Lighten up, Francis.
:dubious:
Ok, if you gotta have the last word. 
“The Art of the Venture Brothers” Book was released yesterday, and my copy arrived from Amazon. Well worth the 24 bucks! 400 pages, covers every episode, tons of art and interviews with Jackson and Doc. Amazing facts- Doc’s total take for writing Jacket for Shallow Gravy: eleven cents. He has the check displayed on his fridge. Apparently the original script for “Maybe No Go” had the characters huffing the air from the “Please Please Me” ball and tripping on 80s pop culture. Includes a shirt club catalog, and a flip book animation in the corner of every page.
Amazon currently says “unavailable” and has a publication date of 2035. “We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.”
Am I looking at the wrong page?
ETA: Apparently “The Art of the Venture Brothers” is not the title—seems to be: “Go Team Venture!: The Art and Making of the Venture Bros.”
Saw it, and it rocked!
Made me hungry for pizza.
So we’ve been mispronouncing “Problem” all this time.
With the potential return of certain characters, it seems like we’re close to the big reveal/resolution of The Monarch/Rusty’s base conflict.
That’s the truth. Can’t wait until Sunday. Should be a pivotal episode.
I still can’t believe that Jonas has been alive all this time.
Here’s a link for the streaming Episode 3.
I’m still in shock. Jonas was a rat bastard.
I’m going to have to watch that one again a few times to make sure I got it all.
Thanks for that. And because one good turn deserves another, here’s a link to Episode 4.
Apparently, for a limited time you can watch it without loading adult swim’s app.
Just finished Ep 5 and it’s interesting to see Rusty stepping up to work it out between the GCI and OSI. One interesting thing: Helper 2 confirmed that Dean was “Special” and Dean thought it meant a clone. But then we found out that Hepler 2 thought it was Rusty. So…Is Rusty a clone? A backup like Hank and Dean had? After all, the education beds were created by Jonas for Rusty when he was a child. Or maybe Rusty’s a clone of ol Jonas? Maybe that’s what caused Jonas Jr. The “good” clone eaten up by the recessive version. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jonas was trying to make a new body for himself for immortality purposes but movie night got in the way and he ended up in a Problem.
That was my interpretation.
Of course, I was one of those people who thought at the end of Season One that what Rusty said to Brock was “get their clothes”----- so you might want to take my insights with a grain of salt. :eek:
Another thing I noticed is that I don’t think they ever definitively stated who pulled the lever on the cargo bay doors on Gargantua. I also liked that it was one of Rusty’s plastic cowboys that tripped up the Action Man and made him drop the Jonascicle. A LOT of callbacks in that episode.
I don’t even pretend to understand what goes on in this show.
That was a great episode. It didn’t reveal any secrets, it hardly advanced the plot, it made no sense in the timeline- Augustus has already threatened and indeed almost killed Billy and Pete- but, wow, was it fun. Really reinforced the idea that the whole thing hero-villain thing is just elaborate LARPing. It’s so amusing that the Monarch, crazy as he is, still has the most honest, loving, and stable personal relationship. Also nice that the whole thing had a happy ending for everyone, even if some of it was hallucinated.
St. Cloud is great, as creepy as he is. He’s Billy’s evil doppelganger- they both obsessively love the same pop-culture, for completely opposite reasons.
Now I want a episode about the dysfunctional fandom that is created by the Augustus-Billy rivalry
It is funny to see how incompetent St Cloud is outside his very narrow world. And how he’s so perfect as Billy’s nemesis. Also liked seeing The Monarch and 21 become vested in his performance.
The Unicorn In Captivity episode was pretty risque. The only member of the club that I recognized was Roy Bizby. I liked that Presto-Change-O was pretty competent despite his annoying silliness. Ram-Burglar getting shot via the teleporter was an interesting unintended side-effect. A last thought to leave you with: somebody had to get doc into that machine. And someone had to get him out afterwards.
How did you recognize Roy Bizby? He was wearing a mask!
Actually, I think he was one of the Illuminati on the shadow screens.
And I just realized that Driver X was another iteration of [del]Dean Martin[/del] Copycat.
My money’s on either General Gathers (who doesn’t seem to mind getting his hands dirty) or Shore Leave.
