The Boys: If Quentin Tarantino Made a Superhero Show
Season 1, Ep. 79
•
Today we talk about The Boys, Amazon's anti-superhero story.
Season 1 used superheroes to represent police, military, sports stars and Hollywood celebrities and explore blind hero worship. Season 2 delves into the dirty underside of manufactured heroism with a character named Stormfront (Aya Cash) who uses memes to gain fame and try to steal the superhero group The Seven from its leader, Homelander (Anthony Starr), a kind of demented cross between Superman and Captain America.
There are Nazis, a BDSM relationship between Stormfront and Homelander that involves lasers, and so, so many exploding heads.
