Bender's Big Score - My Favorite Animated Movie to Watch on Satellite TV

The article written by Victor Flowers

One of the best animated movies ever comes from the best animated show on television, Futurama. Bender's Big Score marks the return of the show after the first cancellation, and while it is a movie riddled with cameos, it still manages to maintain the spark that made Futurama one of the most enjoyable shows on television. The plot centers around Bender committing his typical hi-jinx, as the Mexican robot helps time traveling scam artists steal history's most valuable treasures. The time travel mechanism is a tattoo on Fry's buttocks written in binary. These stays in line with Futurama's history of satisfying mouth-breathing nerds with hints of math and science.

The best part of Bender's Big Score is the shots they take at the executives who fired them in the first place. Grinding them up into a special all-purpose powder, the cast of Futurama makes a number of jokes at their expense, which I'm sure angered these faceless oligarchs as they sat in their luxurious mansions drinking fine wine and being massaged by supermodels. Then they realized that no one in the public knows who they are and continued being fabulously opulent and rich. However, this was interesting to me because the smart people at Futurama didn't realize this, or were merely venting while knowing the futility of taking a shot at the people in power.
