Erik and Alex discuss a couple of items of news relating to The Last Jedi; namely, a new TV spot, the international trailer, and the international poster. After that, it's a discussion about a classic episode of Futurama, Season 4's Three Hundred Big Boys. Inspired by the classic Simpson's episode, 22 Short Films About Springfield, Three Hundred Big Boys is constructed as a series of loosely-connected vignettes that coalesce at the climax of the episode. The looser structure allows for jokes that fly a mile-a-minute, and easily makes an argument for any Top Ten Futurama list, if not a solid argument that this episode surpasses its inspiration.
