Archer Season 7 Episode 5 Bel Panto: Part I
Party crashers turn a fundraiser into no laughing matter.
ADAM REED:That was more a product of Patton Oswalt being so damn great.
After his first episode, the goal was to get as much Patton in there as possible.
Although Krieger obviously switched teams this time.
We are big supporters of the American Tinnitus Association.
We get another example of Archer shamelessly hitting on someone here, and right in front of Lana.
Was there any thought on scaling this back since AJs birth?
In this new context its certainly saying something different about him.
Another pretty deep cut with the Kate Warne, the first female detective, reference.
Cheryls almost a factory of them at this point.
There is probably a German word for her particular personality punch in.
Were treated to a classic hostage situation in this episode.
Is this an archetype that you had been looking to do for a while now?
A kakow gets dropped here and its too good!
Frisky Dingo should never die and Im glad to see more of that world progressively seeping into Archers.
This episode digs into coulrophilia being sexually attracted to clowns a little bit.
I am happy to say that I didnt know there was a word for wanting to fuck a clown.
This episode feels very grandiose in its execution.
The slo-mo sequence is a really great showcase of the series animation.
Had you been looking for an occasion to do something big like this?
It feels very stage play-like.
I would like to see our cast star in a production of Noises Off.
Archer Season 7 Episode 7 Double Indecency
Whos sexier, Cyril or Krieger?
Only one way to find out… Bar fight!
Theres a really great story to this episode thats so simple, yet really inspired, too.
This is especially a show where splitting the group up by gender can have dangerous results.
Theyre all such sexually charged people.
I think theyre all extremely competitive, which doesnt help matters.
Yes, although sex usually isnt that far removed from whatever theyre doing.
The symmetry of this one is really beautiful.
Was the idea always to do this as sort of a call and response sort of setup?
Yes, and helped by the fact we have an even number of male and female characters.
Have you seen any Wheeler & Woolsey?
Is there a certain film of theirs that particularly captures their eccentric chemistry that youd recommend?
No, I didnt even know who they were until Archer said that.
We get some nice reminders here that Krieger is in fact a clone of Hitler.
Do you see that nugget eventually culminating into something?
Our walkthrough onArchersseventh season will continue tomorrow.Part 1 can be readhere.
