Review: The Loud House “Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction/Save the Last Pants”

Overview (Spoilers Below):

Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction

Lincoln and Clyde’s David Steele movie turns high-stakes when Lisa builds a real nuclear reactor.

Save the Last Pants

Rusty tries to bring the fun of Gus’s to Duds For Dudes when he’s in charge of the store.

Our Take:

The first episode sees Lincoln back in action as his favorite spy, David Steele, following his birthday mission in “Present Danger”. He, Todd, and Clyde are making a movie based on the character. Unfortunately, their film became a reality when Lisa’s nuclear reactor was missing. When they discover that Todd (as Chip Micro) took the reactor with a plan to annihilate Royal Woods, Lincoln and the others set out to save the town.

Most of the humor consists of Lincoln, Clyde, and Lisa heading into spy territory, with Lincoln’s movie paying homage to the James Bond films. Then, they tried to snap Todd out of his villainous persona by having him play memory videos of Todd’s time with the siblings. Todd has been an enjoyable addition to the cast since his debut regarding his brand of comedy and loyalty to the Loud family. So this little moment was a lovely little tribute to his importance.

The second episode has Rusty being the man of the store while his father heads out to get more fabrics. The humor in this episode consists of Rusty trying to hang out with his friends while running his father’s clothing store. After having issues tending to the customers while video chatting, Rusty decides to bring Gus’s to the store. Unfortunately, he accidentally sold Mick Swagger’s pants to DJ Tyler while partying, forcing him and his friends to get the pants back. However, Tyler ruined the pants, but Rusty managed to find a way to convince Swagger about how good its dirty appeal is.

Overall, both episodes are enjoyable for their spy-related humor and the wild goose chase for Swagger’s pants. “Lights, Camera, Nuclear Reaction” is another entertaining spy adventure featuring Lincoln as David Steele, with enough stakes to correspond with its comedy. “Save the Last Pants” is a decent episode that has Rusty learning to take responsibility when he’s in charge of running his father’s store and keeping the pants safe for Mick Swagger.
