From Superheroes to Sensationalism: A Discussion on Modern TV Shows

In this episode, the hosts delve into their opinions on various popular television shows, starting with a comparison between Superman and Homelander from 'The Boys'. They discuss their reactions to the graphic and often shocking content of 'The Boys', including specific scenes from the latest season. The conversation then shifts to their disinterest in 'The Walking Dead' and 'American Horror Story' due to gratuitous content. They also critique 'Game of Thrones' for perceived inappropriate elements related to character ages. The episode concludes with a discussion on the impact of O.J. Simpson's trial on the Kardashian family's rise to fame.

[00:00:18] Chris: The third season, because I watched, there's a preview right for four, right? Season four now? Yeah. And I started watching the preview and I realized, whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't think I know what's going on here, so maybe I didn't finish it. Well, It's gone off the rails to you? Okay, I, I don't, [00:00:30] I don't know what season, it was, it was, Three?

[:

[00:00:37] Sherry: Jensen. We haven't seen the one with Jensen

[:

[00:00:42] Sherry: No, that's the one we haven't seen. We started watching it, but stop. We started watching it, but stop.

[:

[00:00:51] Chris: Gross and perverted for no reason. Have you seen any of it with the soldier of that season? Yeah. You're talking about with a big long penis. Yeah, he crawls up inside and [00:01:00] blows up. Oh that. Yes. I don't need that in my life What is the point just to be Of course you did. I just thought I'm watching this.

[:

[00:01:23] Chris: Like you killed the bad guy, super easy. You know, but I just, I thought it was funny. Did you, did, did you think it was funny, James? I mean, it's fucked [00:01:30] up. Don't get me wrong, but it's, it was funny. Cause he sneezes, right? And he sneezes, I thought

[:

[00:01:38] Chris: up to that point.

[:

[00:01:55] Sherry: remember that at all.

[:

[00:01:56] James: the diamond dude that exploded or whatever, whatever, [00:02:00] and it's gross. That's a gross show.

[:

[00:02:17] James: was the Super fast guy hitting the girl.

[:

[00:02:21] Chris: see

[:

[00:02:24] Chris: was the expectations. It's this is not yeah, it's gonna be gross No, but yeah, but that was them being negligent and [00:02:30] uncaring and and bad I thought that was on an emotional level. Yes Versus yeah, this is just gratuitous and that's like, like as huge a zombie fandom as I am, I checked out of walking dead after the beating of Glenn by, I'm like, this is gratuitous and unnecessary.

[:

[00:02:53] Sherry: I've checked out immediately. So the same with American Horror Story. And I've watched it. Yes. A lot of [00:03:00] it's perverted and, but it had good story, but the last two or three seasons, I'm done. I think they have to try to up

[:

[00:03:09] Chris: It becomes gratuitous to the story, in my opinion. Yeah, what I thought were talking about that, and that's at the beginning of the season, like, later in that same season. They're fighting this bad guy, and there's a big tentacle thing going around the, and, and chucking people out. And then you realize it's not like a arm, it's the guy's penis.

[:

[00:03:41] Chris: And we, we talked about this, you know. How young she was. Yes. I did the math. I'm like, okay, that's pedophilia. Okay. This guy and this girl is in the story. But she's older in the show. Of course. And why did they, why do you think that is? Yeah, you know. Yes. You can't have, I'm not [00:04:00] reading this story under upon now, you know, the, first of all, the dog was killed, but, and then this, I, the dog was one that checked me out, the girl.

[:

[00:04:22] Chris: Sure. Because, yes. Sure. That would be frowned upon. And, and, and what is the motivation of that guy writing a scene like that with that age? [00:04:30] I mean, just. What are you talking? With Game of Thrones. Oh. Now I'm wondering. Was he 14? Was that the age? Yeah. Yeah. And just, yeah. Yeah, now I'm thinking the writer of this guy is a sick son of a bitch and I'm reading it.

[:

[00:04:45] Sherry: have a question. Have y'all seen the last season of American Horror

[:

[00:04:54] Sherry: ended up pretty good with Lady Gaga. Yeah, but this one had Kim Kardashian.

[:

[00:05:00] James: Anyway, I don't know how we got on that, but speaking of Kardashian, OJ, you know, the chase is Kardashian was his lawyer and I blame OJ for all the Kardashians. It's true.

[:

[00:05:19] Chris: He is shocked. Yeah, it is.

[:

[00:05:36] Chris: Yeah, there's some theory that that contained The stuff.

[:

[00:05:41] James: Interesting. Yeah. So Kardashian

[:

[00:05:45] James: Kardashian didn't know what was in there. May you know, Kardashian was just his friend. Yeah.

[:

[00:05:53] James: and those other lawyers got him off and the LA PD tried to frame a guilty man.

[:

[00:06:02] James: Stupid. It's so stupid. Yeah. Anyway, but hey, you know kind of like god bless them all what I hope they're doing. Well wherever they're doing wherever they're at. Sure Hey, you know

[:

[00:06:18] Chris: Yeah Out of my hands
