Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the GENV
season two review series, Episode seven. I'm the fired from Blockbuster.
I fucked it the whole name, I spelt it wrong.
And if the fire Blockbuster employee dress now either way,
Blockbuster let me go. And I'm joined by.
Speaker 2: I am the diaper Pledge Taylor Field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so these gentlemen, we are here for the penultum
episode jen V. Finally we said, we had a busy
summer fall and it's slowly winding down. All us in
the feeds Alien Earth, is there, Peacemaker, all the episodes
of this fi there's one other one we're missing. Oh,
I guess Dexter as well. See, I was busy. But
now after this soon we'll just be doing it. And
then after that fallout, so soon we'll you know, have
a bunch of shows a movie still to cover, but
a little slower for us, thank goodness. And as you
can see with that Weekly Geek returned with Dylan and Kirkland,
so you'll be getting more of those. There'll be a
couple obviously, especially around stream time where the schedule is
kind of gets all over same thing. Tras told you,
we'll be back next week. I've been off, but most importantly, okay, second,
most importantly, I'll promote the big thing after but uh,
I guess third, most importantly versus actual life, second patron,
but third for a big cast. We're doing this week
is on Friday, seven fifteen PST. We will be live
in person in studio, meet Taylor and Kirkland doing to newscast.
Possibly a bond draft as well. But yeah, we did
that in June and we're like, oh, we're gonna start
doing this monthly. July got really busy. Obviously, August or
GV Day, we had like twelve hours of cast, so
that was fine, and then August or sorry, setem, We're
just got busy. So that's still the plans. Try to
do once a month, and this one's gonna be our
last patio pod. I've told these guys to address warm
We're gonn gonna do it outside. We're gonna have the
fire pit going and it's gonna be a good time,
So look out for that, and we'll still do the monthly.
But yeah, seven pm, seven to fifteen pm PST will
be live us free and those are those are always
a good time. That was a very that was one
of our biggest episodes this year, so we appreciate it.
So if you're like seeing us or hearing us in person,
that is coming up with Price, so that'll be a
good time. And yeah, the other stuff I'll talk about
a little bit later. Tarfield, what do you think about
the penultimate episode? Did you enjoy this episode? Happy at
the reveals? And are you happy and excited for next week?
Word curious? Where are you? I'll see non spoilers.
Speaker 2: I'm excited for next week. I really am.
Speaker 3: I you know, i'd say this episode felt short. I mean,
the runtime is definitely short, but it didn't didn't do
a bad job but kind of giving us a little
bit more progression in the story and just kind of
giving us a bit of a reveal obviously leading into
that finale. So I am quite content with this episode.
It twas it was high octane and tense, and it
had a good degree of humor thrown in there too
with one one certain character. But as for the rest
of it, I quite enjoyed it. I thought that there
was a lot of good stuff going on. I mean,
it's not anything that's going to be groundbreaking or breaking
down barriers or walls and the overall narrative. It just
kind of gives you and sets you up with a
very big development in our story, and that's that's it.
And then it's kind of leading in and I think
you can kind of see where things are going to
tie into the boys now at this point.
Speaker 2: With certain stuff going on. So can you think?
Speaker 3: I think so because I feel like this isn't I don't.
My prediction is that we're not going to get.
Speaker 2: This story resolved in next week's episode.
Speaker 3: I feel like things are just going to kind of
tie into the boys big time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I'm curious about that because I don't know.
They drop a lot of boys preferences and a lot
of sorry, it's just a baby popping off in the
other room and family's downstairs. We've got to send her texts.
So let's be eight pm and all ears ah, they're
supposed to be having a bottle of bedtime. Yeah, it's
I don't think you're wrong. I think if they choose
to do that stuff, they can. I just wonder how
much of the bag is of this show, and baggage
in a good way as far as all the stories
will they take over because they don't know if it's
an easy pickup, but maybe you think it is easy
pick up when we're going to spoil it, because I
feel like there's I also feel like the issue that
came up this episode could also just be resolved next
week right like very quickly, and it's like, wow, that
was close, you know, like I think there's one thing
that could play into it, but like I don't. Yeah,
I don't know. I have to hear your examples of
what you think that is. But what else anything else?
Non spoilers.
Speaker 3: No, again, pretty pretty light, I'd say just overall, I'm
I'm happy with where we're where we are at now.
Speaker 2: With with this week's episode.
Speaker 3: Last week's episode, I wasn't like I was feeling like
h and they introduced yeah, because they had last week's episode.
I can't really say that because there were two characters
last week's episode, which I feel like unless the Ties
comes full circle with next week's episode, I don't know
how I feel about why they were introduced, if that
makes sense, because this episode doesn't really do justice for
those two characters.
Speaker 1: Okay, I feel I'm gonna I'm gonna have to walk
with you again. Spoilers for it.
Speaker 3: Just feels like it feels like an equivalent of like, Okay,
these two characters that were in last week's so to me,
it feels like, hey, we just threw into the book
of a fete here all of a sudden, Like it
doesn't really feel like it fits because of how this
week's episode went, unless to the finale ties it all
together now with those two characters. But I don't really,
I don't know if that's gonna happen. I feel like
again and that's where I think it's just gonna connect
to the boys, and we're just kind of that's another
big piece of the story, right with the boys merging
into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because even like right now we can talk nonspoil.
