PART II
Favorite Things
---

BRYAN:

Favorite Moment  - Not today Rusty, Not today… Favorite moment for the story, the way its told, and its one of the few “good dad” moments he has.  You baby burped on your speed suit, these things are 90% polyester you can clean a little fear vomit with a wet nap.

Favorite Pop Culture Reference - 6 million dollar man - Steve Summers in love with Sasquatch

Funniest Moment - Season 7 ep 2, Red death killing the whole room, “room is secure”  How long do we have till the regain consciousness… um…

Favorite Quote - Red Dragoon “We haven’t been outside in 30 years, I’m old and I’m afraid of everything. I’m afraid the streets are over run with teenage gangs! Teenagers are CRUEL and will undoubtedly taunt us, because our trousers are not in style anymore.

Favorite Character - Shelia (Dr Girlfriend, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, Lady Au Pair)

Favorite Actor - Christopher McCulloch

Most Venture Bro-y moment (as in a moment or joke that wouldn’t work anywhere else) - Colonel Gentlemen - Yawn’s Here’s something, Rodney killed a baby once.

GRAHAM:

Favorite Moment - Sock/movie ticket moment with Red Death/21 and Midnight Movie Massacre retold by Red Death

Favorite Pop Culture Reference - Acid Burn and Zero Cool (Hackers) “The Venture Bros. & The Curse of the Haunted Problem”

Funniest Moment - Arrears in Science “wrap-up” by Sgt. Hatred and Dean

Favorite Quote - “Arrears in Science”

• H-Hey, what’s the haps?
• D-Dr. O held a seance to un-haunt our house. And then Pop found Grandpa in the P.R.O.B.lem light
• H-Woah was his corpse all rotten and stuff?
• D-No he was still alive.
• H-What?! I want to go meet Grandpa!
• D-It’s only his head though
• H-Okay that gives me pause. Still, Zombie Grandpa Head!
• Sgt. H-It ain’t safe Hank, your Grandpa thought he was your house and tried to up and runaway with all of us inside.
• D-And then blue robot came down from the sky in his magic car and made Grandpa stop. And these guys are all mad at blue robot because…
• H-Okay, okay, stop…that’s kind of a lot.

Favorite Character - Red Death

Favorite Actor - Christopher McCulloch

Most Venture Bro-y moment (as in a moment or joke that wouldn’t work anywhere else) - “Arrears in Science” -  “wrap-up” by Sgt. Hatred and Dean

MATT:

Favourite Moment – The bit in A Party For Tarzan where Dr Mrs The Monarch fires the bullet at Rusty. The way it is shot, the slow motion with the voice over, it’s such a beautiful sequence and has serious suspense in the build up to her shooting the rifle.

Favourite Pop Culture Moment – The Rusty Venture cartoon opening being a Jonny Quest knock off and then ending in “Sponsored by Smoking” which I’m sure is a slight reference to how cigarette adverts were in old shows and you even had The Flintstones advertising smoking

Funniest moment – Red Death in Dummy Corp, “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh hi! The room is secure.” “How long do we have until they regain consciousness?” “Uhhhhhh…”

Favourite quote – “READY THE ACID MAGNET!”

Favourite character – I have to pick one?! I’ll narrow it down to three, The Monarch, Red Death and Hunter

Favourite actor – Christopher McCulloch, the number of characters he voices and they all have such a different sound to them. Hank, The Monarch, Henry Killinger, Hunter Gathers, Dr Z, Hell even the Grand Galactic Inquisitor!

Most Venture Bro-y moment – The clone army being slaughtered by The Monarch’s Deathshead Panoply, the combination of the ridiculousness of the design of the Deathshead Panoply alongside the clone army being cut down and Dean’s shriek and saying “Why do I feel like I’m the one who is dying?” I can’t imagine any other series doing that.

BROK:

Favorite Moment - Season 2 opening, Everybody’s Free

Favorite Pop Culture Reference - Jonas Venture Sr. being used to out the horrible racism of the old James Bond movies

Funniest Moment - Naked Brock in Victor Echo November, “To prey on their fear, move like an animal, feel the kill.”

Favorite Quote - “Smurfs lay eggs.”

Favorite Character - Brock

Favorite Actor -  James Urbaniak

Most Venture Bro-y Moment - Rusty cleaning the walking eye to steal arches away from Dr. O.

If there's one constant in the ATH Network, it's that at some point Bryan and Jon will get together to talk about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and this week on the now renamed Casual Cartoons is no different. The two episodes up for discussion are Season One's "Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X" and Season Three's "Leatherhead Meets The Rat King." One episode has the lore, and the other has two of the most fun villains of the show going head to head. Come join our heroes in a half shell for a fun discussion that will inevitably veer off into all the other iterations of the IP. Well, except maybe the latest series...

We have a quick update on the status of Casual Cartoons, as well as plans to record the Venture Bros finale that was promised all that time ago. There's also talk about the upcoming Frisky Dingo podcast and whether or not Matt will be one of the cohosts. He will. Maybe? For sure.

As for the rest of today's episode: Kubo and the Two Strings was another one of those Laika films that was a bit overlooked at the box office, which is a shame. It's a marvelous piece of animation with a great story and some heavy emotion. Cheers.

This week on Corona Cartoons Bryan is joined by Alex Orona from Super GG Radio and friend Katherine Cliff to discuss the the Macaulay Culkin movie The Pagemaster. If you've ever seen those posters in the library with celebrities that say "READ," this movie is essentially that. Come for the Macaulay Culkin trivia, stay for the fun animated film that has a love for film and that really wants kids to read.

Note: Bryan also gives some updates about the show at the top of the episode and what to expect before the upcoming Frisky Dingo season.

This week on Corona Cartoons we're discussing the Don Bluth film The Secret of NIMH, which marks his departure from Disney and the beginning of quite the interesting pivot in his filmography. If the name doesn't sound familiar to you, the films might. From here he went on to do An American Tail, Land Before Time, Rock-A-Doodle, as well as the video games Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. This movie is also maybe linked to our love of rats in general. A great episode and a fun discussion. We also give an update to the status of Corona Cartoons and the upcoming Frisky Dingo podcast.

Bryan's life is slowly returning to normal, but still no new episode of Corona Cartoons this week.  We bring to you in its place, After the Hype's episode on the totally insane Batman Ninja!  Enjoy!  Regular episodes to return next week!
