    Hmm that’s not promising news for me. I’ve found Futurama works best when it’s handling things not directly related to current events. I’ve been concerned about this season in general since I heard about it, more so after seeing the trailer, and even more so now.

      As someone who’s gone through those same feelings on previous revivals, my recommendation is to remain cautiously pessimistic.

      I’ve been watching new Simpsons for whatever reason and every single episode is about social media or tech company.

      Dread is the only way I can describe the feeling I get when I realize the episode is about like Uber or Elon.

        reading this gave me fucking ptsd flashbacks to the few pieces of such media i’ve viewed, pretty sure i’ve only caught snippets of modern simpsons and stuff like the emoji movie and yet it’s like it’s infected my brain.

    I hope stories don’t overly rely on them, since so many shows do pop culture focused story lines that they start feeling like reskins with the same general plot.