There's the only two connections we've had from this show
to the Boy's obviously, Okay, there's there's four. I guess
really you've had the Deep cameo multiple times, but that's
meant nothing. Right, you have Starlight, but that really didn't
lead anywhere unless the finale and with her like doing
a Nick Fury like, oh I hear you. You know
you ever heard the boys initiative? You know, like maybe
she could just take in some of our heroes, so
maybe that'll pay off. But as right now, that didn't
pay off. Homelander wasn't last season, but that just helped
capture them, right, and that was it. It wasn't You
didn't go all their mortal enemies. Now, they just were
kind of just any other random soups on the block.
And then the other one, oh god, I'm forgetting it was. Oh,
I guess there's actually five I guess with John Carlow,
which we'll talk about in this episode and last episode.
As far as okay, that's a tie, but we don't
know where the other one was. Now, I've already forgot
her name. We remembered it. Whose name was it the
Hedge pop or the original Blood Lady Man because we
forgot about it, and then they brought them up, so
we're like, all right, that's her name, and then we
forgot again. Newman, right, Newman's something Victoria Victoria Newman, so
she has the same powers as Marie, but that didn't
really go anywhere because she's dead. Right. So that's the
thing where it's all the connections so far, they've they've
connected to the boys, but all of them have either
been cut short very quickly, or not gone anywhere. So
that's where I don't know. That's what a ton swears.
I don't know where you could get to. I think
all the stuff that's happening now they could just put
on the side and you don't have to deal to
the boys. I get your two characters you're talking about,
but I don't even know if they're gonna have like
a big impact on the boys, right, they might just
be kind of around. So it's it's interesting, which I understand. Right,
you don't want to feel that people have to see
gen V and vice versa because you get in that
situation where there's the homework problem and it's kind of
not like it was ten years ago. We hear that
with the MCU when we hear you know, a peacemaker people, Oh, James,
you said they're gonna be homework. So it's like, I
feel probably that's because there's more content than ever. People
still want things connected, but they don't want to feel
like they have to watch it. So I don't know.
It's interesting. Well, I guess we'll talk more in spoilers,
but anything.
Speaker 2: Else, Nope, right, m I was to just to gulp
and go for it.
Speaker 1: I thought there'd be something else, but I say, know
as a mid drinking and then he just turned to yo, M.
That doesn't help me at all. But yeah, I thought
it was a good episode. I thought this was a
good setup. We got a big reveal, and I thought
that was really all done. There's something with the reveal
that I'm a little worried about, and it's just purely
comes down to i'll say, acting choices. See, But I
think that worked out. I think we discussed a lot
of things and I'm happy they went certain ways, some
good moments for some characters. I think they've done a
very good job this back half, where with Sam, I
think we all kind of go oh, this this good
guy turns a little quick a little even last week
they touched upon some things where it felt like he
was good with the romantic situation going on, and that
was kind of a closed book and myerspoilers. This episode
just comes right back up. It's like a big issue.
Go oh. I thought last week was you were cool
with it and it was kind of a hey, this
thread might be picked up down the line, but then
this week it's nope, we're right back. So that was
a little strange and then I will say that I'm
really Oh That's what I was trying to say, is
the stuff with Kate. I think they're doing a really
good job now. And because that's been a big complaint
for a season. Yeah, a little of the season one, but
the first half of the season where I felt like
that character was kind of all over the map. But
I think they've created a good path and a path
that led to some very tension filled moments, So I
really enjoyed that. Yeah, it's tough to talk about because
I do think they did do quite a few reveals here.
I do think this is has to at least get
a season three because I feel that next week there
is you can really yeah, because I feel you can
tie it, because the only way you can't, like, how
can you tie all their stories up? You can tie
a couple, but there's a lot of stories still hanging
in the bounce. Unless they just all get plateaued and died,
then sure, But I still think I'm kind of with
I think Mike' said a couple of weeks ago, where
season three is almost like an epilogue. It's almost like
you could rebuild the school or it's after the fall
to the boys, and that's kind of gives you some
context there. I think that's what you could do, especially
in this episode. I feel some bad stuff is going
to happen to the school, so I feel there could
be somebody on the good side that wants to rebuild
or help with this school, right, So I do I
think if you were to end the show here, it
would feel very odd, unless it's a very bleak ending.
So I guess we'll have to wait and see and
we'll talk about then spoilers. So, yeah, you got nothing.
I got nothing. Anything I want to do. I want
to dive deep into. So we'll be right back after
this first ad break and we are back, and two
things before we continue to go. You didn't have to
get that ad break. If you go to Patreon on
the Phase two tier or up obviously there's Phase one.
