Title: Amazon Prime Show "The Boys"
Post by: Godfather on July 29, 2019, 12:11:45 PM: Title is weird and not what you think.

Basic Storyline: Super Heroâ€™s exist but are privatized through a private company. They save your town but are also into merchandising, branding, making movies etc. all. Billion-dollar business. If you want a superhero for your city you have to pay 300 million a year to have one. Did I mention that the superheroes themselves are shady and only care about money. They also work with impunity and they donâ€™t really care about collateral damage, including innocent peoples lives.

Stars the ever hot Elizabeth Shue as the CEO of the Superhero company. Whom I would do naughty things too.

and Karl Urban. rest of the cast rounds out some somewhat familiar faces but I couldn't tell you their names or where I might have seen them before. Simon Pegg stars in a limited supporting roll.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night and cannot wait to see the rest. Great show, strong promise, lots of twists and turns.

Recommend to add to the top of your must-see list.

I may try it at a later date.

FYI: Nothing like Hancock

He seems out of his league. Still, I'm intrigued enough to keep watching to see where it goes. The whole super hero genre is ripe for skewering and this is doing that well.

The tiny 'Holy Diver' at the supe bar made me laugh.

Elisabeth Shue is as hot as she was when she was babysitting. I'd give up a lot for her.

In addition, I would love to make Starlight sparkle. There's something about that I just like. As in a lot.

This is what also has me. It's new, I'm tired of the same old schtik.

I advise you to avoid Auburn football this season.
