div‘The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart’ review/div - https://lnkd.in/gYXEpvEx - - New Post Shared by www.shipwr3ck.com - - Twenty years in the making, the finale of The Venture Bros. had finally arrived in the form of the direct-to-video feature-length film, The Venture Bros.: Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. For fans who've followed the series since its 2003 pilot debut, it's strange to even consider saying goodbye to Hank and Dean, Rusty and Brock, and their many foes, including The Monarch, 21, and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. We've seen these characters grow from spoofs of '60s adventure-cartoon archetypes to deeply flawed and compelling heroes and villains. So, as funny and action-packed as this finale is, there's a bittersweet undercurrent as viewers grapple with what not even death or messy mergers could do: end the Venture Bros. What's The Venture Bros. movie about?

Radiant Is the Blood of the Baboon Heart picks up a week after the Season 7 finale, in which Hank Venture had wandered off from a hospital, "escaping" his coma after realizing his beloved brother Dean had slept with Hank's girlfriend, Sirena. Wounded emotionally from the betrayal and wounded physically in the head, Hank has shed his "skin" — meaning his Venture-brand jacket and phone — to set course for a quest of his own: to find his mother. Meanwhile, Dean is desperate to find Hank. Eaten up by guilt, he calls in OSI. And when former bodyguard/eternal badass Brock Samson and his team fail, Dean teams with theatrical necromancer Dr. Orpheus and Blacula hunter Jefferson Twilight to track down his MIA brother. The boys' father, Rusty "Doc" Venture, is less worried. After all, Hank's gotten out of deadlier circumstances, like fighting an army of science-gone-wrong experiments on an island like Dr. Moreau's. So, Rusty's focus is on the launch of a HelperPod, which could make or break Venture Industries, and which has the OG Helper in an absolute tizzy for fear of being replaced. - His beeps are very distressed! - However, while Rusty and his R&D team of Billy and White work out a few weird kinks, a new villain is on the scene, ready to give The Monarch a vicious glow-up. To keep light on spoilers, let's just say Mantilla pops up in the trailer, and is voiced with moxie by acclaimed actress Nina Arianda. Mantilla's going to make life very complicated for The Monarch, his second-in-command 21, and his wife, testing Sheila's allegiances to the Guild of Calamitous Intent. Radiant Is the Blood is a lot — and not enough.
