All right. Well, so much happened in these two hours. Wow, that was a lot of two hours. Major plot points, freedom camp, A train death Soldier Boy back I actually got a thing going The virus carries on

Our There's a lot Some more will come to mind I'll go to you first John How are you feeling about how this season is going so far? I'm feeling good I'm feeling optimistic I mean I've enjoyed the whole show

To varying degrees But I feel like this is really It bodes well for the rest of the season to come because I feel like these two episodes have been really strong so far, and they have managed to keep the audacity that the show has had the whole time. But I do feel kind of like we're back in some of the earlier vibes of the show because partly of the team dynamic being more assembled than it's been in a little while, or feeling more assembled than it's been in a little while.

And yeah, like, I don't know. There's something about the way that this obviously, like, shock and craziness is part of the world. and I felt like the past couple seasons have kind of gone out of their way to indulge in that a little bit and here it feels like we're to business with all that fun stuff

in tow but in a way that feels like yeah this is like going to be a momentous and a culminative season so thus far I'm enthralled hell yeah coy yourself

similar thoughts I was thinking the first episode like oh this reminds me of why I fell in love with the boys as opposed to enjoying watching it because it's a show

I already like. Like it's harder to fall in love with something that it is to coast. And the other seasons, you know, like four was a lot of action and a lot of like gross out stuff, but it was missing something. Like it would have been like a B versus an A. Like I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't bad. But this to me feels like a show that I would be immediately enthralled by. Like can't miss a lot of the heavy lifting of the first season. And I think the dynamics are stronger here because it's not. trying to either hold out. Like it feels like they know there's only eight episodes left. So the pacing I feel is really tight. The arcs feel very intentional. It feels like the team dynamic I really enjoy from the comic. This is one of the rare examples of a show I like more than the comic. The comic is very much a product of 2006. It came out in 06 when there was this movement in comics that was kind of to be counter the norm. And so like the ultimates was. the superhero version of the millennium and like, you know, let's modernize everything. But then there was also a lot of things like the authority or things like Squadron Supreme

that were like, let's do an edgy version. And then 2006 was like a reaction to the reaction. So it was like, how do we go edgy or that edgy? And the boys was a lot of times like a turduckin of edgy. So it worked a lot. And then like, you know, I think it's a fun run. But it is definitely a product of its time. And it's definitely a product of trying.

very hard at some things. And I feel like the show gets to do a greatest hits. The show gets to zoom out 20 years later and it gets to cherry pick elements that work while also it works better now than then because the world's so much worse. I think the 20 years of

depravity of reality have allowed the boys to feel more topical. And these first two episodes definitely felt like they had to go above and beyond absurdism because the stuff that is in season one and even season two is just today. So I really enjoyed these two.

I was wondering how the show would feel in a second term. Nice. Nicely good. How do you feel like I? I have an impression that this will probably be one of their stronger seasons they've ever done. When you look at season one and two, a lot more patient and character driven and a little bit more subtle,

not like, not subtle in the kind of political commentary, but you'd have to, to like around season four the group when they started realizing they were being made fun of primarily so it was like what the hell the show became woke i'm like no you were always the target yeah yeah and like so three and four became like very overt and it seemed like they really just wanted to make it super clear and no subtlety at all like we didn't make this point abundantly clear homelander is equals this guy the soups equal these people make it very very very

clear. And while the political commentary is still there because it's part of the DNA of this show, it's doing what season one was so effective at, which is just going right back to the basics of the characters. They're going to the characters. They're going to the emotionality. They're going to the tensions and they're letting that be the forefront while the other stuff is still like a part of the political commentary is still a star in its own way, but it didn't feel like they were going out of their way to be like, uh-huh, huh, like they were throwing their lines. Here. there. They would of course have like certain jabs that they're making here or there, but it didn't seem like a lot of gags about it. Like this one was seeped the most in dread and tension way more

