There have been very few good things to come out of the new generation of shows from Cartoon Network. One of them is \u201cRegular Show.\u201d It\u2019s a surreal, trippy, funny, and original series that I\u2019ve been a big fan of since it gained acclaim years ago. \u201cRegular Show: The Movie\u201d is basically for the fans that invest a lot in the relationship between Mordecai and Rigby, our two tight knit slacker park workers that can\u2019t be parted, no matter what the future tells them. \u201cRegular Show: The Movie\u201d pays homage to the eighties and nineties in its typical clever and witty fashion, paying nods to classic pop culture of the decades, while unfolding its own very original time traveling tale.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the future there\u2019s a machine called the Timenado that promises to engulf all of time thanks to an evil volleyball coach named Randall Ross. Mordecai is now an evil pawn in Ross\u2019s plan, while Rigby is a part of a rebellion hell bent on stopping the timenado. In order to cut them off at the pass, Future Rigby travels back in time to warn Modern Rigby about events to come. Now it\u2019s up to Modern Rigby and Mordecai (along with the whole park gang!) to travel six years in to the past to prevent a series of events from unfolding that will create the timenado. Quintel goes all out for this feature adaptation, providing an exciting and hilarious space and time adventure, that also sticks to the core of what makes the series so fantastic. Quintel definitely pumps the series\u2019 scale up a bit, but it\u2019s still about Mordecai and Rigby and how they live and breathe by their friendship.<\/p>\n

Along the way there are also some fun sub-plots including Muscle Man\u2019s attempts to stop his past self from destroying their ticket home, and Paps and Benson\u2019s failed efforts to destroy the timenado that ends with utter hilarity. Quintel reaches down to what makes the series so important and provides some laugh out loud moments. Through and through \u201cRegular Show: The Movie\u201d works like the series in that it celebrates nostalgia, offering nods to the eighties and nineties. Along with subtle winks to \u201cBack to the Future,\u201d there are also references to \u201cStar Wars,\u201d \u201cFerris Bueller,\u201d and even the Sega Game Gear. I\u2019d be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention the top notch voice work from folks like Quintel, William Salyers, Mark Hamill, David Koechner, and Jason Mantzoukas, respectively. All in all, \u201cRegular Show: The Movie\u201d is a great treat for devotees of the series; it\u2019s simple, very entertaining, and never loses sight of what makes the show so excellent.<\/p>\n

Now available on various Digital Formats, and on DVD October 13th.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
