In case you missed it from Sunday night, AS has put up the promo for the next episode, "Everybody Comes to Hank's". This one seems to promise noir on some level or another, which I can certainly say is a good thing. Enjoy:

As was Jollyrancher82 (literally). I'm well aware of that. Still doesn't diminish her fanserviceness.

Already looks like my favorite episode of the back half. Hank and film noir. I could not look forward to this more.

Well, I'll throw it out there.

What did Dr.Mrs.The Monarch say at the end of Season2 when She and the Monarch where in the escape cocoon?

Yeah, so, about those Loose Ends....Adding another random episode isn't going to mean dick, especially if it is just a fantasy episode.

She told him she applied to the guild as a duo. Hence the new costume...

I don't believe that's ever been confirmed. A lot of people assume that's what she meant by how Shadowman 9 starts but it's still kinda up for debate.

I don't see how it hasn't:

The Monarch: And how you turned to me and softly made your brave confession...
Dr. Girlfriend: Yeeah?
The Monarch: And how this is the last fucking thing I expected you to say!!

Well, they were fighting Guild robots so I don't see how that says a duoship automatically. It's probably what she said but I agree with Pyroth that it's still not definite.

That was part of their test (or crucible maybe) to verify they were worthy of duo-ship. They had to work together to survive. That's what I got out of it anyway and I do believe that was her "confession" to The Monarch. I agree it was sort of Maggie shot Mr. Burns. You know Doc and JP got a laugh out of all the fan speculation, such as Sheila being pregnant and what not.

I agree with Mike. Do we know FOR SURE? I'm talking... dead on FLASH-BACK for sure? We don't know what she exactly said. It could be anything....

Agree with me or I'll send my Diamond Dogs...

If you watch Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny with the commentary on.....the meaning of what she said is very clear.

Exactly my point.

They love loose ends, and basically teasing their fans. I love VB and this is just part of the package. You got to muster up and accept you are going to be dicked over from time to time.

I am an avid Venturenaut, but this is holodeck or dream sequence looking, good call. Will watch with a hopeful eye.

Mike, I love your site.

This is a show that used to be ALL ABOUT arbitrary tangents and ALL ABOUT having an unresolved and mysterious story. No disrespect to anybody here (we're all pals and fellow Venturoos) but I don't understand being put off by the idea of an episode or two that isn't "Twenty-Four is still alive and he's on the run from his past!"

Hank and the Alchemist (!?) solving mysteries together? Bring that bullshit on!

(Although, I hope the 'sode is a little more visually appealing than what's in this promo; a lot of the animation in this clip is really stilted and awkward. It may just be the editing.)

Any suggestions? I forgot to make one for Any Which Way But Zeus so I was just going to think of one after the next episode aired.

Another one could be which back-ground character who doesn't have a back-story would we like to see it; list could included many like Dr. Quenten Ball or Q-ball, Truckulese, Mommy Longlegs, Chairman Wow, Unicorneilus, Electric Plug Guy. Wild Fop, the Green-guill-guy, the Burnt-up guy w/jet pack and my fave who I am calling the Spainaird, the matador-looking guy w/the really flat hat.

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!
