The Current Season of The Boys

the_popcorn_podcast
But yeah, that's not the point, not the reason we are here.
00:08:02
Ryan
yeah not yeah
00:08:05
the_popcorn_podcast
We are here to talk about The Boys.
00:08:06
Ryan
without boy
00:08:07
the_popcorn_podcast
And if you guys have listened to our other review, we talked about the first four episodes.
00:08:08
Ryan
you guys have one so
00:08:11
the_popcorn_podcast
So far this season, I think majority of people would be in agreement with me and Ryan.
00:08:13
Ryan
majority
00:08:15
the_popcorn_podcast
It's kind of been disappointing.
00:08:15
Ryan
comedy yeah
00:08:17
the_popcorn_podcast
But again, disappointing in the universe of The Boys franchise and how good the show's been.
00:08:17
Ryan
but again in universe always friends
00:08:22
Ryan
but books but we need for Yeah, it's a good season to tell it's fine it's passable
00:08:23
the_popcorn_podcast
But with all. But in television total, it's still a good season of television. It's just when you put it up against three other amazing seasons, it just doesn't match. yeah so better than Yeah, but again, most television is not as well that we get.
00:08:38
Ryan
yeah yeah
00:08:42
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:43
the_popcorn_podcast
There was an elementary.
00:08:45
Ryan
No, I've heard it's funny, but I don't know.
00:08:46
the_popcorn_podcast
and sure I never got into it. My whole family likes it. well last like
00:08:49
Ryan
The last like ABC sitcom I watched was the Goldbergs.
00:08:50
the_popcorn_podcast
and bc
00:08:53
Ryan
That was a fun show.
00:08:54
the_popcorn_podcast
Early season of the Goldbergs.
00:08:55
Ryan
Yeah.
00:08:56
the_popcorn_podcast
I miss modern family family.
00:08:56
Ryan
Yeah. Early seasons. Our family was always good.
00:09:00
the_popcorn_podcast
But again, we're getting off track already.
00:09:01
Ryan
I've heard, Sheldon is incredible.
00:09:03
the_popcorn_podcast
It's amazing. Love young Sheldon.
00:09:05
Ryan
Have you watched it?
00:09:05
the_popcorn_podcast
Yes.
00:09:06
Ryan
Okay.
00:09:07
the_popcorn_podcast
Love it.
00:09:07
Ryan
love it Because I know we're both a lot of people hate on Big Bang Theory.
00:09:08
the_popcorn_podcast
i know we're both people hear Which I don't get it.
00:09:12
Ryan
I don't I don't get is funny There's a lot of lines that'll be like oh, but majority of the show is fine.
00:09:12
the_popcorn_podcast
I find it so funny.
00:09:17
the_popcorn_podcast
but majority the show Maybe it's because we're just more in the like that kind of stuff.
00:09:19
Ryan
there the foring Yeah nerd No, yeah now but back yeah college school
00:09:22
the_popcorn_podcast
The nerdy side, not the smart, intelligent part, because that's not us. I meant more like the superhero stuff and all that. But back into the boys, do you want to do you have any quick thoughts you want to go talk about before we get into the actual episode?
00:09:34
Ryan
um
00:09:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Breaking it down.
00:09:39
Ryan
I don't think so.
00:09:39
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't think so.
00:09:39
Ryan
um Yeah, like Tom said, the season's kind of been a subpar as a whole so far.
00:09:42
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, at times that the season has kind of been so far as a whole so far.
00:09:48
Ryan
And seeing as how there's only three episodes left, you know, I'm not sure what's going to happen from here on out and if it's going to be, you know, worth it to make a whole season of
00:09:48
the_popcorn_podcast
and seeing how there's only three episodes left. I'm not sure what's going to happen from here on out. I know it's going to be worth it to make a whole season of not much happening at all, which kind of sucks.
00:10:00
Ryan
Not much happening at all, which kind of sucks, but I don't know.
00:10:02
the_popcorn_podcast
But maybe it'll leave up to a good season five series finale.
00:10:03
Ryan
Maybe it'll lead up to a good season five and series finale. Um, but let's get into the episode, episode five, something about a jabber walkie and whatever.
00:10:07
the_popcorn_podcast
But let's get into episode five, something about a Milwaukee whatever. and i wanted i wanted to have tried to play the jarova
00:10:16
Ryan
Beware the jabber walking my son or the jabber walk.
00:10:20
the_popcorn_podcast
It is titled beware of the jabberwock my son job find numbers like cause i with the jaerwa who could some like isn't expecting like a fucking drag why ah maybe it'd be some I didn't even know what a jabberwock was I
00:10:23
Ryan
were What do you say? Um,
00:10:30
Ryan
<unk> I didn't understand the title because I thought with the Jabberwock, it was going to be something like big. I wasn't expecting like a fucking dragon, but I thought maybe there'd be some big monster. It's from like the old, the poem, maybe not poem, but like the short story that Alice in Wonderland is kind of based off of something, something about a Jabberwock.
00:10:43
the_popcorn_podcast
ah poem
00:10:49
the_popcorn_podcast
something but ja
00:10:51
Ryan
It's like a big monster. I don't really remember. I read it when I was in like seventh grade, maybe.
00:10:55
the_popcorn_podcast
i read it afraid maybe
00:10:58
Ryan
Seven somewhere between seventh grade and freshman year of high school.
00:10:58
the_popcorn_podcast

00:11:01
Ryan
I don't remember at all. So Yeah but Yeah oh Yeah it It was like v52 yeah, I mean it was a spoof on Disney it was a d50 something like that Yeah, I don't remember Yeah
00:11:06
the_popcorn_podcast
um But yeah, going through the actual episode, but oh it opens with pretty much vault showing off that they're at their Comic Con. kind of like event E3 kind of they kind of blended it all yeah so I didn't know what Disney as well yeah DS 50 or whatever no DD yeah but they're just spoofing all of that and then they really started pi making fun of Disney like like I said faces 9 through 17
00:11:27
Ryan
They're just proving all of them. And they really started to be made fun of Disney. The good line was like, we're going to explain all of these in exhausting detail. telling is Yeah. Yeah. It's perfect.
00:11:40
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, but yeah, it was, it was fun.
00:11:41
Ryan
Um, but yeah, it was fun.
00:11:43
the_popcorn_podcast
to That's when the boys is at their best when they're doing like, when they're just parodying other things, not when they're.
00:11:43
Ryan
That's that when they're doing like, when they're carrying other things. Yeah. Not when they're, I don't know.
00:11:50
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't know. It just, it feels so bland this season, especially for the boys, which just sounds crazy.
00:11:51
Ryan
It feels so good to end with this feeling, especially when boys sound crazy.
00:11:57
the_popcorn_podcast
And this episode definitely they like, they got more of that like shock value to it again.
00:11:57
Ryan
and this earth got you yeah
00:12:01
the_popcorn_podcast
But I didn't really care for it because it to me it was shock value that I saw coming.
00:12:01
Ryan
but i didn't really yeah and me so
00:12:07
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, not like there was times early in the boys like first three seasons that things would happen.
00:12:07
Ryan
yeah not like respond earlier crazyy Yeah Yeah, IGN's review said it was predictably, predictably unpredictable, which is a good, I think that's a good way to put it.
00:12:12
the_popcorn_podcast
Like I was not expecting. You said it was predictably, predictably unpredictable, which is good. I think that's a good way to put it because the whole time you're like, yeah, something's going to happen.
00:12:20
Ryan
Cause the whole time you're like, yeah, something's going to happen and then something happens.
00:12:23
the_popcorn_podcast
Something happens.
00:12:24
Ryan
You're like, all right.
00:12:24
the_popcorn_podcast
You're like, all right. I didn't see that coming, but I guess that's the point.
00:12:25
Ryan
I didn't see that coming, but I guess that's the point.
00:12:28
the_popcorn_podcast
do something
00:12:28
Ryan
I knew something was coming.
00:12:29
the_popcorn_podcast
Like something crazy is gonna happen here.
00:12:29
Ryan
So it didn't, yeah, it didn't catch me by surprise, but you know, it is surprising.
00:12:34
the_popcorn_podcast
Uh,
00:12:35
Ryan
I suppose that doesn't make any sense, but fuck it.
00:12:36

Uh, and then the whole thing's like,
00:12:45
the_popcorn_podcast
And i I was kind of hoping they would give us an answer because I was so confused on how he got injected with it. And then the whole thing was that it fell out of his pocket.
00:12:54
Ryan
That's it.
00:12:54
the_popcorn_podcast
That's it. That's how it happens.
00:12:55

00:13:00
the_popcorn_podcast
Because we were watching her and that you were watching her the whole scene. and um But yeah, that happens. And you're kind of just waiting to see the effects. Still nothing really has happened. ah Firecracker on the news talks about Starlight's abortion and how she was pressing charges against Starlight for assault.
00:13:13

So, news process, there's a portion of it, actually touching parts of the expo. So, we started to talk a little bit about this wall around.

00:13:55
the_popcorn_podcast

the_popcorn_podcast
But finally, we talked about his last episode that we were waiting for, ah and then to talk to his daughter about getting in that fight.
00:14:48
Ryan
by finally we thought less west that we're waiting and
00:14:57
the_popcorn_podcast
And they finally showed in this episode, she gets to spend two weeks, two weeks.
00:14:57
Ryan
advise
00:15:01
Ryan
Yeah, she did a good job long Yeah, which is something we were wrong about when we reviewed the first four episodes cuz we were saying like I think I think it was me that brought it up we were saying and I don't know how the daughter feels about homelander because she liked the stepdad who liked homelander so I assumed
00:15:02
the_popcorn_podcast
That's a good job ah long suspension. But um I did like that she ended up punching the kick as the kid was saying how great Homelander is. And she.
00:15:14
the_popcorn_podcast
i think i think we <unk> saying don't know how his daughter feels my like and And the mom made it sound like she did like Homelander.
00:15:23
Ryan
The money she did yeah, so I wasn't like wrong about that, but we got a little more clarification now that the daughter is Not a fan of home later.
00:15:25
the_popcorn_podcast
wasn't like yeah
00:15:29
the_popcorn_podcast
is yeah we still forget yeah
00:15:32
Ryan
We still forget their names, but Sorry, oh oh yeah yeah, I completely forget already Joe
00:15:33
the_popcorn_podcast