You can send questions just kind of like a tip
jar by the other stuff. You get all the goodies,
all the benefits of variety of different exclusive episodes. If
you go to Producer tier, not only do you get
to pick a movie or something for us to retrospect,
you get to get all the episodes ad free, our
entire backlog every single exclusive we do. And as we've said,
which you'll probably hear around Extra Lifetime, there'll be some
beefing up of that tier because that's our biggest tier
and people you know, put a on that, but we
appreciate everybody that does any other tier, and you get
your choice, and we completely understand if you're just hit
download on the video or download in the audio. We
completely are fund at that and we thank you big
time because all of you are supporting us, each and
every one of you, and we really appreciate that. And
also we would very much appreciate to join us. November eighth,
Extra Life, we are raising funds for BC Children's Hospital,
so look out for that. That'll be a very fun time.
We're going twenty four hours. All the funds are deductable,
All the funds go towards surgeries, care for children, recovery needs,
all that stuff. You can go to the link down
below that has everything that the when it goes towards
it has our schedule and has all the goals that
if we get to five hundred thousand, one fifteen, like
all that stuff that it'll either unlock stuff of the
night or maybe some content down the line. So we'd
very much appreciate that. And if you can't donate, we understand.
If you want a shirt, you can buy one of
those two. I do have to check the stats here.
I think Jurassic Park has taken the lead. I don't
know which one, but I'm not surprised that Jurassic Park
one is is quite a good shirt. But yeah, so
you can go get the shirt. Those funds go to
the charity as well. And then yeah, and if you
can't donate, as we've said before, just on the day
up anytime, come pop in, watch it, share it, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, wherever.
Get a like that helps it push up the algorithm.
And sometimes we get people that don't want Many times
we pioll that donate that have never heard of us.
They just like what we're doing for the show, like
what we're doing as far as a cause, and yet
that's just helps spread awareness. So we thank you very much.
We'll be pumping this again obviously until November eighth, because
it's a big deal and it is our ninth year.
And if we can, I think it's raised somewhere over
the two thousand mark. That'll get us to about twenty
thousand Canadian for extra life over all nine years, which
would be an incredible milestone. So if we could hit that,
that would be I think just popping champagne, so big
thank you to everybody. Taylor, he said, some of the
stuff's bleeding into the boys. What's gonna be bleeding over there?
What's Maria sending over there?
Speaker 3: So I feel like I can't remember his name, but
he always plays the villain and everything he's running the
burger joint or whatever.
Speaker 1: Crusty Clancy Brown, No, no, because Plancy runs a villain
and everything is as Posito John Carla as posito. Yeah,
I thought you're describing Grancy Blout because he's a burger joint.
Isn't Los poils. That's like a chicken chicken? Yeah see,
I justin krusty grab or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I feel like what they introduced with him and
his granddaughter, which Tori knew his daughter last week, they
didn't touch upon any of that this week. And I mean,
you're right, we could see that Season three kind of
tackle this story. But I feel like I feel like,
whatever is gonna happen in this finale with Godulkin killing
off all these soups and stuff, I feel like you
have two different ideologies.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: You have Homelander, who, even though he kills his own kind,
he's just a fucking lunatic. When you look at the
finale of last week's episode or the finale of last seasons,
you have Marie who is being called out by Homelander
for like killing her own kind all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: And then you have Godulkin who doesn't care about his.
Speaker 3: Own kind, like he's killing baby, who's like, yeah, hands
for feet kind of a thing.
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, just let's kill you here.
Speaker 3: So he's going around, He's gonna be executing all of
these different guys, and I feel like he's, uh, he
could kill Homelander if you want. I mean, he could
control Homelander for which is fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: So we've had that conversation about Marie we STI don't
know if that like if she could kill him or
not too right, because then it's like, well, Marie could
just do it as well. But I don't think any
of these care. I don't think a character from gen
V will be the one to take out Homelander. In
my opinion, I feel like it has to.
Speaker 3: I think it'll be I think it'll be Butcher or
Huie or Huie.
Speaker 2: I could see Huie.
Speaker 1: I feel like Butcher. I feel like Butcher could sacrifice
himself to set up that kill shot, you know, so
it's in a way that he doesn't kill him, or
they just kill each other, you know, a certain situation
because you never know what these finales, right. I feel
like for years we're watching Game of Thrones and I
guess I want to spoilers, give it thirty seconds. But
everyone's like, oh, Aria Stark, She's gonna fucking kill u
Cerus no matter what's gonna happen, and what's happened Circe,
she just dies in a cave holding the love of
her life. Right, so you never know what finales. I
feel like sometimes creaters like, oh, let me uh, you know,
I get it. Sometimes you wanna sw him and do
something different, but sometimes the most obvious choice is the
best choice, you know. And I kind of feel like
that would Butcher or Hughie because Hughe de me does
make sense, like he was the main character. He's been
leaning up, so I could see that. But if it's
a I could see them, I don't know. I worry
them doing something schmoozy with Homelander and it doesn't I
guess could always be a son too, right, Yeah, I always.
Speaker 2: Could be that.
Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna see Homelander at all in
this season like we did last. But uh, I feel
like you're going because they brought Godulkin back like this.
I feel like you it's the same kind of route
as what was his name, Soldier Boy. Yeah, I think
it's like a Soldier Boy kind of set up, because
not in that sense, but I feel like you have
you bring back this like main heavy hitter, and you're
not going you're just gonna bench him. You're not gonna
remove him from the storyline. So I think something kills
him right away. That's my worry, right, that just pops him.