than a lot of the seasons do in the first half of their other seasons, you know? And I think that's what made it so, what makes it separate from how like, especially seasons two through four went, which I really like them. And I, and I feel like when doing like a whole, watch. I mean, I finished my binge like a month ago. So some of it's a little bit vague to me now. But from where we left off and then how we started, they are doing the right conclusion. You know, we've seen a lot of finalies go wrong. We've seen a lot of whole season finales kind of go wrong where they feel like they're in a rush and like, oh my God, we're going to wrap this up. And this doesn't feel like they're doing that. I don't get the impression that they're in a rush

to do it because they're utilizing the fact that they can make these an hour long solid each. and they're dense hours they're dense hours but I'm like I'm reeled in I'm like it's got it's like hooks in my soul right now and I love what they're doing with literally everyone

I think what they what they're doing with everyone's really great how do you feel about A train's death John that was really I'm obviously sad that he didn't get to be more a part of the season and then we didn't get to live

quite as much in you know his actual turn to being a, you know, good, upstanding, you know, to hero. But I really liked the moments that they gave him. And I really liked his just change. And, you know, it's been built over time. But his, you know, whole vibe here, the kind of just sober-eyed vibe that he brought was really nice. And it was really satisfying to get, you know, that extra ounce of help, you know, with the breakout of the camp and the fun quick silver moment. but really just watching him laugh in home at watching it be like the exact opposite of the deep

and like just laugh in homelander's face as you know that moment was beautiful to go from catching the woman in the road dodging it realizing this is the end and then using those final moments to really you know jam one in on homelander that was really satisfying and a great payoff to the character journey so it's like i'm sad it was cut short i wish we could have watched him more i wish we could have seen more of him and his brother, but functionally, and to set the stakes, I'm like, yeah, I think that's a pretty solid choice. You know, I would rather wish to see more of him than be like, good, thank you, I'm done, you know?

Emotional functionality, but yeah, also good point in the physicality, because when this plant started, all of us were like, well, get a drink, you know. Yeah, Adrian could just come in here and save the day. It's a quick silver problem. That's why in X-Men, they're like, we get a scene. Yeah. So to actually eliminate him does raise the stakes, but yeah, I thought they gave him a surprisingly great arc and he was the he was the right character to kill off first and have it be

impactful and i think they they earned it you know because he was pretty horrible earlier on the show she was horrible for a long time yeah and it's been the slowest bill to redemption and he would have to sacrifice himself his arc is lovely across across the show i think they did a nice a relatively nice job with him what about you man uh highlight or the to speak to that briefly the i i think the mirroring of season or see yeah season one episode one to season five episode one I really enjoyed that it's it's truly a mirror and especially involving huey and especially with the woman I really liked all those things I also think he's such a good actor I'm like that was a really beautiful darkness to him laughing in his face because that's like one of the only kryptonites homelander has like he actually won that moment even though he died and that's a hard emotion to convey and I was just really impressed the acting of that scene um but the highlight of these two episodes to me is the was I think this is the most of like Homelander since I was introduced to the actor. Like when

people give all time great superhero performances often Homelanders listed for good reason. I think Homelander is a terrifying villain. He's amongst the great superhero villains, but I think in the kind of reveal like the full gloves off late season three and all of

season four of who he was mirroring to the showrunner and the writers, I think we lost a little bit of of the machinations of his mind. Like there's this amount that goes on behind his eyes and this darkness that's so beautiful. And I think that with season four, when you just made him like 47,

you just had to accept there was going to be a little bit more of farcical because you're looking at a reveal. I think like you said, a lot of people when they're like, a show went woke, they had to really make it clear who he was. And I think we lost a little bit of Homelander. And these two episodes to me feel like what I was thinking season one and two, which was so much more of like, I don't know what he's going to do next.

I love the unbridled rage. I love the insecurity. I love that he's like an impotent child. I love that he's like both impotent and childish. Like there's such a. Yeah, I can't do anything impudent. But also there's this lashing out. And I feel like when you make the lashing out the entire thing, it's.