00:15:42
Ryan
mama
00:15:43
the_popcorn_podcast
ah No, uh, Jeffrey DeMoure. Yeah, Joe Kessler. That's what I thought I ever have written down, right? Uh, Joe and Butcher talk about Cadulkin and the virus that kills Supes.
00:15:52
Ryan
jump i
00:15:55
the_popcorn_podcast
And Joe then tries to convince Butcher that they should do the mission, just them.
00:15:55
Ryan
and
00:15:59
the_popcorn_podcast
Shouldn't invest in, yeah, do it with the boys because the boys, as he says, kind of suck.
00:16:01
Ryan
yeah so
00:16:05
Ryan
We
00:16:06
the_popcorn_podcast
And I don't know why the boys get so much hate from anyone that like talks to them.
00:16:09
Ryan
may do decent sometimes.
00:16:10
the_popcorn_podcast
I feel like they do pretty well.
00:16:13
the_popcorn_podcast
A bunch of normal people with, I guess, two soup pairs.
00:16:16
Ryan
yeah
00:16:16
the_popcorn_podcast
But then, I mean, they hold their own, killed a couple of soups.
00:16:19
Ryan
so Most of the time, yeah.
00:16:21
the_popcorn_podcast
Wait, how many of they actually killed? Is it still only the invisible?
00:16:24
Ryan
Trains losing.
00:16:27
Ryan
I mean, they've killed more than that, but certainly. I mean, Butcher just killed Gabriel.
00:16:31
the_popcorn_podcast
bush introduce to build dam Ezekiel.
00:16:35
Ryan
Ezekiel. Ezekiel, that's what I meant.
00:16:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. Oh, and the one that, the one that can morph. You know, like multiple versions of himself that we also saw this season.
00:16:39
Ryan
and like do we Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:16:42
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, no, they have killed, but now none of them, like the bigger ones have died.
00:16:43
Ryan
I mean, they've killed a couple. Yeah.
00:16:46
the_popcorn_podcast
The only one of the biggest ones dies, Black Noir.
00:16:46
Ryan

00:16:48
the_popcorn_podcast
And.
00:16:49
Ryan
Yeah.
00:16:49
the_popcorn_podcast
He they didn't even do it. That episode following Black Noir might be my favorite episode of the show.
00:16:51
Ryan
that's too long Yeah.
00:16:54
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah.
00:16:55
Ryan
don't remember, but like show how we that was before, wasn't it?
00:16:55
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, when they went like animated and they show how he ended up the way he was by Homelander. That was a while ago. No, I mean, that was before Homelander and Gill Black.
00:17:05
Ryan
No. I mean, that was before home later, kill black noir. yeah and oh I thought you said that the episode after.
00:17:07
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, I said that I did all I was saying is that's all my no, I'm saying that's just one of my favorite episodes of the show um yeah um we also see later on a little bit later yeah carianss be but way his sam not whatever the fuck i said was I didn't think I didn't think you said it mean I
00:17:13
Ryan
Oh, okay. Yeah. No, that was one.
00:17:19
Ryan
We also see later on, a little bit later on, that the ah the Guardians of Gedolcan, by the way his name is Sam, not whatever the fuck I said it was last episode. oh i I said something, I don't remember what it was.
00:17:34
the_popcorn_podcast
i said so it
00:17:36
Ryan
Um, and what was it? Emma?
00:17:37
the_popcorn_podcast
Sam and Kate.
00:17:38
Ryan
Kate.
00:17:38
the_popcorn_podcast
Kate, that's what it was.
00:17:38
Ryan
That's what it was. I suck with names.
00:17:39
the_popcorn_podcast
We see them come out.
00:17:40
Ryan
Um, we see them come out. I think Kate had both arms.
00:17:44
the_popcorn_podcast
I think Kate had both arms.
00:17:45
Ryan
I was trying to look, but
00:17:46
the_popcorn_podcast
I was trying to look,

Sam and Kate's Role with the Guardians

00:17:47
Ryan
it looked like she had both arms.
00:17:47
the_popcorn_podcast
but it looked like. Yeah, it was quick. I couldn't even tell.
00:17:49
Ryan
Yeah. And then we also got Sam's there.
00:17:50
the_popcorn_podcast
And then we also got Sam there.
00:17:52
Ryan
So we know Sam is not playing black noir, which was something I disagree with, but I brought it up a little theory.
00:17:52
the_popcorn_podcast
So we know Sam is not playing black or which was something. Yeah. Well, a little theory theory.
00:17:59
Ryan
So that's not true.
00:17:59
the_popcorn_podcast
So that's not true.
00:18:00
Ryan
Um, yeah, it's, it's cool to see them home later, obviously trying to bring him in a little bit more.
00:18:01
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, it's cool to see them later, obviously, trying to bring them in a little bit more.
00:18:06
Ryan
We're about to get invaded by my dad.
00:18:09
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, but yeah, then after Joan Butcher talk, they butcher goes back to the boy's office and is questioned about how he killed Ezekiel, which of course could have been taken 100 different ways because they might just think he's lying because that's kind of what Butcher does.
00:18:10
Ryan
But, yeah, then after the butcher talk, then you push her back to the police office and there's a question back that we couldn't see here, which, of course, couldn't take up a little bit of weight because they learned the same line. That's kind of what it does.
00:18:27
the_popcorn_podcast
um And they tell the boys about the soups killing virus and how they have to steal it back from Newman.
00:18:27
Ryan
And they told the police about the series of gun fighters and how you can steal that. and
00:18:32
the_popcorn_podcast
And we see get to see the boys reactions to What was with the wide eyes?
00:18:37
Ryan
what spell of voice
00:18:38
the_popcorn_podcast
They can see all the boys reactions ah to the soups.
00:18:41
Ryan
to
00:18:43
the_popcorn_podcast
ah The soup killing virus.
00:18:45
Ryan
killing by Jesus, dude.
00:18:46
the_popcorn_podcast
And we know that Frenchie doesn't think it's a real thing.
00:18:49
Ryan
does a
00:18:51
the_popcorn_podcast
ah As Ryan, you want to say what you were thinking? I think you were just noting that, you know, Starlight and Kamiko kind of have me little blanks because they're superheroes, which.
00:18:55
Ryan
I was just noting that, you know, Starlight and Kamiko kind of have a little glance because they're superheroes, which would kind of suck for them if the superhero killing disease got out and fucking killed them.
00:19:02
the_popcorn_podcast
kind of sub jaam if the superhero killing disease got out oh so
00:19:07
Ryan
So, you know, they're not too fond of that plan, but they do go along with it because if it is a way to kill a Homelander, it's one of the very few they're ever
00:19:08
the_popcorn_podcast
you they're not too fond of that plan ah you go along if it is away until
00:19:17
the_popcorn_podcast
the very few they ever

Different Batman Portrayals

00:19:18
Ryan
going to have.
00:19:18
the_popcorn_podcast
goingnna have so they got one can possibly yeah I feel like any like no matter how dangerous it could be for anyone else, if you can find a way to kill homeland, it's worth it.
00:19:18
Ryan
So they got to jump on everything they can possibly get. like like i'
00:19:28
Ryan
Yeah, you got to take it.
00:19:29
the_popcorn_podcast
It's worth whatever calls it takes. Like what Ben Affleck is Batman said there's even a 10% chance we have to take it as an absolute Yeah, big brain bring yeah thought That's what they have to do though He's with the probably one of the smartest Batman Yeah, but there's I mean was there eight live-action Batman it's probably number two
00:19:35
Ryan
Yeah.
00:19:38
Ryan
Yeah. Okay. Big brain. Yeah, totally. That's.
00:19:45
Ryan

