Driving plays a large role in “License to Bust” as  Candace‘s (Ashley Tisdale) driving test coincides with Doofenshmirtz‘s (Dan Povenmire) new invention of turning any street light green allowing him to race through traffic. Candace’s fear is lost when she sees Phineas (Vincent Martella), Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), Isabella (Alyson Stoner), Baljeet (Maulik Pancholy), and Buford (Bobby Gaylor) all bouncing wildly around town on springs and sticky gloves the pair created. Her distraction actually allows for her to perform great at her test and pass (surprising her father and the driving instructor), although once again she’s unsuccessful in getting  her parents to notice before all antics of her brothers’ recent craziness have been wiped away (thanks largely to Perry).

Lethal Weapon

  • Title: Lethal Weapon
  • IMDb: link

Written by Shane Black and directed by Richard Donner, 1987’s Lethal Weapon offered the classic odd couple pairing throwing together 50 year-old buttoned-down family man Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) with the reckless and suicidal Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson). Everything we need to know about both men is in each’s separate introductory scenes. We find Murtaugh in the chaotic, but loving, house full of his wife and children celebrating his birthday which is in drastic  contrast to the hungover Riggs waking up on his trailer on the beach with only his television and dog as company (only one of which survives the morning).

Ironheart – Take Me Home

  • Title: Ironheart – Take Me Home
  • wiki: link

Originally planned for a 2023 release, Dominique Thorne reprises her role of Riri Williams from Wakanda Forever who, for no real reason, left the comforts of Wakanda at the end of the movie despite it being obviously the perfect place for her to continue her education. As the series needs to break the character down, in terms of the story it wants to tell, that means we’re reintroduced to Riri as a struggling college student at MIT who, despite her intelligence and skill, relies on under-the-table deals to fix other students’ projects for the money needed to explore her own interest of recreating an Iron Man suit (which, she already accomplished in Wakanda, and also again at MIT).
