The Venture Bros. Live In New Movie….We Hope

The Venture Bros. Live In New Movie….We Hope

, , , 12

Fans of the Adult Swim TV series The Venture Bros (which is all of you, I’m assuming) watched in horror and extreme nervousness as David Zaslav assumed the Emperor’s Chair at Warner Bros this past summer and started cancelling every animated project he could find. “If he touches The Venture Bros, I swear…” was a frequent comment I saw online. Of course, The Venture Bros. had already been cancelled, and not by Dave — it was AT&T who decided to cancel the show, during their brief period of ownership where they basically ran up a huge bill, partied, and left the mess for someone else to clean up. Despite all this, the management as Adult Swim still believed in The Venture Bros and managed to talk the higher-ups into approving a feature film to tie up all danging plot points from the last season finale. This production had to survive a lot, but it did, and we can now breathe a sigh of relief as we look at ACTUAL FOOTAGE

My Adventures With Superman Coming To Adult Swim

My Adventures With Superman Coming To Adult Swim

, , , , , 14

Two years ago, back when Warner Bros’ prospects were a bit sunnier, the studio announced a range of superhero-based cartoons, such as Batman: Caped Crusader and My Adventures With Superman. Then Zaslav came in and massacred the whole business. Caped Crusader managed to live thanks to a deal with Amazon Prime, but no one heard anything about the Superman cartoon since, and most people assumed it’d been shut down. Guess not — here’s footage of it, with a promise of an imminent release. At the time of announcement it also wasn’t known where the cartoon was meant to wind up. The general assumption was either HBO Max or Cartoon Network, in a deal where it’d appear on one and then the other later. The fact that it’s Adult Swim getting this is a bit of a surprise. From the surface, it doesn’t look very “adult.” There’s already a Superman show on the air that focuses on his later years with Lois Lane raising teen boys. This one approaches the story

Don’t Miss Tartakovsky’s Latest, Unicorn Warriors Eternal

Don’t Miss Tartakovsky’s Latest, Unicorn Warriors Eternal

, , 15

Animation director Genndy Tartakovsky is the creator of a lot of cool things; Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Sym-Bionic Titan and most recently Primal — but he’s had another project on his plate for some time that barely anyone has known anything about. Today Adult Swim finally gave us a peek at the thing: a 10-episode miniseries called Unicorn Warriors Eternal. The fact that it’s AS airing this is a bit of a curveball; from the few sketches that have been released and the kid-friendly designs within (not to mention the name, which would have fit at home next to Ben 10 or Generator Rex), we thought Unicorn was meant to be a Cartoon Network show. But there must be some adult elements we don’t see yet. Can’t possibly be bloodier than Primal anyway. Unicorn is the story of three heroes who are reincarnated every era to fight an ancient evil that resurfaces periodically. And just like them, the show is older than it looks and has been thrown around many

Primal concluded its second season with a bang last weekend, but since there aren’t any more cavemen or dinosaurs, that leaves Rick And Morty the lone attraction of Adult Swim this week. They won’t be solitary for long, however…AS’s latest original anime, Housing Complex C, debuts in a week or two. Just like last week, Adult Swim refuses to give any real hints about what we’re getting from Rick And Morty this Sunday. They only provided one sentence, again with “broh” in it. so that just leaves us to decipher the teaser they’ve placed online… Fortunately this preview is a lot more leading than last week’s was. Beth can’t sleep, and when Jerry begins mumbling in HIS sleep she has to go downstairs to the couch….and that’s when she discovers her dad, moving around on his own. Rick is a sleepwalker? Of his own free will, it turns out….he’s got a gadget that programs a “night person” to do tasks unconsciously that he doesn’t want to take care of himself.

Rick And Morty Face Cthulhu In Oni Press’s Latest

Rick and Morty vs. Cthulhu seems like an idea whose time has come. Or rather, an idea that’s been teased as long as the show has existed. The final shot of the opening sequence in EVERY episode is Rick, Morty and Summer speeding away in a spaceship, being chased by Lovecraft’s most famous monster, who then swallows the screen. Like that box of “Time Travel Stuff,” it seems Cthulhu is a thing the show will forever tease but never actually do…which means it’s up to the comics. Oni Press, which has printed Rick and Morty comics practically since the series was an infant, has announced their latest will take the evil genius and his reluctant grandson in direct confrontation with the famed squidlike monster. Rick And Morty Vs. Cthulhu will launch the first of four issues this holiday season, written by Jim Zub and drawn by Troy Little (who previously collaborated on Rick and Morty’s crossover with Dungeons & Dragons). “… If you are reading this, I’ve already succumbed to

