In what has been teased and building since Episode 2 of this podcast, the Boys and superhero / comic book movie perennial guest Masaki (AKA Landon AKA Son of Sam U.

It's a clash of titans - that being Masaki who loathes Captain Marvel and Cupcake the official Carol Danvers MCU stan - as they debate the merits of the film, the state of the MCU, and if we really want more or less from the Marvel shared-onslaught.

The Boys dip their toes into the youth horror pool this episode, as they cover the much-anticipated film adaption of the animatronic video game terror sensation that is “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” They didn’t dare brave this venture alone, bringing along good friend Kevin from Raiders of the Podcast to discuss the peculiar day-and-date release of an adaptation that all three parties admit they’re not the demographic for. Did this win them over a la “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” did for Jose? Before finding out, Kevin pays tribute to a fallen friend, Cupcake wades through a Disney controversy, and the Cinemasochist runs a marathon, of sorts.

The Watch/Skip'ers are back after a short break welcoming onto the show one of our "Pod Fathers"- Sam U. Rai of the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema - for a suitably EPIC discussion of legendary and pioneering filmmaker Martin Scorsese's EPIC new film "Killers of the Flower Moon". In an episode that is nearly the run time of the movie itself (but still shorter than our Oscars ep...hehe), these Scorsese fans discuss all things Marty, the tragedy inflicted on Indigenous people, the nature of greed and corruption, the "devil you know", and the evil you don't see. There's also a ton of talk about great character actors and their performances here. But before that, Sammy talks a Lynchian documentary, Red discusses yet another seasonal treat, and Cupcake runs a marathon.

Another October, another horror franchise taken over by David Gordon Green and Danny McBride. This year, the Boys tackle “The Exorcist: Believer,” the first in a planned trilogy from Blumhouse. Did Red & Cupcake find this to be a good start a la 2018’s “Halloween?” Before finding out, Jose pluses a new film streaming on Netflix that reunites ‘90s icons, while Justin sees the return of a new nickname in discussing a seasonal treat.

I want to play a pod....Before you stand two critics whose mouths have run amok and inflamed your sense of film...loving some theatrical and streaming movies while relegating others to the "Skip" bin. Will you press play and be able to resist their charms as they turn their acid tongues towards the brand new 10th entry in the long running, now self referential horror franchise - Saw X? Or will the audio trap of bantering and franchise nostalgia be too much for you and cause you to reach for the timestamps? Listen or jump from timestamp to timestamp...The choice is yours.

*cough Additionally these fools have something called a "plus"...I have no idea what that means, but Red discusses his new Halloween buddy and Cupcake goes green again.

The Boys get heady this week in discussing Gareth Edwards’ sci-fi meditation on humanity, “The Creator.” To help them break down the many philosophies and rich visuals within, they welcome two of their podcast creators, Brad of “Not a Bomb” and Sam U. Rai of “The Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema.” Both of the guests have video games as their pluses, with Jose having a plus that is video game inspired. Justin was the lone one out, relying on a familiar bingo piece for his plus (or would that be prime?).

Get battle-ready for a doozy of an episode as the Watch/Skip'ers welcome back E.f. Contentment and his singular wit and wry humor to take on Expend4bles, the fourth in the Stallone-Statham-Lundgren-Couture fronted franchise. Clearly the film - which welcomes Megan Fox and others to the cast- had an unintended effect as the trio dole out bad imitations, express anger over cutesy franchise film titles, and have their passions run amok staining the proceedings like bad CGI blood. But is this summer "bullets, buddies, and babes" film a Watch or a Skip? Before it all, E.F double pluses an IMAX re-release and provocative new book, Cupcake quickly shadows his plus, while Red reveals the recent Regal Mystery Movie.

Before finding that out, Cupcake pluses a prequel series that attempts to set up the rules of a game, while Red gets a new nickname from a series of seasonal products he tested.

Your prayers are answered....a new episode is nigh!

Grab your rosaries and say your "Hail, Mary"s, as the Watch/Skip'ers review the latest spin off from the Conjuring Horror Universe - The Nun 2. Considering that the Boys didn't care much for the first film, it may be a revelation to hear which host gives almighty praise to the movie, one which could spawn a habit forming sequel trilogy or at a minimum, see the titular horror icon resurrected in a future Conjuring film. Before that, Red mourns the passing of a screen legend (this is a riddle, folks) while also slipping in mentions of two upcoming films. Then Cupcake gives a shout-out to two super-fans before a little bit of "story time".

The Boys get threequalized* this week as they wind down the summer box office with “The Equalizer 3.” Is this supposed finale of Antoine Fuqua & Denzel Washington’s film adaptation of the hit show worthy of closing out the summer and trilogy? Before finding out, Jose lays the foundation for a makeup line with his plus while Justin discusses a historic wrestling event and the crazy fallout from it.

*Special thanks to listener Shane for coining this term.