the_popcorn_podcast
ah Huey sits with his parents as they talk about their honeymoon in Hakopoko, however you fuck you say, the place where they went.
00:23:14
Ryan
I don't remember. I don't
00:23:16
the_popcorn_podcast
um and It was a really nice scene because you see Huey, he hasn't had a mom in his life forever.
00:23:20
Ryan
remember. Yeah.
00:23:21
the_popcorn_podcast
For what, since he was 11 I think he said.
00:23:22
Ryan
Mm-hmm.
00:23:23
the_popcorn_podcast
but I don't remember but it was really I just liked the scene because it felt nice for Huey, especially I'll talk about later I'm trying to get really annoyed with someone that they're doing with Huey, but Yeah, then the mom goes to the bathroom and we see that Hugh ah Huey senior Hugh he um Starting to forget things and you can tell Huey knows that's probably just a side effect of the compound V.
00:23:24
Ryan
But. But he was really, I just like to think he felt nice to you. I'm trying to get a really good tone of his viewing. But, yeah, it all depends on how he's met me. I see that he was a TV senior. yeah so yeah you talk you
00:23:48
Ryan
Yeah Yeah, which was interesting that while they explained it like V is always given to living people.
00:23:49
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah Yeah, which was i this one but he's always giving a living to So if you bring it, what does that do to you?
00:23:56
Ryan
So if you're brain dead, what does that do to you?
00:24:00
the_popcorn_podcast
Not great stuff, because I guess she's brain was already so fucked up and didn't really repair it.
00:24:00
Ryan
Not great stuff because I guess she's brain was already so fucked up. It didn't really repair it They just kind of woke him up and he was still pretty fucked up.
00:24:05
the_popcorn_podcast
It just kind of woke him up and he was still pretty fucked up.
00:24:08
Ryan
So Yeah, I mean I think all the stuff with you his dad and parents together It felt like
00:24:08
the_popcorn_podcast
So, yeah, I mean, I think all this stuff with you is dad and parents together. It felt like, it felt unnecessary.
00:24:17
Ryan
It felt unnecessary.
00:24:19
the_popcorn_podcast
i don't know I don't know if mom's going to stay in the show, but if she does, what's she going to do?
00:24:19
Ryan
like i don't know I don't know if the mom's going to stay in the show and if she does, what's she going to do? like you know yeah Bring Simon Pegg back just to have some cool scenes with a little bit of gore and some you know fun superhero shenanigans where he's just teleporting and killing people.
00:24:25
the_popcorn_podcast
Like, you know, you bring time and time back just to you know, fun superhero shenanigans, or he's just teleporting and killing people.
00:24:36
Ryan
Not teleporting, but yeah just killing people on accident.
00:24:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Not teleporting, but... Facing. Yeah, and just killing people on accident.
00:24:40
Ryan
you know It's something for Huey, a little emotional thing, and you get
00:24:40
the_popcorn_podcast
You know, it's something for Huey, a little emotional thing, and you get the hate towards him posing to Starlight, which...
00:24:46
Ryan
The hint towards him proposing to Starlight, which but kind of came out of nowhere.
00:24:52
the_popcorn_podcast
keep or but on
00:24:53
Ryan
But you know, I understand his mom just, you know, the the line was funny. He's like, his mom just goes, you're gonna lock that shit down.
00:24:57
the_popcorn_podcast
this mom just goes you a lock that shit down
00:24:59
Ryan
That was funny.
00:24:59
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah
00:25:00
Ryan
um But yeah, and I don't see the mom being a character in the rest of the show.
00:25:01
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah even while
00:25:06
Ryan
I don't.
00:25:06
the_popcorn_podcast
There's no what's the point if she's in the show?
00:25:07
Ryan
Yeah, she's going to leave again, so I don't know I felt like the parent stuff that was happening over the last two episodes is just kind of Meh, it was kind of just kind of useless busy Yeah because i getting like just can tell i was fine Yeah
00:25:09
the_popcorn_podcast
i don't i feel like
00:25:16
the_popcorn_podcast
it kind of No, I do agree. Yeah, I just I did like I like getting I like the small scene though to like just he you could tell it was fine. He was like happy again. Yeah, because he hadn't had his parents to together.
00:25:29
Ryan
yeah
00:25:29
the_popcorn_podcast
But I I don't get the whole point of it doing it in this season because I feel like all it does is take Huey out of the main overarching story.
00:25:30
Ryan
but don't get ultimately actually all me Yeah, totally.
00:25:38
the_popcorn_podcast
But and also like It's like it's an emotional thing for Huey, but it's not really important.
00:25:38
Ryan
And then also, like what does that lead him to do? Because it's like it's an emotional thing for Huey, but it's not leading him towards anything. It's not like A-Train gave him bad V and now he hates A-Train or something like that.
00:25:46
the_popcorn_podcast
It's not like a be bad
00:25:51
Ryan
it's you know Everything went according to Huey's plan, and his his original plan that he backed away from.
00:25:52
the_popcorn_podcast
know everything
00:25:55
the_popcorn_podcast
leave
00:25:58
Ryan
but I don't know.
00:25:59
the_popcorn_podcast
um
00:25:59
Ryan
It's not leading him to do anything. So it just kind of felt like it was filling time and just taking QE away from all the rest of the boy stuff.
00:26:01
the_popcorn_podcast
you just kind of so
00:26:04
the_popcorn_podcast
It's a voice I would like to see Huey react to like the sheep and all that shit
00:26:08
Ryan
Yeah. so community yeah yeah
00:26:12
the_popcorn_podcast
But, uh, after that, we see the rest of the boys go up to the farm to look for the virus.
00:26:13
Ryan
but um right always look about
00:26:17
the_popcorn_podcast
And instead they find a lab where they've been testing, testing the 10 V and the virus on animals.
00:26:17
Ryan
from has and b
00:26:22
the_popcorn_podcast
We see that Newman shows up and they kind of had to work together to try and find out where the rest of this, where the virus, uh, went like the vials of the virus.
00:26:24
Ryan
and they come out to work good and find out
00:26:33
the_popcorn_podcast
And we get a little break from that.
00:26:33
Ryan
and yeah little break
00:26:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Cause then we get to watch the trailer for training a train.
00:26:38
Ryan
Yeah, it's still so funny How's
00:26:40
the_popcorn_podcast
so Dude, and then the scene of the deep where they're talking about how stuff changes depending on who you- Oh my god. So uncomfortable.
00:26:49
Ryan
terrible oh my god i love
00:26:50
the_popcorn_podcast
That was horrible. I thought it was gonna be a bigger thing than what it was.
00:26:54
Ryan
So did I, but still it's now so fucking racist as shit.
00:26:54
the_popcorn_podcast
sort of so yeah Like a cheap drink.
00:26:57
Ryan
What was it? It was an IPA and then turned in a peach cognac. like Yeah.
00:27:05
Ryan
Yeah.
00:27:05
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah Uh, and then we go to behind the scenes of this whole event.
00:27:06
Ryan
Little on the nose. then behind
00:27:12
the_popcorn_podcast
And Ryan is being told he's getting his own teen TV show and that they were going to do a Q and a with Adam, but he doesn't want to.
00:27:12
Ryan
and ro
00:27:15
Ryan
and
00:27:18
Ryan
adam
00:27:20
the_popcorn_podcast
He has no desire to do the TV show. And home lender actually supports this decision.
00:27:23
Ryan
and
00:27:25
the_popcorn_podcast
It's not normal, normal thing,
00:27:27
Ryan
Not a normal thing. No, not a normal thing, but.
00:27:31
the_popcorn_podcast
but, uh, what was the next line?
00:27:34
Ryan
Oh, and then he pretty much did this.
00:27:35
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, and then he pretty much convinces Adam and like he Adam gives him his wallet.
00:27:37
Ryan
And he was like, he had a black hammocks
00:27:40
the_popcorn_podcast
He's do his Jaguar and everything. I'm still so Ryan still says no. We then go.
00:27:46
Ryan
too.
00:27:47
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, black Alex.
00:27:48
Ryan
The real deal.
00:27:49
the_popcorn_podcast
ah Following that, we have Ryan and Homelander walking and talking and Homelander talks about how he had never spoken to his own mind.
00:27:51
Ryan
following that we have writing from letter walkingca authority and so like yeah and
00:27:57
the_popcorn_podcast
He'd always been told where to be, when to be there, what to do.
00:27:57
Ryan
<unk>
00:28:00
the_popcorn_podcast
And he doesn't want that for Ryan.
00:28:00
Ryan
he doesn't want that ferra
00:28:01
the_popcorn_podcast
He wants Ryan to be his own person in charge of himself.
00:28:01
Ryan
um Yeah, I think all the slavery talk was a little unnecessary.
00:28:06
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:07
Ryan
for home like um But yeah, I, I thought that was
00:28:09
the_popcorn_podcast
But yeah, I thought that was

