‘Venture Bros. Season 5′ Confirmed

Posted: 26 Dec 2010 11:40 AM PST

Venture Bros.

A fifth season of Venture Bros. will indeed happen, confirmed show creator Jackson Publick on his blog.

Another season of the Adult Swim hit show seemed likely and was hinted in the end credits of last season's finale.

Unfortunately, there aren't many details at this point, but then again this is a show where spoilers never really mean much compared to the humor it brings.

"P.S. One last Christmas gift: I promised "news" the last time I was here. And though I'm not at liberty to disclose the full details just yet, I am happy to at least be able to tell you that we were not lying in the end credits of our season finale: The Venture Bros. will indeed return. More on that later... Happy Holidays!" [...]

DVD Review: Best Worst Movie

Best Worse Movie DVD

Best Worst Movie
DVD
Director Michael Stephenson
Starring George Hardy, Michael Stephenson, Darren Ewing
New Video Group
Release Date: November 16, 2010

Imagine, somewhere out there in the United States of America, there is a video store that actually has a section called "Holy Fucking Shit." It must take a very special movie to end up in that particular section, and it must take a very special audience to embrace that movie. The new documentary Best Worst Movie is about such a film.

Meet George Hardy. He's a dentist living and working in the small town of Alexander City, Alabama. George is a really nice guy. Everyone loves the man and it's not hard to see why. George approaches everything he does, from giving one of his patients a filling to playing a rollerblading tooth fairy in the town's annual Christmas parade, with an indomitable spirit and a zest for life. Give him a smile and a howdy and the man will be your friend for life. It's hard to not like George Hardy. The mayor of Alexander City greets him with a hug, and even the guy's ex-wife has not a single bad word to say about him. But if you bring up the one moment of notoriety in the life of George Hardy, that one time he decided to indulge his youthful passion for acting by taking the lead in a little-known horror flick that was filmed quietly in the town of Morgan, Utah, not far away from where an independent film revolution was brewing at the Sundance Film Festival, then suddenly everything gets awkward. The reason is because the movie George starred in had charted a two-decade journey from reviled exploitation toss-off to beloved cult phenomenon. The movie in question is Troll 2 and Best Worst Movie (now available on DVD after a limited theatrical run) tells the story of how it all happened and how this extraordinary turn of events came to affect the lives of nearly all involved, primarily George Hardy [...]
