While a lot of people were upset when The Venture Bros. was cancelled in 2020, there were also a lot of people who asked, “Who the hell are the Venture brothers?”
It is for those people — and Venture Bros. completionists — that we now have The Venture Bros.: The Complete Series DVD, which presents every episode of the TV show…well, sort of.
When it began thirteen years ago, The Venture Bros. was an offbeat parody of such adventure cartoons as Scooby-Doo, G.I. Joe, and Johnny Quest, with some Fantastic Four, James Bond, and Henry Kissinger references thrown in for good measure.
But in the years since, this surreal ‘toon has managed to create its own mythology, one that continues to poke fun at cartoons, movies, TV, comics, and all kinds of good stuff, but it does so by creating unique and often intricate stories.
All of which, and more, is on full display in The Venture Bros. Season 6 Blu-ray and DVD, which is clearly (pun intended) the best way to watch this hilariously weird show.
Funko have announced that they’ll release a series of POP! toys this July inspired by the Adult Swim cartoon Rick And Morty. The show was co-created and is written by Community creator Dan Harmon and voice actor Justin Roiland, the latter of whom also voices the titular heroes.
Adult Swim have released a limited edition set of Venture Bros. bed sheets…and an image from an upcoming special episode of the ’toon.
Fox Home Video have announced that Family Guy Season Twelve will be released on DVD on December 9th.
Adult Swim has announced that the next Robot Chicken holiday special — Robot Chicken Lots Of Holidays But Don’t Worry Christmas is Still In There Too So Pull The Stick Out Of Your Ass Fox News Special — will air on Sunday, December 7th, at 11:30 ET/PT.
Given that they make the show out of old toys and stop-motion animation, you’d think the good people behind Robot Chicken would want the home version to be presented in the highest definition. Which is why it’s so bizarre that the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special 2 Villains In Paradise is only available on DVD and not Blu-ray. Though considering that’s the biggest complaint about this collection….
Earlier this year, Viz Media announced that they’d gotten the rights to 2007’s Moribito: Guardian Of The Spirit, the excellent action anime from Production I.G. (Blood: The Last Vampire, Attack On Titan) and director Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex). But while they’ve just rereleased the series on Blu-ray and DVD, this new version isn’t an improvement over the original editions.
