Packed with terrorist threats, sexual shenanigans, and all things inappropriate, Archer Season Four comes fully loaded with outrageous top-secret extras!
FROM THE BACK OF MY BRAIN:
“Archer” is a show I watch more for the supporting characters than the lead. The idea of a dumb American James Bond figure is a little played out. However, you’ve got to love what a never-ending Cold War has done to the American workplace dynamic. Somewhere between Pam’s brutal hilarity and the general depravity of Cheryl; the heart of the show is found. That show is soaked in vodka and full of more references than Dennis Miller having a stroke on the floor of a Druthers, cha-cha.
This season did prove why the upcoming series shift was needed. While the adventure with the Pope and the undersea shenanigans were fun, it took forever for this year to really get going. It was cute seeing the nods to Bob’s Burgers and the efforts to provide Mallory with some sort of stability. However, it felt like there were too many ideas onscreen and only about 50% of them didn’t seem like they came out of a bong. But, we got a random reference to New Mutants character Cypher. I have to support anyone that shares my love of classic New Mutants.
The Blu-Ray comes with a special Anime short featuring Krieger and what appears to be a live read by the cast. The A/V Quality is great with a truly impressive DTS-HD 5.1 master audio track. You also get the same stunning 1080p transfer that you’ve come to expect from the series on Blu-Ray. Ultimately, what needs to be said? You’re going to buy this! I’m going to make you. When you’re checking out at Amazon, you’re going to feel a sudden tickle in the back of your brain. That’s me, reminding you to make it happen.
RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW!
