Department of Homelander Security - S04 – Series Wrap Up
This episode is a bit different. Jim and A.Ron give an update on why they are stopping their The Boys coverage as of this episode.
Department of Homelander Security - S04E01-3 – Department of Dirty Tricks, Life Among the Septics, We’ll Keep the Red Flag Flying
The Boys are back for season 4 on Amazon Prime! Mother’s Milk is failing as the CEO. The Deep isn’t to be taken seriously. Homelander is aging and hating every second of it. What is Frenchie’s deal? In the first three episodes of the new season, Jim and A.Ron have found plenty of shock, cringe, and mayhem already!
Department of Homelander Security - S04 Preview
Jim and A.Ron are blasting back into the world of The Boys for season 4 on Amazon Prime. Billy Butcher is set on his path of destruction. Homelander is training up his son to be the next superpowered homicidal megalomaniac just like him. How cute. Grab a bag of tortilla chips, there’s a lot of chunky salsa in your future.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
The awesome presence of Chadwick Boseman is definitely missed, but don’t let that get you too down! Marvel produces yet another gem (or Infinity Stone, ha ha) for their catalog. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an action-packed movie that also explores delicate levels of grief AND delivers on great CGI. The astounding performances from Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, and Lupita Nyong’o will have you saying, “Wakanda Forever”!
Our next First Run movies will be Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and Avatar: The Way of Water!
Black Adam (2022)
Ok. Um, ok. Here we go. DC hasn’t quite cracked the Marvel formula for making fun movies. It begs the question, can the most charismatic man on the planet pull off DC’s latest deep cut? Black Adam owes some copyright fines to all those superheroes that you actually like. It’s not great, but it bolsters the Rock’s standing in the Bald Move Badass Hall of Fame…so there’s that!
Keep watch for the next First Run movies, Wakanda Forever and The Fabelmans!
The Boys - Season 3 Wrapup
Season 3 is over and while the finale wasn’t exactly to our tastes, it was a pretty good season overall. We’re back for one final podcast to consider your thoughts before we close the book on this season.
Department of Homelander Security - S03E08 – The Instant White Hot Wild
Ouch. A lot of people avoided becoming chunky salsa, and we’re actually disappointed. The episode had to pack in A LOT of information to wrap up the season full of psychopaths and potential patricide. Between the smackdowns, The Deep’s stoic murder felt too tame and that’s when we know that The Boys has corrupted our brains. And, um, where did Stan Edgar go?! Next season looks like it might be a return to a similar place as Season 2.
Department of Homelander Security - S03E07 – Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed
What happens when you cross demented nursery rhymes and Empire Strikes Back? This episode of The Boys. With the members of the show living out different plot lines, it doesn’t quite feel like the boys are back in town. But that doesn’t stop the classic “Boys” antics of beating the living daylights out of each other. We’re seeing great characterization of Soldier Boy and the not so great use of the “Chris Pratt calming right hand” technique and we’re asking you to stop.
Department of Homelander Security - S03E06 – Herogasm
It’s a shocking thing to be witness to Herogasm, let me tell you. What’s more shocking still is to be witness to Herogasm yet somehow underwhelmed by its depravity. Even though the event itself disappointed, the episode did not. Join us for the podcast for a discussion of what went wrong and what went oh so right.
Department of Homelander Security - S03E05 – The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies
The satire is hitting close to home. You may feel bad about yourself, but so long as you don’t sleep with Butcher, there is hope for you yet. We’re sensing some red herrings in the mix, who is telling the truth? And place your bets, who will be a smoky corpse or chunky human salsa by the end of the episode?
