The Future’s Got It Covered

I’m not entirely sure how many new Futurama episodes Hulu ordered, but I do know that they’re going to wait before airing the next batch. So here are my thoughts on the ten episodes we’ve had so far. The Impossible … Continue reading →

Time, Time, Time, See What’s Become of Me
