Venture Bros. manages to get even weirder.


The new season of Venture Bros. started last week, with the first episode featuring some Tarantino-esk plot chopping and reshuffling, as if the show wasn't hard enough to keep up with in the first place.

Ever since this show started I've tirelessly lobbied my friends and family to get into it, with limited success. But from what I've seen of season 4 so far, I suppose its worth another shot.

I've never seen an animation that packs so much detail into a half hour; obscure cultural and sci-fi references, skewering satire, site gags and one liners that fly by so fast it takes several viewings to get them all, plus copious amounts of blood. There's something for everybody.

Even actual character development, with the brothers Hank and Dean becoming young adults, something almost unheard of in popular animation (Bart and Lisa never aged).

Its only weakness is that Venture Bros. really is one of the those shows you have to see from the beginning to get everything. Luckily, every episode can be viewed for free at Adultswim.com. Someone please validate me!
