And by that I mean, November 27th, the day on which you can purchase your very own copy of the feature length special, Bender’s Big Score

Now, for your enjoyment, a preview of said feature length production.

Thanks Mojo!

Yesterday, the wife and I had a phone conversation that went something like this:

Wife: When does that Bender movie come out?

She was referring, of course, to Bender’s Big Score, which is what I covet, at this moment, above anything else in the world.

Me: It came out today.

W: I didn’t see it at Costco when I was there.

M: Maybe they’re not carrying it, but I’m pretty sure it came out today.

W: Oh, yeah I’m looking at Amazon. It is out today.

M: That’s the only thing I want for Christmas. I don’t want you to spend a bunch of money on me and I don’t want anything else.

W: Should I just order it right now? It’s pretty cheap.

M: Unless you buy something else, you’ll have to pay for shipping. It’s probably going to cost the same at Target.

W: Alright, I’ll check there then.

M: OK, since I already know you’re getting that for me, can I just have it when you buy it?

W: What?! No.

M: Then I have to wait a month to watch it, and I already know that it’s my present.

W: Too bad.

As far as I’m concerned, that’s damn cold! I mean, seriously, what does she want? Is some feigned expression of surprise as I unwrap the DVD shaped present on December 25th really worth making me wait an entire month to watch the freakin’ thing.

In a related note, it has come to my attention that Bender’s Big Score is the first in a series of four, feature length, direct to DVD releases to feature the fearless crew of Planet Express, and each one is part of a greater story-arc. Apparently, once the four DVD’s are out, they will get chopped up into 16 half-hour episodes and shown on Comedy Central.

I have found my new mission in life…I must build the authentic beer brewing Bender and not even god himself will stop me!

First off, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, of Mr. Show with Bob and Dave fame, have written a new pilot (titled David’s Situation) for HBO and EW has reported that the series has been picked up and will begin airing in May.

In case it has been a while since you’ve seen Mr. Show, or god forbid you’ve never seen it, here’s a little taste…

And in June we will get to partake in the next Futurama feature length film, The Beast with a Billion Backs. If you happened to miss the first one, shame on you! Also, here is a brief recap that makes absolutely no sense unless you’ve already seen it…
