Strap in, go to the bathroom and get the snacks folks as we spend almost 3 hours going through a veritable treasure trove of wrongly (and occasionally rightly) cancelled TV shows.

Neil is joined by Ben, David, Jose & Marie as we read out listeners comments from Twitter, give our honourable mentions and then delve into our combined Top 10 Cancelled TV Shows of All Time 

And remember this is our 2nd ever Video episode as well which you can view with added graphics and fun on our YouTube channel below

It's our historic first VIDEO episode of We Needed Roads that definitely wasn't planned but as it was the first time we were able to assemble the full We Needed Roads crew of myself (Neil), David, Ben, Jose & Marie, and it was a genuinely funny episode we thought why not make it into our first Video episode!

In this episode I'm joined by our very our J-train Jose Lopez and our own Victoria Neuman Marie Stanza who will make your head explode if you don't recycle as we take a belated but spoiler filled dive deep into The Boys Season 4 and give our predictions on where we think the final season will end.

Will it follow along with the graphic novels ending or continue to veer away from the original story?
