Thatā€™s all you needed.

well, season 2 of the Boys was basically an entire season of commentary on right wing authoritarian propaganda and radicalization. I guess they missed that message, lol

1945

The politics is one of the best things about
The Boys and it has literally been there since episode one.

I mean, itā€™s an explicit satire of right wing beliefs. The fascist superheroes are constantly going on a Tucker like show railing against antifa etc.

After this thread had so many posts about last season surprised kenobi has stolen its thunder.

1947

I guess the literal Nazi named Stormfront was too subtle.

I still canā€™t believe I didnā€™t see the Nazi reveal coming. Her name is literally Stormfront and I still didnā€™t catch on!

A couple streaming services questions:

  1. Anyone use YouTube TV? Howā€™s your experience?

  2. HBOMax has a cheaper ad-based subscription and an ad-free subscription. Anyone use the ad-based? If so, how invasive is it?

Thanks

1950

I had this for a while; the service is great but I couldnā€™t justify the expense. Great for sports. One year I got a subscription for a few months just for football.

do you get every single NFL game and redzone?

1952

Nah, itā€™s not a substitute for NFL Redzone, Iā€™m just a casual fan who wants to see whatever sports are on basic cable. Ultimately, itā€™s too expensive and now I just use an antenna to pick up local sportsball games.

1953

I use YouTube TV and donā€™t have any complaints. Not sure if thereā€™s much of a difference between it and some of the other TV streaming services, I used Playstation Vue before it went under then moved to YouTube.

Never used HBOMAX ad based. Really enjoy the ad free version.

Youtube tv is actually pretty great and likely to run you cheaper than normal cable packages. I think they have a 7 day trial.

1956

YouTube TV was great. I couldnā€™t justify the price but if youā€™re wanting a cable package itā€™s probably the best

Did Kimiko and Frenchie just do the fucking Shipoopi dance?

Yeah, YouTubeTV is basically a great option to replace basic cable.

the cheese factor is way up and not in a good way. also having trouble referring to any of the chefs as iron-worthy.
