Rilo and Garden talk a lot about the actor Misha Collins and the act of eating butt. Like literally eating peoples butts. And also look at the abrupt end to season six. I guess “Red Means Stop”.

Ring in the New Year with your pals Rilo and Garden as they watch and commentate on The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay, other wise known as the series pilot.

Garden and Rilo dunk on Andy Warhol, discuss Ninja Cafés and disgusting canals in Brooklyn. Seems like “It Happening One Night”.

Rilo and Garden finish off season five with a wallop as they discuss The Monarch’s nifty nifty little listy, Colonel Gentleman’s fascination with cat puppets vs. live action cats, and eulogize the first member of Original Team Venture to die. Pour one out for those we lost in “The Devil’s Grip”.

Garden and Rilo talk funeral wishes, robots needing love, various forms of torture and people no longer being shadowy silhouettes on massive CRT monitors. Something, something, “Bot Seeks Bot”.

Rilo and Garden discuss burner phones, interactive toys and red flags that just keep getting redder. Are you one of “Momma’s Boys”?

Rilo and Garden talk college degrees, robots and vampires. Speaking of Vampires, have we introduced you to “The Silent Partners”?

On this introductory episode of Villains Of Euphoria, Garden (26) sits down with her father (59) for a nice heart to heart about what it was like seeing Venture Bros on television for the first time, writing compelling stories, how animated television has changed since he was a child, and the animation of his childrens' youth. While drinking quite a bit of wine.

Intro/Outro Music: Villain Of Euphoria performed by The Faqua Brothers, circa 1978

Villains of Euphoria, presented by The Guild Of Calamitous Podcasts, is a more introspective look at the history of animation, storytelling, the changes to the classic Saturday Morning Cartoon, looked at by a girl and her dad as they work their way through circa 1965-1975 television, the programming of Garden's youth, and adult animation.

Rilo and Garden discuss the inner workings of their minds, how sad Rusty’s whole life has been and secret super powers. I think we all need therapy now after “Assisted Suicide”.

Garden and Rilo discuss big city dreams, musical theatre and unfortunate superhero anatomy. Also Rilo goes on a long rant about how dumb ‘Starlight Express’ is just in principle, let alone execution. In New York, it’s “Bright Lights, Dean City”.

Rilo and Garden discuss the world of Noir films, slow speed chases and how some questions are better left unanswered. In these parts, if you need something done, “Everybody Comes to Hank’s”.

Garden and Rilo discuss Greek Gods, gross strip clubs, voice modifying masks and the deliciousness of juice boxes. “Any Which Way But Zeus”, “Every Which Way But Zeus”...it’s one those.

What do Mariachi Bands, the Texas winter storm and Venture Bros. have in common? Actually, more than you’d expect. Rilo spoke with Bryan Hlavinka, the Venturoo behind the plan to send mariachis to a blundering senator’s house about what it’s like to go viral, how he came up with his genius plan and, of course, the Venture Bros.

Rilo and Garden dive head first into the second half of season four, talking about pressing issues such as gum eating, folks who love their vehicles a little too much and the trope of shrinking down to go travel inside of someone’s body! We’re about to witness a battle for the ages, “The Diving Bell vs. The Butter-Glider”!

Garden and Rilo chat about the art of seduction, genetic sewers and illegal at home brain surgery. It’s time we all learn who is “The Better Man”.

Garden and Rilo dish about illegal surgeries, famous musicians and coffee mugs. The “Revenge Society” is officially in business.

Garden and Rilo talk cryptids, the grieving process and nasty allergic reactions. This episode took FOREVER to actually record, I can’t come up with something witty using the name, it’s “Return to Malice”.

Garden and Rilo talk cults, progressive rock and the problem with cloning your children multiple times! ’Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep. To sleep – “Perchance to Dean”

Garden and Rilo talk about mechapilars controlled by achondroplastic dwarves playing recorders, bad sunburns and news! That sure is a “Handsome Ransom”!

Rilo and Garden discuss chemistry mishaps, a gross of meat boys and say goodbye to 2020 (and a dearly beloved character) with the last proper Guild episode of this year and this season! It’s “The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part II)”! BOOM YUMMY!

Rilo and Garden discuss Gary Busey, positive LGBTQ+ representation in the Ventureverse and the problem of cosplaying women with deep v neck lines. I’ve heard it said “The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part One)”

Rilo and Garden talk conspiracy theories, trading card games and both the houses that coke built. It’s always been there, Operation Rusty’s Blanket, “ORB”.

Rilo and Garden discuss robot animes, tropes about characters who refuse to die and how, when in doubt, the AstroBase writes for duos. Sometimes, when you have a butterfly problem, you gotta call “The Lepidopterists”.
