» » Archer Midnight Ron (2009– )

Short summary

It might not be a bounty hunt and it might not be evening, but Midnight Ron is chock full of crime. Drunk in Montreal, Archer torched his passport. When neither Malory nor any other of the ISIS gang will help Archer, stranded at the casino, his new stepfather decides to rescue him. Does it matter that Ron Cadillac has his own agenda?

The license plate number on Ron's car is 2GAT123. It is a common fiction plate number. This same number was used in Curb Your Enthusiasm, L.A. Story, Beverly Hills Cop 2, and Modern Family.

The title and plot of the episode is a reference to the film "Midnight Run".

Malory says "it's just idiots all the way down". This refers to the philosophical reference of 'turtles all the way down'. In the story, an astronomer is challenged that the world is being supported on a flat plate on the back of a turtle. When the scientist replies "On what does the turtle sit?" the reply is "it's turtles all the way down".

Pam is making a Green Russian (milk and absinthe) when Archer calls her asking for money.

Ron calls one of the bikers who attack them "C. W. McCall-girl." C. W. McCall is an outlaw country singer.

The fact that Archer cannot enter the US from Canada without a passport is a further reference to the show's ambiguous time period. A passport was not required for travel between those two North American countries until the twenty-first century.
