The Boys gas up the podcast and race into reviewing the Xth sequel in the long-running Fast and the Furious franchise. TEN films in the series, will Fast X herald the reinvigoration of the fast cars/fast heists/sexy and fast actors and quite furious franchise or is it time to yank out the engine, put this car up on bricks, and end this "quarter mile" lifestyle? WARNING: this episode may or may not contain surprising and unexpected bickering, frustration, and expletive laden diatribes from one of the hosts. Before that, Justin talks a new imprinting procedure he had done, and Jose attempts to talk about a streaming club that you don't talk about whilst attempting to NOT violate his NDA.

It’s time once again for the Boys to enter uncharted waters. Last month it was in animation (Super Mario Bros. Movie). This month, it’s the documentary pool. They eased themselves in with “Living with Chucky,” a personal retrospective on the “Child’s Play” franchise, which both hosts have professed their love for numerous times on the show. Did Kyra Gardner’s project fill the life-long fans with enthusiasm?

Before finding that out, Cupcake and the Cinemasochist havetwo pluses each to discuss. Jose starts with the miraculous (and pricey) procurement of a long-searched for DVD (hint: it’s a Bingo piece), then switches gears to an inspirational interview from a popular actor (hint: think HBO). Justin first gives a shout out to a close friend’s recent television success, then reviews a film he’s been putting off since the start of this show (hint: it’s also a Bingo piece).

THE BOYS ARE BACK!!!! After a week off (and one WSS episode later), the Cinemasochist and Cupcake are back, shaking the virtual rust off and reviewing James Gunn's swan song for not only the MCU (pssst...he now heads up a little studio called DC Studios) but also for this space opera trilogy - Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. NO superhero/comic book can be reviewed on this show without the presence of Masaki AKA Landon AKA Son of Sam. U. Rai. Strap in....this family bickers and chastises each other but in the end...it's all love. Who will champion this crowd pleasing space standalone adventure comedy and who will blame superhero fatigue and an overstuffed script?

NEW WATCH SKIP SINGULAR IS OUT! (while you await our epic Watch/Skip+ return on Thursday)

Cupcake goes SOLO for the first time making this a true Watch Skip Singular in name and execution. Listen as Cupcake (very nervously) chatters on and reviews two new Amazon Prime Shows - Citadel (the spy thriller executive produced by the Russo Brothers and starring Richard Madden, Priyanka Chopra Jones, and Stanley Tucci), and the eagerly awaited re-imagining of a David Cronenberg classic, Dead Ringers starring Rachel Weisz. There's tea, there's talk of sexy Denmark-ians and chunky hunks, and liberal use of the word "fantastic".

Grab the crosses and wooden stakes (and call the police)! The Boys venture into Dracula's lair to review comedy-action director Chris McKay's high concept twist on the classic Universal monster vampire, "Renfield" starring "Nic Squared" (Nicholas Hoult and Nicholas Cage). Surprise guest Sam U. Rai from our Pod Father podcast "The Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema" drops in, and the palpable energy injection leads to a "kinda spoiler-y, though not so spoiler-y but almost certainly somewhat spoiler-y" Spoiler Free discussion (you've been warned!). Along the way the three amigos happily plus their hearts out - Red resurrects talk of a widely used film buff app, Sammy espouses the everlasting benefits of podcasting, and Cupcake is compelled by the power of another once audience-opener star's new film (mirroring Cage's career in some ways).

The Watch/Skip'ers are back with a new episode that's HALF the length of our Oscar episode...LOL....a massive 5 member critical analysis of Paramount/Hasbro-eOne's epic adaptation of the famous OG RPG game "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves". Joining the Boys are Troy from "Not A Bomb" podcast and the father/son tag team of "The Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema"s Sam U. Rai and his son Masaki (AKA Landon) of YouTube "Was It That Bad?" fame. As an appetizer, the Plus's just roll out: Troy starts with a rather on topic plus, Masaki plus's and answers the age old question "What is Mongolian Metal"?, Sammy's plus gets an assist from Justin and Cupcake (and Troy for that matter!), and Cupcake plus's an update of a previous fashion related plus. THEN strap in and get ready to aim for high experience points as the Gang talks OG RPG, DnD, the future of movie theatres, and if this film works even if you've never played or don't know what Dungeons and Dragons is. You will never guess who is the most critical of the Chris Pine-led ensemble CGI swords and sorcery new release!

The Boys’ wild dreams come true as they welcome the brother podcasting duo of Daniel and David of the Wild Dream podcast onto the show! Sorry, we couldn’t resist that cheesy joke! Just like we couldn’t resist covering the fourth (and possibly final) installment into the “John Wick” franchise, “John Wick: Chapter 4!" Before tackling that beast, our guests introduce themselves through their pluses (David’s being a video game close to his heart, Daniel’s being a new show from an actor he’s a big stan for), while Jose pluses for both he and Justin by breaking down a monumental news story regarding a big film studio.

Make sure to check out not just the Wild Dream podcast, but Daniel and David’s hilarious (and thematically appropriate) short film, “Brock Shadow: The Reckoning: This Time It’s Personal!” Both are linked below.

The Boys take on yet another superhero flick, DC's Shazam! Fury of the Gods, directed by David F. Sandberg. And while there are no ant men or dimensional portals, this one has flying superheroes, dragons and goddesses, and progressive parents. We are forbidden from reviewing anything comic book/superhero without Masaki, the Son of Sam U. Rai; check out the three of them as they decide whether this new Shazamily Sequel is a fun blast of genre mashup high voltage energy or if it's one of four last dying gasps of the DCEU after several course corrections and new leadership (later this year we get The Flash, Blue Beetle, and the long awaited Aquaman sequel). Meanwhile, Justin Plus's a frequent Bingo card square item, Masaki screams out about a new viewing of his, and Cupcake toasts the departure of a Baltimore actor extraordinaire.
