Update of the Century-y-y-y

Jackson's House Of Pancakes And Also Waffles If You Ask Nicely (And Probably Some Venture Bros.) has a big ol' update on this lovely week and some change away from the start of The New Season, otherwise known as the second half of season four. Update includes news that they're almost done cutting together the final episode of the season (which is an hour long for those who missed that news). There's also a collage o' awesome which contains scenes from things seen in the Comic-Con trailer as well as some new stuff (do I spy the return of Girl Hitler? I think I do!).

Also for the completionist in all of us Jackson has been kind enough to reveal the names for all the episodes. These are listed in the order they will air:
  • "The Diving Bell Vs. The Butter-glider"
  • "Pomp & Circuitry"
  • "Every Which Way But Zeus"
  • "Everybody Comes to Hank's"
  • "Bright Lights, Dean City"
  • "Assisted Suicide"
  • "The Silent Partners"
  • "Operation: P.R.O.M."
Note that proper nomenclature dictates you put TV show individual episodes in quotations and the title of the series in italics, even if I don't follow those rules on this site at all times. Now, let the speculation begin!

Two things:

1. Looks like JJ really is making Giganta - 2 (in the stratosphere)

2. seems as though Monstroso wants revenge

1. Beautiful! The still of Gargantua-2 is a really stunning image. I can't believe how beautiful this show is becoming.

2. Good call! I was trying to remember who those red-hooded dudes were.

"Every Which Way But Zeus" is the best episode title ever.

I also think that "Operation PROM" might have something to do with this:

There don't seem to be any BIG changes in this set. The inking looks slightly better than in the (already great) first half of the season, and everything else seems to be at about the same level. The one closeup of Doc looks just a little bit funky, but that mayyy be because it's based on a slightly older model-- if I'm not mistaken, that outfit premiered in "Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman."

Oh no. There aren't any big changes. Now that I look at it I only find J.j's face and White's face to be just a lil different. Nothing crazy. Not complaining though!
12 days! WOOOOO

I don't know if that's entirely true, it might just be covered by the helmet. he only has a chinstrap type of deal, like Doc, so it would be hidden in there.

his model does look a little more refined though, which makes sense since we haven't really seen him since season three (maybe very briefly in season 4.1?)

Yep, The Lepidopterists was the last time we physically saw him, so he's been due for a redefinition.

"The Silent Partners" has me intrigued. I'm hoping for another great pre-season finale episode like ORB.

For some reason, "Assisted Suicide" is the one that stuck out to me. Super excited about the premiere coming so soon. The pics look awesome. Can't wait to see Dean try to hack it in the big city.

Ever since I heard it referenced I have been dying to see Uncle JJ's take on Gargantua-2. I hope we see it completed. I bet it is 100 times more futuristic than the old one.

Can't wait. Seriously. Also, Adult Swim posted the shorter trailer (with new clips!) that they've been showing lately on their Youtube page:

Dean in that small apartment, or cheap hotel room, reminds me of Tom Hanks in Big when he first moved to the city and the payphone was right outside his door.

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. Go Team Venture! https://gizmodo.com/venture-bros-movie-adult-swim-warner-bros-animation-1850353234

It's a month old but there's not much news here for two years at a time, so whatever :) https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/the-venture-bros/281421/the-venture-bros-season-8-jackson-publick-doc-hammer

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!
