The second Futurama episode of the Season 8 premier was entitled "Benderama". As you can imagine, this episode revolves around one of the series' most beloved characters, the drunken robot Bender. Readers with a sharp eye may recognize that part of this episode was read at a panel at last year's San Dieog Comic Con.
This episode features not one Bender, not two (as has been done with the occasional appearance of Bender look-alike Flexo), but billions of Benders. Because as many of us know, Bender is lazy. So when the Professor Farnsworth invents a new machine that makes duplicate copies of anything, in 1/3 scale. So as you can imagine, Bender gets a hold of the machine to make copies of himself to do stuff for him.
This episode features one of my favorite elements from Futurama, "The Scary Door", Futurama's parody of "The Twilight Zone". I always found them to be fun. And they are few and far between. But they are always hilarious when they are used in a story.
This episode also has the appearance of Patton Oswalt who is a stand-up comedian from several different animated shows and movies. He was appearing as the voice of one of the main protagonist, a giant known as the Unatractive Giant Monster, whom the Planet Express crew make a delivery to.
All in I found it to be a very fun episode. I am very excited this new season of Futurama, as it seems to be a true return to form for the series. Last season was great fun, but it was different. But fun.
Look forward to more reviews of this season.
That is all. Carry On!