Did you see last week’s Primal? Did you see the last few Primals? If not, why not? The season finale is tonight, but it’ll make little sense unless you’ve seen the last few. And it’s not too late for that — they’re streamable anywhere. Don’t miss such a cool show. The back half of this season has told one continuous story, and it’s wrapping up…there’s only one immediate threat left, but it’s a big one. The Viking chieftain from an earlier episode is on a mission of revenge, transformed by a god of the underworld into a gigantic lava man! We have absolutely no idea how Spear and Fang have any hope of confronting this guy — they can’t even touch him. The preview below provides no hints either, instead revealing a bit of Mira’s backstory (which is still interesting). Primal airs tonight, Thursday, September 15 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12

Last week’s episode of Primal was too short. The back half of this season seems to be telling one complete story, with caveman Spear and dinosaur Fang in the clutches of a cruel queen who she orders to help her conquer other civilizations, or if they’re not worth conquering, to simply beat them down. It doesn’t matter if the opposing forces want peace or war — SHE wants war and that’s the end of it. And while Spear and Fang are dealing with HER, there’s the impending matter of the Viking chieftain out for revenge, who will catch up with them eventually. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, September 8 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And it will be on HBO Max the next day, as far as we know. Then, this Sunday at 11 PM, check out a brand-new Rick And Morty called “Rick: A Mort Well Lived.” The titles

This is the big one…this week marks the return of what’s currently THE show on Adult Swim. And yes, it’s this weekend. By now you may have grown accustomed to waiting a year and a half (or longer) for new seasons of Rick And Morty to show up, but according to the staff, they’ve streamlined the process so that a new season each year is now a guarantee. Thus the Season Six premiere of Rick And Morty will occur precisely one year from where it last aired a new episode: September 4, 2022 at midnight. So what have we got? This episode is called “Solaricks!” and exact details about it haven’t been given. AS provided a generic season encapsulation instead: “It’s season six and Rick and Morty are back! Pick up where we left them, worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch

This is one of the better weekends to be tuning into Adult Swim: a new episode of Primal tonight plus on Sunday, double the birdness with a one-hour Tuca & Bertie season finale. Last week on Primal, Fang (the dinosaur) actually laid some eggs! Given what kind of brutal show this is we don’t expect all of them to hatch, nor the offspring to survive for long if they do. But Spear (the caveman) has his own problems to worry about…those vikings he offended (by killing most of them) worship a powerful figure that may come after him now. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 25 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And it will be on HBO Max the next day…we think. Then on Sunday don’t miss Tuca & Bertie (really, really don’t miss it, because it needs the ratings to appease an overlord far more fickle than the one

We had no idea if Primal would be back this week and it……..IS back! We’re forging ahead with Episode 6; there will not be a break in the middle like Season 1 had. It would have made for a strange break anyway — last week’s episode (which Genndy wouldn’t allow a preview for) was quite a departure, focusing on four British men in the 1890s fending off an escaped asylum patient. No, really — go watch the episode if you don’t believe us. We’re having a hard time believing it ourselves. But Spear and Fang are back this week and that Viking chief who vowed vengeance on them will be back as well. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 18 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And of course it will be on HBO Max the next day (but, ah, don’t take anything on HBO Max for granted anymore). Then later,

This week’s Adult Swim premieres are the same deal as the last few weeks — Primal on Thursday (AKA today), Tuca & Bertie on Sunday. We have no idea if tonight’s episode of Primal is the midseason finale. The previous two times the show has run, it’s been in five-episode bites with a year or so between them. This is the fifth episode, but AS hasn’t used the words “season finale” or “midseason finale” or anything, so we have no idea if there’s more Primal next week or a repeat. What we do know is….nothing, because we can’t see it. Literally, AS can’t show anything from tonight’s episode because their contract with Genndy gives him control over what appears in the promos. (That must be a nice contract to have!) And apparently anything would be a big spoiler. The show left off with what had to be the most violent thing AS has ever aired with Spear and Fang at war against an entire Viking clan. They managed to win,

As we stare down the barrel of doom in regards to Adult Swim and everything else under the Warner Bros umbrella, let’s take the time to appreciate what we have, while we have it. And what we have is darn good: new episodes of Primal and Tuca & Bertie. The new Primal episode premieres tonight at midnight. Even if it survives the Purge unscathed, Primal seasons are super-short, divided in half and served up five episodes apiece. We’re on Episode 4 this week, if you haven’t been counting. And as with the previous weeks, AS did not provide an episode description for what happens tonight, but there IS a video clip. The events of tonight’s episode directly follow last week’s episode, and Spear’s attempts to rescue his new friend Mira from a clan of Viking warriors called the Scorpions. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 4 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM
