DirkHOST
what makes you say and i say that because bender is very much the look at me i'm doing all this stuff i'm smoking cigars i'm getting all the the hussies and getting all this and and there's the and then while he's doing all this show stuff and everything he's he's like look at my head and his body is over there stealing money out of people's pockets So he would multiclass into Bard for the showmanship parts, for being high charisma, because he definitely pulls Fry and Leela into a lot of shenanigans.
DirkHOST
So somehow convinces them into it.
DirkHOST
I will point out Robohonica.
Anthony MaroonHOST
Who? The male gaze.
Anthony MaroonHOST

Anthony MaroonHOST
Sexy cartoon characters.
Anthony MaroonHOST

Anthony MaroonHOST

JimHOST
So in the Fallacy in the Wild we like to talk about the fallacy of the week from a non-political perspective and our first example this week comes from Futurama and this is an episode where Fry and Leela have gone on a romantic getaway they've gone to what they think is a resort but it turns out It is secretly a zoo run by Dr.
JimHOST
Banjo the orangutan.
JimHOST
The thing about this zoo is the people slash exhibits slash animals in it don't know they're in a zoo being looked at on cameras and stuff.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
It's, it's quotable, but I can't remember any of the quotes.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
Um, Leela is just wonderful in this.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
You know, the way she just stops to give that guy a peck on the cheek on the way in.
Joe FordHOST
Oh.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
Um, go watch The Face of Evil.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
Um, go and watch The Face of Evil and don't watch Doctor Who.
Fraser GregoryGUEST
Don't watch Tom Baker, watch Leela instead.
Joe FordHOST
Uh, well-
EricHOST
I guess like Father of the Bride, but I always thought it was more of Steve Martin's thing.
EricHOST
Katie Segal was Leela from Futurama.
EricHOST
She was Peg Bundy from Married with Children.
EricHOST
I was familiar with these characters as a middle schooler back then.
FrankHOST
swept off course.
FrankHOST
Leela's steering the ship and fries off in the background.
FrankHOST
And she's just
BrendanHOST
going...
ItalianBachHOST
I had the biggest crush on, she was probably my first crush.
ItalianBachHOST
Leela.
ItalianBachHOST
Leela, yeah.
Arthur FrederickHOST
Yeah.
Arthur FrederickHOST
And the Snoozy ladies, right?
Elliot J. O'NeillHOST
He's like, but I've got the need for speed.
Elliot J. O'NeillHOST
And Leela goes, I've got the nafty for safety.
Elliot J. O'NeillHOST
Yep.
Elliot J. O'NeillHOST
Macaulay Culkin definitely has the nafty for safety in this.
Lisa YaszekGUEST
Uh, I'm thinking about we can jump forward to something like Futurama.
Lisa YaszekGUEST
Again, I'm gonna shout out to Leela with, again, her amazing gravity-defying purple ponytail.
Lisa YaszekGUEST
Um, and I do think that this opens up- Uh, a tradition in Hollywood filmmaking where you can have these, um, more prominent female characters, and I think maybe the end result is the MCU.
Lisa YaszekGUEST
Because one thing that really struck me as I was watching this now was like, gosh, if Jane Fonda were, like, 25 now, someone would be putting her in an MCU movie.
