Captain America #1

/ / Comics

I’ll admit being a bit confused where exactly this new volume of Captain America fits in continuity. Set in an undisclosed date that doesn’t quite seem the 60s nor relocated to the present day, Captain America #1 offers a new story of early-days Captain America only a week or so after he’s found and thawed-out by the Avengers. We get cameos her from the likes of Iron Man and the Fantastic Four, but the issue is really about Steve Rogers trying to find his place in a new world.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the year 2000 and the adventures of a moose and squirrel. Adapted from the 60s cartoon, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle brought Rocky the Flying Squirrel (June Foray) and Bullwinkle J. Moose (Keith Scott) into the real world to stop the latest nefarious plot by Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo), and Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) to use television to take over the world. Their guide on their journey through the real world is plucky young FBI Agent Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo) who needs to get the two beloved 60s cartoon characters from Hollywood to New York in time to foil the villains’ plot.

Bob’s Burgers – The Shell Game

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Bob’s Burgers – The Shell Game
  • wiki: link

An invitation by Mr. Fischoeder (Kevin Kline) to his tortoise‘s birthday party puts Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) in the strange situation of competing against the other guests for guardianship of the animal should anything befall the host. Louise (Kristen Schaal), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Tina (Dan Mintz) are far more into the idea of having a tortoise than their father (even going so far as to help cheat to make Bob believe the animal likes him), but eventually the most obvious suitor is the correct one. Memorable moments involve the various competitions shown, and alluded to, and both Bob’s joy, when he believes he’s made a connection to the animal, and despair, after realizing the truth.

Phineas and Ferb – Dry Another Day

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Phineas and Ferb – Dry Another Day
  • wiki: link

Attempting to beat the heat, Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.) build a giant ice luge wheel which they roll around town with Isabella (Alyson Stoner), Baljeet (Maulik Pancholy), and Buford (Bobby Gaylor) which not only cools them off but leaves a cool breeze for all who pass. Of course Candace (Ashley Tisdale) attempts to catch them but, as always, is a step too slow (although she does earn a momentary second of fame skiing after the boys). The Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) plot, involving the villain attempting to dump his oil in a water park, isn’t a strong, and somehow makes even less sense than usual, but the two stories do eventually collide at the water park.

  • Title: Leverage: Redemption – The Cooling Off the Mark Job
  • IMDb: link

Although the pieces of the story feel about awkwardly stitched together, “The Cooling Off the Mark Job” offers fun moments as Hurley (Drew Powell) returns after his own con went sideways to help the team deal with their own mark (Alex Boniello) who stole $3 million from a church including $1 million the team hasn’t yet recovered. While initially there to just help Clay cool off, and recover the rest of the church’s missing funds, Hurley empathizes with Clay especially after learning what, or more specifically who, the stolen money was for.