It's not as interesting as being like what's going to happen next. And these two episodes, to me, felt like the Homelander that was so interesting in the first couple seasons. And again, I liked season three and four. I'm just acknowledging that like the peak of that character was earlier on for me. I think the transgression is nicely played, though. And to get to this point with him in five, I do believe they're utilizing what we did in three and four. I think we needed it. Yeah.

Like all the science stuff, all of the killing of his like. Yeah, where he grew up and everything. That was all needed. I just wasn't as interested in those choices. Oh, okay. It's just in some of the tonal. I get what you mean. It's like in some of the tonal handling of those parts of the show, you lose some of the man in Homelanders.

Yeah. And I feel the insecurity here. The boy, I guess. Well, what I love is there's always, there's been the tease of Flight 37 being revealed since season two, I want to say. When May first got the footage from the deep, which is why I fully believe the deep is going to die. because of that moment and once Homelander I don't know

Homelander never learned that it was the deep I believe so when you see like how he just kept getting which is very much like 47 just keeps getting away with no matter what they do they always get away with that flight 37 files

when they finally finally because there is a moment in three when when Annie does confront him and is like you will I'll release the tape and he's like go ahead I can do whatever I want I'll just go scorch earth on everything

and we find the show starts off with that scene and because of the time that we're at and how it relates to real life you can easily write that off as an AI generated thing

yeah oh it's so crazy how yeah the world has changed it up for that plot point yeah because for like several years like season five it's like what 10 years of the show or something like that

throughout you couldn't do that in season two when the time season two was there and you couldn't use that as an excuse now you can easily and you're like shit yeah you can just write that off huh i don't imagine them in the writers room being like thank god this is the perfect device yeah i got called technophobic because i said this was the last election will actually know who's running and like it's been a year and like now in one year this has like changed everything now i i is not new to the year but like in a year we've accelerated into a level where this plot point is like well yeah yeah so scary Guys, girls, do you ever feel like your home just can't keep up with your life? Now, I come from a hoarder's home. I mean that literally, not some metaphor. So a mess is quite triggering for a moi. Yet, I'm barely home these days. My wife's also gone working. We've got a bunch of cats.

And cleaning just becomes a constant battle. I order so many things that come to our home. She doesn't care for 99% of them. But when the narwhal 2 flow showed up, she was over the moon. I think she fell in love with me all over again. Or maybe for the first time. And honestly, I didn't even realize how good this thing was until I set it up. And by eye, I mean she.

So thanks, Naur Wall, for sponsoring today's video. So the flow two is basically both a robot vacuum and a mop. And way smarter than anything I've used before. Most of these, like, robots just kind of push dirt around. This thing actually cleans. Our new entertainment is not some app on our TV. It is just watching this thing go to work. It uses this flow wash system that sprays,

Fresh water constantly scrubs with this reverse rolling warm mop and cleans itself in real time so you're not just spreading mess around. Then it's powered by NarMind Pro, which uses cameras and AI to recognize objects, avoid cords, adapt to messes, and even has pet-friendly features, which is great for someone with four cats. It's quiet, smart, and honestly just makes life easier. So if you want your home handled, go to US. narwell.com slash Greg. That's us or us. Dot narwhal.com slash Greg. I love that it's Greg

and not real rejects. That just makes me happy. Thank you, Narwhal, for improving my life. How do you feel about Jensen Ackles being back so soon? Uh, I mean, it fit into the ride and I think it's an interesting prospect both for the physical stakes of

the season with the virus and for the personal stakes with Homelander and everything. Uh, I'm very, very curious as to whether they're going to go full bore with what you guys have said happens in the shocks they went they doubled down back in the cryotank i was like i think they're doing it that was gross i was like please don't well i know the show known to do gross things but i'm like please don't do that well that's the thing is i root for the show to do gross things when they're like meaningfully gross and i'm like we've done all this like breast milk stuff with

homelander and his mommy issues in the past and so now and we've met you know his father figures or the, you know, amalgam characters that make up dad. But like, you know, this is actual, this is the best representation of a possible dad he could actually have. And so, like, the daddy issues that are surely to arise throughout this. I mean, like,

it's interesting to watch the impact on him as he thinks that he's dead and all that stuff. And I wonder what that moment of actual emotional vulnerability will do to Homelander. But it's been great to see Jensen Ackles do his thing. And, and yeah, like I don't have any quam really with the timing or anything.

