Episode 158: Favorite Doomsday Episodes

Tonight at 11 … DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!! Listen in as Luke and Gabe continue the ALM victory lap, and list their favorite Futurama episodes where Earth or the Universe was nearly (or actually) destroyed. Follow us on Twitter @ALMPod or on Facebook at facebook.com/almpod/. Check out our website at almpod.com. On this show: Our crack research team submits a list of two dozen doomsday episodes to choose from. Luke and Gabe lay out their definitions as to how doom-like an episode need be to make their list. Gabe does his Morbo impression at least twice. Luke and Gabe discuss how some doomsday Futurama episodes invoke Star Wars, The Matrix, and maybe Dune. Gabe walks us through the story structure of a hero narrative, and how the Futurama writers, showrunners and voice actors give a masterclass on how to apply it to satire.
