Happy Umbrella Academy season 4 release! To celebrate, we're having Netflix's comic adaptation face off against Amazon Prime's (at times loose) adaptation of The Boys. Lando advocates for Gerard Way's Umbrella Academy and the uniqueness of its characters and premise. Mucci vouches for the wide-ranging satire and positive changes made to Garth Ennis's sometimes edgelord-y comic. Will Homelander or Five draw Huy over to their side? And in our Recess segment "Refreshed Recollection," how well do Lando and Mucci know the characters of their shows?

OTR Theme by Lando and Mucci. Other music (all from Freesound.org): "Soundtrack #1" by AxelTheCocker02, "Epic Orchestral Cue" by graham_makes, "funkygroove beat 0" and "Drum fill 5" by lewk, "Epic trailer action music 2" by humanoide9000, "TV Show Intro Music" by TheoJT, and "swage" by dpren.