I don't know. It just made for some interesting moments. I do think there was like the twist came in so late in season three. And we didn't get much time to really explore that dynamic. Because the twist came in a penultimate episode or something like that. So to have this opportunity to see the dynamic and the relationship unfold and what that does the homelander especially and what that might even do to Soldier Boy. I'm so happy that they actually brought it in early.

I'm also super impressed with how much we don't know who's going to live that we were like, they killed HomeWale. Like, I believe they killed Soldier Boy in the second episode for a while. I was like, but I know Jared Patelike's supposed to show up at some point. I thought it might be flashback. Why would they do that?

But for like all of that last reveal, I was looking at the body like, he's got to suit up, he's got to sit up. Like we were all saying it. And then they waited. That was perfect editing of like, and credit shows.

Like, because I really am invested in their dynamic in a way that I didn't. I didn't expect I'd care because of how little time we've actually had to live in it. And with how much else the show has to do in this final season, but now we have such a different thing as Soldier Boy is going to blame his son. And like he can actually do something about it. Yeah. I'm so excited for this season. What about the members of the boys who's like been standing out to you in terms of the actual boys? Uh, you know, it's interesting. I did a, man, when was the first? I've done a couple set visits for them. I think the first one,

it was second season set visit. And I was so enchanted by. Karen Fukahara as like an actress. She's so magnetic. Like you, we talk about movie stars and TV stars and people that just have that thing. She always had that thing

where anytime I'd talk to her, I was just like, everything you say is awesome. And then like she doesn't speak. So I, it's ironic that I did the female and was silent when she now speaks. But like the introed of me doing it was me like,

I love her as an actress. But we've never gotten to see the combination of her physicality and her charming. voice and so I'm so like oh it's all of her wonder and like whimsy and her like nest because she's got this like innocent fairy thing and we've seen that through her body language but now we can hear it and feel it so it's so fun that she's like doing the TikTok thing and we're getting to play with like what her language would be blended with her innocence um I've obviously got a wee huey

bias I think that character is delightful and I think Jack Wade is such an interesting actor because he's able to play upset and he's also able to play earnest without them feeling like they're sacrificing the other like a lot of times it's hard to switch between like i forgive you but i'm not forgiving the thing that happened and a lot of times in writing that feels like what you have to do like people write dialogue as if like once you've forgiven the person it goes away he very uniquely has this ability to be earnest but you feel the weight of the consequences And that's really impressive in these couple episodes. Very true.

Absolutely. By yourself, John. I mean, I always love being in the presence of M.M. I just feel more comfortable in every situation when he's on screen. I'm a little worried for his drinking right now. But, I mean, I echo everything you said. Kimiko is the one I've had the most, like, to get used to just because of how strongly they commit immediately to the change.

And I thought it would be a little bit more of like an 11 learning to speak thing. I did too. And I felt like the second episode, we briefly touched on this. I think the second episode got me better acquainted to this because they started mixing in the body language. Like, I don't know, sign language,

especially if you rely on it for much or most of your communications for a long time. I have to feel like, you see it in Frenchie where he's like he's partially signing even when he's speaking because he's used to this. And so like the second episode, I was like, okay, finally some mannerisms that I'm used to from before to then marry

with this new circumstance. And there are times where it's like she seems overcome by emotion and maybe she can't get the words quite assembled when she can, the way she can when she's like super comfortable. So, you know, it's not like, it's weird. I don't begrudge them doing it, but it was the thing that I had to kind of wrap my head around the most or get used to the most. But it's just nice to see the boys as a team for real. As a team. Yeah. And to see everybody like, there have been moments in especially like the mid seat, like the three and three.