Could But then we've got to remember about this whole
like future thing that Marie's sister is detect thing here,
because she's saying like the room was different from where
Marie was there, Like, OK, that's obviously going to be
tackled the next week's episode, I imagine. I don't think
they would leave that on the table for like crossing
over to the boys or something like that.
Speaker 1: Expect season three if you could leave that, right.
Speaker 2: You could.
Speaker 3: I just don't see them doing. Are there any other
shows planned to take place after The Boys concludes?
Speaker 1: No, well we don't know because there's the whatever, Vault Rising.
But then there's that Boy spin off, which again there
could might be doing too many. It's gonna like John
Wick went out. But there's that. Remember it's like The
Boys Mexico. Yeah, that no, but that's Vault Rising. Then
I remember they're doing The Boys Mexico saying they're doing
a whole like soups and stuff in Mexico. So I
don't know where that takes place. So that's like a
concurrent after before, et cetera. My theory is I think
it's gonna be after because they haven't said let me
see if they've said anything the Boys, and I don't
even know if it's called that. Maybe it's something else.
It is just The Boy Mexico. Let's see the pilot
episodes of filment. The project press has been described as slow,
with Crypt noting that the deals are still being worked.
Oh that's the executive producer by Diego Luna and Gala
Garcia Burnell. They Yeah, all I said is the plot
details are scarce the showrunners said, I'll have a totally
different tone from the original series, so I could really
have nothing to do with any of this stuff going
on too. And plus I think that's probably the same
thing because it's a different country, right, because the way
they're kind of posing in his Homelander, even though he's
not the president, he is the president in the sense
where I don't think he's not the president of Mexico, right,
So that's the thing where you could do different things.
So yeah, I still think with the vision all this stuff,
I think that's gonna be say for season three, I
think with the Adulcon that's his name, Adulcin, right, good
good Dalcon.
Speaker 2: Is Hodualc in the Dragon Ball that's the I think
street fighter.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, they should have made him that. Uh
but uh, or god, what did he he's a oplopa
from The Wizard or or god? What is that show? Wicked?
Or am I getting them wrong? Who's opop and who's
the who are in Wicked? Who's the little people? Uh?
Speaker 3: The munchkins are Yeah, he's a munchkin from Wicked. Oh
that's where I recognize that fire.
Speaker 1: He's the one that's in real life dating area on
a grande. Yes, that's one thing before we get into
story wise. I've not seen this guy in anything. I've
just seen many memes because he played SpongeBob in this
and he's with her on and there's a whole wild
story with how they got together, so you can look
into that and that I feel like a lot of
meme culture there. I wasn't I wasn't vibing with the performance.
I've never seen this guy, so okay, I saw him wicked,
but I didn't try like, I wasn't paying attention to him.
He has what I don't know, twenty twenty five minutes
of screen time. He's just like trying to cuck her
sister so he can be with her on like whatever
the they're doing that movie. All romance stuff sucks in
my opinion, Sorry, Mike. So for me, I wasn't digging
the performance. And here's the thing where if he gets
killed off next week, it won't be that bad because
to me, it's like, oh, that's why you got Hamish
link Later, who to me is a much better actor
than him, and he was really the big bad for
seven episodes and then the finale it was just so
you could do the twist right of we talked about
a couple of weeks ago that theory you were right,
and I think now that it happened Joe from a
Multiverse minutes and on GA DC A Liones he had
all said that theory too, So I'm happy they went
that route. And I think it was done like aces
no no, like notes there. I love that Marine was
trying to do the heroes play and thought, oh, this
is the reason, like heal him up, he'll help us up,
which I think is a pretty naive of her. But
at the same time, they've kind of made her a
naive character so that that kind of works out. And
I do love why that whole scene's going on that
Kate's the one that clicks that have like fuck that Cipher,
and that kind of works like it just kind of
feels like there's just certain even like isms you feel
like she might understand because she has a similar power
as him, right, so in just the way he's speaking.
And she also spent the most time with Cipher, right
I think, out of all of them, so that's where
it's like, oh, even his mannerisms. I don't know if
there was a one to one as I felt amishlink
Later and him really vibe the same. He felt different,
and it just that's why I'm kind of fine if
Marie does just fuck him up next episode and that
that's in. That was just a season because I wasn't like, oh,
I love this character in this actor so far, I'll
wait another episode. But it just it was it felt
kind of goofy to me, where Hams schlink Laker has
a scary off so you just watch him min mass
like that guy get me scary when he wants to.
And I wasn't scared of good doalkin here. I was
very much like, oh, go go back, you know, go
back to the other way. But that reveals great. I
love that amishlink Later put on some weird almost like
Boston acts and we're like, I'm just scary. I've worked
at Blockbuster, a cat named Buster, like I'm doing Terrible Boss,
but like, I don't know I was boss but was something.
But he's like, oh, my bag's broken, my ribs are broken,
and I get this. Poor guy has no idea where
he's been, so yeah, he's definitely not making it to
the boys. But in retrospect now I'm kind of fine.
That of like, oh, that's why they got him because
he can play a good villain. I just I just
wasn't vibing with the actual character reveal. Nothing writing was bad.
