Firsties Episode 10 - End of Venture Bros Coverage
28/04/2015 Duration: 27minThank you for joining us for our last episode of Venture Bros coverage! This time, we cover The Trial of the Monarch, Return to Spider-Skull Island, and the Christmas special! As I state in the intro, there is a brief period of spoilery-talk regarding season 2, followed by a discussion about the Christmas episode, which is included on the Venture Bros DVD. If you would like to skip the spoilers but still hear us discuss the Christmas special, use these timecodes: 23:15 - Spoilers begin 24:56 - Christmas episode coverage Either way, know that the spoiler talk is clearly marked and warned within the podcast, so there's little danger in hearing too much, even if you're not referring to the timecodes. Thank you for listening, and we'll hopefully catch you all in a couple weeks for our next show!

Firsties Episode 9: Venture Bros - Are You There God? It's Me, Dean and Past Tense
19/04/2015 Duration: 27minWelcome to another episode of Firsties with Reba and Ross! This is our penultimate installment in our Venture Bros coverage: "Are You There God? It's me, Dean" and "Past Tense." We hope you enjoy! Check in next week for the end of our Venture Bros. coverage, as we discuss "The Trial of the Monarch" and "Return to Spider-Skull Island." We also may be discussing a bit of the Christmas special (in the "extras" on the DVD set), so check that out if you can. One final note: in this episode, I mention that we'll be referring to the season 2 premiere in the next episode. However, it appears that Netflix has now removed season 2 of The Venture Bros as well, so we'll try to talk about S1's finale without spoilers first. If we have time, we'll go into a special "spoiler" segment of the show at the very end.

I mixed them up because I'm a dumb American who's terrible with geography. Google Maps tells me that they're about an hour and a half away, though, so I could've been further off! Also, I say that Eva Mendes never shows up after 2 Fas

Firsties Episode 5: Venture Bros - Careers in Science and Mid-Life Chrysalis
24/03/2015 Duration: 27minThanks for listening to another episode of Firsties with Reba and Ross! In this episode, we cover two more episodes of The Venture Bros which really begin to flesh out its characters. A note on continuity here: the "correct" production order of episodes (the way that they are presented on the DVD) and the order that they were aired on Adult Swim (which Netflix uses) are very different. For the sake of this podcast, we are going with the correct, intended order. This means that the episodes covered this week are: Careers in Science (episode 3 on Netflix) Mid-Life Chrysalis (episode 9 on Netflix) Next week, we will be covering: Eeney, Meeney, Miney...Magic! (episode 6 on Netflix) The Incredible Mr. Brisby (episode 5 on Netflix) The complete listing of episodes, in the "correct" order, are: The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay Dia de Los Dangerous Careers in Science Mid-Life Chrysalis Eeney, Meeney, Miney...Magic The Incredible Mr. Brisby Tag Sale...You're It!

Firsties with Ross and Reba Episode 4: The Venture Bros
17/03/2015 Duration: 30minFirsties is back, with a new set of episodes centered around the first season of The Venture Bros.! If you'd like to watch along with us, this week we're covering the pilot and the first "official" episode of the series. On Netflix, this is as simple as just watching episodes 1 and 2. On the DVD set, you'll need to watch the pilot, "The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay" in "Special Features" (which I believe is on the last disc), then go and watch the first episode, Dia de Los Dangerous. Yes, it's a bit confusing. It should get easier next week. Thanks for listening!
