All done a tad late, but I know you guys understand. As always, let me know if you think anything is missing or wrong and I'll grumble under my breath and begrudgingly fix it.

You forgot the scene in Hatred's basement. Does he call The Monarch "Ernie"?
It's right after he shows him the explosive chip. He compliments his henchmen, "Impressive group of boys, Ernie." At least that's what it sounds like. I could be way off.

Nah he just says 'impressive group of boys there' though 'there' isn't spoken as clearly as it could be.

Doesn't Hatred ask Venture if his lawn is "Kentucky bluegrass?" Your capsule just has "bluegrass." I'm pretty sure I'm remembering correctly, but I'm unable to check the episode to be sure.

During his tour of the Venture compound, Sergeant Hatred comments on the lawn and asks if it is Kentucky Bluegrass. Brock responds that it is his own mix of "Blue Ridge and Creeping Red"(Festuca rubra). Blue Ridge Grass is one of the most popular bluegrass music bands in the Southeasten US - their latest album is called Thunder Road.

Hadn't seen this mentioned yet - Phantom Li...er...The Monarch's house seems to be based on a Frank Lloyd Wright design - specifically his "Storer House" in L.A.

Yes, but that's been covered many times before. I suppose he could cover that but I always feel that the capsule should have new information.

During the game of charades, The Monarch acts out clues for the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is the sequel to the 1984 breakdancing film Breakin'. It was released the same year as its predecessor by Cannon Films. In some international locations, the movie was released under the title Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I'm surprised no one caught the reference to a town called Malice! It was a song by British band The Jam, released in 1982 from an album called "The Gift". Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3fDXsPE0Sc Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_Called_Malice

the buddy system is up at adultswim.com ... no spoilers here but one of the best endings to an episode thus far in the season.

First footage! Title revealed! https://youtu.be/eXJ5OM9RfV8 Synopsis and cast too! “In The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, a nationwide manhunt for Hank Venture leads to untold dangers and unexpected revelations, while the Monarch is literally out for Dr. Venture’s blood. An imposing evil from the past reemerges to wreak havoc on the Ventures, the Guild, and even the Monarch marriage—it will take friends and foes alike to restore the Ventures’ world to order… or end it once and for all.” The voice cast includes the returning James Urbaniak as Dr. Venture, Patrick Warburton as Brock Samson, Michael Sinterniklaas as Dean Venture, Chris McCulloch as Hank Venture, and The Venture Bros. co-creator Doc Hammer as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. (Hammer and series co-creator Jackson Publick also wrote the script, and Publick directed.) Other voice cast members include Nina Arianda as Mantilla, Clancy Brown as Daisy and Red Death, John Hodgeman as Snoopy, Hal Lublin as Clayton, Jane Lynch as Bobbi St. Simone, Charles Parnell as Jefferson Twilight, Jay Pharoah as Nuno Blood, Steven Rattazzi as Dr. Orpheus, JK Simmons as Ben, and Dana Snyder as The Alchemist. A project of Titmouse, Adult Swim, and Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, all that radiant baboon heart blood will be gushing forth later this year.

Okay, Venturoos. Here's what ya get for the Extras, at least on the DVD version. I felt it was a little light, but that's just my opinion. Deleted Scenes (as always) - Some are B&W sketches with the dialog, others are animated with the dialog. Ghost in the Pro-Blem - An extended view of the distorted images of events from the Pro-BLEM's point of view. Maybe there are some clues hidden in it if you like frame-by-frame advancing. Maybe not. Sirena Goes Off... - Cristin Milioti ad-libbing way more dialog than the script calls for. Poor Rocco. Promo - Basically the season 7 promo. Maybe there's Easter Eggs to find. I haven't done any extensive searching yet. If anyone finds any feel free to post them here!