I think it was pure just acting choice. And we'll
wait and see what happens there. I guess it's very
you know, matt I moody and uh, what is it? God,
prisoner askamn, right, like when those reveals happen matd Ie
movies like pretty scary, and then when you get him
as a good guy later on, you're like, I kind
of wish he was bad because he just was such
a good performance there. So we'll see. But I think
there's a really good chance he's just dead next week.
I think that's it, Marie pops them. I think he's
gonna do because how what let's say, if you keep
him alive, I personally don't think he would have a
big story in the Boys. So either he has to
go missing and he's on the run, or he's just
dealt with, you know. And that's where I think that
he's just gonna be dealt with, per se because technically,
like lots of the bad guys from the first season
Season one of Gen B got taken out, right, That's
why we had the new headmaster and everything, so I
could see this guy being taken out. And then I
don't know what you do with season three. I think
it's a fault. But I'm gonna say that he's I
don't know if I'm gonna say he's gonna die next week,
but I'm gonna say he's not in the boys, like
for a big amount. If it's a scene at Cameo, sure,
but you think that he will be. I think this
will be a big story point.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna kick around.
Speaker 3: I mean, gotta be wrong, absolutely, but I think he's
gonna he's gonna stick around. He's a big name part
of the universe, so I mean, who knows, Like, I
don't think Homelander's gonna pop up, but maybe you see
Homelander up here and he's like, oh my god, like
you're killing more students are dying at this fucking school.
So he drops in again and he just fights him
or something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if homem leanderd would care that much,
though I agree with you that he likes to keep
his own kind. But I think he's shown he will
absolutely just kill them if he wants to. So I
could see him being like, yeah, sure kill hands for
feet guys, you know.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, So maybe that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's another good allegory that I
don't know if they'll spend much time on because they
went into just oh yeah, you must be in the
bottom ten percent. Oh actually bottom two, And I don't
know if they will spend time And I think same
thing like that girl that was the caffeterier girl, they
kind of brushed past that. They could brush past this
because I think there is a good story of we
talk abouts all the time, especially you mean Kirkland, where
it's just like I think we have there's similar things
politically we share and then there's things differently, but I
think we all can agree none of us are either
hard on one side where it's like, no matter what
this side does, I'm gonna support them, right. But that's
where I think this character is kind of an algory
for that, because it's oh, you're you're not soup enough,
you're not good enough, you're not right enough, you're not
left enough. Right, So it's like instead of being with you,
they'd rather not you associate them at all, right, So,
which we see a lot in our political climate where
it's like, oh, if you don't agree with everything this
a politician said at this party, says you're not with us,
you can't be with us. You gotta agree. And that's
the way it is. There's some things I'm left about.
That's some things I'm right about. Like I consider myself,
I consider myself left and more liberal. But I've said
many times on podcasts, I'm all folded for the death penalty,
which is not a thing. Right. So I think with
this character you could dive into that stuff of what
does it mean? You have Homelander who wants soups to
rule and will kill soups if he needs to, and
then you got this guy who it is almost like
you said, a soldier boy. It's like, oh, he's a
worse Homelander, right, But Homelanders still some always managers to
come out on top. He's always still the one hanging
around kicking. But technically this guy would be worse right
because he I don't think he's gonna look at Homelander
and deem him not.
Speaker 3: You know, no, Homelander and Marie right, they're both they're
the survivors of that same program.
Speaker 1: They're the gods exactly right, So I don't I don't
think they'd have a problem. So that's why I think
they'd come to some understanding. But I think for other
superheroes that could be and maybe that could be something.
Maybe you could use this character as a way for
other soups to turn on Homelander, right, because it's just, Oh,
I thought you were protecting us, and then I think, oh, well,
good Dalkin doesn't think this guy's good enough, and it's like, well,
what about like what if he deems the deep not
good enough?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And what's the deep thing again to do? Is he's
just gonna sit there. So there is some interesting things
they could go into. Again, it's just like how much
do they want the Boys' viewers to have to see
gen V. I don't know, that's a question because so
far it hasn't been much. And I guess we'll see
because even last season they were doing that whole the
homeland Er killer thing, right, But I think they like
because it was the weapon, right, that's what they're they're
working on in season one, and that did transition over
to the Boys. But at the same time, I think
they did in a way where oh, that's just something
that happened. They didn't make. You had to watch gen
V where this is a big character. So I don't know.
It's kind of a tight rope. We'll have to see
because obviously finales next week. He could just get popped
and dead, and I think I'm on a fifty to
fifty for my predictions as far as if he makes
that or not. They could just do that and move on.
Who knows what this blood room that Marie's sisters feeling
love and whatnot. So we'll see. But what did you
think of the actual because I talked about what do
you think about the actual reveal of Godulkin and poor
uh remember his name? That hamishlink later was kind of
like what your theory was? He talked about with you know,
your friend pitched your work. You gotta talk to your
friend now and he's.
Speaker 3: Gonna be happy. Yeah, yeah, talking to him tomorrow. He
wasn't there today so I could talk to him about it.
But yeah, he's gonna be absolutely ecstatic that his his
theory is right. And yeah, just it it all fit
blew my mind. So just that's all I could see.
