you encounter in life fits a hero’s journey narrative.
Theories and Insights
[29:50 – Part 2]
Izzy felt that the writers don’t want Fry’s character to be left without closure losing his family.
[30:46 – Part 2]
Gabe thought that this is a testament to Fry’s character development—starting from being juvenile and immature to be aware of his place in the world and write his own life.
Favorite Episodes about Fry
[32:36 – Part 2]
Luke loved the “The Luck of the Fryrish.” it is a journey about siblings and an essential journey of Fry, Bender, and Leela—the holy trinity.
[34:08 – Part 2]
Izzy corroborates Luke’s opinion, and she loved “The Luck of the Fryrish” because of how you can visibly see the characters’ learning, growth, and development.
[35:20 – Part 2]
Gabe: “Jurassic Park” is the best-written episode of Futurama.
Favorite Quotes
[36:54 – Part 2]
Izzy’s favorite quote was when Leela entered Fry’s dream telling him – “The world is ending, and your dream pants need changing!” and
[37:44 – Part 2]
Luke’s favorite quote was when Fry asked the crew and professor – “Can I have some milk and cookies first?” and the professor gave him what he wished—only in syringed form.
[40:08 – Part 2]
Gabe’s favorite was when Fry went to his old home and saw his Mom saying – “Go, you bastard! Kick that football. Oh, you blew it again!” Fry asked his Mom who was playing only to be told – “Nobody! I’m watching the Charlie Brown special.”
[42:47 – Part 2]
Luke’s last favorite quote was when Yancey commented to Fry– “How are you going to pay off your debt to the Columbia House Record Club if you keep losing jobs?”
[44:56 – Part 2]
Gabe’s last favorite quote when Fry entered his mother’s dream saying – “Hi Mom!” and her Mom responded – “Hi sweetie! Do you want some crackers and a cheese slice hat?”
A special bonus episode about Gabe’s new comic INTO THE WILDERNESS.

Show Notes:
Breaking down the episode
[01:47]
Luke played quite a few video games, especially the ones that are modeled off of the animation that they use in the second portion of this episode. He was impressed of this episode
[02:20]
Gabe think that this is definitely a coming from a place of love similar to the no fan has gone before episode where it's not about parodying or well it is about parroting but it's not about making fun of something because you don't like it.
Animation Styles and Music
[3:50]
There's a lot of changes in here, a lot of different costumes, a lot of different animation styles, and they're all really really great, just absolutely stunning and really something that I look forward to.
[4:28]
What stood out to Gabe about this episode was the music.
[10:00]
the makeup of the characters is very well kept. There's a significant change between what they look like in their normal e trauma world and what they look like now, but they still are completely recognizable as the characters.
First Act
[17:22]
This is something that we actually see very frequently in NP trauma, where they're three dimensional objects interacting with two dimensional objects. But of course, it's all done digitally.
[18:41]
Lila's exact quote is I love this time of day, there's such a beautiful stillness. It's not really made clear whether or not the characters are aware that their world is balancing, it could just be that like us humans in this world are not aware of the temperatures of all the atoms in our body. They're not aware of the bounciness of their own world.
[19:54]
Leila says, fry, I don't need a diamond, you've given me the most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen all the colors of the spectrum. Frye says not beautiful enough as well gal like you deserves better. And this is where we first encountered the limitations motif that Gabe was talking about in the beginning of the episode. Gabe remember really loving it.
[21:09]
For Luke It is paying a loving homage to the cartooning style, but it's also a very David x Cohen, future drama writer, Futurama animator style troll.
[23:55]
Gabe think it's just a great segment visually, a great omaze and just really great to watch.
Second Act
[26:41]
Luke think it's just a great segment visually, a great omaze and just really great to watch.
[29:00]
Lila turns to Francis Hey fry, I know something you could lay bare and then I says Lila. I'm trying to listen to a physics lecture. Gabe loves this joke.
[31:29]
This particular segment of future challenge 3000 was actually done entirely in Photoshop. According to the audio commentary was drawn on a one and a half inch canvas, or the frames are drawn on one and a half inch canvases with a one pixel Pencil tool.
Third Act
[42:51]
Gabe remember watching the first few seconds of this episode and my eyes like literally popping out of on his head. had a huge smile on my face, and thought, Oh, this is gonna be good
[45:32]
the voice acting is just perfectly executed. Like everything about this segment is just so great.
[46:47]
It’s no longer a workplace comedy as it was in the previous two segments.
[49:11]
For Luke the subtitle dialogue is so onpoint.
Favorite Segments
[54:00]
Luke loved the 3 segment which features anime style and lked the professor the most.
[55:52]
Thee one that Gabe don't want to say dislike because Gabe do like it, but it is the one that looks the least, like the futurama my character is Fry in this anime
[1:01:03]
Even though Luke don't watch anime he liked the subtitle dialogue game in this episode.
[1:06:00]
For luke the number two is the video game one and my number one is the Anime part he reason why is because luke have a very strong nostalgic connection to the video game style. And I have very little connection to the Fleischer style.
Favorite Quotes
[1:09:00– Part 2]
Tne line from scruffy in the video game part of the episode was one of the favorite lines Gabe loved and it's when they are looking at the particle, the makeup of all things or all mad or whatever. And they're talking about how the details are so finely rotten and the intricate beauty of the particle and scruffy says, :hm mirror and discography soul.”
[1:10:28]
Luke Liked the one of the alien proposes and the other alien just says blog blog 1000 times.
[42:47 – Part 2]
Gabe liked when Lila is back in the planet X was conference room she says “what is that box you old witch” referring to the professor and the professor responds “Haha, I will never tell you it's a deep space of motion detector.”
[44:56 – Part 2]
Gabe’s last favorite quote when Fry entered his mother’s dream saying – “Hi Mom!” and her Mom responded – “Hi sweetie! Do you want some crackers and a cheese slice hat?”
