Ep 8. That's Lobstertainment!

In the season 3 episode "That's Lobstertainment!" of the animated sci-fi sitcom Futurama, the crew of Planet Express becomes embroiled in the seamy world of show business when they meet a legendary actor from the 20th century who just happens to be a giant lobster. Calculon, the famous robot actor, is producing a new holofilm called "All My Circuits: The Movie," and he hires Dr. Zoidberg's uncle, Harold Zoid, to provide authentic Old Hollywood music for the soundtrack.

Harold Zoid is thrilled to work with Calculon and the other stars of "All My Circuits," but he has a secret talent that he's been hiding for years: he's a brilliant filmmaker, and he's been working on a masterpiece called "The Magnificent Three" for decades. When Calculon sees Harold's rough cut of "The Magnificent Three," he decides to steal the film and pass it off as his own, convinced that it will make him a star in the art-house scene.

Meanwhile, Fry, Bender, and Leela get caught up in the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, attending parties and rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Pamela Anderson, Penn Jillette, and Magic Johnson. They also start to notice that Harold Zoid is acting strangely, as if he's lost his passion for music. Fry, who has always believed in Harold's dream of making "The Magnificent Three," tries to encourage him to finish the film, but Harold refuses, citing his old age and the fact that no one is interested in his work anymore.

It all comes to a head when Calculon premieres his stolen version of "The Magnificent Three" at a gala event, and Fry, Bender, and Leela sneak in to watch. To their horror, they see that Calculon has butchered Harold's beautiful film, replacing the epic score with his own cheesy music and removing all the heart and soul from the story. Fry can't bear to see his friend's work destroyed, and he rushes the stage with a passionate speech about the importance of following one's dreams.

In the end, Harold Zoid is inspired by Fry's words and decides to finish "The Magnificent Three" after all, proving that it's never too late to chase your dreams. Calculon, humbled by his greed and arrogance, admits that Harold's film was far superior to his own and gives him the credit he deserves. Fry, Bender, and Leela return to Planet Express, wiser and more jaded than ever before.

"That's Lobstertainment!" is a satirical take on the world of Hollywood entertainment, poking fun at everything from insincere celebrity cameos to the cutthroat nature of the film industry. It also features some touching moments about the importance of staying true to yourself and the power of inspiration to reignite even the dimmest spark of creativity. With its blend of humor, heart, and scifi craziness, it's a classic episode that will make you laugh, cry, and cheer.
