The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart

I hope this is the first of many Venture Bros movies. It picks right up from where the shows ended. Thank you. So glad to get some closure, lol. This was one of the best shows on TV and so underrated, so well written and the how they tied every little detail together is impressive. Anyway, this movie was great! I only wish it was a little longer after waiting all this time since they finalized the cancellation of the series. But it was worth it. Amazing voice work, as always from the cast. I just happened to be online and I think I bought it on Amazon Prime video as soon as it came out. More than happy to send some money towards the creators, hopefully it makes bank and they keep making more of these.

9/10! I laughed through this movie. Great jokes, callbacks, and references. My only complaint was that it ended. Not all loose ends were tied up, thankfully. Gave it a 9 only because it was far too short for the grand spectacle that is the Venture Bros. Doc and Jackson made a solid piece of cinematic history! They have always held the delicate balance of topical references, intelligent humor and not so intelligent humor, and a true love for that which is their child. This did not feel like a good bye, but only the end of a chapter. They've left even more riddles to unravel. For as many 20 year old questions they answered, there are still 20 more years worth to answer! The blood of the baboon heart was truly radiant!

This was bitter sweet, but such an amazing movie! Doc and Jackson never fail to entertain! It ends where it all began. They answered some big questions but left enough room for future projects. I laughed so hard many times throughout the movie. The Monarch and Gary together always get themselves into situations that never turn out quite like they expected. Their antics are hilarious. We also get to see more of the Triad. It's a shame they couldn't have done a whole season, but they managed to make an awesome movie. If you're reading this and haven't bought the movie, buy it now or eat the pennies, Quizboy! 😉

I truly appreciate the love and dedication the whole team has put into this show over the years. The quality of animation, writing, story and character development got better with each season - and this finale was a decent way to say goodbye.

The quality of animation was top notch for this series, and the story was entertaining with only a few boring spots while transitioning through multiple plot lines. In other areas the plot felt rushed, but it's kinda expected since they didn't have a season or half-season to really expand it.

Overall its an enjoyable watch with a few lol moments, chuckle-worthy one liners, and a dash of Easter eggs and old school pop culture references.

Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart wraps up the cliffhangers and answers the bigger questions but left me feeling like the characters didn't get to the end of their rainbows. There's a throwaway spiel about family at the end and I suppose that was meant to tie it all together It just seems like a cop-out. All in all, it felt like the last episode of season 7 with a couple series finale answers thrown in. It was a good episode of The Venture Brothers. Not one of the best but good enough.

Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have some closure and the world is better with this closing chapter. Without it, it would have been the greatest TV travesty since My Name Is Earl.
