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

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!

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.

The culmination of twenty years of quintessential character development, standard setting writing, and visual storytelling at its finest. Thank you Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick. Y'all have created a work of art that encapsulates the best and worse of humanity. From innocence & failure to the growth that comes with acceptance, The Venture bros. Is now the bar for serialized storytelling. From ingenious & palpable dialogue that captures the deep rooted insecurities and their associated overcompensation's to the mesmerizing backstories for even the most unsuspecting of background characters, The Venture Bros. Has managed to perfect storytelling as an art. Please do yourself a favor and watch this full series and tie up film. You won't regret it. Thanks again for the 20 years of eating for the next part of the story, for once it was actually worth it!

Team Venture since 2015!!! Absolute masterpiece! Finally a closure to the greatest show to ever exist taking in the fact that it is older than most would believe it to be. The references the characters and dialogue are all superb and i'm glad to have been a part of this adVenture for all of these years since its airing for the first time on A:S. The movie itself is good and im satisfied with it continuing upon the linear story that it is, looking forward to the theoretical revival of the show or the universe in general maybe a new show in this universe? Anyways Go Team Venture yall!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such a criminally under the radar show, it's so niche and unusual, and lasted through my child, teenage and now full adult years. I believe it's one of the last traditionally animated shows, it's only gotten better over time and this is no exception. It picks right up where it left off, the voice acting as always is on point and it solves as many questions as it asks, leaving me hopeful it can be picked up somewhere else. One of the all time great animated shows just waiting to go viral.

If you've never seen the Venture Bros, I highly recommend you start. The earliest season is a bit rough with the animation and it hasn't found it's footing, but still hilarious and sets up storylines that are still evolving. There are always 2 venture bros, is this a universal constant? What other secrets are lurking in Jonas venture's checkered past? What's next? Hopefully something, it's a nostalgia riddled modern show filled with topical references based on a love of 60's cartoons and pop culture.
