You've Been Down Too Long in the Midnight Sea

Shirt Club! This week's shirt is Molotov's Black Hearts logo, which actually isn't even in this week's episode (though it will appear next week). As an added bonus if you buy the girl shirt you get two bucks off! So that's $20 for domestic, $23 for international. Also it's a white tank-top! Men shirts still cost full price, and it's a black t-shirt.

Pretty damn cool. Wonder what the last shirt will be?

disappointing, Moltov really wasn't featured to heavily this episode... She pretty was one step above a background cameo. Gathers could have given the information on the Assassin's to Brock, and it probably would have been funnier...

Remember, though, this is a show that really cares about establishing a working world. Molotov and her Black Hearts now have a logo.

This means they are going to be showing up a lot more, which is TOTALLY AWESOME.

You know. I was thinking the same thing. She wasn't really a must in the episode. Hunter wouldve made the profiles funnier just by being him the one telling it to us. She was just thrown there for the sake of it.
Disappointing indeed.

When I saw her in Jackson's screen shot a few months ago, I figured She would be in just 1 episode where she was a large supporting role, (Like the last 2 seasons) The Alchemist got more screen time than her (and that's not even counting this season) Not to say that I don't like Al, it's just that he isn't connected to the main cast as strongly as Billy, or Mol.

yes, but there was a logical reason why mol would have known (the OSI contacted her about the job). why would hunter have known?

He said he had moles in OSI, so that maybe? I am pretty sure Molotov and the Black Hearts will come into play more in the next episode though. There wasn't really any other shirt they could have made from this episode except maybe a 'GO TEAM HELPER' shirt that I would have bought in a second. :(

I, too, would like to salute the selfless leader of the brotherhood of machines..... HELPeR has always been upbeat, positive and giving to both the Jonas Venture and Thaddeus Venture families.

Color me suprised but impressed. Love the detail on the skull. Actually it makes sense to do this one this week, cause you know JP/DH want to go out with a super bitchin shirt. And although this is a slick shirt indeed, its not the one to end Shirt Club with.

Now that we know there is no Monarch shirt in the near future, it's anyone's guess to how it will all end...

This is a pretty nice shirt. Not sure if I'll buy it but it has a fresh design. I got my Dean! shirt a week ago and I can't figure out what the fuck you guys were complaining about a few weeks ago. That shirt is fuckin' fresh and it's the 2nd best shirt overall. I can't believe some people were hating on Dean the way they were. I'd thought they would be happy with the shirt. But no, they wanted that stupid Quymn logo.

My girlfriend didn't know there was a Dean shirt and saw it recently on the website. She got mad at me for not telling her there was a shirt with Dean's face on it.

c'mon, Dean's fab but the shirt design was stupid -- and this was after an episode *introducing* a counter-venture family, with neato pink-themed logos and all.

It was not unreasonable to want a Quymn shirt.

If I was in public, walking around the mall, at a bar, something, and I saw a girl rocking this tank top I would instantly drop on one knee and ask her to marry me. I'm purchasing a wedding ring in preparation for this occasion that'll probably never happen.

While I'm at it, Holy Diver's transformation into his armor clad alter ego was a parody of the 80's cartoon show The Centurions. I really had to think back to remember that crappy show. Here's the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Centurions_(TV_series)

Butter me Hank, I'm on a roll!

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!
