The Venture Brothers
Categories: TV, ReviewsSo the new season of Venture Brothers started. It’s very much the same as before. I still enjoy it. It’s still boring sometimes. For those not in the know, Venture Brothers is basically an elaborate Johnny Quest spoof. The show is at its best during scenes of extreme cartoon violence, which are frequently done in clever ways like pole-vaulting using a man’s esophagus.
The show has a bad habit of being intolerably slow and obsessed with its own plot. However, that’s not such a bad thing when you consider that most other Adult Swim shows are completely devoid of plot. I enjoy Aqua Teen as much as the next guy, but eventually shows like Brak and Sealab and Aqua Teen all start to seem too lazy. As an aspiring writer, watching those shows periodically hits me with a moment of "God, I can’t believe the writers don’t care enough to construct even a loose plot for their 12 minute long show."
Venture Brothers is quite the opposite, usually trying to cram a movie-length plot into a 22 minute episode.
is there a reason you are using this instead of wordpress.org?

Yeah, wordpress wouldn’t let me edit themes so I chose this one since I didn’t care all that much about transferring my old posts.

Miles loves the Venture Brothers. We were considering being The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend for Halloween last year but we are lazy. Also, we went into Reel Video once and they were playing it because it had just come out on DVD and I pointed it out to him and he said HOLY SHIT really loudly and there were children there and their mother looked horrified and we ran away to the TV section.
