We have a pretty exciting announcement here at The Winchester Family Business. Our dear friend Lynn Zubernis at Fangasm has announced that her latest book, SUPES AIN’T ALWAYS HEROES, is available for pre-order! This is her first book for The Boys and she is sharing the editing duties this time with her colleague Matthew Snyder. The…
We all loved Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy in Amazon’s series, The Boys. Jensen’s character was the quintessential bad boy but his nuanced portrayal made us all sympathize with the supercharged, conflicted anti-hero we were supposed to fear! Well, critics took notice and nominated Jensen for a Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Performance in…
Let me know if you’ve heard of this one before. Everything comes together and nothing goes according to plan. Did you expect anything less from this show? “The Instant White-Hot Wild” offers a satisfying conclusion while setting up some good possibilities for season four, but also had some surprises that some may have seen…
I suppose that after the furious events of “Herogasm”, it was time to take a small breather. Not to say that “Here Comes a Candle to Light You to Bed” was a light episode. A crap ton happened. It was just lighter than the freaking intense “Herogasm.” It’s still one of the more intense episodes…
“There’s a lot to unpack there.” No freaking kidding Hughie. Wow, where do I even start with Herogasm? I can’t believe they crammed so much into one hour, from both a production and story standpoint. There’s so much to absorb. This was the culmination of the events in the previous five episodes this season and…
Aye, yai, yai. Some things just don’t change over time, do they? Everything is starting to implode on both sides, and it’s not pretty. As with the previous episode, there’s a lot to unpack in “The Last Time to Look on This World of Lies.” It’s funny though because the most important line…
From Russia with Love. Nah, I’m kidding. It was Canada all dressed up. “Glorious Five Year Plan” is certainly not as bleak as the previous episode, but it’s not a bed of roses either. If anything, it’s quintessential The Boys. Homelander is lucid enough in his madness to use fear and intimidation to take…
The big lesson from “Barbary Coast” is absolute power corrupts…absolutely. Just forget what happened in the season premiere, because any hint of progress and happiness has been obliterated like one of those wet balloon body explosions that are typical in this show. Homelander is unleashed. Butcher is unleashed. Hughie is more disillusioned than ever and…
What do you know. Homelander can do whatever the f*** he wants. “The Only Man in the Sky” is a truly fitting title. From my understanding, it’s a call back to a line from the comics. Here, it’s a true reflection of the God complex simmering within Homelander, the one being held back by Stan…
It’s been a year, and man have things changed. I finally got a chance after a busy weekend to watch the season three premiere of The Boys, titled “Payback,” and it wasn’t what I expected. That’s actually good. There were some real fascinating character stories underneath a couple of shocking scenes of intense gore. Over…
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but Amazon Prime has been doing one huge promotional blitz for season three of The Boys. Today, the streaming service drops the first three episodes of the season and then will run one each week for the remaining five episodes. Not sure what to expect? When Eric Kripke is your…
Ah, Kripke, you magnificent bastard. Okay, it’s a group effort, so the credit falls on just about everyone involved with this show, but the top guy usually gets all the criticism, so I’ll show him some credit here too. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from “The Boys” season two. After all, season…
