Futurama - 7x04 - The Thief of Baghead

    Bender becomes a paparazzo.  This leads to him trying to take a picture of the most famous actor, Langdon Cobb, who wears a bag on his head at all times.  Once Bender gets the picture, he finds it causes those who see it to…deflate.  All of this ends with an acting contest between Cobb and Calculon.
    The simple version is that it's a good episode, but not great.  There's something horrifying about seeing the life-force leave the people who see the photograph, but there's also a lot of fun to be had in seeing Bender have fun.  Only a few nice Zoidberg moments.
    It was a real surprise to see Calculon play his scene straight, like a real actor.
