Movie Mondays!

Smart and funny, The Venture Brothers takes all the old cartoon and comic book clichés and turns them on their head with great results. It may be digestible for kids but adults are really the target audience for this great series airing as part of the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. It all begins here as viewers are introduced to Doctor “Rusty” Venture, his two sons Dean and Hank and their bodyguard Brock Samson. Facing off against arch enemy The Monarch who is aided by the gravely voiced Doctor Girlfriend, Team Venture careens from crisis to crisis. Imagine Johnny Quest grew up, got bald and had “daddy issues” and you begin to get a sense of Doc Venture, the two boys are amazingly näive (or stupid) and Brock is the ultimate macho killing machine. It all winds up being great fun and not-miss entertainment.


I’m repurposing content by taking my NetFlix reviews and posting them here on the blog. If I could figure out a way to do it, I’d post some kind of link for people to connect and make me their friend on the service. Unfortunately, it isn’t altogether clear how one would do that - so if you know a way, pass it along. In the meantime, I’ve got steady content for at least a year.
