There’s a Venture Brothers movie coming out that picks up where season 7 left off! The trailer below was posted yesterday. It looks great to me!
My heart weeps in joy!
Yay!
Also, a metalocalypse movie is coming too!
Hell yes! I didn’t know that was in the works, too.
I watched the recent Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie (on an airplane) and I liked it well enough. I’ll probably feel the same about this.
I was so disappointed after watching season 7 and learning there would be no closure. I would actually like for Dean, Hank, and some of the others to experience a bit of success at least. Failure is funny and all, but give the guys a break.
I see that the show is on Apple TV, at least in Canada. I’ll be re-watching it.
So has anyone else watched yet? While it wasn’t as good as I hoped (not a criticism, nothing could be!) I thought it was a worthy and satisfying finale. It felt like spending time with old friends. It answered just enough questions to feel complete, while leaving enough open to allow the adventure to continue, with or without the audience. I will definitely be watching again.
Saw it last night. While not super duper wonderful, it was definitely very good! A satisfying end to the 20 or so years I’ve spent watching and rewatching the show. I’ll probably watch it many times.
I had one great disappointment- as soon as the Monarch visited the Arch office, I was saying to myself “This is Theranos”. I think it’s obvious that the original season 8 was going to include a parody of smoke and mirrors startup culture that got cut for time.
It felt like another good, but long, episode to me. Which is all I could hope for really. Can’t believe it’s over, FOR REAL this time.
I do like the tying up of loose ends! Very good fan service!
Heh, when it launched I somehow figured out that I had misted about half of season 7. Fortunately [Adult Swim] saw fit to re-broadcast them and my DVR allowed me to catch up before I watched RitBotBH.
I really did love it. It didn’t make me tear up like the last episode of season 7 (or many other episodes) did. But it did do a satisfying job of tying up loose ends and giving the story potential other places to go should they choose to follow up.
My only complaint is I kind of would have preferred it sliced up into a season. Yeah, that’s picky shit and probably not practical, but I prefer my VB in tasty bites. It’s rich stuff. I feel like I’ve eaten a whole side of beef, heavily spiced.
Ok, that makes a lot more sense than someone making a movie about Visual Basic.
Odd that I think I would actually watch that too…
I had completely missed that it was released. I stared watching a youtube video on Venture Brothers and in it they said “Now that the movie’s been release…” WHAT!
I rented it on Amazon.
Definitely felt like they took their season 8 plan and just truncated it. I felt satisfied but really wanted a more emotional ending…but it wasn’t an ENDING, you know? A kind of reset? The story doesnt have to be over yet. (Although I totally get if Doc and Jackson are ready to let go)
Yeah, the movie felt like those two wanted to let all the characters breathe once more and end it. I am a huge fan of VB and the film was only ok, but at least I felt they left with class and let the fans down easy.
And it wasn’t The Bob’s Burgers Movie.
As far as I know, they’re not. I read somewhere that one of them said they would “work on The Venture Bros forever.” I think it’s just way too expensive to produce, not making money, math math math, Goodbye Team Venture 
Probably more to do with unpredictability of the production.
The show had increasingly long gaps between seasons and when the cancellation was announced, it had been already 2 years since the end of S7 with the scripts for S8 reportedly only partially completed and no production work begun.
There aren’t a lot of series that get that sort of leeway between seasons. Maybe the really big shows on Netflix or HBO (like “Stranger Things” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm” - which both still had shorter hiatuses) but certainly not ones that were originally planned for regular annual seasons.