Ryan and Homelander's Complex Relationship

00:28:13
the_popcorn_podcast
interesting.
00:28:13
Ryan
interesting.
00:28:13
Ryan
Again, like I put it in my notes.
00:28:13
the_popcorn_podcast
Again, I put it in my notes.
00:28:16
Ryan
ryan is such an inconsistent character throughout the entire show is that is that just me who's kind of like am i missing something or does ryan make sense to everybody else because i don't know sometimes he's like really doesn't like homelander and then you see in the next episode and he's like dad what are we doing like some episodes end with him like
00:28:17
the_popcorn_podcast
Ryan is such an inconsistent character throughout the entire show. What? have is it Isn't it just kind of like- I me. I don't know. Sometimes he's like, really doesn't like being linear. and you see the next steps episode be's like and what didn't you go like someone so
00:28:39
Ryan
looking off the homeland or being like, I, you can see in his eyes, it's like, I don't trust you at all.
00:28:40
the_popcorn_podcast
see that
00:28:43
Ryan
In the very next episode, he's like, dad, why are people mean to me?
00:28:43
the_popcorn_podcast
the bur dad why are people
00:28:48
Ryan
And he's like, well, just pick a side.
00:28:48
the_popcorn_podcast
like one <unk>
00:28:50
Ryan
He's always kind of like jumping back and forth.
00:28:51
the_popcorn_podcast
we He's a kid.
00:28:53
Ryan
Yeah.
00:28:53
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah but hes that I mean, I bet he was 14.
00:28:53
Ryan
But he's not like that young anymore.
00:28:57
Ryan
yeah it's so Tough shit, dude.
00:28:57
the_popcorn_podcast
It's a hard time to be a kid, especially when
00:29:03
the_popcorn_podcast
Why would he want to be a butcher?
00:29:03
Ryan
Go up.
00:29:05
the_popcorn_podcast
It's not his dad.
00:29:05
Ryan
Well, you saw earlier, you saw earlier. It's his mom's husband.
00:29:08
the_popcorn_podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:29:10
Ryan
His dad raped his mom, so it's not nice.
00:29:11
the_popcorn_podcast
But he doesn't know that.
00:29:13
Ryan
He shouldn't know that.
00:29:14
the_popcorn_podcast
How would he know that?
00:29:14
Ryan
How did you know that? I'm surprised Butcher didn't tell him at some point, because he was with Butcher for a little bit.
00:29:18
the_popcorn_podcast
surprise he was with monsterster girl a Yeah. so But no, like I don't know.
00:29:22
Ryan
You chose Butcher. Well, no. I mean, it's hard.
00:29:26
the_popcorn_podcast
I feel like it's just hard for him because probably having Homelander because Homelander doesn't do anything horrible in front of him.
00:29:28
Ryan
I probably had him when I was younger. It's when I just drank all of his wine. Yeah.
00:29:33
the_popcorn_podcast
Like you killed the one guy, but even Ryan didn't really care about that. And it seemed like, but I don't know.
00:29:36
Ryan
yeah but
00:29:38
the_popcorn_podcast
I think it's more, he has the power.
00:29:38
Ryan
is over yeah
00:29:40
the_popcorn_podcast
So now he has someone that can help him with that, but then um he connects more butcher like emotionally.
00:29:40
Ryan
ah yeah
00:29:43
Ryan
normal butcher motion
00:29:45
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't know.
00:29:45
Ryan
yeah it's awkward it's all just been
00:29:46
the_popcorn_podcast
It's a hard, it's a hard decision for him. Probably.
00:29:48
Ryan
He just, he's, I don't know.
00:29:49
the_popcorn_podcast
just i don't know he's always been time
00:29:51
Ryan
He's always been kind of like inconsistent to me.
00:29:53
the_popcorn_podcast
Have you ever went uh went to bed one night with your parents like did you ever get in trouble your parents sending you to your room and you're like freaking out in your room just like Yeah, that's why he's doing you flip on your parents then but it's just on a smaller scale Yeah,
00:29:56
Ryan
Yeah.
00:29:59
Ryan
freak yeah yeah yeah course to be therapy you flip where your parents name which is on a small scale ah agreey Agreed but I feel like 14 is probably like and we're guessing that he's 14 might be a little older because he got the keys to the jaguar so maybe he's Yeah, I don't know He's just always been kind of odd to me just just some of the decisions he makes throughout the throughout the show as a whole I
00:30:10
the_popcorn_podcast
we could be younger Yeah, I don't think that means anything they would have given that eight-year-old those keys Um
00:30:26
the_popcorn_podcast
some that decision
00:30:31
Ryan
always jumping around a little bit in my opinion, but not to say that the actor is bad.
00:30:33
the_popcorn_podcast
but to say that
00:30:34
Ryan
I like the kid, but yeah, I do wonder what happened.
00:30:37
the_popcorn_podcast
don worry
00:30:38
Ryan
The original kid though. Remember the end of season one.
00:30:40
the_popcorn_podcast
the
00:30:41
Ryan
It's a completely different guy for Ryan.
00:30:43
the_popcorn_podcast
For what it's a different kid really yeah ah He was 11 at the start of the bullies I think they said I think it's like a year the whole show takes place over a year or two Yeah, 13 14
00:30:45
Ryan
different yeah yeah yeah
00:30:58
Ryan
there
00:31:00
the_popcorn_podcast
um following that sequence so to oh a scene that i actually did really like and this was again this was newman and stand walking and uh they were walking and talking on the farm they're ahead of the group a little bit uh they talk about the farm the virus and zoe being injected of course with the serum and then newman kind of gets mad at edgar and talk about you were never trying to protect me you were embarrassed by me you were and all these other things she thinks that he was just embarrassed of her not trying to protect her
00:31:01
Ryan
follow the advanced keywords. Oh, see, now I actually did a little bit of this one again. This was new, and it's a walkie-talkie thing. They walkie-talkie in a car. They're a hamper a little bit. They go from a car to a virus, and so you can check before you get to zero. And then you, I think, gets made out of here to talk about it. You were never going to have to be terrified of your keywords. And all these other things. things
00:31:31
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't know. Probably a little bit of both.
00:31:33
Ryan
Yeah, I think he I mean, guy like that's always just overprotective dad.
00:31:34
the_popcorn_podcast
but
00:31:40
Ryan
And I don't know.
00:31:42
the_popcorn_podcast
You don't want your kids to get hurt, especially if they're different.
00:31:43
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. But also, was she injected with V because she was adopted?
00:31:45
the_popcorn_podcast
but also wish she objective you I guess her original parents are not injected.
00:31:50
Ryan
She is. It must have been her original parents. But I don't remember. I don't remember what happened to her parents.
00:31:54
the_popcorn_podcast
remember Yeah, I'm like,
00:31:56
Ryan
I don't remember if they even said it. They could have said nothing. Yeah, I don't know. Or
00:32:00
the_popcorn_podcast
No, I think he just adopts her. yeah
00:32:01
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, she has adopted because she did all of her backstory was that she was in that, you know, yeah, same one, the girl from Gen V was.
00:32:02
the_popcorn_podcast
is she The home, the same one that. and jim bes yeah um Then my next line is compound, the chickens and all caps.
00:32:10
Ryan
Yeah. that like calm down means and all
00:32:15
the_popcorn_podcast
They go into the farm.
00:32:15
Ryan
yeah yeah As soon as Butcher let that bony out, I was like, that bony is going to destroy the world.
00:32:18
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, I like that point.
00:32:20
Ryan
catch
00:32:21
the_popcorn_podcast
So dead. I thought it was going to go through the door.
00:32:22
Ryan
i was go an earth story
00:32:23
the_popcorn_podcast
and You're just going to hear something, grab it. But I did like ah
00:32:26
Ryan
and didn like
00:32:30
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, my God. What's her name? The other girl in the boys.
00:32:31
Ryan
yeah
00:32:33
the_popcorn_podcast
Starlight and Kimiko.
00:32:34
Ryan
Mikko.
00:32:35
the_popcorn_podcast
I like when she like looks at him and she like smiles because she knows that he sells a good heart, even though.
00:32:39
Ryan
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:32:39
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, yeah, because he does.
00:32:40
Ryan
Yeah.
00:32:41
the_popcorn_podcast
And then they so was they say like, you're a motherfucker, but you're a motherfucker with a heart. Yeah.
00:32:44
Ryan
Yeah, yeah know um here i
00:32:45
the_popcorn_podcast
But yeah, so we know that Butcher has good inside of him. He just doesn't like to let it out. um But yeah, compound beat chickens. It's pretty much straightforward.
00:32:53
Ryan
yeah
00:32:53
the_popcorn_podcast
And it was supposed to be again, it's the boys.
00:32:54
Ryan
supposed to even again little shock yeah it's what you expect.
00:32:56
the_popcorn_podcast
There's going to be this little shock value things. I did like that they were bulletproof.
00:32:59
Ryan
ah did like yeah
00:33:01
the_popcorn_podcast
Cause it was funny watching them get shot. Um, and I do love, I never even thought about, I love when Newman's eyes like turn white when she like uses a patch.
00:33:08
Ryan
Mm hmm. Yeah, it is.
00:33:09
the_popcorn_podcast
I was finding it so cool.
00:33:10
Ryan
It is cool. great I mean, she is.
00:33:11
the_popcorn_podcast
Great power. First off, I would choose that one. That'd be a cool one. I mean, she is, you didn't want her to kill Gomes.
00:33:17
Ryan
You do wonder if she can kill Homelander because we haven't seen her that I can remember like make his nose bleed or anything.
00:33:19
the_popcorn_podcast
Cause we haven't seen her that I can know. Has she killed a soup?
00:33:22
Ryan
she goes I mean, I'm sure she has. She there definitely could.
00:33:26
the_popcorn_podcast
Like I wasn't sure like if our powers don't work as well against the soups.
00:33:29
Ryan
She definitely can.
00:33:30
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah.
00:33:30
Ryan
At least one that's not bulletproof, like Sister Sage or something like that, cause she can probably kill.
00:33:30
the_popcorn_podcast
At least one that's not bulletproof. Like sister's name is probably the other one. Our whole thing about...
00:33:36
Ryan
whole thing
00:33:39
the_popcorn_podcast
Are you bulletproof superhero or non-bullproof superhero?
00:33:39
Ryan

00:33:42
the_popcorn_podcast
And I also realized the ones that are bulletproof don't have like armor.
00:33:42
Ryan

00:33:47
the_popcorn_podcast
They all wear like soft clothing.
00:33:47
Ryan
oh yeah yeah don't need except mave but yeah but sure she was one Yeah, but I think she's bulletproof she was getting lit up pretty good
00:33:49
the_popcorn_podcast
But the other ones have like armor on them.
00:33:53
the_popcorn_podcast
She bulletproof? No. No she's not. Thought she I thought she was like Wonder Woman thought she had to use this things scan let ah no she not we only yeah cause the She's gone remember that was like the whole thing she wanted out
00:34:02
Ryan
Although I know she got the only reason yeah, cuz the only way she got hurt remember she got like half her face fucking torn off that was when she dove with um ah Holy soldier boy and she he took her powers away. I don't know what happened to her. two I Know she is alive, but I want to see her come back because she you know Yeah, but I, you know, come on.
00:34:25

Ryan
She might come back.
00:34:27
the_popcorn_podcast
She got her happy ending. she can go back
00:34:29
Ryan
Yeah, but she could come back with the boys and, you know, she doesn't have powers anymore, but she can help.
00:34:31
the_popcorn_podcast
power No, she's gone.
00:34:33
Ryan
She knows things.
00:34:34
the_popcorn_podcast
I think she's gone.
00:34:34
Ryan
She knows plenty of things.
00:34:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Maybe maybe in the final scene, if they like get homeland or a little bit and they need like help people to like vouch for them, you'll see her come back.
00:34:36
Ryan
may
00:34:41
Ryan
Yeah, but I mean, she's probably having a happy life.
00:34:41
the_popcorn_podcast
But she's probably yeah, she's living her best life right now.
00:34:45
Ryan
ready but
00:34:46
the_popcorn_podcast
I seen that another scene I did like in this episode was when Sister Sage and Firecracker are talking in the like
00:34:51
Ryan
are talking
00:34:52
the_popcorn_podcast
the The sevens like office, but they're me.

00:35:01
Ryan
It's kinda not, it's pretty cloudy, but.
00:35:04
the_popcorn_podcast
But I did like the scene when they're pretty much like shit talking each other, but it's like in a small whisper.
00:35:05
Ryan
when they much shits on detail Yeah.
00:35:09
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. But yeah, I was like seeing the people argue when they have to kind of like look like that.
00:35:09
Ryan
but Yeah. i was like italian look there's
00:35:13
the_popcorn_podcast
They're not arguing, but they're saying some horrendous things to each other.
00:35:16
Ryan
yeah
00:35:17
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. I wonder if I want to know if Sister Sage is actually bad.
00:35:20
Ryan
only notes mr sayings actually
00:35:24
Ryan
I mean, she's not good.
00:35:24

Because she does some things in this episode later that we'll get to That you can definitely tell that maybe she isn't as bad as we think she is I mean
00:35:27
Ryan
yeah definitely tells I don't know. I think, I think she's, I think Homelander, I think she sides with Homelander for the like the soup superior race thing. they are but Yeah, they are, but you know, it's very bad for us.
00:35:40
the_popcorn_podcast
they are superior. I mean, I don't know why people see that's like they are superior yeah they are yeah He can shoot lasers out of his eyes. Yeah is wife

We're like the the home. Yeah the home with all the shitty superpower kids. You didn't see that one. It's so funny i know that you so It's a good episode Yeah The one it's like a I think it's the guys that did Rick and Morty because it's that like animation style
00:36:09
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, that'd be really cool um and it Oh It's so good the show
00:36:17
Ryan
Yeah, the diabolical is great. um But yeah, it's like a home for kids with shitty superpowers.
00:36:19
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah it's sort of a home for the shoot super
00:36:22
Ryan
Like this one guy whose face is just an ass. It's one guy with like a speaker for a head.

