Episode 2 - The Boys


Listen Later

On this episode, hosts Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson chop up the Amazon original series 'The Boys'. Adapted from the popular comic book series of the same name by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson, 'The Boys' details a world where superheroes are treated almost as professional athletes and celebrities with endorsement deals, corporate sponsorships and the adulation of millions. However, there is a very dark undercurrent to these glorious heroes that is discovered by a rogue band of normal humans to bring down these 'supes' -- 'The Boys'.

We discuss 'The Boys' as a product of a post-'Watchmen' take on superheroes, how the characters are very much like your workplace and the many 'Oh S**t!' moments that the series delivers.
