S4 Ep 45ORB 45: Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel
E<html><p>Season 4 opens with a weird one, as we wave bye to Brock and welcome in the Sergeant Hatred era. Brock is on the run from the OSI, planning his revenge against Hunter and Molotov, while Rusty deals with unwanted attention on his clone farms. And Dean? Well, Dean loves Hitler. It makes sense in the episode.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 44ORB 44: Season 3 Wrapup
E<html><p>This week we talk about Season 3 at large, a season of the Venture Bros. that largely concerned itself with the history of these characters and this world. It was uneven, but the highs were very high! We also read your responses to Season 3, and get ready for the rip-roarin' Season 4.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 43ORB 43: The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part 2)
E<html><p>Big changes are on the way, as Brock has been burned by the OSI and the Monarch has license to arch, and possibly kill, Dr. Venture. The resulting pileup of plots and schemes is messier than we'd like, but it sets us up for cool things as the Venture Bros. proves that it's willing to kill its own status quo.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 42ORB 42: The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part 1)
E<html><p>Join us on a high flying, globetrotting fight against international assassins, as we lurch towards the most consequential season finale so far. Brock has been burned by the OSI, and Molotov Cocktease has provided him with dossiers on the three themed assassins who are out to knock him off. So he must protect the Venture family while also trying to save himself, as doom descends on the Venture compound.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 41ORB 41: ORB
E<html><p>It's only going to be confusing this one time. Season 3 speeds to its conclusion with this stealth first part of the multi-part finale. It's a globetrotting mystery hunt, as Doc Hammer takes us along on a National Treasure adventure made up of his own fascinations. The Venture Family, their bodyguards, and the organizations that gave birth to the Guild and the OSI all revolve around one world altering MacGuffin, I mean artifact: the Orb. And Billy Quizboy's lifelong quest to crack the code starts the family toward ruin.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 40ORB 40: The Lepidopterists
E<html><p>Doe, Cardholder, Occupant, and Resident are reporting for duty! Satisfied Customer overslept. The Lepidopterists is J.J.'s first spotlight episode, as he grapples with understanding what it means that the Monarch is his new "arch". Some strange g-men are here to help him take the Monarch off the board, while the Monarch and his henchmen execute a plan of their own.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 39ORB 39: Now Museum, Now You Don't
E<html><p>You don't spend 43 years inside a Rusty Venture without developing a few emotional problems. In Jonas Jr.'s case, his outgoing and winning personality belies the fact that he's kind of a selfish dick. J.J. has opened the Jonas Venture Jr. Museum of Jonas Venture, and invited all the wrong people to the opening. And now everyone has to deal with the fallout.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 38ORB 38: Tears of a Sea Cow
E<html><p>Hate isn't just a game for the Monarch, he has to feel it. And he'll throw away his entire career if it means he can't arch Dr. Venture. So he shoots Dr. Dugong and sets out with the boys to mess up the Venture compound while Rusty is away, leaving only Hank, Dean, and Dermot to stop the petty, petty crimes.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 37ORB 37: What Goes Down Must Come Up
E<html><p>We've yet to see the true extent of Jonas Venture's bastardry, but this episode gives us some of our first peeks. The Venture Compound sits atop a massive tunnel complex where forgotten experiments have laid fallow, and it isn't until a drilling mishap that Rusty learns what's going on right beneath his feet. Can the Order of the Triad save him and Brock?</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 36ORB 36: Dr. Quymn, Medicine Woman
E<html><p>Here we have one of the more unfortunate episodes of the Venture Bros., where the family heads to the rain forest and meets one of Rusty's old acquaintances. What ensues is some really weird, scattered, and icky sex and gender stuff that's also just not very funny!</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 35ORB 35: The BUDDY System
E<html><p>Gwen Static joins us to talk about the disastrous results of Rusty trying to make a quick buck by inviting kids to the Venture Compound. The Venture Bros. takes place in a world where "boy adventurer" is a possible career path, and scores of kids are ready and willing to hand over money to attend a day camp run by their hero... even if those "kids" are Murderous Moppets helping their boss arch on the sly.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 34ORB 34: Home is Where the Hate Is