H going into these episodes now and yeah, that's when
he was getting healed.
Speaker 2: And everything that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, here he fucking is this is the adult gun,
not even Cipher anymore. But it came close to where
he was going to off himself too in this episode,
and I feel like he's just giving up so easily,
which is kind of wild because he could have just
kept well, I guess, the body since he had to
hide the body. His body was now at risk of
being like it was starting to die. So it was
he was just gonna kill himself off, I guess, and
sooner rather than later, So that makes sense why he
was kind of rushing to that. That uh, that endpoint,
But no, I think he's The reveal was pretty pretty awesome,
and I think he is what I prefer his name
is Hamish.
Speaker 1: The link later in real life, I don't. I can't cipher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would prefer the actor Hamish who's and the
Cipher character over the Munchkin.
Speaker 2: But I'm very open to seeing what the Munchkin brings.
Speaker 3: To the table here because I definitely liked how he was.
He was talking very calm and cold and collectively in
this episode, so I could definitely get on board with that,
but it just it sucks to have that that big
name kind of just put to the side now because
he was I mean, I really enjoyed him.
Speaker 2: He was fantastic.
Speaker 3: And again I'm I'm biased because I just am coming
off of finishing Midnight Mass this past the past week,
so I'm definitely all about that that actor Friday. Oh yeah,
he's he was super, super fantastic.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean watched it to you made me.
I luckily I checked my box actually rewatched in twenty
twenty three, so I'm like, all right, it was two
years ago. Not too bad. Yeah, I can't talk a
moment Night Mass and not watch. And well also you
won't do anytime soon. But when you do, because it's
my third time watching it, because I watched it, well
wait till Friday. I'm just saying when you do a rewatch,
even at some point, it's even better because I when
you got all the answers and you watch it, there's
even some of the third watches like oh man, I've
never I never caught that before and I did, so yeah,
just because I have this information out of the twist,
You're like, oh okay, cool, so uh but yeah, friy,
I check o. We will be telling him a little
what we've been watching. Section. Uh let's see a person here,
says b R. Justin a prediction Marie is going to
be is going to remove the compound V from I'm
gonna say home Landers tossume meant I think auto cred
got you with Homemaker's system. I was so confused. I
get Homemakers, but Homelanders system forcing him to live the
rest of his life is incarcinated as a human. I
would love that. I think that'd be very uh fantastic
and fitting. Even if he wasn't even incarcerated. It's just
like even out in regular life, like I know he'd
probably be doing bad stuff, but if Homelander just had
his no powers, I think that would be a really
good end for Like that could be worse than death,
to be honest. So I think that that's the only
thing that's tough about that is though It's like I
would almost want an epilogue, like what was that El
Camino movie of what is Homeline? Like what happens a
Homelander for just a day in life? I like if
they did a finale and then like an epilogue and
it is just Homelander living this stuff. But no, I
would be down for that. So it's tough because I
do think it's a character that could also like that
is a character if you'd want to see kind of
mutilate on screen, as bad as that sounds, for all
the bad stuff he's done, you'd want to see that
character kind of beat the shit and just destroyed. And
the good thing is, like, I don't know, I've never
read the books. I don't know how it ends, so
I hope I don't get spoiled before that. And obviously
they've changed stuff. But what would you rather? Would you
rather him get a big, juicy, powerful death or would
you want to be just sucked dry and answer of
a human non suit for the rest of his life?
Speaker 3: There As I've come to learn in cinema, things that
are more worse than death.
Speaker 2: So I'd be interested to see what they can do
on that front.
Speaker 3: I think that there could be a lot of a
lot of fun that they could play with that and
just that level of torments. So I think that's definitely
the path to go with. But hmm, I could see,
like you pitched like Hue being the one to execute him.
Speaker 2: Or kill him.
Speaker 3: I think that definitely fits too. But again, would it
be okay, he loses his powers, Marie just zaps him
and takes away his compound being his blood, and then
all of a sudden you got Hue just holding the
gun and just pops him in the head or something
like that. Like it's it could be a hand in
hand kind of moment. Like why would it just be
limited to one?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: It could turn human and then just get killed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. Let's see here. Okay, so we
talked about that, so we'll see he's killing But that's
what Oh, that's why Total Annuns was where I think
the school could be at risk because he could kill
a bunch of soups and also that could get in
some legal territory. And obviously he's not like a teacher,
but still she's all these kids getting killed on campus.
I think it's gonna be pretty bad for that school.
And that's why I do think season three still could happen.
There you talk about and I suppose Yeah, John Carlow
and the Niece nowhere here. It was funny because we
were talking about that last week if they would only
be a one off, and we thought that could happen,
And really we didn't even see them all. They just
left the compound. We didn't even see them talk to them,
tell them that they're leaving. They find were really pretty
pretty easily. Like I think they know where she's going.
But it just I guess I understand why Marie leaves.
But it's just so funny when the characters just end
up there. They fly over there. That's good. We got
Sam and oh boy, am I forgetting her name? Who's
the shrinker aunt man aunt woman character?
Speaker 2: Fuck?
Speaker 1: Am I forgetting it? Yeah, she's the best character of
the show. Oh yeah, I can't remember. Yeah, you google it.
