The Venture Bros. 20th Anniv: Publick Shares How Brock Samson's Doing

In honor of the 20th anniversary of The Venture Bros., Jackson Publick shared a look at how Brock Samson started & previewed how he's doing.

Earlier this week, we received a very promising update from Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer regarding how things were going on the upcoming series-ending long-form special/film take on The Venture Bros. But before we look back at that, we have another look at what's to come, courtesy of series creator Publick. And if it were going to be shared on any day, today would be that day. Because on February 16, 2003, a pilot order was given by Adult Swim, Cartoon Network's influential late-night programming block. And from there, animation history was made. "How it started / How it's going… Happy 20th anniversary, Venturoos!" Publick wrote in a tweet that included a look at an early take on Brock Samson (Patrick Warburton) alongside what looks to be what we can expect from Brock soon.

Here's a look at Publick's tweet from earlier today, followed by a look back at Publick & Hammer's previous updates:

"Sound mix for the mighty Venture Bros. super-special," Publick wrote as the caption to their post from earlier in the week, which also included a look at the board as well as a scene of a city skyline – here it is:

"Working on the title sequence! QUESTION: What kinda special features would you want for the DVD release of the "Movie"?" Hammer asked in the caption to their Instagram post – check it out below:

The long-form special/film focuses on Doc's latest invention and if it will either bankrupt the Ventures or launch them to new heights. Meanwhile, Hank searches for himself, Dean searches for Hank, The Monarch searches for answers, and a mysterious woman from their pasts threatens to bring their entire world crashing down on them. Here's a look back at James Urbaniak's (aka Dr. Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture) tweet just before the end of 2021 confirming that he had wrapped recording (along with a look at the Skype session he was having with Publick and a half-peek at the script):

"Yes, so I've already recorded. At this point, I'd even be at a loss because sometimes you go and you record your material, so as far as the whole concept of this movie that they just did, I would not do a good job describing it right now. So we're just gonna have to wait and see. I'm glad we got to do it. There are a lot of disappointed fans that this is it. 'The Venture Bros.' has been a long, sort of tiresome road producing the series; it's a new season every, what, two years maybe," Patrick Warburton (Brock Samson) shared with Screen Rant during an interview from June 2022.

Warburton continued, "I don't think that or because of those orders ever made things easy for the creators of the show, but they did well with it. I think that's why, too, having that time, they were able to keep it creative and interesting and make it the quality show that it is because they were never rushed. In a lot of shows, they're rushed, and you got to keep producing and producing and producing, and sometimes you see a lack of quality therein. With the 'Venture Brothers,' they always had the luxury of time to put together an interesting series with cool story arcs and whatnot."