E<html><p>Jeremy Greer joins us to talk about the proper introduction of Sergeant Hatred and his unorthodox arching philosophy. He seems like a big dumb doofus, but there's more going on there, and he has a plan to make the Monarch's life hell by making Rusty's life heaven. And it all begins at one very lame house party.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 33ORB 33: The Invisible Hand of Fate
E<html><p>How many of the events in the Venture Bros. trace back to a gameshow cheating scandal? More than you'd think! Season 3 continues its exploration of backstories and origins by explaining how Billy Quizboy and Pete White met, fell from grace, and inadvertently created the Phantom Limb.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 32ORB 32: The Doctor is Sin
E<html><p>This episode is a series highlight that reintroduces us to the core feature of the show's main character... Rusty Venture is a failure and he's not a good person. While that's dark, there's plenty of levity to be had when Dr. Killinger shows up to revamp the Venture compound by revealing not only who moved the cheese, but what color their parachute was.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S3 Ep 31ORB 31: Shadowman 9: In the Cradle of Destiny
E<html><p>The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend face a trial of sorts in this episode that sets a theme for Season 3... exploring their past as villains, henchmen, and second-in-commands. We get to see the Monarch's first attempts at arching Dr. Venture, and learn why he hates Phantom Limb so much... outside of all of the obvious reasons.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 30ORB 30: Season Two Wrapup
E<html><p>Season 2 of the Venture Bros. has drawn to a close, with the Monarch married to Dr. Wife (nee Dr. Girlfriend, et al) and having thwarted the usurpation of the Guild by Phantom Limb. We talk about the highs and lows of the season, the DVD special features, and we read your responses.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 29ORB 29: Showdown at Cremation Creek (Part 2)
E<html><p>The finale for the finale shows us the aftermath of Phantom Limb's attack on the wedding between the Monarch and Doctor Girlfriend. Brock easily takes a commanding role among the henchmen... I mean, minions. Meanwhile Dean has dissociated and is wandering around an unrelated Neverending Story fantasy sequence that ultimately has disastrous consequences for the Cocoon.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 28ORB 28: Showdown at Cremation Creek (Part 1)
E<html><p>Season 2 draws to a close as the henchmen drunkenly abduct the Ventures as a wedding gift for the Monarch, who is tying the knot with Dr. Girlfriend. But Phantom Limb has some objections.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 27ORB 27: ¡Viva los Muertos!
E<html><p>Jinkies and or zoinks, it's groovy! This penultimate episode of the second season introduces us to the Groovy Gang, a parody of the cast of Scooby Doo that's all mixed up with famous killers and criminals from the counterculture. They stumble across the Venture Compound and hijinks ensue, while Rusty plays god and Brock has doubts about his path in life.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 26ORB 26: I Know Why the Caged Bird Kills
E<html><p>Diplomacy is the heart of one of the best episodes of this season. The Monarch has fallen into a slump, and it's up to Dr. Henry Killinger and his Magic Murder Bag to consult the archvillain back to the top of his game. Meanwhile, the boys are kidnapped by Myra, an obsessive former bodyguard who believes that she is their mother.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 25ORB 25: Guess Who's Coming to State Dinner?
E<html><p>In what is undoubtedly the worst episode of Season 2, the Ventures head to the White House for a ceremony honoring Bud Manstrong, who apparently heroically saved humanity while the space station Gargantua-1 crashed into Earth. While there, we get tired jokes about presidents, learn the metaphysics of Ghost Lincoln, and get misled about the potential for a Manchurian Candidate twist.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 24ORB 24: Fallen Arches
E<html><p>Dr. Orpheus is finally getting called up to the big leagues, but he needs to bring a team with him. Enter the Order of the Triad, composed of Dr. Orpheus, Jefferson Twilight the Blackula Hunter, and the Alchemist. As they search for an arch nemesis, an envious Rusty tries his best to center attention on himself and his useless Walking Eye.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 23ORB 23: Love Bheits
E<html><p>If we all stick together, we can get through this one. It's... not great. The Ventures crash land into Ünterland, the apocalyptic domain of Baron Ünderbheit. He mistakes Dean for a girl, attempts to marry him, and icky, mostly joke-free hijinks proceed until the credits roll.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 22ORB 22: Victor. Echo. November.