Ryan
There's one guy that's just a puddle. fit
00:36:30
the_popcorn_podcast
That's a that's a rough one um

Newman and Starlight's Identity Clash

00:36:33
the_popcorn_podcast
After the scene with sisters a firecracker ah We go back to the farm where Newman and Starlight are talking about dual personalities and be having to be able to keep their cool and then Newman starts to get a little bit too deep and Talks about that the star they even know the difference between what's her actual name?
00:36:33
Ryan
after
00:36:37
Ryan
longer time
00:36:43
Ryan
so and will be often ah so
00:36:50
Ryan
any and
00:36:51
the_popcorn_podcast
Annie or Starlight because she said they're two separate.
00:36:53
Ryan
she said
00:36:54
the_popcorn_podcast
They need to be two separate people when and she was like, you don't even know who Annie is.
00:36:54
Ryan
any
00:36:57
Ryan
Yeah, everything stuff not pun shit i yeah um I mean that was kind of like so like I Don't know I mean starlight's just pissed off in general but Yeah the um
00:36:58
the_popcorn_podcast
And then Annie's response, which seems to be her new response to everything, is to not punch the shit out of Newman. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, that was I didn't even see all the thing. I think she said was that bad. Like Newman.
00:37:15
the_popcorn_podcast
And she's having a rough couple. Yeah. um
00:37:20
Ryan
I do want to, because Starlight especially is one of those people with like, does she have an alter identity?
00:37:20
the_popcorn_podcast
and do want starling especially is one of those people she answer try that you could shoot they don't hide
00:37:27
Ryan
Because you they don't hide their faces at all.
00:37:29
the_popcorn_podcast
They don't it's very weird to me there was that one scene in the first Yeah, but like, you know, I don't know it's kind of that like Clark Kent asking thing we're like, oh you don't recognize
00:37:29
Ryan
Like, how does she? Like, yeah, there was that one scene in the first season where she's kind of like walking. Remember, she saves that girl, gets in trouble for it. But like, you know, I don't know. It's it's kind of that like, Clark Kent-esque thing where like, oh, you don't recognize Clark Kent. These guys don't even like change their hair or wear glasses or anything.
00:37:46
the_popcorn_podcast
These guys don't even like keep their hair. Yeah, like Clark Kent. Did you see?
00:37:48
Ryan

00:37:49
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, we didn't talk about that.
00:37:49
Ryan

