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

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 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.

If there is one drawback, it's that it's now all over and we didn't get an entire season, just a little less than an hour and a half. However, as is the style of Venture Bros, rather than look backward and attempt to tie up every loose end in a bout of fan service, this movie takes the show in yet another direction. Rather than parade all your favorite characters back around for little more than a callback, they introduce a few interesting, key characters that drive the whole story. It's funny and rendered flawlessly -- the show has looked better and better season after season, and it culminates in beauty that is this movie's animation. The short scene with Dr. Mrs. The Monarch escaping over the Hudson on Daisy, Red Death's Mecha-Horse, is evidence enough that the creators and artists involved have mastered their form and the we are witnessing a star burning out with the end of this show. It's engrossing and avoids sentimentality in favor for the goofy, droll humor we all know and love about Venture Bros. Yet, without trying, it is sentimental, it is a sad farewell, and this may have the only post-credit scene that makes you somberly smile more than it makes you laugh. A great 20 years and a fantastic conclusion.

This movie was so great! Packed with all the action and humor I've grow accustomed to with the show over the years! I'm a little disappointed pointed it was so short and had hoped they would be given a little more time to tie up all there loose ends, but otherwise phenomenal cast and characters! I could definitely see how scenes throughout the movie were originally intended to be episodes all their own. The villain and her motives were wonderfully silly for the cap stone on the Venture bros story, and it's definitely worth the watch. Let's hope a new company opens their eyes and help give the show the ending it really deserves.

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.