So we got them. They had a relationship fight, which again,
like I said, non sports, that just Emma, thank you.
That just didn't really work for me because I felt
like we kind of tabled this last week and it's
just brought back up, especially in the penultimate and finale.
It's like, I don't think we have time to be
dealing with this relationship drama. We had the sister and Jordan, right,
that's the day them. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, they had
a good conversation about you know, whether they're with each
other and whatnot. And then Kate and Marie very good.
As far as Marie's healing all these people, Kate's asking
for it, I'm not gonna do and then she says like, Okay,
I will heal you if you never use your powers
on us any again, and she still doesn't even trust that.
And then what I love the character stuff where Kate
kind of has talked about, oh with you know what
Vaught does that make you do like I would never
do this stuff again. Then later on the episode, this
is what I love when they kind of bring that
gray area marine needs to stop the team they're running
trying to get to uh inside, stop Marie from doing
whatever she's gonna do with goodal and all that stuff,
and she lifts them up and she's doing all that
blood stuff and she's telling Kate like, oh, if I
heal you, can you make them go away? And she's like,
I just said like I was never gonna do that
ever again. She said, okay, but I need you to
do this. And I like that Kate stood on her
ground and didn't do it because I actually thought Kate
was gonna bite. I thought she's going okay and Marie
and Kate, so I like that one. They're driving Marie
so far that she's getting kind of obsessed with the
hero's journey, that she's pushing people away. But then too
that Kate is you know, we kind of said this
past a couple of weeks, and finally that episode where
they stripped her down and put in prison, that was
really the start of Okay, they're making her a good
guy again because you're kind of embarrassing the character, but
now for her to actually make some sort of heroes
move of Hey, I'm not gonna do that to these
people that I literally just said, I will never use
the powerson again. So yeah, I really liked that season.
Like I said, I like what they're doing with Kate,
and like I said, the Samma stuff, I don't know,
that felt kind of out of nowhere. But yeah, what
do you think about the journey to the school, some
of the stuff that happened in school before the the
Dolphin stuff or good Dolphin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it was. I I really
did think that she was gonna get healed. They really
really did.
Speaker 3: And I like them where you kind of like stood
aground and even when Marie was like holding them up
and like fucking kill them almost Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: I think she's gonna kill them. I think she's just
holding them back. I look painful. I won't I won't
lie there.
Speaker 3: But yeah, but yeah, so I I like that, and
I like that she still withheld is like I'm not
going to use my powers on them, which it's a
lot of interesting inner inner tribulation, I guess turmoil, inner turmoil. Yeah,
because she's these are her friends and whatnot, and now
she's just like she did, she's turning on herself and
turning on her morals and turning on our friends by
thinking she needs to do this and needs to stop Cipher.
Because now she's at this point where hey, okay, like
I'm gonna just I'll heal you and you can stop them,
so you can. You know, I don't want you to
use your powers on them, but now I want you
to use your powers on them for my own benefit
and my own games.
Speaker 2: So it's just it's an interesting.
Speaker 1: She's become what she's fighting against, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so's she's gotta be careful with that because
it's gonna bite her in the ass so well.
Speaker 1: And that's why I still think there's gonna be season three,
because I just don't think that Marie's gonna have a
come to Jesus because what's the result. The next week,
they all meet up together and she's like, you know what,
I'm really sure I did this, but I was just
doing that for all of us and the team, and
then everyone's like, yeah, Marie, we completely understand. I feel
like this was showing Marie taking an extra step too
far to do what she's gonna do and kind of
make those parallels to the vaud So that's why I
feel there is going to be season three so you
can give them time to kind of fix their relationship
with Marie, so especially her and Jordan.
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, that that makes sense, I guess I because.
Speaker 1: You couldn't wrap that up next week, right, and if
you did, it feel very rushed unless it's like a
two hour finale, which it won't be. It'll probably be
at most I'm gonna say an hour, but I doubt
even that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's hard.
Speaker 3: I mean the whole theme has been Marie just kind
of ditching her friends, right, I mean that's how the
season started, when they're like, oh, you left us, and
she did again?
Speaker 2: She did again? Here, Yeah, so's.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think you could if you because
when I said, oh, there's gonna be season three, You're like, oh, really,
do you think you can wrap up this group storyline
next week with the you know, good dolphin character walk around?
I don't think. So.
Speaker 2: I feel like you could.
Speaker 3: I do because I if you give us the full
hour and then you can kind of end it on
that cliffhanger where this.
Speaker 2: Stuff will be tied off.
Speaker 3: In the Boys, I feel like one episode of the
Boys where you have a couple of those main Boys
characters and the squad with the college kids, I feel like, okay,
you could have then the gen V characters their stories
kind of flushed out, and you could you could kind
of conclude the things that they've established in season two here,
especially if you get eight episodes.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a lot of stuff to fill. And
with season five with the Boys.
Speaker 3: We don't really know do we know what the kind
of general outline is. I mean we just know they're
trying to kill Homelander, that it's sport.
Speaker 2: They seem to be in.
Speaker 1: A general Homelanders, the goddamn President Press. Yeah, they gottall
it's just to be Yeah, it is kill Homeland.
