Episode Recap of “Bright Light, Dean City”

In this week’s episode of the Venture Bros, we learn the details of Dean’s internship at Impossible Industries in New York City. The episode takes place at the same time Hank was at home selling Rusty’s old junk, playing detective, and getting lucky.

It starts out with Phantom Limb narrating the demise of many characters including Jonas Jr, Girl Hitler, the Monarchs, and the Guild. Before we can digest this, the scene pans out. It was Limb’s revenge wish list that Professor Impossible calls a “bit killy.” Ünterbheit tries to have his say, but the other two insist he needs to prove his loyalty and he snaps his manservant’s neck. When Dean comes in to the room, Ünterbheit and Limb hide.

Episode Recap of “Everybody Comes to Hank’s”

In this week’s episode of the Venture Bros, a question that’s been lingering since season 3 is answered with a surprising twist. We also learn the memory wipe machine is working overtime, putting on a fedora everything turns black and white, and our little Hank is becoming a man.

The episode starts with Dean in a lime green leisure suit getting ready for an internship in New York. This spurs Rusty into badgering Hank to find employment better then “mafia don, fire eater, or traveling race car salesmen.” Fast forward four days and Hank has resurrected Hankco’s from season 1. No longer just a lemonade and grinder stand, Hank has turned it in into a Superstore. Besides being a glorified yard sale, Hankco’s is also a cafe, notary, and massage parlor.

Episode Recap of “Every Which Way…”

In this week’s episode of the Venture Bros, the good guys team up with the bad in order to stop Zeus from kidnapping just about everyone. If that sounds too straight forward, don’t forget the plot twists, tons of arguing, and the weirdest code names ever.

The episode starts with Zeus coming to take Billy. He calls for Pete, who runs in claiming to be the brains behind the duo. Zeus doesn’t know who Pete is, but he takes them both, perhaps just to shut them up. The kidnapping doesn’t stop there, as other scientist and hero types are taken. Hunter and Brock get ready for a boy’s night out at the local strip club. Shore Leave doesn’t want to go and tells them to “enjoy their shame.” Zeus shows up to take Shore Leave.

Episode Recap of “Pomp & Circuitry”

Last night’s Venture Bros was filled with so many references to past episodes, it warmed my heart. Doc Hammer once said, “Continuity is a bitch,” but many things not only paid tribute to the past, they gave us a glimpse at what’s to come.

The episode opens with Hank and Dean in their learning beds. Every time “Rusty” is suppose to be mentioned in the lesson, it’s dubbed with “Hank and Dean.” I never imaged them actually graduating from their learning beds, but Dean’s diploma prints out. There’s talk of college and career advice from Billy. What careers will two horribly sheltered boy clones pick? Some of the careers Hank wants are drifter, owner of Chimp Eden, and two different eras of Batman. (Golden age and post crisis) While Dean choices include husband, boy detective, and boy reporter. But no “super scientist”, as Rusty points out. Billy explains Hank and Dean aren’t ready for college as their knowledge is as outdated as “Funk and Wagnalls.” Rusty learns Hank’s diploma never printed and he “better get back in that bed until you graduate.” Hank in a very Batman moment, rebels and runs off to join S.P.H.I.N.X. and he’s actually pretty good at his montage of trials. He’s “Brock trained”, after all.

Episode Recap of “The Diving Bell vs. The Butter-Glider”

In true Venture fashion, the season premiere of the Venture Bros. “The Diving Bell vs. the Butter-Glider” was packed with action, surprises, and hilarity.

The opening scene begins with Dr. Venture, paralyzed but conscious in Sgt. Hatred’s jeep. The Venture’s are under attack from the Monarch’s Coccoon. Hank is firing a heavy machine gun until he runs out of “gun food.” In the Cocoon, we see Henchmen 21 in charge and the Monarch is no where to be found. At last, Team Venture arrives at the hospital.
