“The Place Beyond the Pinecones” gives us a Tina (Dan Mintz) episode as she goes on an overnight wilderness retreat with her Thundergirls troop. Chosen to spy on a rival troop notorious for cheating at the yearly competition, Tina gets lost in the woods with Patty (Betsy Sodaro) and Rena (Sarah Baker) with the trio eventually making it out of the woods for a bizarre night at Donna Dane’s Etiquette Camp for Good Girls where the trio do not fit in. It’s a crazy night for Tina, including getting tied to a posture chair and setting a pinecone on fire, but a relatively uneventful one for the rest of the Belchers who spend it screwing with Tina’s stuff before she gets back.

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to the year 2000 and Sandra Bullock starring role as FBI Agent Gracie Hart who goes undercover at the Miss United States Beauty Pageant to prevent a terrorist attack. The joke of the film is that the gruff feminist is far from a dream contest. Enter coach Victor Melling (Michael Caine), and his team, who helps Gracie fake it until she makes it (including the obligatory makeover montage) while the experience, and the friendship she makes along the way while searching for a terrorist, change Gracie’s opinions on pageants and those who enter them.

  • wiki: link

While Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) deal with a computer issue which provides some enjoyment bringing back the kind of strip mall one-man computer repair shop that you don’t see much of anymore, the bulk of “Snackface” follows Louise (Kristen Schaal), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Tina (Dan Mintz) creating the new ultimate snack they sell at school. It’s a fun take on the crazy things kids will eat (and also attempt to get away with under the noses of adults) with a twist involving the obsessed Millie (Molly Shannon) joining the team, although not for the reasons the Belchers expect.

The Phoenician Scheme

  • Title: The Phoenician Scheme
  • IMDb: link

You know going into a Wes Anderson film it will look great, and in that aspect The Phoenician Scheme doesn’t disappoint. Incredibly designed sets and styles match a wacky tale of a businessman Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio Del Toro) who is of note for two reasons. First, under attack from a shadowy group (which may or may not be tied to the government?) crippling his business by inflating the cost of materials vital to the job’s completion, Korda is attempting to salvage the biggest deal of his career. And second, everyone wants him dead, so much so that unexpected plane crashes due to bombs smuggled onboard his plane are a common occurrence.
