That isn\u2019t even close to the craziest stories in this series. Season 1 looks at country music, then season 2 goes into funk. The genres may change, but the stories are so out there you probably won\u2019t believe them.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.showmax.com\/eng\/tvseries\/2g8lgoq4-mike-judge-presents-tales-from-the-tour-bus?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=15_June_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch now \u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.showmax.com\/eng\/tvseries\/ymdjr3ph-venture-bros?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=15_June_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>The Venture Bros<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Venture Bros.

He was a boy adventurer who, along with his dad and sidekick, helped stop bad guys and find ancient secrets. But now he\u2019s middle-age, has two idiot sons, a dead-end career and fading looks. Don\u2019t worry, he\u2019ll get the respect he deserves, especially as long as he has his henchman Brock to take care of the heavy lifting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why watch this? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever heard of Jonny Quest?

What you must know is it\u2019s one of the all-time best \u2019adult\u2019 animated shows ever made, it has a villain modelled after a butterfly, Brock Samson is a bad mofo, and there is a running spoof of Hunter S. Thompson. This is not a Saturday morning kids cartoon.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.showmax.com\/eng\/tvseries\/ymdjr3ph-venture-bros?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=15_June_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch now \u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><b>How to get Showmax from R49 per month<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.showmax.com\/eng\/?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=15_June_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign up for Showmax mobile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and get access to the full catalogue on one mobile device for R49PM.
