We're here, the end of the Venture Bros. for now. Hopefully. As long as that WB merger doesn't shake everything up and kill the movie. But we're going to think positive for now, and cover the DVD extras, read your responses to season 7, and offer up our firsts and worsts. Thank you so much for listening!

Here we are at the end of the series, what was regrettably the finale before the movie was announced. It's time for the Monarch to ascend to a Level Ten villain status, and the Guild puts on a big show about Saphrax and Altheaus, the original villain and henchman, to commemorate it. It's... incongruous. Meanwhile, Dean shares sweet moments with a comatose Hank, while Hank ventures through a psychedelic mindscape, and Brock slaughters tens of henchmen for the first time in a long time.

A strange blizzard has overtaken New York, and the OSI and the Guild must partner up to stop the culprits: The Peril Partnership. Rusty and Billy head to the skies to stop the weather machine, while 21 and the Monarch head to the leader's compound. Meanwhile, Hank ventures out into the snow to find Sirena, who isn't responding to his texts... but he'll end up wishing he'd left that stone unturned.

Jeremy returns to cover for Gary while he recovers from Covid, and we talk about this fun, Guild-focused episode where the Council takes on their final arches. It's a series of vignettes as they settle their old grudges, and Dr. Mrs. the Monarch's final arch happens to be Novia, a black widow who Rusty happens to be (foolishly) courting.

This week, Jeremy joins Kole to talk about a very good episode of this television show, "The Unicorn in Captivity". Rusty manages to invent teleportation, which draws the attention of unsavory characters. Meanwhile, the Monarch reluctantly joins a heist crew led by Copy Cat. Jeremy will be back next week, and Gary will be returning from his Covid break the week after that!

Hey everyone! Announcement time. Gary caught Covid-19 and circumstances conspired to make it so we can't have a show this week. To give him time to recover, we're skipping this week, and I (Kole) will be hosting the next two episodes of the show with special guest Jeremy Greer, of Days of Future Cast and His Kingdom Keeps. We hate missing episodes of the show, and we really try not to make a habit of it. We apologize for not having new content for you this week, and we thank you for whatever patience you can extend our way.

A Level 1 villain has to start somewhere, and that's where the Big Villains program comes in. The Monarch steps up to take Augustus St. Cloud under his wing for his first arching, which is less an act of altruism and more another attempt to get under Rusty's skin. The result is a fun episode that's mostly jokes and doesn't really move anything forward, but we need those from time to time.

Gwen joins us to talk about the Inamorata Consequence, an episode that follows the plotline that no one asked for: the secret romance between Agent McManus and S-464. But we do get some nice Dean moments, which has been rare lately, and learn what happened with Dermot ever since the Ventures pulled up roots.

Just like every sitcom has the "learning the dangers of credit cards" episode, every cartoon must have the "rich person realizes they're broke" episode. Maybe that's just this and the Simpsons. Regardless, the Monarch learns that he's broke after completely renovating his parents' condemned mansion, and now he has to work the steps to get back on his feet. This involves finding his way back into Dean's life, even though the boy just escaped his father's clutches to live in the dorms at Stuyvesant University.
