00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:12.880
Calaroga Shark Media. All right,
folks, strap in and get ready for

2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.440
a wild ride as we dive into
the season four premiere of The Boys.

3
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.559
Spoilers ahead. This show continues to
be an absolutely bonkers mashup of biting satire,

4
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.320
over the top violence, and scarily
relevant social commentary. I mean,

5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.039
is Homelander's whole deal really that much
crazier than some of the stuff we see

6
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.399
in the news every day? The
line between fiction and reality keeps getting blurrier,

7
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.799
I tell you so. When we
last left our heroes, Homelander had

8
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.600
just straight up murdered a dude in
broad daylight, which of course only made

9
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.840
his unhinged fan base love him more
classic. Now he's back, and he's

10
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.359
been acquitted of all charges, because
apparently you can just do that when you're

11
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:56.159
a famous soup. The rich and
powerful play by different rules. Who knew,

12
00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:00.159
But Old Homi's not feeling quite as
invincible as he used to thanks to

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.760
the shocking discovery of a gray pube. Yep, even genetically engineered ubermensch aren't

14
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.000
safe from the ravages of time.
While Homelander's plucking his nether regions, the

15
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.319
Boys are trying to figure out how
to deal with the fact that newly elected

16
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.480
VP Victoria Newman is secretly a head
popping soup who's in league with Captain Cuckoo.

17
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.719
Their brilliant plan poison her eye drops. Got to hand it to them,

18
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.519
They're not afraid to think outside the
box. But faster than you can

19
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.840
say, I'm the deep and I'm
inappropriately in love with an octopus, the

20
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:36.560
plan goes sideways. Kimmiko and Frenchy
get their butts handed to them by Newman's

21
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.400
daughter and her freaky mutant throat tentacles, while Butcher completely drops the ball because

22
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:46.879
he's too focused on saving Homelander's son
Ryan priorities. Am I right? Speaking

23
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.359
of Butcher, the poor guy just
can't catch a break. Not only is

24
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.239
he benched by the CIA, but
he also finds out that all that compound

25
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.959
V he's been guzzling is gonna kill
him in a year. But even with

26
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.280
the grim Reaper breathing down his neck, Butcher can't resist the siren song of

27
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.280
revenge. He hatches a shady deal
with Newman to help him get Ryan back,

28
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:08.759
but ends up ghosting her at the
last minute thanks to a little spectral

29
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.759
intervention from his dead wife. Hey, whatever works. Meanwhile, Homelander's on

30
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.520
the hunt for a new member of
the Seven, and boy are the prospects

31
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.240
grim. We've got racism, beastiality, and whatever a butterface is. But

32
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.840
then in Walk's sister Sage, a
mysterious genius with a plan to help Homelander

33
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.479
take over the world. To prove
her loyalty, Sage sets up a nice

34
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.800
little meet and greet between Homelander and
some of his biggest fans, which quickly

35
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.479
turns into a beaten delete when he
orders a train the Deep and Black Noir

36
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.159
to go full Nagan on them.
Yikes, But it's all part of Sage's

37
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.800
master plan to make Homelander look like
the good guy compared to Starlight's violent supporters.

38
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.439
Got to keep that base riled up
and divided. While all this is

39
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.360
going on, Poor hughe just can't
catch a break. First his dad has

40
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.560
a stroke, and then his long
lost mom shows up out of nowhere at

41
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.080
the hospital. Talk about emotional whiplash. But hey, at least French he's

42
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.000
getting sober and starting acute new romance. Right, I'm sure that will end

43
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.479
well and not be a horrific tragedy. Waiting to happen. So there you

44
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.680
have it, folks, the first
episode of The Boys season four and all

45
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.560
its twisted glory. We've got political
intrigue, family drama, messed up mutations,

46
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.400
and more severed limbs than you can
shake a laser eyed baby at.

47
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.639
It's anyone's guess where this crazy train
is heading next, but one thing's for

48
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.199
sure, it's going to be one
hell of a ride. What did you

49
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.400
guys think of the premiere? Did
it live up to the hype? What

50
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:37.360
was your favorite messed up moment?
And don't forget to smash that like button
