The Boys are back in town! As corny and as easy a target as that opener is, I couldn’t help but inject that earworm into your brain and hopefully, it’s stuck on repeat. The Boys season one was a success for most of the general audience—not so much for others. Alright, confession time. I was not a big fan of the first season of the Amazon Studios produced comic book adaptation. I found a lot of issues with the show last year on many levels. The character arcs and motivations were the biggest headaches and some of the acting was…

You tend to know what you’re getting when watching a movie written, directed, or both by Charlie Kaufman. A three-way relationship between two individuals and an obsession. A deadpan comedy that can turn dim at the drop of a hat. Reality bending like an expert yoga instructor. A conclusion to a story that is ambiguous and leaves the audience collectively scratching their heads. Not that any of that is a bad thing. Kaufman has a style that he’s had time to master and it works in our favor more than we like to admit. Such is the case with I’m…

Hello there, you delightful c*&ts. Welcome back for another day of ScreenGeek exclusive interviews with the cast and crew of Amazon’s Original series, The Boys. In this roundup, I had the pleasure of speaking to Jack Quaid, who plays Huey Campbell, and Erin Moriarty, who plays Annie January/Starlight. In our talks, Quaid and Moriarty discuss the shaky relationship between Huey and Annie, a tender moment between Starlight and Queen Maeve, and a few hints of what’s to come in season two. So, Erin, your character, Annie, finds out Compound V and that discovery turns her world upside down. How did…

Back again for more, eh? Well, you’re in luck because ScreenGeek has another interview with the cast and crew of Amazon’s Original series, The Boys.  This time around I was able to speak with Homelander himself, Antony Starr, and Stromfront’s very own Aya Cash. We talked about what it takes for nice guy Antony Starr to play a monster on television, what attracted Aya to the role of Stormfront, and which Marvel character the two would play if offered a spot in the MCU. My first question is for Antony. Homelander has a God complex in The Boys. Is that…

Welcome folks to our first day of exclusive news from Amazon’s Original series The Boys. That’s right. I had the pleasure of talking with the cast and crew behind the hit show. A few interesting tidbits of information came from my time with Karl Urban aka Billy Butcher and Las Alonso aka Mother’s Milk. We discussed many things – including character changes from the comic book to television, that big Becca reveal at the end of season one, and yes, an update on Karl Urban’s involvement with Judge Dredd: Mega-City One. Las, you have become the heart of The Boys…

The pickle. A food item that has a long and storied history besides just being used for potato salad or on a hamburger. For example, The Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, would eat pickles because she believed that the brine filled delight would keep her beauty intact. Another testament to the impactful nature of the pickle is that this item is part of the courting process for certain groups in Fiji. This and many more trivia facts were used for an article that I once wrote last year for a writing gig that wasn’t going anywhere—much like HBO’s American Pickle. How…

The Boys are back in town! The Amazon Original series has been a huge hit on the streaming service and fans of the program have been waiting for season two to drop. A trailer was released some time ago that displayed The Boys trying to survive from the pursuit of the authorities and the psycho “heroes” of the Vought International. The blood and action-packed season showed a lot of promise and revealed a taste of what is to come for fans of the comic – and also to those that have never picked up a single issue to find out…

If you have been living underneath a rock for the past month, you’re safe. The Coronavirus or COVID-19 has given most parts of the world a chaotic Blood Punch—I’ve been playing a lot of Doom Eternal. New reports of people being infected across the planet are being released every day and many governments are constantly in second place trying to keep up. People have been advised to stay home and help flatten the curve of spreading the disease in hopes that the future of the planet doesn’t end up on a bleak note. Many folks have taken heed to the…

Nazis are the scum of the Earth and it’s good to have that type of thinking back in style—it’s also sad that it needs to be reminded by some. No longer are the horrors of Nazism and taking the bastards out in an glorious fashion regulated to WWII FPSs, documentaries, and a fun romp thanks to Quentin Tarantino. Unfortunately for those that think this lifestyle is acceptable, the Jordan Peele produced Amazon show Hunters, is here to remind us that this ideology needs to be curb-stomped out once again. The show, Hunters, is set in the 70s where a ragtop…

A lot of people are wondering what’s to come of our heroes in Phase Four from Marvel Studios. A. Lot. Audience members got to grow with and love several characters in the MCU over the past 10+ years and the big finale of The Infinity Saga was well worth it. One of the many things folks are wondering about is what’s going on with Thor and his interaction with the Guardians of the Galaxy – and if he’ll be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Last time we saw the God of Thunder, Thor was hitching a ride with…