00:37:50
the_popcorn_podcast
We didn't talk about that last episode.
00:37:50
Ryan
come in
00:37:51
the_popcorn_podcast
the All the set photos look fucking do Mr.
00:37:52
Ryan
yeah look good fuck it social everything i i Yeah, pumped for that um Yeah, I mean you do see homelander earlier when he saw kind of when he first meets with sister sage with like the ball cap But I don't know.
00:37:55
the_popcorn_podcast
Terrific. I I had the biggest smile on my face seeing him. Oh, my God. He looks I love the look for Clark Kent. Yeah, I'm all in. I mean, you do see. You saw him on the first week of the stage, like the Hall of Fame. But I can't imagine there really is that much legacy.
00:38:10
Ryan
I I can't imagine there really is that much of like a secret. I Yeah, remember when he meets with sister sage he's walking in with like a ball cap and I'm regularly closed
00:38:13
the_popcorn_podcast
Wait, we saw him out of this. so money
00:38:21
the_popcorn_podcast
I Thought when he shows up to her house, he's in a uniform like he's homelander.
00:38:23
Ryan
no no
00:38:25
the_popcorn_podcast
Are you sure?
00:38:26
Ryan
hundred percent
00:38:27
the_popcorn_podcast
Huh?
00:38:28
Ryan
100%. That would be funny if he's in full uniform and just the bulk out.
00:38:31
the_popcorn_podcast
That For a second, that's why I thought it no, but but see that ruins it No, if we see him ever again, I need him a short sleeve shirt because I need to see him really skinny.
00:38:31
Ryan
He's like, I'm hiding. No, he's wearing regular clothes. oh again That would be funny.
00:38:40
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah
00:38:41
Ryan
Yeah. like little bit Is busy he?
00:38:42
the_popcorn_podcast
Cause I love that it is canon that he is bone thin scrawny. Yeah.
00:38:46
Ryan
Yeah.
00:38:47
the_popcorn_podcast
They show it in the boys, the show.
00:38:47
Ryan
was totally before sheri
00:38:48
the_popcorn_podcast
You see it in the mirror.
00:38:49
Ryan
see
00:38:51
the_popcorn_podcast
When he's saying naked on the couch, his arms are like bone thin.
00:38:51
Ryan
Do you?
00:38:53
Ryan
I don't remember that.
00:38:54
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. As soon as like stuff in it, he's not like, yeah.
00:38:55
Ryan
Well, I know it does, but I don't remember that.
00:38:58
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah.
00:38:58
Ryan
yeah see it in the sharking off house has I don't remember that, but I mean, I believe you because that'd be funny.
00:38:58
the_popcorn_podcast
It's, you see him in the mirror. He's jerking off and Allison, is that any Ashley, Ashley walks in.
00:39:09
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, while you're looking that up, I'll continue. Uh, we eventually do see the rabbit, that butcher. tell that' that
00:39:15
Ryan
It's not from the show. That's a funny set photo.
00:39:18
the_popcorn_podcast
I love Anthony store.
00:39:20
Ryan
and welcome be question Yeah, he's great.
00:39:22
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, I was like, said Oh, we do see the rabbit, the butchered release early, but we found it and it is dead.
00:39:24
Ryan
oh
00:39:27
Ryan
and
00:39:28
the_popcorn_podcast
And it has some crazy creature trying to break out of the rabbit's body.
00:39:28
Ryan
okay
00:39:32
the_popcorn_podcast
And it lay look like the scene from alien, the way it came out.
00:39:32
Ryan
and
00:39:35
the_popcorn_podcast
I think just burst.
00:39:36
Ryan
Yeah, but it does answer what's like going through butcher.
00:39:36
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah And then those answer it's the same bands in him.
00:39:39
Ryan
Yeah.
00:39:39
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah.
00:39:40
Ryan
My question was that, is it just like a size thing that it hasn't come out of butcher yet?
00:39:43
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. put yeah
00:39:44
Ryan
Or is it still, can he like control it in some way?
00:39:45
the_popcorn_podcast
so all yeah I guess his, maybe he does have a little bit control over it.
00:39:50
Ryan
I don't know. But it'll be interesting to see what that actually does if it just kills you and pops out or if you can control it.
00:39:54
the_popcorn_podcast
kills human pops out Well, I'm wondering if when he blacks out it came out and killed Ezekiel yeah right um Then we go back to the Comic Con event we see a train telling um Ashley that he is the one who leaked the footage and if he goes down she is going to go down with him and Then she's like, but I don't want to be a rebel.
00:39:56
Ryan
any sort of way
00:40:01
Ryan
Yes, I didn't think that that's probably true. But I don't know.
00:40:07
Ryan
um
00:40:17
the_popcorn_podcast
He's like She's like, all I did was shit in his toy.
00:40:18
Ryan
an audit
00:40:19
the_popcorn_podcast
And he's like, you've done much, much more than that.
00:40:21
Ryan
yeah
00:40:22
the_popcorn_podcast
And yeah. And so Adrian's really fully in on trying to take down Homelander now.
00:40:23
Ryan
so trying really ahead i'll try to dig
00:40:28
the_popcorn_podcast
And maybe it is by himself at this point, and even if it's not working with the boys, fully working with the boys.
00:40:28
Ryan
and move
00:40:33
Ryan
yeah I mean I still think he's Going to side with the boys at some point.
00:40:34
the_popcorn_podcast
mean i
00:40:38
Ryan
I think he's gonna fully turn at some point, but I don't know I don't know how soon that'll be But
00:40:43
the_popcorn_podcast
He's going to get mopped. I already know how that's going to happen.
00:40:46
Ryan
super speed like if I've always thought super speed is the most like
00:40:47
the_popcorn_podcast
like i always is most But if he's like Superman Superman's also super fast As much as I hate Joss's leak and I do it is in the Snyder cut though That's even the flash is running and Superman looks.
00:40:51
Ryan
he's like Yeah, so I don't know it'll be interesting It is cool, yeah, and there's a little race at the end although like the end of the movie it feels like unearned Yeah, but look yeah because it'll be fun you won't be like
00:41:02
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh my god, so fucking cool and the that like end of a movie Yeah, like in this one it will if they do in the James Gunn universe, I just have a feeling it will make more sense and work better Yeah it won't be like
00:41:17
Ryan
why are they doing this now
00:41:18
the_popcorn_podcast
Why is his lip look like that?
00:41:19
Ryan
yeah
00:41:21
the_popcorn_podcast
Now getting to where I think this i'm episode kind of drags for me a little bit, and I don't know if other people feel this way.
00:41:21
Ryan
now best
00:41:26
the_popcorn_podcast
I think you do because of the way you talked about it earlier.
00:41:28
Ryan
group
00:41:28
the_popcorn_podcast
But then Hughie comes back to the hospital room and his dad is gone and his mom does thought she he was with her.
00:41:32
Ryan
dad is gone um and
00:41:36
the_popcorn_podcast
he The dad was with Hughie the whole time, but he really wasn't.
00:41:36
Ryan
dad
00:41:39
the_popcorn_podcast
And then they find him in another room and he's just staring at a wall.
00:41:39
Ryan
and they find Why are they doing this now?
00:41:42
the_popcorn_podcast
And as Hughie moves closer, he sees that he actually had killed another patient and he doesn't realize anything that he's done.
00:41:45
Ryan
any doesn't one I think it was a doctor, but it doesn't really matter.
00:41:50
the_popcorn_podcast
a patient
00:41:51
Ryan
Pretty sure it was a doctor.
00:41:52
the_popcorn_podcast
ah the worse the gon
00:41:54
Ryan
I thought it was like a shirt, like, you know, doctor shirt, white.
00:41:54
the_popcorn_podcast
was doctor Maybe it wasn't my head it was a patient.
00:41:58
Ryan
it wasn't I mean, it doesn't matter, but yeah.
00:42:00
the_popcorn_podcast
i mean It doesn't he killed someone He can't remember anything and then he faces through a wall and then when he unfreezes he's inside of another human being i blows them up Mm-hmm
00:42:04
Ryan
and camera wall and so yeah That was as soon as that guy was talking. I'm like, Oh my God. Why do we even have to sit there and listen to him talk for like 10 seconds? There's no, yeah yeah, I don't know.
00:42:17
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, what was the point of his one line? You just wasted money to pay that guy more money because he talked.
00:42:22
Ryan
Yeah. He was just hitting on the nurse for 10 seconds and then.
00:42:24
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't even know if it was ten seconds.
00:42:27
Ryan
Yeah.
00:42:27
the_popcorn_podcast
He got like four words in.
00:42:30
Ryan
yeah
00:42:30
the_popcorn_podcast
um at that part you know Oh, I mean like for the rest of the episode when he when that stuff happens.
00:42:30
Ryan
but You're right. That, that part kind of dragged because he knew what was going to happen it eventually.
00:42:37
Ryan
Yeah. I think, I think a little bit.
00:42:39
the_popcorn_podcast
um
00:42:41
Ryan
Oh.
00:42:41
the_popcorn_podcast
Oh, and then after that, we do see that he eventually does, uh, Huey and Daphne do fine.
00:42:42
Ryan
and
00:42:45
Ryan
ah excuse me Just a few seconds while he was going to pick up a few things.
00:42:46
the_popcorn_podcast
I mean, he just keeps saying how he needs to go pick up Huey so he can take him to go get his, uh, tech then, uh, tech night.
00:42:49
Ryan
So he came to do his tachnite.
00:42:53
the_popcorn_podcast
Is that, yeah, tech night doll.
00:42:53
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Tachnite, that And as he gets closer to our obstacle, that was just a laser.
00:42:54
the_popcorn_podcast
And he's like, it's a doll. He's like, it's not an action, but yeah. Um, and then when he sees Daphne though, he does, he realized who it is, his ex-wife who had left and it kind of puts him into a rage. And as he gets closer, a cop steps out with just a taser, which I don't know what he thought that was going to do.
00:43:09
Ryan
I don't know if he felt that was going to do it. I don't know.
00:43:11
the_popcorn_podcast
And he punches a hole through the come take his heart.
00:43:11
Ryan
And he punches over and goes, oh, I'll do it. Yeah, it was fun.
00:43:16
the_popcorn_podcast
um After that, we do see Sam and Kay, as Ryan said, they do return for this episode and they're talking about their new a comedy movie called Flipped, where it's a body switching comedy.
00:43:18
Ryan
After that, you see Sam and Keanu rising to return to the substitute. And the trouble that they do, probably, you know, it's Sam going to get after it?
00:43:29
the_popcorn_podcast
And how is Sam going to be an actor?
00:43:32
Ryan
I don't know, man.
00:43:33
the_popcorn_podcast
oh um and you kind of
00:43:36
Ryan
In fact, it's really important, you know, that, it's really, actually, it's important, is when Ryan, so it's no longer that he wants to help people, he doesn't want to just do these fake scenes.
00:43:37
the_popcorn_podcast
It's really a quick scene and all that. It's really the next scene that's important is when Ryan tells Homelire that he wants to help people. He doesn't want to just do these fake saves. He wants to be an actual superhero, which I did like.
00:43:45
Ryan
He wants to be an actual superhero. which i
00:43:47
the_popcorn_podcast
I like that he actually wants to help people.
00:43:49
Ryan
yeah
00:43:49
the_popcorn_podcast
And of course, be him, his father, being who his father is, that doesn't really happen.
00:43:52
Ryan
father
00:43:55
the_popcorn_podcast
So, the PA, who is being made and conquered by Adam, who we already know Adam has done a lot of bad things in front of people.
00:43:55
Ryan
so yeah
00:43:58
Ryan
have
00:44:01
Ryan
Yeah It's one of the funniest characters though, he just has those like off the cuff lines, it's just so funny So
00:44:03
the_popcorn_podcast
so glad He made the Schneider cut, that was his movie. all The seven directors cut, whatever they say it was. um So then Adam has him apologize. It didn't really work.
00:44:15
Ryan
like
00:44:16
the_popcorn_podcast
So then Adam makes him get on his knees and apologize. And then it doesn't work even more.
00:44:18
Ryan
it does work
00:44:20
the_popcorn_podcast
So then Homelander whispers him something and Adam smiles right away.
00:44:22
Ryan
very
00:44:24
the_popcorn_podcast
And he lets the PA beat the shit out of Adam, just slapping the shit on him.
00:44:24
Ryan
and less yeah slaten the
00:44:30
the_popcorn_podcast
And it goes on for a while.
00:44:30
Ryan
it goes
00:44:32
the_popcorn_podcast
And yeah.
00:44:33
Ryan
It's good.
00:44:33
the_popcorn_podcast
Good. good I was happy.
00:44:35
Ryan
I mean, he deserves it, but yeah.
00:44:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Mm hmm. yeah So I don't know if he's ever going to be a true superhero, but he tried.
00:44:38
Ryan
um
00:44:41
Ryan
Yeah. He tried his best.
00:44:44
the_popcorn_podcast
No, I think he's
00:44:45
Ryan
No, I think that is the one thing about Ryan. like he He's not like Homelander where he can have those moments.
00:44:49
the_popcorn_podcast
not. He can have those moments. We've seen our lead to be more controlling kind of and thatly god iing like But it seems like Ryan genuinely wants to know people.
00:44:53
Ryan
We've seen Homelander kind of teaching him to be more controlling. Kind of had that like godlike thing like homelander does that god complex but at the same time I do think ryan genuinely wants to help people Because I think he still has being raised by his mom who was a good person.
00:45:06
the_popcorn_podcast
think we still being
00:45:09
Ryan
I think he does want to help people but also When it comes to bad people, I think he's like homelander like he's not gonna care.
00:45:09
the_popcorn_podcast
thank you But also When it comes to that people, I think he's like humbling It's not gonna kill two people You
00:45:17
Ryan
I think he's gonna get pretty brutal if that so yeah Yeah three Stormfront his mom and the Well, eventually she does yeah, but yeah, you fucked up right bad Being
00:45:29
the_popcorn_podcast
didn't kill stormfront she doesn't die
00:45:34
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. What puts her in a hospital? um After that, we get a scene about where Frenchie and Starlight talk about God and how they believe. So they talked about how it's hard for her to believe. And French is a full believer in everything except for being able to have his sins washed away, which doesn't make sense to him because he's dealing with a lot of his own issues right now with all the people he's killed and all stuff like that.
00:45:49
Ryan
washed away a lot of
00:45:58
the_popcorn_podcast
Following that, we see a bull that is all hopped up on V.
00:45:58
Ryan
following that
00:46:03
the_popcorn_podcast
And it gets killed by flying killer sheep.
00:46:03
Ryan
kill that line first
00:46:05
the_popcorn_podcast
You did hear that correctly, if you guys didn't watch the show yet.
00:46:05
Ryan
did hear that correct yeah Yeah that was fun.
00:46:11
the_popcorn_podcast
Again, I kind of just wanted them to just do this stuff, find their stuff in this one.
00:46:11
Ryan
again just kind
00:46:15
the_popcorn_podcast
I was kind of looking forward to seeing maybe like more stuff about Butcher's Bug and stuff.
00:46:18
Ryan
more excited about booksho Yeah, don't know I I thought the the crazy animal like the beat up animals I thought that was a fun concept.
00:46:20
the_popcorn_podcast
But I don't know, I thought the craziness, you know, I thought that was the point I was at.
00:46:25
Ryan
I just wish they kind of lean me into it more and I think you in the pool Yeah, I don't know I thought it was I thought it was really fun But at the same time it goes back to what Huey was doing in the hospital Like if they took that out and love Huey with the boys They could have had more time with that and just had more fun with it But I feel like because they had so much shit going on outside of that they had to take time away from it
00:46:25
the_popcorn_podcast
I just wish they kind of were. I would like to spin the bull do some crazy shit i thought was but the same time of goes he that out could have been more Yeah outside of
00:46:47
Ryan
and just just kind of hurt the episode and what it could have been.
00:46:51
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, because if they're going to talk about the animals, I would have liked to seen how it affects different animals like the sheep.
00:46:51
Ryan
yeah because tur covid yeah like how ah she
00:46:55
the_popcorn_podcast
They can fly now. What does it do for the bull? The bull that did because the bull just got picked up and ripped the bar right away.
00:47:01
Ryan
yeah
00:47:02
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. But then we see with the chickens, it makes them bulletproof.
00:47:02
Ryan
but
00:47:04
the_popcorn_podcast
like It gives them all these powers. So it would have been cool to see actual like why they act like this.
00:47:06
Ryan
so what do we what is actual like why
00:47:10
the_popcorn_podcast
Or maybe just explain a little bit more.
00:47:10
Ryan
i mean oh um
00:47:12
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't know.
00:47:12
Ryan
I don't think I needed explaining.
00:47:13
the_popcorn_podcast
I'm not going to explain it.
00:47:14
Ryan
I think it just needed more more action to it.
00:47:14
the_popcorn_podcast
I think more more actually could get more.
00:47:17
Ryan
Just more have fun with it.
00:47:18
the_popcorn_podcast
Just have fun with it like that.
00:47:19
Ryan
like that's that's part That's one of the greatest parts of the show is that sometimes a random soup will show up and just have crazy powers and they just have like a whole scene trying to figure out how to take them down.
00:47:20
the_popcorn_podcast
ah sport greatest sponsor for the show sometimes it will show up and just crazy power to figure out
00:47:30
the_popcorn_podcast
and that happens in this i mean it's just now Yeah, and I don't know if it's that we're getting used to it So it doesn't make it as good as it was or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be We then learned that Samir is Zoe's father
00:47:30
Ryan
And that happens in this, but it's it's just not as good as it used to be.
00:47:34
Ryan
Yeah. You know what I mean? and't need it time
00:47:40
Ryan
yeah We then learned that Samir is his own father, and they tried to pass a card.
00:47:45
the_popcorn_podcast
And they try to test the virus on, I think I said hamsters.
00:47:48
Ryan
Oh, and I think it's at the camp station.
00:47:51
the_popcorn_podcast
And that's pretty much what led to all of this.
00:47:51
Ryan
And this approach led to all of this. And they only had one dose last week, at least the entire thing on that farm, arguing, trying to figure out what to do.
00:47:54
the_popcorn_podcast
And they only have one dose less, which leads to the entire, everyone in the barn, arguing with each other, trying to figure out what to do. And right away, I liked the idea of injecting the one dead body and just putting it out there.
00:48:01
Ryan
And right away, I looked at him and tapped him into one dead body and just put it out there.
00:48:05
the_popcorn_podcast
And then, of course, Butcher didn't like that idea because Butcher wants to use it.
00:48:05
Ryan
And then with what you're going to look at, I did push him to use it. And eventually, that's when
00:48:09
the_popcorn_podcast
And eventually, that's when ah M.M.
00:48:12
Ryan
and
00:48:12
the_popcorn_podcast
says that Butcher is not a bad person.
00:48:14
Ryan
but
00:48:15
the_popcorn_podcast
He is a motherfucker and he is a motherfucker with a heart.
00:48:16
Ryan
yeah yeah
00:48:18
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. And this leads them to actually doing that and throwing the body out there with the the new virus inside of it.
00:48:20
Ryan
doing the body out there new fire
00:48:25
the_popcorn_podcast
So maybe that they can lure the sheep to it.
00:48:27
Ryan
Yeah, I do think it was kind of a cop out that Samir is just like, yeah, we lost the rest of it, but I had this one, you know, like it's just, I don't know.
00:48:27
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, I do think it was like, yeah, we've all stood up, but I have this one, you know, I don't know.
00:48:36
Ryan
There should have been more to what happened with the rest of the virus, like how it got destroyed or lost.
00:48:36
the_popcorn_podcast
There should have been more to What happened with the rest of the virus and how it got destroyed Yeah, like did one of the animal like did those sheep break down just to show yourself like Yeah, it was kind of a thought out to just be like It's gone.
00:48:42
Ryan
so steve Yeah, I don't know it was kind of a cop-out to just be like It's gone But I have this one left that we need right now specifically, you know Yeah, exactly you me What
00:48:49
the_popcorn_podcast
They only we have this one left We need right now I'm a guffam. Yeah, and then we go back to Daphne and here we Oh What the fuck Oh Like I think I just wrote things out of order.
00:49:07
Ryan
got
00:49:09
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, yeah, we see Huey senior cry after Huey talks about how he is.
00:49:10
Ryan
yeah cry
00:49:14
the_popcorn_podcast
You're my hero dad and all this stuff. And it was kind of a drag down scene that I kind of just wanted to end.
00:49:19
Ryan
Yeah, totally.
00:49:19
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, totally.
00:49:21
Ryan
Uh, I agree.
00:49:21
the_popcorn_podcast
Uh, I think it just, like we thing for Huey to have, but it's not going to help the rest of the show.
00:49:22
Ryan
It just, like we said before, it kind of feels like it's leading to nothing and just some emotional thing for Huey to have, but it's not going to help the rest of the show. And I don't, I don't see how it will.
00:49:33
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, yeah, but then we go back to the
00:49:34
Ryan
Um, yeah, but then we go back to the

