MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ALL OF US AT AFTER THE HYPE! In the spirit of the holidays we thought it would be a hoot to give you a battle episode featuring those feel good Christmas movies you might see on ABC Family, Freeform, Hallmark, etc. We had blast pitting these movies against each other, and even brought in producer Brian Nolan to join in the holiday tussle.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Bryan Dressel, Nick “Sugar Cookie” Friedemann, and Graham “Bah-Humbug” Mason over at Venture Bros HQ. This is the only holiday special, and it’s…certainly a thing.
It’s a solid Holiday Special and ends a very venture Bros way. Not a whole lot to say about it with it’s short run time.

This week we talk about the weird and wildly unpredictable Sorry To Bother You from director Boots Riley, and starring Lakeith Stanfield. It’s unlike anything we’ve seen before and we dive deep into what worked and what REALLY WORKED. Watch out for spoilers as we discuss the ending at length.
Sam is about to embark on her own journey to New Zealand, and she’s nervous. She turns to the Lord of the Rings for some holiday travel tips.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick “Pear” Friedemann, and Graham “Clementine” Mason talk about the next episode of season three – The Invisible Hand of Fate, aka “Venture Brothers Do Fan Service,” which is actually kind of good.
This is a “lore” heavy episode. I love how it still works as a stand alone episode. The characters are so good we don’t even need the whole cast to have a great episode.

OK, so before you bite my head off, I know that zombie films have been around for longer than 50 years. The title of this article refers to the zombies as we know them today which begun with Night of the Living Dead. The “zombies” in Night of the Living Dead are closer in lore to vampires than actual zombies. While zombies are reanimated corpses, they didn’t turn others into zombies by biting them before Romero. In fact, Romero never referred to the monsters in Night of the Living Dead as “zombies”; they called them “Ghouls” in the film. He rarely had characters referred to them as “zombies” in his subsequent films, I can only recall one usage of the word “zombie” and that was in Dawn of the Dead. Anyway, back to the subject at hand.

It’s quite the exercise in style that is not without its flaws. Special thanks to friend of the show Traci Ennes for joining us to talk about this aggressively stylish film!
In April of this year, after two years of constant turmoil, frustration, anger, sadness, stress, and poverty, I got divorced. It was one of the worst experiences of my life, but I don’t regret going through it because I’m much happier now that it’s over. It totally changed my perspective on marriage and relationships in general, and I’ve been noticing lately that my reaction to fictional relationships on my television has been forever altered as well.
Season two of THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL hit me in a way I wasn’t expecting.
Special guest Will Plummer joins Sam for a round of Sam Wise “Live,” in which they discuss drawing boundaries with parents. Turns out Elrond is no match for Sam Wise! Sam also touches on work-life balance and metal work.

This week on the show Bryan Dressel, Nick “Star Fruit” Friedemann, and Graham “Zuccini…wait…Kiwi” Mason discuss The Doctor is Sin, in which Dr. Killinger attempts to turn Dr. Venture into a villain so he can arch his brother. It’s a fun episode all around.
This episode really deals with a difficult topic. Anxiety and self esteem issues can cripple us in many ways and in this episode we get to see how those things affected his development as a person and as a professional.
