This week on The Total Screen's The Weekly Set podcast, Will and Tyson talk about Amazon's darkly comic take on the super hero genre, The Boys. The Boys, from Preacher Creator Garth Ennis, Preacher Adapters Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and Supernatural Creator and Showrunner Eric Kripke, acts as a gritty parody of the DC universe's Justice League. Featuring twisted incarnations of the beloved comic book characters like Superman, while introducing our protagonists, a band of rogues who oppose them. The result is dark, funny, and a biting critique of American fame and celebrity worship.
The Weekly Set is the official TV podcast of The Total Screen, in which your hosts, Tyson Gifford, William Rohrig, and the occasional guest, discuss the latest in genre TV.
Next week, Will and Tyson talk about season 1 of Netflix's Mindhunter.
