And goddamn it, the cigarette holder and staccato dialogue are dead giveaways. This episode should be used as a masterclass in writing, I’m telling you.ĮVAN: Graeme, I too didn’t catch the Hunter S. Thompson parody, the James Bond parodies, Hank’s sexual awakening and hallucenogenic programming (with the greatest post-credit explanation/punchline why would there even be a paper mache machete on the wall?) – to fill the thirty minutes: There’s almost no downtime in the entire episode, and yet it all hangs together amazingly well, with no filler and no fat. It helps that there’s just so much… stuff this week – the SHIELD outfits, the Hunter S. GRAEME: Again, it’s one where everything happens to the Ventures, although at least Brock gets to be in control of what he’s doing for once (I’d also forgotten that being Rusty’s bodyguard is actually an OSI mission – “Rusty’s blanket,” indeed – at this point), and continues my theory that the show is at its best when everything happens to the main characters, instead of them going out to look for adventures. GRAEME: Actually, this episode in general may be my favorite, with all the fun Molotov Cocktease stuff – including the flashbacks to when she had two eyes! – and the introduction of Hunter (Thompson) Gatherer, a joke I have to shamefacedly admit I’ve missed for the five or so years I’ve been watching the show before this weekend. As an added bonus, we get to see Brock in tons of various disguises, which is always fun. Sure, it’s no “the Adventures of Rusty Venture and Roommates in College”, but it’s nice to know how Brock became a super spy. MICHELLE: I love all the backstory episodes, and this one is especially good. It’s such a great collision of innocence, the real world and the awkward space in between that this show occupies, I love it. than Dean thinking that Hank’s erection is because his pants are haunted by native Americans who’ve set up a teepee in there, I really don’t know what it could be. GRAEME: If there is a better moment in all of the Venture Bros. This week, Evan Narcisse, Michelle Castillo and Graeme McMillan talk about Season 2/Episode 3: “ Assassinanny 911“ Cartoon Network’s just started airing the series from the start and Techland’s Hive Mind is taking the occasion to re-watch the exploits of Hank, Dean, Brock and Dr. Superheroes, mythical creatures, action figures and barely believeable sci-fi all flop onto each other on the glorious cavalcade that is The Venture Bros. “The power-hungry TRIBUNAL unveils their secret and deadly “Falconback Project” as the world grows in embattled chaos and the menacing Doomstar breaches the Earth’s atmosphere while the mysterious and twisted dissent of a band member threatens the future of Dethklok.Follow at Techland, only one television program manages to tie into so many of our geeky obsessions all at once. “A continuation of the hit animated series, fans will find out what happens next with Frylock, Meatwad and Master Shake, who consider themselves crime fighters, but the truth is they never fight crime.”įinally, here’s the synopsis for Metalocalypse‘s film: RELATED: Adult Swim Cancels The Venture Bros.
