A comedic sci-fi romp that blends absurdist humor, alien weirdness, and genuine affection for its ensemble cast while saving the world from an incomprehensibly tentacled threat.

Fresh off ripping space-time a new one at the end of "Bender's Big Score," the Planet Express crew is back to mend the tear in reality, or (hopefully) at least not make it worse. Beyond the tear, though, lurks a being of inconceivable...tentacularity. What will become of Earth, and indeed, our universe, when faced with the Beast with a Billion Backs?
