A year and a half ago my entire life changed. I became a dad. It’s the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and I couldn’t be happier. But being a dad really takes a lot of time and work, and that leaves little room for things that I used to spend all my time doing, seeing movies, watching TV, reading comics, playing video games, and digging through the internet for new music. With all of that in mind, I’m going to have to my end of year list a little different than the past. This year, each category gets one winner and no runner ups. I’m also so out of the loop that I won’t bother saying what is the best, just my favorites. All set? Ready? Let’s go!

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Graham “Dean Venture” Mason, and Nick “Hank Venture” Friedemann jump right the heck into Season Seven of Venture Bros. This is it, the final season…for now. Join the gang as they break down this jam-packed “final” season.
On today’s adventure we have a wonderful conversation with our friend Denise aka Nyzechu. If you haven’t caught one of her Dead by Daylight streams yet then cuddle up next to the fire and give this episode a listen would you kindly? Oh and she has an interesting choice for her favorite Legend of Zelda game.
Special Thanks to the ocean for being the insanely scary and beautiful at the same time.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
It’s a very confusing time for Padme, coming into her own and embracing the Autassassinophiliac within her. And Anakin is dealing with…stuff. But hey, Kamino is pretty cool, and that third act is quite riveting, and we get to see Yoda do lightsaber fighting. I mean, at the end of the day it’s not a TOTAL loss, right? Right?
Right?
In 1984, a film was released that was considered to be a flop at the time. It made very little at the box office, however, the film went on to become a cult classic. The reason for this is: nobody really knows exactly what the film is about. You can speculate; you can say what the story beats are,-you can even think that you know what the deeper meaning of the story is. The truth is- this is a film that is completely unique to everyone who watches it. It’s a film that could easily be dismissed as a cheesy product of the 1980’s. You would be so very wrong in your dismissal though. There is more to this film than it’s cheesiness- which there are moments of- there is no denying that. One of the biggest draws of the film is the fact that it dumps the audience into an existing universe and offers very little information about it up front. It tells the audience ‘this is the world, you’ll catch up.’ Treating the audience with respect, and treating them like the intelligent people that they are, was something that is very rare in film in general. It was especially rare in the early 1980’s.

One of the more persistent rumors of the age suggests that The Tower of All belonged to the great Mordenkainen and that he commissioned its clockwork infrastructure from the Modrons. As our heroes traverse this physics-defying building, the rumor gains more credence.
Many years ago, I did a heavy research dive into Mary Queen of Scots with an idea of trying to find a good story where I could make her a badass hero. It became clear pretty quickly that this was impossibly without a lot of bullshit. She just wasn’t a great role model. She was almost always on the run either literally or metaphorically, she was easily manipulated by men specifically, she was so obsessed with her lineage that she never put the right amount of energy into being a good leader in the job she already had, and she ended up dying when she wouldn’t stop obsessing about Elizabeth, who she never actually met in person. I decided there just wasn’t a story there – not with her as the protagonist.

After a whole month of scheduling and Star Wars shenanigans, we’re back with a new episode of Venture Bros! This week Bryan Dressel, Nick “Frasier” Friedemann, and Matt “Cheers” Dykes discuss the finale of season six. Or rather…the NON-finale, amirite? It’s good, but you could combine this and the following couple of episodes in season seven into one long episode. Anyway, thanks for your patience and enjoy!
