The Boys and Invincible: A Podcast from TV Podcast Industries

We have done it, Chris and Derek reach the finale of the season to discuss Invincible Season 4 Episode 8 Don't Leave Me Hanging Here. A somber and highly intense close to another excellent season.
Invincible 406 Don't Leave Me Hanging Here Synopsis
Created by: Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker
Episode Written by: Simon Racioppa
Directed by: Ian Abando
Mark, Nolan, and Tech Jacket race back to Earth, but despite Mark’s worst fears they find it intact. 
As Mark reunites with his mother, Eve, and his friends, he experiences hallucinations of Thragg killing them individually as retribution for the destruction of the Viltrumite home world. 
Nolan revisits the crater where he pummeled Mark and is confronted by a distrustful Cecil, who urges Nolan to get the Coalition to arrive quickly if the Viltrumites arrive on Earth. 
Debbie and Paul mutually end their relationship, while Eve tearfully informs Mark that she aborted her pregnancy in fear of having to raise the baby alone. She didn't know what else to do.
Debbie goes to Talescria with Nolan to care for Oliver, while Mark leisurely flies alone at Eve’s suggestion to relieve his anxieties, only to add to them when he encounters Grand Regent Thragg high over planet Earth. 
Thragg informs Mark that the remaining 37 Viltrumites are indeed on Earth, secretly living among humans to repopulate; he threatens to destroy the planet if they are disturbed, but promises that they will not interfere positively or negatively with humans if they are left alone. 
After realising he really has no choice at all, Mark reluctantly agrees to his terms. 
Meanwhile, The Great Allen receives a post-mortem message from Thaedus for his eye only. In the message he is instructed to use the perfected Scourge Virus to eliminate the remaining Viltrumites, even though it may also be lethal to Mark's people.

Lots of father and son discussions and Derek and John chat all about The Boys Season 5 Episode 3 Every One Of You Bitches. The officially unofficial Boys Podcast returns to chat all about the third episode of the final season of The Boys in spoiler filled detail.
The Boys Season 5 Episode 3 Every One of You Synopsis
Head Writer and Developed by - Eric Kripke
Based on the comic series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson
Executive Producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Episode written by: Ellie Monahan
Episode directed by: Karen Gaviola
Synopsis: Vought cleans up Soldier Boy's image and he becomes a member of The Seven. Sister Sage reveals that the first version of Compound V, V1, which Soldier Boy has, slows the aging process so much that it makes him practically immortal. This prompts Homelander, after an angelic hallucination of Madelyn Stillwell, to pursue a vial of the legendary compound V. V1. 
Meanwhile, the Boys, with Stan Edgar's help, locate a base where V1 may be located. Butcher finds Ryan and gets Ryan to agree that he will kill Homelander with the virus, even though it will kill both Butcher and Ryan in the process. 
Elsewhere, Zoe Neuman, still angry at Butcher for killing her mother, also finds out that her father, Sameer, is still alive. As they leave Butcher’s makeshift laboratory they destroy the remaining samples of the virus. 
The Deep, Cindy, Dogknott, and Black Noir II are after Stan Edgar for Homelander and arrive at his bunker. After getting inside, thanks to Maverick, Translucent’s son (who finally knows the truth about Hughie’s role in his killing), Noir captures Edgar. But in the game of the Seven, Deep betrays him, knocking him out, so that he can take Edgar to Homelander himself. In the fight at the bunker, meanwhile, Maverick confronts Hughie and in the fight Cindy kills Maverick and Annie kills Cindy. 
Against Butcher’s advice, and without the virus, Ryan confronts Homelander about raping his mother, Becca, which leads to a violent fight that leaves Ryan badly injured. 
As the Boys plan to find the V1 near the site of an old base called Fort Harmony, Annie takes off and leaves them, while Butcher finds the wounded Ryan.

