futurama-farewell-to-arms

While searching for Fry’s (Billy West) lucky, and only, pair of pants the Planet Express crew uncovers an ancient Martian calendar predicting that the world will end in 3012 (along with fires, earthquakes, and sharksplosions). A little scientific investigation by Professor Farnsworth (West) discovers the cause of the recent unstable weather patterns is the onset of a catastrophic sunspot cycle which is also responsible for the short circuiting off all electricity on Earth.

What if Armageddon had failed? Well, if you’re writer/director Lorene Scafaria the story might lead to a quirky odd couple road trip which mixes in equal measure romantic comedy and art film sensibilities. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World opens with insurance salesman Dodge (Steve Carell) and his wife Linda (Nancy Carell) in their car hearing the news that NASA’s last ditch shuttle mission to deflect the asteroid hurtling to the Earth has failed.

People react differently to the news that everyone on the planet has three weeks to live. Linda immediately runs from the car never to be seen again, deciding to embrace the affair and life she’s kept hidden from her husband for months. Dodge’s best friends (Rob Corddry, Connie Britton) throw all caution to the wind going out with a bang that involves a non-stop party, drugs, and booze (even for their kids). Over the course of the film we’ll also see rioters unable to cope with the situation and survivalists planning to start a new world following the end of this one.

After an affair with the office’s new Slurm-dispensing beverage machine (Wanda Sykes), with whom he has been trading barbs with for days, Bender (John Di Maggio) is shocked to learn he has fathered a son. The gang decides to take the confused robot to the Robie D. and Robbie T. Robot Center to teach him where baby robots come from by sharing with him a special PSA entitled “Robot Sex Ed. Volume One Or Pants Full of Shame.” I like the second title better.
