[edit] Overview

Dr. Venture attends a group therapy session for former boy adventurers, but a strange death causes the patients to fall back into their old mystery-solving habits. Meanwhile, Sgt. Hatred takes Hank and Dean to a movie and must control his pedophiliac urges in the theater full of children when he realizes that he's run out of medication.

[edit] Fun Facts

  • Sky from Powerless in the Face of Death can be seen with a date, amongst the crowd exiting the movie theater. She was not pregnant and had no child in tow.
  • Lance & Dale Hale are based on the Hardy Boys, a team of detective brothers and the title characters of a popular book series. Hank & Dean are also based in part on the Hardy Boys. In the case of both the Ventures and the Hales, the blonde is more assertive, while the boy with "D" is brown-haired, more passive, and favors sweater vests. Their apparent murder of their father is a reference to the Menendez Brothers. Of these eight brothers, only Hank has never taken a shine to sweaters.
  • Ro-Boy is based on Astro Boy, the titular character of a 1960's adventure comic by Osamu Tezuka.
  • In the opening, Doc appears to have lost a shoe to the moving walkway, just like General Manhowers in The Doctor is Sin.
  • Rusty refers to his testicles as Spirit and Opportunity, after two rovers from the Mars Exploration Rover Mission[1]
  • Jackson has confirmed that the psychiatrist in this episode is the same character as the therapist in Powerless in the Face of Death [2]. He appears to have gone gray in the interim.