Speaker 3: So and on top of that, we know that the
virus that kill Soups has been written off. That's not
a thing anymore. So yeah, just kill Homelander, Just kill Homelander. Yeah,
so I feel like eight episodes are just killing Homelander.
I think you could do five episodes of them trying
to get into the White House and eliminating him, and
then three episodes of them with gen V and gen
V's kind of got their stories wrapping up and teaming
up with the boys and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, is there anything obviously we know about this popolarity?
Marie healed him up, so good for him. He's he's
all good to go. H And yeah, that is pretty
uberpower like Adull saving her sister's life, healing his tremors
and seizures. That is, you know, pretty impressive all the
stuff that's going on there. So yeah, no, I got
nothing more to say other than, you know, good for him.
I still worry for him being alive. I still think
that's a character that could make a sacrificial play that sees.
There anything else we missed from this episode? I don't
nothing springs to mind, but for you, anything.
Speaker 2: I really just I liked Polarity.
Speaker 3: I liked how he got healed up and here and
had his moment where he was just coming to terms
with how he treated uh, how he treated like Andre
and how he could have warned him and how things
just could have been different.
Speaker 2: I liked all that a lot. I thought it was
really really good.
Speaker 3: So yeah, no, I'm just I'm I'm excited to see
where that is going to go. And I like that
his power is that he could disrupts ciy for Godalkin
and how he's basically going to really be able to
be a powerful force or tool opposing him. And that
fight scene too, is just really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was tons of fun. That was good, like, oh,
because I can't remember how they explained. They explained some
of the Polarity's power can kind of interrupt the mind
waves that cipher Godalkin's doing. But when he's like, oh, well,
how can you get me if you don't know which
one I am? And then just yeah, and it was
a good It was good editing. And I had Sam
hit Polarity like right away, and Sam's the best character
to do that because he has episodes, right and then
they're oh, no, it's you know, Cipher messing when the
or everything. So that was fun just going back and forth,
and yeah, I know it was a good action scene there.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, what did you think about the guy
coming out of the dude's ass?
Speaker 1: You know, that's fine. I will applaud this show for
I said before that I think you can only do
the gross out humor, you know, guy fucking the holes
or all that stuff so much in the show is
where it becomes then it becomes too close to parody
and that. But at the same time people want that.
But I think with some of these issues going on,
I think I like the method of what they've done
this season where you get those but it feels kind
of every couple episodes then we go back and do
something there, so it kind of works. Uh you know,
obviously it's just kind of random, so I could see
someone not liking it, but that's just part of the
boys gimmick, you know, the gross out sex stuff, you know,
And yeah, I don't I don't need any uh vouchers
that way. Looks pretty painful to get a whole person
up your ass, But I don't know, I don't have superpowers.
Maybe it's be something easy. But yeah, that's no pun intended,
a shitty way to be a pledge. Just live in
someone's asshole for you know, weeks on end.
Speaker 3: So you know this is the deep uh you know,
his his way of going about it, right.
Speaker 1: I could believe it. So maybe I would say, don't
join that fraternity. You know there's someone's out there probably
so they don't care about you. So yeah, no, that's
all I got for this episode.
Speaker 2: You that's all I got.
Speaker 1: There, you go. So we will be back next week
for the finale, hopefully lots of breakdown. Maybe I don't know.
I really don't know. I think this finale it's so
interesting because I think with gen V obviously lots of
stuff was going on the Boys, but still like we're
sorry gen V season one, lots of stuff was going
on with that Boys season and in between, but it
didn't feel as it needed to tie in. It was
tying in, but because the way the world is in
The Boys, where Holanders like ruling over everything and he's
pseudo president and the Soups are really just killing normies
and people are scared, this is such a direct of
it's kind of splitting spitting some plates here for other shows, right,
but we'll see. I don't know if it's gonna be
just a big cliffhanger fest. It could also just be
a big any the same thing if it is the
U scoff at season three, if it is season If
this is it, they literally could just kill Codlkin and
then just wrap up all the stories and be off
their race. Right, So it's like, I really don't know
what it's Maybe it's gonna be combo of both, where
some things are handled, some of things are cliffhangers. I
think we'll at least get one more cameo. I don't
know if it will be Homelander, but I think we
kind of said there'd be multiples. But I thought we
said to kind of starting a big one and then
book it like bookend it and obviously start with Starlighter.
I could see Huie maybe if he finds, especially if
people keep saying Homelander in the strongest Homelander or could
kill Homelander or sorry not hughy, sir butcher, if he
gets any word that there is like another Homelander type
killing weapon out there, because I don't know if his
powers could do that. I could see him making the
trip out to help her and maybe in a situation
where all her friends leave her because she keeps leaving
her or leaving them and using them and they don't
like that. If she's alone, perfect time for Butcher to
kind of swoop in and you know, sweet talker in
a sense of, hey, you know, we could make your
life better. Wouldn't be better if you know things weren't
ship people like running things. Well, who's the top of
a right now? That's homelander if you help me, you know.
So there's multiple lines we could go down. I just
don't know what we will be doing. So we'll see
next week. I promise you it'll not be boring.
