This week on the podcast Bryan Dressl, Nick "The Human Eraser" Friedemann, and Matt "He Hate Me" Dykes discuss "Bot Seeks Bot" from season five. But first, Bryan and Nick attempt to explain the XFL to Matt. It's a jam-packed episode before we even get to the episode.

FINALLY! HI! Welcome to the third time this thing has been recorded. Bryan Dressel, Nick Friedemann, Matt Dykes dive into the very cursed episode of Spanakopita and talk about whether or not it holds up on the third viewing in a row. Lot of good stuff here, and not a single computer crash so yay! INTRO MUSIC COURTESY Bradley David Parsons inspired by JG Thrilwell RESEARCH COURTESY Brok Holliday

Due to technical difficulties YET AGAIN, Spanakopita isn't happening this week. In the meantime, we wanted to share another podcast that's on our network that we think you should check out. It's called Sam Wise and it's an advice podcast that uses the Lord of the Rings: Extended Editions to answer any and all questions in life. Host Samantha Garrison expertly uses the holy texts of Peter Jackson to solve all of your problems, and we mean ALL OF THEM. Enjoy and we'll work to get Spanakopita to yo...

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel and Nick "Slugabed" Friedemann have lost a co-host and gained another. Matt "Cad" Dykes joins the party while Graham is away. Together, they talk about the next episode of season five: SPHINX Rising. A fun episode, but not without some tension between SPHINX plot and the Monarch plot.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Graham "The Question" Mason, and Nick "Namor" (He said "Aquaman, but angrier" twice) Friedemann talk about the penultimate episode of the season, which is more lore-heavy than laugh-out-loud funny. Still, a very fun episode that pays off on rewatch. INTRO MUSIC COURTESY Bradley David Parsons inspired by JG Thrilwell RESEARCH COURTESY Brok Holliday

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Graham "Superman" Mason, and Nick "The Huntress" Friedemann talk Assisted Suicide, which is the name of the next episode of the show and not the actual topic of discussion. Ahh, jokes. It's like the show gave us a grande in a venti cup but filled it up just a little bit more.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "Superman" Friedemann, and Matt "Manchester Black" Dykes talk "Bright Lights, Dean City" the brother episode to last week's episode. Short review: Bryan is not a huge fan of it. He just "likes it" like Nick "liked" last week's episode. At least there are some great recurring gags to make things better.

This week on the show Bryan Dressel, Nick "Starman" Friedemann, and Matt "Constantine" Dykes talk one of Graham's favorite episodes, which is unfortunate timing as Graham couldn't make it. Darn those jobs! Anyway, this is probably one of the best episodes of the season, or at least a decent episode if you're Nick. Darn that hat!

This week on the show Bryan Dressel, Nick "Superboy" Friedemann, and Graham "Merc" Mason discuss this strangely forgettable episode that worked in some areas but not others. It's certainly a weird one, carrying over elements from last week's episode but still being very much a monster of the week. Your mileage will vary.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "I'm A Fucking Asshole" Friedemann, and Graham "Sue Storm" Mason talk Pomp & Circuitry, the episode that heralds in the great back half of the season. Come for the Ventures, stay for the co-hosts driving Bryan bonkers with their exquisite comic book knowledge.

This week Bryan Dressel, Nick "Batman" Friedemann, and Graham "Mr. Terrific" Mason get into the back-half of the season with an episode that's got some problems. But hey, it's got a Conjecture Cycle...so yay? INTRO MUSIC COURTESY Bradley David Parsons inspired by JG Thrilwell RESEARCH COURTESY Brok Holliday

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "Dr. Manhattan" Friedemann, and Graham "Silk Spectre 2" Mason discuss the next episode of season four, which has some great moments but also feels like "we want to be done with the front half of this season."

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "The Read Death" Friedemann, and Graham "Harley Quinn" Mason talk The Better Man, a super fun (and for some people forgettable but still very fun) Orpheus-centric episode.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "Clayface" Friedemann, and Graham "The Whizzer" Mason do a little "Self-Medication;" or rather, they talk about the episode called "Self-Medication." It's a solid middle-of-the-road episode, unless you're Graham, in which case it's not anything special.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "The Hulk" Friedemann, and Graham "Artemis" Mason talk The Revenge Society, one of Bryan's favorite episodes of the show and his favorite of the season. It features a certain two-headed quote machine that is an absolute delight. Catch this pod as soon as you can!

This week on the show Bryan Dressel, Nick "Wally West's The Flash" Friedemann, and Graham "Tim Drake's Robin" Mason talk Return to Malice, a fun episode with a lot of moving parts. There's the re-imagined 21 in search of 24's killer, Monarch's anaphylactic face troubles, Sgt. Hatred's inability to prevent the boys from getting kidnapped and witnessing Princess Tinyfeet in S&M play with Private Schwa, and Dr. Venture reminiscing with Dr. Mrs. the Monarch about the inhabitants of Malice.

This week on the episode Bryan Dressel, Nick "Nightwing" Friedemann, and Graham "Nebula" Mason talk about the "most hated" episode of season four and why it just doesn't click like the others. There's continuity in that they use characters from the show, but it just doesn't really fit. You know, like a Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror episode.

This week on the glorious Venture Bros: A Venture Brothers Podcast Bryan Dressel, Nick "The Penguin" Friedemann, and Graham "Stargirl" Mason talk about HANDSOME RANSOM!! We're introduced to Captain Sunshine and his arc with Hank, which in true Venture Bros fashion approaches that "offensive" line, and does a little jig on it. A very fun episode whose A-story and B-story don't mesh nearly as well as they should. INTRO MUSIC COURTESY Bradley David Parsons inspired by JG Thrilwell RESEARCH COURTESY...

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Nicholas "pine fruit" Friedemann, and Mr. Graham "Strawberry" Mason talk about The Lepidopterists, the title of which is tougher to say than you might imagine. It's also weirdly placed within the season given Tears of a Sea Cow and Now Museum - Now You Don't. Still a super fun episode!

This week on Venture Bros Bryan Dressel, Nick "A Whole Bushel of Grapes" Friedemann, and Graham "Raspberry" Mason talk about "Now Museum – Now You Don't!" a fun little episode jammed in the middle of a two-parter.
