Hot on the heels of the Dragon*Con video we have the promo shown after Pomp & Circuitry for the next episode, "Any Which Way But Zeus". Looks like some stuff's going down:

The guy lying next to 21 above is Captain Sunshine's buttler, Desmond. Why'd these guys kidnap him? Although I guess you can ask the same about Pete and Billy.
Also, the guys at the table are both members of The Council of 13 (if you count Dragoon and Red Mantle as 2 people) and OSI brass. Guess they're in their undies as they don't trust each other.

re: why they'd kidnap Desmond

It looks like they're kidnapping the hangers-on and associates, for whatever reason, rather than main heroes and villains. No "big names" are there. 21 is there (associate of The Monarch), Pete and Billy (associates of Dr. V.) and Desmond (associate of Cpt. Sunshine).

I have no idea of why they'd do that, but in the trailer, at least, it looks like ONLY associates have been kidnapped. Curious, but at least it's consistent.

Gathers wasn't kidnapped. He's in the summit to deal with the problem. The Roman-looking dudes are the kidnappers.

But Shoreleave WAS kidnapped, an associate of Hunter's. ;)

Yeah, Ghost Robot was gladiating in one of the season trailers and you could consider him an associate of Captain Sunshine. But it is strange that it's B and C team only. Maybe they're trying to lure as many big names in as possible and take them out. I don't know.

I'm just gonna throw this out there. Could the organization that captured everone, be one of the other organizations of villainy that the guild are probably running out of business? Possibly the Fraternity of Torment?

Ahaha! I like how your name is "that guy"

I hope it's not dumb either because gladiators and all the crazy characters showing up left me like "wtf is this?" But I know it's still going to be fun.

i knew punctuation was just a passing fad i tried to tell that to my 4th grade teacher back in `75 but she didn't believe me

Sorry. Just bustin', "that guy".
Also, doubtfull on the Fraternity of Tourment. Unless Scaramantula recruited more memebers, Brainulo's brain got fried and Phantom Limb likely killed the retired Manotaur. That was their only members. These gladiator guys are probably an organization we haven't seen before.

It should be noted that those were the only members shown in 1959, or 19 f*ckin' 59 as Brainulo put it.

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.

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!
