The director: The Coen Brothers

The cast: William H Macy is Phil Fry, delivery boy.

Frances McDormand plays Mom, the outwardly benevolent owner of Mom’s Old Fashioned Robot Oil, who turns out to be a fascistic freak lady with three goofy henchmen/sons.

The plot : Quirk and quick-fire repartee is the name of the game as the Coens go SF.

Most of the characters remain the same as in the cartoon, since they’re pretty much perfect fits for Coen types anyway.

We follow Fry on a typical mission where everything seems to go wrong for him – he loses the cargo, gets told off by the professor (JK Simmons) and loses the love of Leela when she’s swept off her feet by the sleazy Zapp Brannigan (George Clooney).