The Virus's Potential Against Homelander

00:49:37
Ryan
the farm and we finished that up and they get the, the sheep get sick and die, which fun, fine.
00:49:37
the_popcorn_podcast
farmar ship that up ah get
00:49:42
the_popcorn_podcast
We see the virus we everyone gets to see finally that the virus does work Yeah,
00:49:43
Ryan
say Yeah. you know But I do want to know how Butcher was able to get Samir.
00:49:50
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah how was he able to do that and get them away well that was all happened
00:49:50
Ryan
Yeah.
00:49:53
Ryan
I don't know.
00:49:54
the_popcorn_podcast
we able line down the next episode what happened
00:49:54
Ryan
It just kind of happened. I doubt it. I think it's just it just happened, but it just kind of like, I don't know.
00:49:57
the_popcorn_podcast
think it
00:50:02
Ryan
It seems like a very tough thing.
00:50:02
the_popcorn_podcast
it seems like a better tough thing it happens all here
00:50:04
Ryan
It happens off camera, but
00:50:06
the_popcorn_podcast
why
00:50:07
Ryan
but it's not very long
00:50:07
the_popcorn_podcast
It's not very long in between them leaving the barn to when everything ends.
00:50:08
Ryan
now Yeah, exactly.
00:50:11
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah so time can What I did like was that M.M.
00:50:11
Ryan
Yeah. So I don't know how we did it that fast, how he was able to sneak in and get away with it. so
00:50:18
the_popcorn_podcast
does retract Edgar's pardon because he's like, well, we didn't get the virus.
00:50:19
Ryan
and
00:50:22
the_popcorn_podcast
So sucks to suck.
00:50:22
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:24
the_popcorn_podcast
And that doesn't last last very long because on his way back to prison, Edgar's driver head explodes and Newman is at the window next to Edgar with teary eyes.
00:50:27
Ryan
Yeah. and new
00:50:30
Ryan
and you
00:50:33
Ryan
yeah
00:50:34
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. Back of all headquarters, Homelayer asked asked everyone in the seven plus Sam and Kate, what does it mean to be a hero?
00:50:35
Ryan
jack at what theyper from there
00:50:42
the_popcorn_podcast
And then they're like, oh, that he's like, that's war. And then he starts going off on a whole thing that that's not what they are.
00:50:47
Ryan
that's not
00:50:47
the_popcorn_podcast
They're going to be gods and they're going to rule with wrath and anger and all this stuff.
00:50:51
Ryan
and Yep, then in comes Tucker Carlson and I've no idea but it's that's who he is but this is why i think i new Oh Yeah, she's on one but Yeah, no, she's absolutely on him I think
00:50:53
the_popcorn_podcast
Then he comes.
00:50:56
the_popcorn_podcast
What's his actual name? I don't remember. But this is what I was saying about Sister Sage. I think she knew that a train did it. oh But she's like, whatever, we'll just say. And then we know that Ashley is the one to put it on his phone to actually make him.
00:51:11
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. She's absolutely on to at least Atrium, probably Ashley too.
00:51:14
the_popcorn_podcast
absolutely all sure
00:51:17
Ryan
But I i think my my issue with Sister Sage right now is that she is the smartest person in the world, which is it's the fine superpower to have.
00:51:18
the_popcorn_podcast
i think like my issue with sister stager now is this morning world which is find some
00:51:25
Ryan
It's, you know, it could be interesting.
00:51:28
the_popcorn_podcast
Are the writers not smart enough to show it?
00:51:28
Ryan
Are the writers not so not smart enough to show it? like it's it's It's the same thing with like any smart character who's just like, oh yeah, I know this because I know it and I'm smart.
00:51:31
the_popcorn_podcast
It's the same thing with a big smart character who's just like, oh yeah, I know this because I know I know I'm smart.
00:51:38
Ryan
She hasn't like shown any...
00:51:38
the_popcorn_podcast
She hasn't really shown, I like the scene of her trying to figure out what it is.
00:51:40
Ryan
I'd like to see a scene of her... like trying to figure out how it is. I don't need some fucking crazy detective board where she's like piecing it together, but just like show a scene of her thinking it through and like talking to somebody about it.
00:51:44
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't need some fucking crazy detective board where she's like piecing it together, but just like show scene of her thinking it through and talking to somebody about it, maybe just show her how she's the step ahead of everybody.
00:51:52
Ryan
Maybe just show her how she's the step ahead of everybody. They haven't, they haven't shown that yet.
00:51:57
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, all they've really done is show like she's smart enough to know how these outcomes will be.
00:51:57
Ryan
Yeah.
00:52:00
Ryan
I don't
00:52:02
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. And, but that's, again, that's what PR people do.
00:52:04
Ryan
know. Yeah.
00:52:05
the_popcorn_podcast
Normal people have done that for people.
00:52:06
Ryan
yeah
00:52:06
the_popcorn_podcast
It's not something that the smartest person wants us to do.
00:52:09
Ryan
It just feels like she's she keeps getting the answers, but we're never shown how I feel again You just need to show at least one scene of her thinking things through because that would just that would just help us It would help show how she's the smartest person You know besides just saying it over and over
00:52:09
the_popcorn_podcast
It just feels like she keeps getting them. I feel like you just need to show at least one thing for thinking things through because that would just, I would just help us. It would help show her how she's the smarter person, you know? Yeah.

Huey's Victim Portrayal Frustration

00:52:25
the_popcorn_podcast
i don't We're not getting anything out of her being it um, and as we said the guy they blame is the guy who host bakan and Homelander then says he wants to see everyone's wrath and you hear him getting the shit kicked out of him and his head smash and Exactly the sound I was talking about when we I was first doing the short phone I said the sound of watermelon being hit with a hammer It's the exact sound I meant
00:52:25
Ryan
because I don't hate that she is I just hate that we haven't Yeah, we haven't seen out.
00:52:29
Ryan
I don't
00:52:30
Ryan
know um host and so
00:52:42
Ryan
exactly
00:52:45
Ryan
so Yeah, it's fun. exactly Yeah.
00:52:50
the_popcorn_podcast
um After that, we see Huey has to put his dad down ah to save him from having to live his life in prison mental so and to protect just anyone else out in the world.
00:52:51
Ryan
yeah and see haven prison anyone else
00:53:02
the_popcorn_podcast
i
00:53:03
Ryan
ah
00:53:03
the_popcorn_podcast
i get This would have made more sense to me if he hadn't killed the guy two episodes ago.
00:53:05
Ryan
this would make
00:53:10
the_popcorn_podcast
Cause at least he's like the first person he's killed.
00:53:10
Ryan
that
00:53:12
the_popcorn_podcast
He's had to make a tough decision like that. But now he's killed someone already leading into the situation. We've seen him make tough decisions.
00:53:17
Ryan
you know
00:53:18
the_popcorn_podcast
So this wasn't the first time. Cause they keep talking about his dog, they his cat he wouldn't put down.
00:53:20
Ryan
they of jar Jar Jar fucking goddamn Yeah so it's a fall this one yeah for
00:53:24
the_popcorn_podcast
Jar Jar. But we've seen him make tough decisions like this. So this isn't new. So it just felt like, I don't know, like this would have been useful seasons ago for him to make it if this was a bigger deal. My point that I want to make is what can we stop torturing Huey and the boys?
00:53:40
Ryan
stop
00:53:42
the_popcorn_podcast
Why is everything that's bad happened to Huey?
00:53:42
Ryan
why is it everything Yeah,

Joe and Butcher's Virus Plan

00:53:45
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, it feels like they always try to be like always getting tough now.
00:53:45
Ryan
it it feels like they they always try to make him to be like, oh, he's getting tough now.
00:53:49
Ryan
But i'm getting not yeah, I don't know.
00:53:50
the_popcorn_podcast
But then some bad happens, he's destroyed. Yeah, I don't know.
00:53:53
Ryan
I think him being like the, the scared characters is should be over with because it's a little more.
00:53:53
the_popcorn_podcast
I think him being like, scar should be other way It's a little worn out and he he shouldn't be that Yeah, he like just ran from homelander like he was able to get that close and feel himself mountain
00:53:59
Ryan
Yeah, exactly. And he just, he shouldn't be that way anymore. you just radical Yeah. Yeah. He says it himself early. Like he, his mom has some why so calm. He's like, i've I've done this before. And he, you know,
00:54:11
the_popcorn_podcast
And I get crying, because this is your dad. It's more like, why is it always Huey?
00:54:13
Ryan
more why
00:54:15
the_popcorn_podcast
Like, let Huey be the one that helps someone for once instead of being the person in distress.
00:54:17
Ryan
yeah
00:54:21
the_popcorn_podcast
In the final scene of the episode, we see Joe and, well, we see a car pull up back up to the farm, and it is Joe and Butcher.
00:54:23
Ryan
what we see part with look that are
00:54:27
the_popcorn_podcast
And they go in the room, and that is where Samir was.
00:54:27
Ryan
and
00:54:29
Ryan
was
00:54:30
the_popcorn_podcast
And as Samir and I were talking about, Butcher was on the cash, and we somehow cut off his leg and captured him and hit him, and got back to the group in that small amount of time.
00:54:33
Ryan
so come
00:54:36
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. a
00:54:41
the_popcorn_podcast
And yeah, he's good.
00:54:41
Ryan
and yeah
00:54:42
the_popcorn_podcast
They're going to force him to make more of the virus.
00:54:43
Ryan
gonna make with fire yeah
00:54:45
the_popcorn_podcast
So, and then hit Joe and Bush had this weird smile at the end.
00:54:45
Ryan
and then
00:54:49
Ryan
Yeah, I don't know.
00:54:50
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah. Yeah.
00:54:51
Ryan
So I don't hate that.
00:54:51
the_popcorn_podcast
so
00:54:52
Ryan
Like they're going to get more of the virus, which they, they need to get.
00:54:54
the_popcorn_podcast
fire
00:54:56
Ryan
That's, that's their plan, which isn't, it's not bad. I think that's a good way for the show to go good direction. So I don't know. We'll, we'll see how well that goes.
00:55:03
the_popcorn_podcast
you know
00:55:04
Ryan
I think some of my other questions from the show is that from this episode,

