Venture Bros: A Venture Brothers Podcast

Bryan, Zombie Dog, Joel, and Ryan start a new season of Binge Buddies with Automatic Pig!  Over the next 5 weeks we will be discussing each of the films and then finish it up with a ranking episode!  We are so excited to dive into these crazy films and can't wait for you to hear it!

Your hosts Bryan, Matt, Joel and Ryan have a lot of work to do this week!  They have to wrap up and rank everything about the Friday the 13th franchise!  They rank the movies, the Jasons, the kills and so much more!  This whole series has been so much fun and the wrap-up is a very fond farewell to the franchise.  Be sure to tune in next week when we start talking Robocop in Automatic Pig!

Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Fence Post" Dykes, Joel "Tree Trimming Saw" Dewitte, and Ryan "Uber Machete" Lootens take on the most recent Friday the 13th film, the remake from 2009.  While this movie may have some "stupendous" moments here and there, it largely leaves the binge buddies rather disappointed.  But they have a blast taking it apart! 

Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie-Dog Sleeping Bag" Dykes, Joel "Sleeping Bags" Dewitte, and Ryan "Corkscrew" Lootens bring you the Christmas episode to end all Christmas episodes!  One where we mostly forgot to talk about Christmas at all!  But we do talk a lot about all the death and mayhem caused by two of the greatest slashers of all time going head to head!  This movie is far from flawless, but joy can be found in all the flaws, making this one hell of a good time!  Enjoy your break from the holiday and our last episode of 2023!  Taking a little break for the holidays and we will be back in January!

Your hosts Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog His Bare Hands" Dykes, Joel "Ice Pick" Dewitte, and Ryan "Axe" Lootens tackle the hard questions this week.Masterpiece or Train Wreck?A love letter to the franchise or a middle finger to the legacy?Is this an intentional comedy or an accidental tragedy?Do the Binge Buddies actually get to the answers on any of these questions?  Not really, but they have a ton of fun trying!!

Join your hosts Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog - Joachim Kroll" Dykes, Joel "Guiles De Reyes" Dewitte, and Ryan "Lady Blue Bird" Lootens as they take on one of the oddest Jason movies out there.  This movie has it all!  Weird demon slugs that must be puked into people's mouths? Yup!  Breaking fingers for payment? Yup! And everyone's favorite, excessive violence!  Jason Goes to Hell is no one's favorite Jaons movie (for the most part) but the Binge Buddies have a blast breaking it down!

Your hosts Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog-Andre Chicatilo" Dykes, Joel "Arthur Shawcross" Dewitte, and  Ryan "David Berkowitz" Lootens do their absolute best to find the good stuff in this slog of an underfunded sequel.  Yes this movie was amazing on paper, but due to budget and time it got stripped down into a frustratingly bland slasher.  Not to worry, it does still have a few moments to shine and the Buddies have a great time breaking it all down!

Hosts Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog - Jeffery Dahmer" Dykes, Joel "Aline Wurnoros" Dewitte, and Ryan "Harold Shipman" Lootens cover one of if not the best Friday the 13th movies, The New Blood.  Characters have development, the gore was next level (before the MPAA Ruined it) and it has the best-designed Jason by far.  This movie is an absolute blast and the buddies loved talking about it!

Your hosts Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Dennis Rader" Dykes, Joel "Albert Fish" Dewitte, and Ryan "Carl Panzram" Lootens take a dive into one of the goofiest and all-around best Friday the 13th films.  Its as much fun to talk about as it is to watch and the buddies have a blast!

Join Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog - unknown" Dykes, Ryan "Unknown" Lootens, and Joel "Pedro Lopez" Dewitte as they dive into the questionable decisions of Friday the 13th part 5!  Jason's out and a new lumbering murderer is picking up the slack!   The Binge Buddies have a hell of a time trying to find the good parts in this one, but they have a blast on the journey!

Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog - Myra Hindly " Dykes, Joel "Fred West " Dewitte, Ryan "Ian Brady" Lootens have a blast with this horror classic.  Some of the best kills, best Jason, best special effects, all around just an amazing horror flick!  While the attempt at ending the franchise was a fool's errand, the making of an all-around fantastic movie was not!

Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie-Dog Richard Ramirez" Dykes, Joel "Ted Bundy" Dewitte, and Ryan "Gary Ridgeway" Lootens as they take on part 3 of the Friday the 13th series.  This one is a doozy folks.  The stuff that works, works incredibly well, then we get the rest.   There are some questionable characters, bad edits, and so much stuff being pointed at the screen you can't help but laugh.  The movie might be lame, but the Binge Buddies have an absolute blast tearing it down!  

Join Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Ed Gien" Dykes, Joel "Jeffery Dahmer" Dewitte, and Ryan "HH Holmes" Lootens  as they dive into the immediate follow-up to the classic original.  The Binge Buddies are surprised to find that this one not only holds up, but actually surpasses the original film!

Join Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog- Jack the Ripper" Dykes, Joel "Zodiac Killer" Dewitte,  and Ryan "John Wayne Gacy" Lootens as they dive into the 1980 classic slasher Friday the 13th!  Far from the first time its been discussed on this network, not even the first time it's been discussed on this channel!  But there's always something going on in Camp Crystal Lake and the Binge Buddies have a blast breaking it down!  Buckle up, this is going to be an awesome series!

Join Bryan Dresse, Matt "Zombie Dog" Dykes, Joel Dewitte, and Ryan Lootens on the final wrap up of the John Wick Franchise.  They rank, favorite dog, best murder weapons, best action sequences and more!!  We might not have all agreed on the over all quality of this franchise, but we definitely agree that it was a blast to talk about!

Join host Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog- Cheddar" Dykes,  Ryan "Wishbone" Lootens, and Joel "Hooch" DeWitte as they break down the end... right?.... of the John Wick franchise!  This near-flawless finale keeps the action fresh and the drama real.  The Binge Buddies have a blast discussing potentially the best "Part 4" of film history.

Join host Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog- All of the Dalmations" Dykes,  Ryan "Comet" Lootens, and Joel "Fly" DeWitte as they avoid getting kicked in the face by a horse.  This movie takes the franchise in a bold, exact same direction, but keeps the Binge Buddies more than entertained.  Few movies have impressed us more while still not being perfect.  When the armor is this pretty who cares if there are a few cracks!?! 

Join host Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog- Buddy" Dykes,  Ryan "Brusier" Lootens, and Joel "Slink" DeWitte as they break down the questionable sequel to John Wick.  This action-packed follow-up keeps the Binge Buddies on guard as they struggle with where this movie went right, and where it went a little wrong.  But the question remains by the end, Did Ruby Rose win over Ryan?  Spoilers... no.

Join host Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog- Hercules" Dykes,  Ryan "Scooby-Doo" Lootens, and Joel "Wilson the Boxer" DeWitte as they break down the incredible original John Wick.  This action-packed movie which is somehow both hilarious and heartbreaking, keeps the Binge Buddies on their toes as they struggle with the questions like, is the movie great?  Or is the movie Amazing?  But the question remains by the end, Did John Wick need a sequel?

Welcome to the finale of "Toretto's Shitty Tuna Sandwich," our in-depth look through the Fast and Furious franchise.
