Trivia / The Venture Bros: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart

• Throw It In!: The small-talk Orpheus is making near the end is actually Steven Rattazzi being caught on-mic talking about how much he really didn't want to ad-lib random small talk. He stayed in character voice, so Hammer and Publick just used that.
• Word of God:
  • Its only obliquely implied in the movie itself, but Doc Hammer confirms in the commentaries that Debra is indeed Hank and Dean's biological mother, having traded Doc her egg cells in return for her invisibility powers.
  • Doc has noted that several of the movie's storylines were based on ideas they had for season eight before Adult Swim canceled it nearly two years after initially renewing it. Mantilla/ARCH was supposed to be a several episode arc, Hank's cross-country journey was going to take place over the course of the season, and Jefferson/Orpheus interacting with his old associates was going to be the focus of an episode. Some mentioned/leaked details of some other supposed storylines for season eight are covered on the series' What Could Have Been page.
