Futurama DVD Implies Cthulu Needs Women
News on the second Futurama DVD-movie has arrived, as well as the cover. Besides featuring voices of David Cross, Brittany Murph, Dan Castellaneta and world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking (quite the team, there), The Beast With A Billion Backs is coming June 24, and, well, the press release sums it up rather nicely:
In their latest extraterrestrial exploits, Bender, Fry, Leela and crew encounter a repulsive, planet-sized creature with billions of probing tentacles…and soon find themselves involved in a disturbing – yet sensuous – interplanetary love story.
I’m too lazy not gauche enough to copy/paste all the DVD extra,s but you can see them here. In other DVD news, one of our Most Wanted Cartoons has been announced?Freakazoid! Season 1 will have 14 episodes and be released on July 29, same day as Tiny Toon Adventures (which I know some of you have been waiting for).
About The Author

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