E<html><p>Autumn Greer joins us to talk about an episode that seems like it will be a coming-of-age tale for the Venture boys, but instead becomes a thirty date pileup as Phantom Limb and the Monarch vie for Dr. Girlfriend's affections, and Rusty is caught in the crossfire.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 21ORB 21: Twenty Years to Midnight
E<html><p>When Brock coincidentally finds a video taped message from Jonas Venture Sr., he sets in motion a globetrotting adventure to save the world. Unfortunately for Rusty, this means they have to ask for help from J.J. and Sally Impossible, who is still enamored with him. This episode is jam-packed with jokes and action-packed with... action.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 20ORB 20: Escape to the House of Mummies Part II
E<html><p>Will Hughes joins us for the most belligerent episode of ORB yet... as we discuss Escape to the House of Mummies Part 2. We're dropped in media res into Team Venture's attempt to use a time machine to stop an Osiris cult from doing something horrible. Once the team gets trapped, Dr. Venture wriggles his way out of the pyramid and promptly forgets about his boys, as he's roped into a science vs. magic contest with Dr. Orpheus.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 19ORB 19: Assassinanny 911
E<html><p>Zoe joins us to talk about the introduction of Hunter Gathers, Brock's mentor at the OSI. Brock is called away on a special mission, forcing him to leave the Venture family in the hands of a freelance agent... Molotov Cocktease. While Mol attempts to whip the family into shape in the hopes that Brock will leave them for the mercenary life, Brock ventures to the tropics to eliminate a rogue agent whose identity will surprise him.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 18ORB 18: Hate Floats
E<html><p>Hate Floats is an important episode because it sets up the main conflict of season 2, and establishes the Monarch as the second protagonist of the series. The Monarch, having just escaped from jail, sets about putting his operation back together and attempting to get Dr. Girlfriend back from the transparent arms of Phantom Limb. And it just so happens that Rusty and the boys get caught in the crossfire of a conflict that has nothing to do with them.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S2 Ep 17ORB 17: Powerless in the Face of Death
E<html><p>This season premiere brings us the first of many new status quos, but not the one you expect. The boys are dead and Rusty is adrift, while Dr. Orpheus is wracked with guilt over what happened. The Monarch is in prison, and Dr. Girlfriend has fled to the arms(?) of Phantom Limb. How do we proceed from here?</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 16ORB 16: Season One Wrapup
E<html><p>This week we conclude the first season of the show by reflecting back on the earliest, weirdest season of the Venture Bros. We also read your thoughts on S1, and talk about the special features on the DVD.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 15ORB 15: A Very Venture Christmas
E<html><p>Join us for a look back at a time when Krampus wasn't old news. During production of the first season of the Venture Bros., Jackson Publick had the idea that Adult Swim could do a big Christmas special with all of their shows. Unfortunately, that fell through, so we get this half-length Venture Christmas Special that features magic spells, a skeevy Pete White, and plutonium ending up where it shouldn't.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 14ORB 14: Return to Spider-Skull Island
E<html><p>Bad things happen when your body becomes uninhabitable. Rusty should have known that when he was popping all of those pills. An incident in the womb led to Rusty incubating his twin brother for 43 years, and JJ wants out. And Hank and Dean don't want a possible new brother running around, so they hit the road, with Dr. Orpheus in tow.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 13ORB 13: The Trial of the Monarch
E<html><p>When a butterfly flies too close to the sun, their buttery wings will melt. At least, they will if the Guild of Calamitous Intent sets you up. The Monarch is on trial for killing a cop, even though nobody can remember the night of the crime itself. This episode establishes a lot of things that will come to be important over the next season, by filling out Dr. Girlfriend's past and giving Phantom Limb a more prominent role in the goings-on.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 12ORB 12: Past Tense
E<html><p>Funerals are bad enough even if you don't have to deal with fembots. Rusty's old college friend, the robotics genius Mike Sorayama, has passed away. His funeral, though sparsely attended, reveals that all of the major characters knew each other in college, with pasts that are more interconnected than they seem. When Mike's trap is sprung, it's up to Hank, Dean, and the original Team Venture to mount a rescue effort.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 11ORB 11: Tag Sale... You're It!
