About this episode
Amazon Prime takes us back to the Vought cinematic universe with Gen V , a The Boys spinoff of sorts about up-and-coming college "supes" -- and we're glad Nick Rheinwald-Jones could join us to talk about whether it's a TV campus worth visiting, plus the pleasures of thorough world-building, CGI peens, and putting the grodiest deaths out of frame. We went Around The Dial with Starstruck , Only Connect , and the first season of Feud , then headed out to Neptune, CA for Sarah's Canon presentation on the Veronica Mars pilot. Kevin James won, Linda Fairstein lost, and we all gathered around the non-regulation piano for another round of Tube Tunes in Game Time.
