If the raffle drawing was on a Monday I would've won.

The raffle was fun. The live drawing went well. The math nerd in me wants to know stats like how many different people entered, what was the average number of tickets per person, and how many tickets each of the five winners had. Great job Mike!

Oh I can grab those pretty easily. There were about 205 distinct emails (which is not too shabby for a contest run not during a season) and 1573 tickets given out, so that works out to roughly 7.67 tickets per person. The most tickets assigned to one email was 58 and the least was obviously 1. The mode is 1 and the median is 2. The winners had, in descending order, 30, 20, 14, 3, 1, 1 tickets each which is kind of amazing to me. There were 14 people with more than 30 tickets and two more people with 30.

I got Brock!!! Oh man, I don't even care if he's weird in real life. He's Brock. Thank you so much for doing all of this, Mike. It's been a blast! You are such an excellent website host.

On a side note, they really need to start making these videos accessible on iproducts. Only having my ipod all weekend and not being able to see the video was super painful.

Congrats! There's a Ustream app that I think lets you view the videos. At the very least it lets you record so I assume it lets you view them. But yeah they need to communicate that better on their web site or something. And then with embedded videos it's just hopeless.

I wasn't expecting an ad at the begining of the video as was like, Wow. Mike is a lot older than I thought. Wait, E.D.? I hope that's not Mike...... Nope. Not Mike.

Whoopee!!! I won the Dr. Mrs. The Monarch! I was the guy who only got three tickets. Pretty sweet. I was holding back from getting the bobble heads but now that I have one I won't be able to resist getting them all.

YES! The Mighty Monarch is mine! Thanks for putting on the raffle, Mantis Eye! Without you, I wouldn't be able to add the Monarch to my desk space, next to some thing from Hallmark and Yo Gabba Gabba.

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!
