Archer – Plaque Removal

  • Title: Archer – Plaque Removal
  • IMDb: link

Taking a job to safeguard museum artifacts in transit, Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), Lana (Aisha Tyler), and Zara Khan (Natalie Dew) head across the pond for a job that has added benefit for Lana if she can impress her client who would be influential in getting AJ into a prestigious private school. Trouble comes from an Indiana Jones-ish robber and his kid sidekick who want to return the artifact back to its native country. Usual fun with Lana struggling with a moral quandary, Archer getting wrapped up in himself and wondering if the cursed artifact may have made him impotent, and Zara continuing to prove herself an asset to the Agency (and get on Archer’s nerves). The rest of the cast remains back in the office for the continued HR B-story with Pam (Amber Nash) attempting to shirk as much duty as possible.

Archer returns for its fourteenth season with a fun season premiere sending Archer (H. Jon Benjamin), Ray (Adam Reed), and Pam (Amber Nash) to Paris to assist with an Interpol case to take down an organization of jewel thieves known as the Vanguard. Archer is immediately suspicious of Zara Khan (Natalie Dew) whose methods of using them to help perform two robberies of her own lead him to believe she will no doubt turn on them given the first opportunity. Let’s just say he’s had worse hunches.

Archer – Distraction Action

  • Title: Archer – Distraction Action
  • IMDb: link

After being played by Fabian Kingsworth (Kayvan Novak), our spies are on the run being hunted. Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) comes up with a plan of distraction to get Lana (Aisha Tyler) into court while calling on for some dirt on Robert (Stephen Tobolowsky) from an old friend to help Lana win custody of her daughter. “Distraction Action” is notable mostly for crazy distractions of Cyril (Chris Parnell) and Pam (Amber Nash) and the near total incompetence of the government agents assigned to capture them. Wacky fun, but rather standard Archer-craziness without any stand-out moments.
