The Mantis-Eye Experiment

Satisfy your burning desires for more Venture with an official video of the hijinks filled Dragon*Con panel. Also if you have burning desires you might want to get that checked out. Sounds infected.

Right on schedule Adult Swim has posted the season premiere of the Venture Bros. online for those who are able to watch such things (it's generally limited to people in the US). So if you haven't seen it or just need to rewatch for free, there you go!

Oh, fancy seeing you here! It's time for our weekly open discussion of Venture Bros.. This week's episode is entitled "Pomp & Circuitry". As always, keep discussion civil and try not to be a jerk. You're all good kids though, so I'm sure there won't be any problems. Also fair warning: the comments will likely be full of spoilers, so if you haven't seen the episode yet then you might want to take that into consideration. Don't forget to vote on the episode after you've seen it!

This episode will be online on Adult Swim Video in a week and a day (9/27) but last week's episode will be up on the site tomorrow. It will probably be on iTunes at some point tomorrow as well.

And finally if you're desiring even more Venture, I have podcast interview with series creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer from Friday and you also have until Wednesday to enter to win a Monarch tshirt.

If you read this site with any regularity then they are two guys who need no introduction. Jackson and Doc. Not only do they make The Venture Bros., but they also happen to be pretty damned hilarious and pretty nice guys to boot.

Back when I was trying to come up with some cool stuff for the Five Years thing the most obvious feature was of course an interview with Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer. It's something I've wanted to do on the site for a long time (since the gap between seasons one and two) but I just never got around to or even thought was possible.

I would have settled for a written interview, but thanks to the awesome generosity and kindness of Jackson & Doc we all get to experience those guys answering my weird questions in audio form. Basically everyone wins.

Not to be outdone by the original Venture Bros. season 4.2 trailer, Adult Swim has recut a new one which delves even further into the upcoming episodes. As with many trailers it does contain scenes from upcoming episodes, so if you're trying to avoid that sort of thing you may want to avert your eyes. IF YOU DARE!!


Thanks to Robert and BP in the comments for mentioning this!

Phase two of Five Years: Weekly Giveaways starts now! Or rather it started 22 minutes ago. Today's prize is a crazy (and apparently rare) cream/beige Monarch t-shirt with art from the season two DVD by Jackson himself! If you entered to win the season one DVD you have to re-enter for this one, so go, enter now!

As often happens during new episodes, the full capsule for The Diving Bell Vs. The Butter-glider is up. Feel free to post (or email if you're shy) and corrections, additions and so on. Enjoy!

Adult Swim has put up their promo of "Pomp & Circuitry" that aired after the last episode. Warning: contains spills and thrills!

It's that time of the year again! New episodes begin and this is the place to talk about them! For those of you not familiar, here's the drill: say whatever you want about the episode or the series, discuss, debate, have a good time! Be civil and polite and everything will be great. For those of you who aren't watching the episode or haven't seen it yet be warned that the comments will probably contain spoilers, so read at your own risk! Other than that have fun and enjoy!

And after you watch it feel free to rate it on the episode page.

Also the episode will be up on Adult Swim Video in a week (9/20). However if you can't wait you can purchase it on iTunes for $1.99 or subscribe to all of season four for $24.99.

Along with tonight's premiere, Jackson has a quick update with one quick snippet I'm sure will prove popular:

Speaking of the west coast, I've just returned from a quick, last minute trip to Los Angeles, where I had the pleasure of recording TV's Nathan Fillion for an episode which will air later this season. Despite having a penchant for vaguely sadistic party games, Mr. Fillion was an absolute blast to work with, and it was my pleasure to put myself out of an acting gig by having him replace my uncharismatic scratch track.
