Yeah it kind of feels like they wanted to cram in a lot of cultural references that happened the last couple years to make up for lost time

    And most of those references were dated by the time the episode was out.

    Yeah the crypto episode really felt like it was a bit late to the party

    That is the #1 thing that is mentioned every time this topic comes up.

    Futurama was always about pop culture references. So much so, there are lists.

    Maybe it was just a little more direct this season or most of us are older and we noticed it more.

    During the original run, they were produced on short order and the animation was cheap, so they could keep up to the latest pop culture trends. Now they’re produced almost 9 months to a year in advance with higher-end animation, so they’re out of date by the time they stream. Plus, IIRC, this latest season may have been delayed for some reason.