four seasons where like I felt like I feel like we're wheel spinning with some of the characters or we don't quite know what to do with Kimiko and Frenchie or this is that but right now it feels like everyone's got something pertinent and I'm invested in the individuals in the duos and in the team yeah yeah what they're doing with all them is great

honestly every single one of them like everything you said about Jack Kway to fully agree with his arc has been incredible I love going to the freedom camp and seeing him be the most level head one and to be the leader of the three of them. The one who's actually, that's like such a, such a strong level of character arc for him.

And to see a more sober Frenchy after all the struggles and to watch the flip happen where now it's MM, the one who's now an addict and is escaping when he's always given Frenchy shit for that. We rely so much on MM to be the guy who is the level-headed one, the supportive one, the empowering one, the encouraging one, the encouraging one. encouraging one and now he's the most cynical one and the most like hopelessness one it makes it makes for a great like dynamic switcherooze to do for everyone and then even watching what we're doing with starlight how she has become a lot more cold and stern and everything she did not want to be she's

everything she was warned about who she would have to be she is now becoming from like mave and butcher anyone as i crossed her path when she's tried to maintain her heart But then that's like the role that Huey has always held for her is to be the heart that she can rely back on. So to have that year without Huey makes more sense why she would be more detached, would be colder. And then even mirroring like Mave's actions. Like when Mave would first go to her former lover, she was immediately going for like the sex right away. And then you see like Starlights doing the same exact thing, you know, like, I mean, that's like the thing that people will use for comfort and outlet when they don't know how to just communicate. I understand, but it just, it does seem like it mirrors what Mave is doing, what Mave was doing.

I also, oh, sorry, go. I was just going to say the Starlighter thing, like hearing the name Starlighter be used as, you know, the freedom fighter and labeled terrorist and depending on which side you're looking at, but also the weight of knowing people are being in your name. I cannot imagine, like, they're labeling these people you and killing them for it. Like, that would harden anyone. So I like that they're leaning into her being a bit willing to die as a means of martyrdom. to escape the guilt of all of that but also like she's not trying to kill herself she's just trying to

she can't handle it and that's understandable well it's funny because what you mentioned about Huey minute ago made me realize like there's a lot of episode one hearkening across multiple seasons because there's also like season two there's that whole bit about like there it's butcher's gone and Huey's trying to lead but he's not really finding the way to lead and so yeah to watch that paid off there

was pretty cool. Ashley. Ashley. What's his name Thomas Riddle? Who was the guy's the name in the back of his head? It's Professor Quirrell.

Yeah, the Quirlehead. Yeah. Fun? Wild. I think the weird wacky power stuff has been pretty solid across the board

so far, the worm guy. But like Ashley, I like the weird mystery of like, okay, so we get the sense that she can read minds, but we're also getting this peering into her internal narration,

but you know I guess we're getting it selectively because she can't be talking out loud the whole time but yeah this is this idea that yeah she's got a dual personality or you know like another yeah instance of herself growing out of herself plus telepathy is pretty fascinating I'm always I keep I think they make a good game it's like I keep wondering if any one of these times could ever possibly be the time that Ashley does something that actually follows through and has the impact that she wants it to have. And I like her psyching herself up in the car and, you know, setting that seed, you know, for her to maybe make some kind of turn. But, uh, big experience dictates I shouldn't be too optimistic. But I, Kobe Minifee does a great job with this very tragic character. Yeah. How do you feel about David Diggs, man?

It's so, I mean, there was a moment when he was talking. I heard clipping. Like, it was like, it's not like. often because he's doing a thing, but like there was an intonation where I was like, oh, uh, you know, it's cool to see guest stars that you feel fit the tone in the world. Like, he feels like this makes sense. And I love that they can evolve from firecrackers to this like, you know, Southern Baptist performance stadium church.

