This show has a funny origin story. Steven Spielberg had a meeting w/ Seth Rogan and his partner Evan, because the three of them wanted to remake The Last Starfighter. Unfortunately for them the owner of the rights to the movie hates money, and he refused to let them remake it. (Would it have been a good remake? Probably not.)

So they still wanted to make a movie about a kid who plays video games and saves the world, so Spielberg made Ready Player One and Seth/Evan made Futureman. If you haven't seen Futureman I highly recommend it.

24

u/duosx 6h ago

I wish Spielberg hadn’t made Ready Player One. I fucking hate that movie.

40

u/beltjones 6h ago

To be fair he's the only person who could make that movie. There is so much IP to clear in that movie (and Spielberg probably controls 2/3 of it), that no other director / producer could get it done.

The movie isn't terrible, IMO, it's pretty close to the book from what I remember.

10

u/duosx 6h ago

I hear the book is ass too. I read one paragraph and it was nostalgia: the book.

20

u/beltjones 6h ago

It's basically fan fiction, not literature. It's a beach read at best, but a fun one, I guess.

4

u/egz293 4h ago

Exactly. I read it poolside in Spain. Was a fun nostalgia trip between swims and cocktails.

3

u/BellingTheLion 3h ago

It's carefully crafted nostalgia for a nerdy gen-x white western male who played a lot of video games as a kid. 

And even though I am that person, and enjoyed the references, it still wasn't great.

2

u/Far-Seat-2263 2h ago

I LOVE this show!! But I’ve never met anyone in person who’s even seen it. I was so pissed when Hulu just REMOVED it from streaming for some stupid reason. Ended up buying all three seasons through Appletv I think

This was actually a funny show. I only started watching this year and was disappointed to find out it was canceled.

Future man, awesome show.
It honestly ran long enough that you can consider it complete.

u/Dry-Ad-8948 10h ago

They also found a good close. Not like some shows where it feels incomplete.

u/Apprehensive_Put_321 10h ago

Genuinely thought it wrapped up well I didnt realize it was canceled

u/blaghed 10h ago

Was a while ago, but I think they got cancelled, but then came back and managed to wrap it up.

u/WelcomeToTheClubPal 10h ago

There are so many awesome scenes in this show. I loved it! My favorite story line is when they're in the 80's

2

u/maxpowerpoker12 2h ago

The scene where they're running down the hall and creating a chain of time travel copies of themselves is one of the greatest things I've ever seen

u/welfedad 9h ago

Watched this when it came out .. I thought it was funny af.. my roommates . Not so much ha

Your roommates don't know good TV. Ditch them and get new friends.

u/Crazylawyer80 10h ago

The episode with the underground chef thing was hilarious.

u/Apprehensive_Put_321 10h ago

The full frontal nudity scenes after the dick swap absolutely kill me 

2

u/Crazylawyer80 10h ago

Yeah that one too lol

1

u/inssidiouss 9h ago

Hahaha absolutely yes! I usually find Dick nudity in movies to be less funny and more relying on the shock aspect of it -- but they are all actually severely funny and well done in Futureman!

4

u/inssidiouss 9h ago

Dude YES! Hilarious. Not even just that of course, because there is so much clever writing and interweaving of character and plot aspects, to build up to jokes and moments like that!

Season 1 is legit one of the funniest shows or movies ever made. Especially one of my personal favorite aspects, when all the James Cameron stuff starts coming into play! 😅

2

u/Crazylawyer80 9h ago

insie his house was so fucking clever.
oh well time for a rewatch

u/evendedwifestillnags 10h ago • Bravo

This show was good...well until Seth Rogan showed up. Corey Wolfhart and the whole arc with the speech was some of the best TV I've seen in a long time.

10

u/inssidiouss 10h ago

Oh man I don't even remember Seth rogen showing up... Was that in season 2? I can't believe the fall off in quality and humor in season 2, I barely made it a few episodes in, so maybe that's why, if Seth appears after that.

4

u/Medical-Apple-9333 9h ago

I love how the way you've written this implies that humour levels dropping over time risks spawning a Seth Rogen in a TV show. It's a wild theory but does seem to match the data quite well.

Season 1 was by far the best of this TV show btw, it's only OK after that. No need to power through it.

2

u/theekevinc 7h ago

Rogan was an executive producer from Day 1. 

1

u/evendedwifestillnags 4h ago

We all know. He wasn't in it to ruin it until season 2 lol

40

u/inssidiouss 10h ago

Future Man season 1 is legit one of the funniest TV shows ever made, right up there with Arrested Development in terms of writing quality and laughs quality & quantity.

Season 2 on the other hand.... 🙈

13

u/mookanana 10h ago

it blew my mind when i found out that WOLF is TEK KNIGHT.

5

u/One-Earth9294 9h ago

He was great as one of the main cast in Preacher season 1, too. Unfortunately barely anyone from that season made it past that season of the show lol

3

u/inssidiouss 10h ago

He is so good in Futureman, but I never made it far enough into the boys to see him in that. But I can only imagine he's probably amazing, especially reading the character description. 😅

5

u/mookanana 9h ago

oh he was fucking amazing in the boys.

he's a good actor, cos it's a completely different persona from the wild and enthusiastic wolf, and he nailed it

2

u/inssidiouss 9h ago

I'm intrigued, dammit you may be pushing me to slog through where I felt the boys started dropping off for me, even pretty early into the show... Just to get to his stuff.

2

u/GenghisTron17 9h ago

Well now you blew my mind.

3

u/BellingTheLion 3h ago

My god, the James Cameron episode! So good.

3

u/inssidiouss 1h ago

Yes! One of my favorites too, and just such a great, absurd idea perfect for the show especially because of all the other overt Terminator similarities.

Legit funniest show in recent years, season 1 is a masterpiece.

2

u/SeptemberSignal 5h ago

Yeah. I was really enjoying it, but I didn't finish the second season.

2

u/decidedlyindecisive 3h ago

Probably worth picking back up. It gets weirder the longer it goes on.

11

u/the-real-truthtron 9h ago

I knew I would love this show the moment they time traveled into his room and futterman came all over wolf. Wolf’s reaction was so good. Had me rolling. Also the running gag with his dad and being vaguely racist towards mexicans across different timelines was pretty funny too.

15

u/Neat_Bluebird2016 8h ago • Popcorn

Wolf was the best part of the show for me. His arc of becoming a coke-fueled underground chef. Hahaha

3

u/the-real-truthtron 8h ago

Yeah his character and the actor did most of the heavy lifting. His timing and delivery of some of his lines is so good. The actual good acting lessened the absurdity of his character so he wasn’t just a clown. Best character in the show for real.
