Phineas and Ferb – License to Bust

  • wiki: link

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).

G.I. JOE #8

/ / Comics

Following a bit of training within the Pit, the Baroness demands a bit of R&R and some time away from the repetitive drills. Duke, reluctantly agrees on the condition she’s back in 48  hours and that Cover Girl, goes with her. The issue allows for the pair to spend some time together, first on the Baroness’ private jet and later on a cafe in Paris (between which she unsuccessfully attempts to lose the Joe  for some time alone). There’s not much action in the issue, but its memorable with the Joes hunting the Baroness at the beginning of the issue (which plays on the reader’s expectation that the woman will, at some point, go bad), and the two women being attacked by a flock of birds which reintroduces the character of Raptor into the Energon Universe.

Phineas and Ferb – Submarine Sandwich Submarine

“Perhaps in hindsight we should not have made our submarine out of food.”

In a classic wacky episode, Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), along with Isabella (Alyson Stoner) and Buford (Bobby Gaylor), build a giant submarine out of food making a “Submarine Sandwich Submarine” to explore the Mariana Trench. Snooping on her brothers rather than getting ready for the sandcastle building competition, Candace (Ashley Tisdale) sneaks onboard it time for an underwater adventure that includes almost getting eaten. Eventually making it out of the water, and crashing on the beach, covering it in sand, Candace’s proof not only disappears at the most opportune moment but she’s even rewarded for the most ingenious sandcastle design on the beach.
