The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart (2023)
Perfect and bittersweet
The end of the best written show in television history. Hammer and Publicks babys for 20+ years. A perfect example of what incredible things creators can make for us when given sufficient time and freedom, everyone following this show from the early days is familiar with the long waits between seasons, always well worth it.
The movie is venture bros to the core and a fitting end for the characters we have all come to love, you can really tell just how much the creators care about this show, but it's one that I'm sure any fan of this show is going to feel at least a little sad, longing for that season 8. Here's to hoping adult swim, HBO whoever is behind the decision comes to their senses and greenlights another season. I have a feeling the boys will be up for it and it would be glorious.
For anyone reading this that hasn't watched the venture bros, if you watched cartoons from the early 2000s back to the 60s, if you like old school spy drama and super science, if you just enjoy an incredibly written and hilarious show with an intricate well woven plot and incredible character development, start the series now.
Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
An extremely underrated comedy
I turned this on out of boredom, a love for Brooks and Nielsen, and a curiosity for "bad" movies.
Not even 20 minutes in and I had multiple genuine laughs and found nothing but charm and that only continued throughout the rest of the film. It is far from brooks or Nielsen's best work, but contains great slapstick and witty quips throughout just like we want from their movies. This parody of dracula maybe fell flat at the time because it seemed to familiar, I'm not sure. But it has aged extremely well, the goofy dracula and his brides is refreshing after the years of "sensual seductive" vampire films. Seriously, check out this movie, If you enjoy their previous works, I think you'll enjoy this.
