Venture Bros, Season 7 (2018)

Starring: Christopher McCulloch, James Urbaniak, Doc Hammer, Michael Sinterniklaas, Patrick Warburton,


Premise:
Season 7 has the Hank and Dean entering young adulthood and experience more of the trials and tribulations that go along with it. Rusty creates a teleportation device that despite being his greatest achievement has grave consequences. And the Monarch continues to work his way back to be a top level villain.

My Take:
The series remains one of my favorites for it's blend between originality and constant homage. Plus it's created a rich mythology all its own. This is full of it's trademark humor and over the top plots with a more than enough big reveal moments sprinkled in.

Metalocalypse, Season 4 (2012)

Starring: Tommy Blancha, Brendon Small, Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell


Premise:
A look at the most popular band in the world, Deathklok, and their daily adventures.

Season 4 has the band trying to complete their new album, which will drive the world's economy into positive numbers. We also learn about the origins secret society plotting against Deathklok and an ancient prophecy about the band.

My Take:
This show continues to be very entertaining. It uses the band to poke fun at celebritism, the government, and many other things in satirical and humorous ways. Plus the show normally gets incredibly gory at the end of each episode with fans being slaughtered.
After three seasons, we finally get a lot info revealed about why Deathklok is so important.

Favorite Episode:
"Dethvanity" - Murderface wins an award for being the most brutal looking man in music, which forces him to get plastic surgery.

Rating: So Good
