By the time the dust (more like blood) settled on the season finale of Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters' Gen V, it was painfully clear that the spinoff series and Eric Kripke's The Boys will have a very cozy partnership as the latter heads into its fourth season (Gen V getting a second-season green light definitely[...]

Image: Prime Video Screencap Here's a rewind on the entire first season ahead of this week's season finale – and yeah, those last few seconds are pretty[...]

But with this being the season finale (with hints at more serious connections to The Boys Season 4 in this one), we can't shake this feeling that some twists, a few turns, and more than a few eyebrow-archings & jaw-droppings are on the way. Image: Prime Video Screencap Here's a look at the season finale trailer for[...]

But we have to say, S01E07: "Sick" impressed on a whole ton of levels – especially when it came to connecting the series to the overall "The Boys" universe It all began with a campus visit from Congresswoman & VP Candidate Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) – and it would end with some major reveals for Marie[...]

With only hours to go before the next episode hits, we're getting a look at the poster for Neuman's event, where she plans "to discuss #SingerNeuman2024's plans to bridge the divide between humans and superhumans" (though Vought seems to be pushing an agenda by adding that the head of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs[...]

Now that we're six episodes into Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters' Gen V, it's pretty clear that Amazon's Prime Video spinoff has some seriously entrenched connections with Showrunner/EP Eric Kripke's The Boys And that continued this week in "Jumanji," which saw not only the return of Jensen Ackles' (Supernatural) Soldier Boy in a very "unique" scene but also[...]

And then we put in our favorites, and that was the scene." For those of you who might find the scene familiar to Soldier Boy, Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Butcher's (Karl Urban) face-off with Mindstorm (Ryan Blakely) during The Boys Season 3, Fazekas explains that the scene was used to guarantee that both situations involving psychic[...]
