There are huge stretches of Venture Brothers that I just straight up do not remember at all, so I figured there'd be something to disprove it somewhere down the line. I've pretty much forgotten anytime Rusty's done anything right.

Rusty is definitely a genius, but it's quickly overshadowed by his laziness and greed. Anything he does is for his own benefit, and not to make the world a better place.

Plus, you know, WALKING EYE!

Spoilers about The Prestige pretty much the plot of that movie...Wolverine has an amazing teleportation machine, but it turns out it's just cloning him night after night. He goes on each night knowing he's going to die.

Though I do remember the fun speculation on how the series would continue. Clones was the primary front-runner, but other popular options were that the twins would be gone entirely, and "The Venture Brothers" would just mean Rusty and Jonas

That's one of the reasons I still love the Season 2 opener. Little things like the intro being changed to show Rusty and Jonas Jr. running around, and Jonas saying "But we're the Venture Brothers!" Nice fake out.

It's because Nicholas Gurewitch did a Kickstarter and one of the stretch goals was "release several new PBF comics". I'm guessing we'll have another dry stretch.

Yeah the official promise was 6 new comics in 6 days...that didn't happen

I like to think his dart shooter has a fancy setting that just makes the tranq stuff super lethal at the press of a button. I mean, in the past he had to alternate with odd and even numbers but now he's in the medium tier slum lord leagues!

He's clearly got several different darts for different occasion. The stuff they use to clean up vomit, a tiny man, etc.

Something tells me that The Monarch will either be divorced or a widower by the end of this season. Two weeks ago I was leaning towards the former, now I'm more firmly towards the latter.

No way does Dr. Mrs. The Monarch die. Her, the Monarch, Brock and the boys are pretty much the core cast that the finale will focus on when it airs in 2022, during season 8.

I'm hanging on to a thread of hope that they'll write in think tank to next season, maybe he survived because he made a protective bubble right before the harangatank smooshed him into the ground. He's just badly injured guys I'm sure of it at this point.

This post just made me realize that I had a dream recently where there was another episode with him in it. I don't know if I'm sad that I'm dreaming about Venture Brothers or proud.

Yep, that's what gave me the idea. If Mark Hamil wasn't charging 190bux for an autograph i'd get him to sign the Simpsons season he was in as well. Conroy is only $40.

BTW, other greybeards remember when you got autographs for free, or for a donation to charity? God drat for profit cons.

drat pirates downloading everything instead of buying DVDs and paying for cable forcing people to charge for stuff. :(

In another thread, somebody posted that Amazon(?) was pulling access to digital copies of Final Space that had been purchased in their store. I feel like that's happened before (maybe with iTunes?). Like even if you paid a price commiserate to purchasing physical copies of these seasons, you're losing access to them--in this case likely forever.

EDIT: Here it is. I haven't vetted it myself.


So yeah, apparently purchase physical copies and/or pirate your media, because you don't ever truly own access to them otherwise.

I have pirated copies of VB for just this reason. I've bought them on physical AND digital so I don't feel bad about having a backup.
