This week on The Commentary Booth, Jamie Apps and Captain Sickness, Corrina Mabey go back to school to dissect the ultra-gory, socially satirical second season of Gen V, the twisted spin-off of The Boys. Picking up after Season 4 of The Boys, America is now under Homelander’s suffocating rule, and Godolkin University faces a terrifying new Dean promising students unprecedented power.

They delve into how the show brilliantly and respectfully wove the real-life tragic passing of star Chance Perdomo into its narrative core, creating a powerful emotional throughline. This episode also breaks down the season's perfect blend of teenage angst and outrageous superpowers, its sharp critique of influencer culture and far-right politics, and how it stands as a superior spin-off that seamlessly feeds into The Boys universe
