On this episode, hosts Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson chop up the Amazon original series 'The Boys'. Adapted from the popular comic book series of the same name by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson, 'The Boys' details a world where superheroes are treated almost as professional athletes and celebrities with endorsement deals, corporate sponsorships and the adulation of millions. However, there is a very dark undercurrent to these glorious heroes that is discovered by a rogue band of normal humans to bring down these 'supes' -- 'The Boys'.
We discuss 'The Boys' as a product of a post-'Watchmen' take on superheroes, how the characters are very much like your workplace and the many 'Oh S**t!' moments that the series delivers.

In this inaugural episode, hosts Dwight Clark, Swain Hunt and Adrian Johnson discuss the cultural phenomenon that is HBO's 'Game Of Thrones'. Based on the books by author George R.R. Martin, the television series has seemingly captured the zeitgeist and transcended every demographic since its debut in April 2011. 'Thrones' has absolutely asserted itself into the same pantheon as the greatest sci-fi/fantasy franchises like 'Star Wars', 'Harry Potter' or 'The Walking Dead'.
We chop it up over its impact on popular culture, its loyal fanbase and the backlash over the show's final season in May 2019.