E<html><p>Zack Handlen joins us to talk about the standout episode of season one of the Venture Bros., where Rusty holds an ill-advised yard sale attended by every unhinged villain and super-scientist who shouldn't have a death ray. Meanwhile, the Monarch's relationship with Dr. Girlfriend begins to deteriorate, while Hank makes his first foray into entrepreneurialism.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 10ORB 10: Are You There God? It's Me, Dean
E<html><p>This week we get acquainted with the Guild of Calamitous Intent, its stifling bureaucracy, and Rusty's Law. The Monarch is about ready to feed Team Venture to the dreaded candiru when Dean suffers an embarrassing medical incident. A timeout is called, the Monarch takes Hank and Brock hostage, and the fate of Dean's genitals is in the questionable hands of Conjectural Technologies.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 9ORB 9: Mid-Life Chrysalis
E<html><p>Things get literally Kafka-esque as the Monarch successfully turns Rusty into a caterpillar. And where is Brock in all of this? He's getting his license to kill renewed, with the help of the boys.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 8ORB 8: Ice Station... Impossible!
E<html><p>Jeremy Greer joins us to talk about the episode that introduces the Impossible family, and gives us our first hangout with Pete White and Billy Quizboy. Rusty is called to participate in a think tank being run out of Dr. Richard Impossible's north pole base, where he meets a family of very unfortunate Fantastic Four knockoffs. Meanwhile back at the base, a freak accident exposes Hank to a dangerous serum that only Dr. Impossible can cure.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 7ORB 7: Ghosts of the Sargasso
E<html><p>Rusty Venture's idea of living up to his father's legacy is... to scavenge his father's legacy. An experimental aircraft designed by Jonas tragically crashed into the sea, and Team Venture is on the way to dredge it up. Problem is, they didn't count on running into ghost pirates. Er, I'm sorry, "ghost" pirates.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 6ORB 6: Eeney, Meeney, Miney... Magic!
E<html><p>This week we're joined by our first guest, Gwen Static, who composed our theme song! She helps us talk about a very good episode that introduces a very good character: Dr. Byron Orpheus, a tenant who is renting space at the Venture compound to help defray some costs. Orpheus catches wind of some dark science Rusty is cooking up, while his daughter Triana catches the eye of a clueless Dean.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 5ORB 5: The Incredible Mr. Brisby
E<html><p>We'll be up front with you: this is not our favorite episode of the Venture Bros. Team Venture heads to Brisbyland at the request of the business magnate Roy Brisby, a stand-in for Walt Disney. Unfortunately, Brisby is a megalomaniac, and the boys get wrapped up in a paramilitary effort to thwart his landgrabbing ways.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

S1 Ep 4ORB 4: Home Insecurity
E<html><p>It's a two-villain pileup on this week's ORB! Baron Ünderbheit has sworn vengeance on Rusty Venture after he shirked his duties as a lab partner. This is complicated by the fact that Monarch has also sworn vengeance. And Brock is on sabbatical, dealing with the Six Million Dollar Man and his woodsy love interest. The odds are stacked against the boys, but at least they've got one piss-reeking panic room to keep them safe.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>

The Ventures head to Gargantua-1, a massive space station, to try and make the PROBLEM light turn off. Brock gets tied up in a love triangle between two weirdos, and the boys hunt down the Phantom Space Man.</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="http://jjarrett.work" target="_blank">Joshua Jarett</a> for our cover art, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/deepwhale" target="_blank">Gwen May</a> for our theme song, and <a href="https://twitter.com/braytonjc" target="_blank">Brayton Cameron</a> for being our announcer.</p></html>
