I can't find the reaction to the short 12 on YT,can someone provide me a link? I'm guessing it's unlisted
Fun fact: blitzo and the gang ran over vivienne with the van and Brandon rogers chased them with a gun at the end of mission zero.
I don't know if this would be your jam, but if you and your wife are looking for a show that feels more authentically written, Gilmore Girls would be a good one. It is definitely dramatic lol, but the dialogue is so fast paced and witty and hilarious, and I think you might like it!
Just a little fun fact, during the IMP jingle at the end of Mission Zero, the person they run over is actually Vivienne Medrano, and the guy she was talking to was Blitz's voice actor Brandon Rogers
The similarities between Blitz and Barbie are noticeable during the scenes when Barbie schmoozes Rickie for a sandwich and when she tells her girlfriend about the broken phone. Just switch Jinhee Joung’s voice for Brandon Rogers’. Joung was also in Pitch Perfect. Mardy Leith, who performed the I.M.P. Rock Theme, is an Australian musician and vocal coach that specializes in heavy metal and also does creative covers. The guy who wrote the song, Parry Gripp, was the lead vocalist for the band Nerf Herder and wrote real jingles for Wawa Food Markets and Hallmark. He’s also performed TV theme songs for shows like Ben 10 and Phineas and Ferb.
There's no release date for season 3 yet, they've just said Fall 2026. Since the Chaz's funeral short came out on April Fool's, my theory is that it's not strictly canon. I don't think it's something they'll ever address in the show. Blitz says in Exes and Oohs how bad Chaz was in bed and I find it hard to believe he'd actually be able to pull people like Beelzebub and Ozzie, the literal embodiment of lust. I think it was just a joke. I doubt we'll ever see Zahc again. But then again, who knows? Never say never. It's worth noting in Barbie's Bad Day that the person she was texting before her phone died was Fizz, indicating that the two of them are still in touch. Barbie's Bad Day would likely have been set right after Unhappy Campers since the reason she lost her job is what happens in that episode, meaning this is also before Fizz and Blitz reconcile. Whacked Off, the first one you watched, is one of my favourites because it addresses Moxxie's issues with his father. There's a parallel between that and the relationship between the mafioso and his son, which Moxxie also talks about with Millie at the end. Moxxie excused his father's behaviour toward him because he thought he "had to be" an asshole because he's a mobster, but seeing how Paulie's dad was ready to sacrifice himself for his son made Moxxie realise his dad had a choice, he didn't have to be that way, he could have been a better father and just chose not to be. That last scene with Moxxie and Millie actually continues in the end credits so you missed a little bit of dialogue by not letting it run, but it's not super important. Mostly they just talk more about the leeches. I guess leeching is like fishing in hell, and the trophy Millie had is because she caught the biggest leech.
Several things 1) I loved that the mayors accent was inconsistently inconsistent which speaks to Tom's ability as a voice actor 2) Blitz wearing glasses over another pair of glasses is hilarious, and 3) the whole town being gaslit makes the whole short fantastic additionally Tom does Patchy the pirate, the french narrator and ancillary characters on spongebob so him doing a range of voices is another day in the office for him
My theory is that we'll finally get the full story of the circus fire and Blitz's mother's death in Season 3. It's the reason why Barbie hates Blitz, and since she appeared in the short I also think she's gonna feature in S3. We've seen the fire from Fizzarolli's point of view and some of it from Blitz's but we don't know everything yet. So I definitely think it's coming. Ps. I left my summer workers dealing with the job by themselves and went to see the finale of The Amazing Digital Circus at the cinema last Thursday! No spoilers! But it was sooo good!!! Totally worth it! And my summer workers survived, too. 😉Perks of being a (helluva) boss!
P.S Saturday 13th June will airing the nes short
Mission Zero is truly a great starting for the show! It estabilosh the characters through their pitches for IMP (Moxxie wants something very professional and clean, Millie wants a blood bath and of course for Blitz everything is a show), establish their relationship and the world building but most of all sets base for Blktz and Stolas relationship, their power dynamic and the miscommunication (we already can see how Stolas wants sex yes but also connection with all the flowers and candles that are very romantic, while Blitz is on edge the entire time and then suddenly take control and goes into basically sex work for keeping the book). And the little montage in the end is like a trailer for the entire show, I love it.