Invincible 407 Don't Do Anything Rash Synopsis
Created by: Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, Cory Walker
Episode Written by: Helen Leigh
Directed by: Stephanie Gonzaga
Thousands of years ago when the Relonian’s began an uprising against their Viltrumite oppressors the leaders argued over what was to be done. A younger Thaedus argues that their strength should not be punished but their leader Argyll is unmoved ordering 25% of their race be destroyed.
Before the plan can be enacted Thedeus assassinates Argyll and flees the planet. Determined to root out the perceived weakness that caused his glorious leader’s death, the new regent Thragg orders all Viltrumites to destroy all weakness they find, leading to the murder of millions. Only the strong survive.
In the present day, Theadus leads a team of the coalition's strongest warriors including Nolan, Mark, Oliver, Allan, Tech Jacket and Space Racer to the planet Viltrum. He hopes to catch and kill Thragg and a small group of Viltrumites before they’ve had time to regroup and leave the race leaderless.
But they were prepared and both groups battled furiously against each other. Thragg makes one last offer to Nolan to come back to the Viltumite side and all will be forgiven. The planet is everything that they represent. Unable to beat the Viltrumites in the battle Nolan, Thaedus and Mark follow an Infinity Bolt from Space Racers weapon through the core of Viltrum destroying the planet and its legacy.
Furious, Thragg unleashes his power on the team, taking Thaedus head and Oliver’s jaw declaring he’s a mistake adding nothing to the Viltrumite race. He leaves Nolan beaten unconscious and is stopped short of killing Mark. Realising they’ve lost too many.
Weeks later Mark is awakened by Allan, the new leader of the Coalition of Planets. Allan has been tasked to find and retrieve the missing Viltrumites but as they discuss their plans Mark realises the superpowered beings are on their way to Earth.

John and Derek chat all about The Boys Season 5 Episode 2 Teenage Kix. The officially unofficial Boys Podcast returns to chat all about the second episode of the final season of The Boys in spoiler filled detail.
The Boys Season 5 Episode 2 Teenage Kix Synopsis
Head Writer and Developed by - Eric Kripke
Based on the comic series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson
Executive Producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Episode written by: Jessica Chou
Episode directed by: Shana Stein
Synopsis: Butcher leads the rest of the Boys to a laboratory, where Dr. Sameer Shah has perfected the virus to take out Homelander. Before they can be sure of the efficacy of the virus they need to do a test and plan to expose Rock-Hard from Teenage Kix to the virus. They intended to kidnap Rock Hard but he has become so massive they are forced to test the virus at Teenage Kix's crib. 
Following A-Train’s funeral, Homelanders self-centred introspection makes him realise his isolation and that only powerful can understand the powerful, so he awakens Soldier Boy from cryostasis for paternal reasons (I mean tactical reasons) and orders him to find Butcher in exchange for clearing his name. 
As Hughie, Butcher, and Kimiko get the virus from the lab they encounter Soldier Boy on their way back to Kix's Crib, forcing them to flee. Hughie and Kimiko race to get the virus to Frenchie, Starlight and MM who have been readying Rock Hard and the crib for the test; while Butcher lures Soldier Boy towards the crib as well as he sees an opportunity to test the virus on Homelander’s father. 
As Soldier Boy goes after Butcher he is accompanied by Teenage Kix members Jetstreak and Sheline, who have been rounding up Starlighters in the neighbourhood. Chasing down and confronting Kimiko, Sheline is knocked out while Jetstreak pursues and catches Hughie where he flies high to drop Hughie. Saved by Starlight, Hughie gets the virus to the house, just as Soldier Boy and Jetstreak arrive. Inside, the two supes are tricked to go after Hughie but it is Frenchie who releases the virus, killing Jetstreak, Rock-Hard, and seemingly Soldier Boy. 
The team make it back to their laboratory where Sameer tells them the virus does not transmit to humans allowing Frenchie and Kimiko to be reunited. While Frenchie wants her to leave because of the virus's lethality, she refuses. Both Kimiko and also Starlight are all in on the plan despite the risk to them from the virus. 
Back at the crib as Vought scientists begin to decontaminate the scene Homelander arrives and is devastated by the sight of the seemingly dead Soldier Boy as he turns and leaves, Soldier Boy suddenly awakens inside his bodybag.

Losing their numbers, Thragg orders a direct strike on Talescria to kill Thaedus, helped by the mole in lowering the planet's security. As they besiege the capital, Thaddeus , Allen and Zoe lead the fight, but are losing, until the recovered Mark, Nolan and Oliver arrive to beat their forces back.