Yeah. Like the Joel Olstein. Joe, what's his name? Yeah. Yeah. He's one of those. But like that to the scale of soups. Like it's fun to see that sort of character.

it's also interesting because like I'm wondering with our audience like our comments is it going to be like for Daredevil for example is pretty pretty parallel what they're doing but since the boys has done it longer I'm wondering if they'll be the same people being like well it's not our world today

like it is and so with like the the propagandizing of churches and like things that are happening in our reality but like I'm always curious if since the show is so over the top it's more palatable versus Darede which is like a more traditional superhero show. You know, like people in our comments are often like,

it's not about that. And it's guys, it is. And like this show is like pretty clearly about some of the same stuff. But since this one has made it public, whether or not people accept it more. Well, I mean, this show has attacked Christianity. From the job. Since the beginning.

Yeah. And you notice the smartest person in the world knows that that's all make believe. It doesn't. It's attacked religious, organized religion since the beginning. and how it can easily be political, politicized and weaponized in order to advance certain movements. So I, I'm happy with what they're doing here. And I like the, I like to be digs as a presence. Who was Homeland or going through there?

Like, he just sounded like a real. That was like a character experience. I was like, trying to really like grasp what's going on here with him in this moment. There's so much full psychosis on that man's face. Full guilt level that's going on. It's like, obviously, I don't have time about the scene when he's talking with at train but it was like what was happening in that when the speech was going on when you heard elizabeth's true he was like he was having a religious transcendence experience yeah it loses yeah

you lose the line because at first you're just like i like that they explore the psychology of you know what villainy does to you which is where that scene started for me which is like oh we're at this memorial for this guy i just murdered but i have to act like i care and i'm sad and in some ways maybe i am but also yeah then they do the voice modulation on david digs and you you are like, is he, like, possessing the room somehow? Is he like, what is your power? Exactly. Because we don't get a good primer on what his power is supposed to be.

So it did seem like some kind of actual religious experience was happening, but I couldn't tell if it was, it seemed like a uniquely homelander thing. Yeah, about everyone had a little glowing light and mother's voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I loved it, man. I, yeah, these two episodes are amongst the great, you know. I want to scan this QR code before we can. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These two episodes are amongst the, like, wide.

I love the boys stuff. Yeah. Yeah, they knew what they were doing this time. This is definitely hearken back to, yeah,

it has the audacity of later era boys, but it has like the storytelling finesse and the character stuff that I love the most. Yeah, it's weird to say the heart,

but it has the heart of the early boys. Rewatching, I did start to realize like, man, the first couple of seasons I really love and the second couple seasons

have, oh, oh, it takes you to teenage kicks. com. Yeah. Let's go. Oh,

this makes me so happy as a reader of the comics. Hell yeah. Let's do this. Teenagekicks.com. It's taking a minute to load. Well, to be explored. You can go explore yourself. Teenagekicks.com.

I'll tell you when you're older. I'll tell you when you're older. Go look it up. All right, guys. Well, that's it for today. Any qualms? I don't have any qualms. Honestly, I thought that was great.

I'm glad you guys said the same because I was like, am I just in love with this? No, that was great. That was great. This is amazing. Again, having watched the boys for a long time, and there's a lot I love about the show.

Again, as the show has gone on, I've been like, okay, I like this a lot, but I kind of get what it does, and sometimes the mean spirit's great on me. But this was like the perfect calibration of all the stuff that is audacious, but also that I love about. No notes.

Yeah, no notes. Absolutely loved it. What do you guys think? Leave your thoughts in the comments below. Who do you think will die this season? Calling Butcher Deep. And Frenchy. No, yeah, I'm gonna call Frenchy.

I can see that being more emotional because we've seen a lot of dismembering of, like, Camico's been almost killed. I think it's gonna hurt. You know? Yeah. All right. All right.

We'll find out together. See you guys.
