Commando

  • Title: Commando
  • IMDb: link

Throwback Tuesday takes us back 40 years to perhaps the most Schwarzenegger movie Arnold Schwarzenegger ever made. More than 20 years before Taken, Schwarzenegger stars as retired Special Forces Colonel John Matrix. After a precredit sequence showing several other former soldiers killed, and a goofy credit montage showing Matrix living it up in the woods as a stay-at-home dad, Matrix’s daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by an old enemy (Dan Hedaya) and an old friend (Vernon Wells) who plan to blackmail Matrix into committing an assassination. Matrix, however, has other ideas and begins killing his way back to his daughter.

Rick and Morty – Cryo Mort a Rickver

  • Title: Rick and Morty – Cryo Mort a Rickver
  • wiki: link

“Cryo Mort a Rickver” is a thinly-written premise that allows for constant craziness when Rick (Ian Cardoni) and Morty‘s (Harry Belden) attempt to loot a cyroship lead to the accidental awakening of the crew and the pair attempting to fake being part of those awoken. For Rick, this means pretending to be preadolescent whose appearance is explained by something having gone wrong with his pod. Sadly for Morty, he ends up not as a rich traveler but as a member of the underclass of the crew who he unintentionally inspires to rise up causing chaos. You know, Morty being Morty. Everything culminates in a bloody massacre followed by a space race (which is only slightly less crazy than the fights to the death in space that occurs afterward).

Phineas and Ferb – Deconstructing Doof

  • Title: Phineas and Ferb – Deconstructing Doof
  • wiki: link

Starting out by introducing that both Candace (Ashley Tisdale) and Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) are patients of the same psychologist,, “Deconstructing Doof” has some fun with the premise as the doctor comes to see a pattern in both patients’ delusions and uncovers a connection to a truth that he will share with the world. Sadly for Dr. Mosley Shamai (Brendan Hunt), his attempts at proving the truth fair no better than that of Candice as Doofenshmirtz’s latest invention, with the help of Perry, erases all proof just seconds before his big presentation. Highlights of the episode include the patients’ duet of “No One Understands Me,” Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb‘s (David Errigo Jr.) giant disco blimp (which goes unnoticed by hundreds of people), and the good doctor’s nervous breakdown on stage (which oddly comforts Candice).

Fantastic Four #1

A new volume of Fantastic Four kicks off here with Sue, Reed, Ben, and Johnny (in a ridiculous mustache) in middle battle with the new emperor of the Marvel Universe – Doctor Doom. Tired of dealing with the foursome, Doom sends them hurtling through time with each member of the team landing centuries apart in the past or future where they can no longer cause him grief (but apparently the computer network tied into their suits still works).