Starlight's Fading Powers

00:55:08
the_popcorn_podcast
who stole power
00:55:08
Ryan
what's going on with starlight's powers?
00:55:10
Ryan
Cause she's, I don't think it's that she's losing them, but maybe it's like a spiderman three thing where you heard two where he's stressed out losing them.
00:55:11
the_popcorn_podcast
um think you remember them maybe it's like
00:55:17
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, like it's kind of stage fright for like superheroes Yeah
00:55:20
Ryan
Yeah, so i don't I don't know maybe that She'll have to work that out. But she's going to have to figure it out quick because not having her power is going to be tough, especially taking out Newman if that thing works with blinding her.
00:55:30
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah mostly taking out if thing works with blinding her, because that would be important.
00:55:35
Ryan
Because that would be important. Because like you were saying before, like it's cool how her eyes go like milky.
00:55:36
the_popcorn_podcast
Because like you were saying before, like it's cool how her eyes, you know, like milky, maybe that is how her models work.
00:55:40
Ryan
Maybe that is how her powers work.
00:55:42
the_popcorn_podcast
Maybe, because obviously she doesn't have to steep them because she's, you know, on the floor, she makes an ugly, she doesn't have to begin to be who, which is what people thought to begin with.
00:55:42
Ryan
Because obviously, she doesn't have to see them because she's you know on the floor above them. And she makes her noses bleed. She doesn't have to be in view. um Which is what a lot of people thought to begin with but she doesn't have to apparently um But don't know maybe if she can't use her eyes somehow she can't use her powers I'm i'm not sure but she's gonna have to use that at some point.
00:55:53
the_popcorn_podcast
But she doesn't have to, apparently.
00:55:58
the_popcorn_podcast
But I don't know, maybe. use her eyes so much you can use power
00:56:04
the_popcorn_podcast
gonna have
00:56:05
Ryan
So getting her powers back will be very very useful So she's gonna have to figure that out soon Yeah
00:56:06
the_popcorn_podcast
getting your power Yeah. yeah oh Yeah, I don't know.

Season Setup and Plot Resolution Issues

00:56:13
the_popcorn_podcast
I'm just kind of what you were saying.
00:56:13
Ryan
um just wait
00:56:14
the_popcorn_podcast
What do we have?
00:56:14
Ryan
yeah
00:56:15
the_popcorn_podcast
Two of his three episodes left.
00:56:16
Ryan
yeah
00:56:17
the_popcorn_podcast
It it feels like thats there's so much that needs to be like set up because I don't even know where the final season is going to be now.
00:56:18
Ryan
so like
00:56:22
Ryan
<unk>t even know excuse
00:56:24
the_popcorn_podcast
Like what what's going to be set up at the end of this season to set up a whole nother season we're going to have.
00:56:26
Ryan
so the end
00:56:29
Ryan
yeah
00:56:30
the_popcorn_podcast
Because right now it seems like we're kind of running out of, like they kind of ran out of stuff to do to set up this season.
00:56:30
Ryan
ran out you like the kind of this And are we getting Gen B season two before season five?
00:56:37
the_popcorn_podcast
and we' getting
00:56:39
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah they said This is supposed to lean the Gen B season too. Yeah.
00:56:39
Ryan
Yeah, that's what I thought because they said
00:56:43
Ryan
Yeah, which I don't know it makes sense because obviously Gen V kind of lead led into this season a little bit because they talk about the dolkin and stuff like that to keep bringing it up and they have those characters back But we haven't seen the good kids from that yet.
00:56:44
the_popcorn_podcast
Which makes sense because obviously. j b little bit talk
00:56:55
the_popcorn_podcast
we have
00:56:57
Ryan
So Yeah,
00:56:58
the_popcorn_podcast
yeah Because we know that they are going to kill off. Yeah.
00:57:01
Ryan
yeah I forget his name the guy that yeah
00:57:02
the_popcorn_podcast
Chase Perdomo's character. Yeah. I thought they're going to recast them with them. They all kind of the directors and the writers and the creators all came to conclusion that they they just can't recast them.
00:57:08
Ryan
yeah
00:57:12
the_popcorn_podcast
So they're going to find a way to kill them off in season two.
00:57:14
Ryan
Yeah, it's probably going to be some like testing thing because we see that the end of that show they're in like a some sort of medical place because they all counts on.
00:57:15
the_popcorn_podcast
It's probably. Because we see that. Some sort of medical. Yeah, it looks like that it looks like the bedroom for a home letter.
00:57:23
Ryan
it Yeah. Yeah. So it's probably going to be like they're testing something and that he's the first one they tested on and he died, and ah which that's fine.
00:57:26
the_popcorn_podcast
So it's probably going to be like they're testing something that he's the first one to test. Which that's fine.
00:57:32
Ryan
I think that's a good, good enough way to kill them off.
00:57:32
the_popcorn_podcast
I think that's a good enough way to call. Um, cause that's what we're going to be doing.
00:57:35
Ryan
Um, cause that's what they're going to be doing. So yeah, I don't know, but it's going to be cool if they show up maybe at the end of the season, maybe the boys in the finale break them out and they go on their own adventure and Gen B season two.
00:57:37
the_popcorn_podcast
So yeah, I don't know, but it's going to be cool if they show up maybe in the finale, break them out and they all are. But I'm still excited.
00:57:47
Ryan
I don't know, but I'm still excited for that show.
00:57:50
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, so am I.
00:57:50
Ryan
She's the one was great.
00:57:52
the_popcorn_podcast
I just like, I liked the whole idea of the show. I liked the cast, like everything about it.
00:57:55
Ryan
yeah yeah now hope i i know the tryingqui what's q yeah somewheres ah see but Yeah.
00:57:57
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, yeah, I, I just want to know, I hope this next episode the ah gives us more of a set plan of these next couple of episodes. ah They're trying to make the virus, but then what's he going to do from now on? And then I guess home layers being Homelander and then we just got to see where everyone else ends up.
00:58:17
the_popcorn_podcast
But again, it's not bad season of television.
00:58:20
Ryan
Um, it's not bad.
00:58:22
the_popcorn_podcast
It's a good to average season of television. But again, putting up against something so good and makes it look so much worse.
00:58:27
Ryan
up so Yeah, I don't know.
00:58:30
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah, I don't know.
00:58:31
Ryan
I mean, if they finish it off strong, but if it stays like just this mediocre and kind of leads to nothing by the finale of this season, because I hate when TV shows go this route of like, this is the second to last season.
00:58:31
the_popcorn_podcast
I mean, if they finish it off strong, but if it stays like this video, there probably is nothing about it now in this season. Because I hate when TV shows go this route is like, this to last season.
00:58:44
Ryan
So this season is just going to be a set up.
00:58:44
the_popcorn_podcast
So this season is just going to be all set up.
00:58:46
Ryan
It's like, I don't want to watch a full season of set up.
00:58:47
the_popcorn_podcast
I don't want to watch a full season. Yeah.
00:58:48
Ryan
Yeah.
00:58:48
the_popcorn_podcast
And you can. And if you are going to that make an interesting set up, like we're actually watching the plan and.
00:58:49
Ryan
jordan
00:58:53
Ryan
yeah
00:58:54
the_popcorn_podcast
But that's not how they're doing it.
00:58:54
Ryan
yeah Each season has to have its own story that, that
00:58:55
the_popcorn_podcast
Each season has a story that should lead into another season if you plan that season.
00:58:57
Ryan
should lead into another season, if it's planned to have another season. But just having a full set up season is just kind of boring.
00:59:02
the_popcorn_podcast
But just having a full set up to you is kind of boring.
00:59:06
Ryan
Because then we're going to finish this and wait another year, year and a half, two years maybe, to see more of it.
00:59:06
the_popcorn_podcast
There's been really a fix this Hopefully there's been.
00:59:12
Ryan
So it just kind of sucks. Hopefully they finish it off strong.
00:59:15
the_popcorn_podcast
Yeah.
00:59:16
Ryan
Yeah. I don't know.

One nice rewatch of it. And it's bringing back a lot of memories from high school because the first time since high school, I'm doing like a rewatch from the beginning.
00:59:33
Ryan

00:59:38
the_popcorn_podcast
And this is a sub one tree hill.
00:59:38
Ryan

00:59:42
the_popcorn_podcast
I thought we just talked about one tree hill.
00:59:42
Ryan
Last time? Yes, you did. I think so. I don't remember.
00:59:46
the_popcorn_podcast
No, I recommended, uh, whatever you got.

00:59:51
the_popcorn_podcast
Fine. Um, no, it does not follow two seasons.
00:59:52
Ryan
No, it doesn't matter. ah
00:59:55
the_popcorn_podcast
I'm very good. Let's catch channel. Michael, Mary, and Hillary burn.
01:00:01
the_popcorn_podcast
Um, recommend pretty much.
01:00:02
Ryan
I recommend I've been rewatching Generation Kill for some reason.
01:00:06
the_popcorn_podcast
I just keep saying, how are you going?
01:00:07
Ryan
I just kept seeing clips of it on YouTube. I was like, fuck it. I've rewatched the show.
01:00:11
the_popcorn_podcast
It's not even long.
01:00:11
Ryan
It's not super long.
01:00:12
the_popcorn_podcast
And it's still good.
01:00:13
Ryan
And it's still good. All right, go for it.
01:00:15
the_popcorn_podcast
I have a new one. Could you say he said that one? I'm recommending Richard Linklater's newest film, Hitman with gleow was ah go Glenn amazing in it.
01:00:18
Ryan
bri How was it? I watched it.
01:00:29
the_popcorn_podcast
i The story is kind of like the true story part of it makes a lot of sense.
01:00:30
Ryan
This story is kind of like the true story part of it. It makes a lot of sense.
01:00:34
the_popcorn_podcast
It kind of goes off the rails a little bit in the third act, like it's a little crazy, but it's still really entertaining and I think Glenn Powell can get himself a nice Oscar nom for this one.
01:00:34
Ryan
It kind of goes off the rails a little bit. But it's the way I am thinking. I think I'm about to get stoned and the cops are in the office. Really?
01:00:42
the_popcorn_podcast
