BubbleCAN Review: Fugget About It ‘Too Cool For Night School’

Spoilers Below

Aaaand the culture clash continues once again, when Jimmy returns to night school in order to keep his job at the travel bureau.

When confronting a slew of people from all walks of life during his stint in night school, the lot resorts to your average high school party – snorting cocaine, stripping etc… the only difference being with 80-year-old women.

When Jimmy confronts Special Agent McCool about the matter, hoping the Mountie can use his status to simply throw a few A’s in his transcript (and of course McCool admits he has the power, but not the will), McCool declines. Because he feels Jimmy “deserves” to earn his high school equivalency.

So begins a montage of “sometimes-redundant” high school clichés, and some fresh one’s too (spelling BOOBIES on a calculator with the numbers 5318008 held upside-down, you decide).

Elsewhere, little Gina saves and befriends a goose who she names Beaks, a rough n tough, and no-nonsense muscle type – a hired goon who takes care of Gina’s bidding after joining her crew (all two of them), including collecting from Atwood Furniture (a play on Margaret Atwood, Canada’s premier author on nature and the human condition).

But with little Beaks wanting to break free from this life of crime and join the flying V’s overhead, and Jimmy exhausting every form of bribery with his teacher, the Falcones find themselves in another situation where they must return to normality after overcoming another obstacle.

To put it in school terms, find Z:

Y = brilliant writing

X = hilarity

Q = bullshit

Y + X – Q = (Z) Fugget About It

Oh yeah, and there are several brilliant throwbacks to 1980’s pop culture.
