Paul AnleitnerGUEST
broader story that God's maybe writing.
Paul AnleitnerGUEST
So maybe for even like 10 years ago, a successful story that would have captured a young person's attention, might have been something about unmasking right like it's like a seeing through it's kind of the matrix thing or um you get kind of this really popular the most memed cape wearing you know anti-hero villain in pop culture for a while was this character called homelander you know he was a dark superman parody because everyone was deeply suspicious that all power was actually malevolent If you're like a younger zoomer into gen alpha, they don't want that Homelander story anymore.
Paul AnleitnerGUEST
What they want is they have to believe that a real virtuous Superman actually exists.
Paul AnleitnerGUEST
That's what they're looking for.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Yes,
Tim OzmanHOST
you're talking about the Homelander.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Look, they're very ham-fisted,
Tim OzmanHOST
I would say, when it comes to the characterization of people in movies.
Tim OzmanHOST
Like, it's almost like an effigy.
Tim OzmanHOST
Like, the Homelander was just kind of an effigy for Trump-deranged people to rage at.
Tim OzmanHOST
And, okay, so getting back to one of my original points here about this litmus test and how you respond to world-stage characters, if you have any derangement syndrome, you are in fact deranged because if you're trump deranged you're mad at him even though he's a construct because he's not doing any of this
speaker_1UNKNOWN
he's following a script
KayaHOST
Like between 2012 and then until today, 14 years or so, the...
KayaHOST
Like Hollywood and game studios, they went from, let's make a genuinely good piece of art that can be mostly enjoyed by both sides of the political spectrum, or not political at all, into now, Homelander has to be Trump.
JacksonHOST
I don't care if it's political.
JacksonHOST
A lot of the old games throughout history have been political.
Justin WaddellHOST
And of course, the star of the movie is David Andrews, who recently was on The Boys.
Justin WaddellHOST
I believe is the character that Homelander launches him into space, I think, in the last.
Nick NunziataHOST
And also the recently departed Frank Welker involved in this movie.
Justin WaddellHOST
Scooby-Doo's voice? Optimus Prime.
speaker_13UNKNOWN
I think you owe an apology to Mr. Richards.
Joe BartolozziHOST
I said Homelander.
Joe BartolozziHOST
[laughs]
speaker_13UNKNOWN
Would I be-
AJ BlackHOST
You know, I wouldn't say no to that.
AJ BlackHOST
One that really surprised me was Anthony Starr, a.k.a. Homelander from The Boys.
Mark McManusGUEST
And I never realised he was, like, around back then.
Mark McManusGUEST
No.
AJ BlackHOST
He is.
AJ BlackHOST
Like...
AJ BlackHOST
Homelander is one of the greatest villains in TV history.
AJ BlackHOST
So Anthony Stark could absolutely play a Bond villain, frankly, because he can do unhinged and petty better than almost anybody else.
PaulHOST
If you look at films in general though we have stuff like the Droogs drinking milk in A Clockwork Orange, Chigurh drinks it in No Country For Old Men and we also have Christoph Waltz's character in Inglorious Bastards doing the same thing.
PaulHOST
Rose drinks it in Get Out and Homelander of course drinks it constantly throughout The Boys.
PaulHOST
So if someone's drinking milk in a movie then chances are they're a bad guy.
PaulHOST
We then get to Dallas who's listening to music in a shuttle.
JasonHOST
Mm-hmm.
JasonHOST
They're trying to give us their Homelander, Soulja Boy dynamic.
JasonHOST
Like, Soulja Boy is clearly the stronger... villain or whatever you know what I'm saying but Homelander is more of the asshole you know so
MarcusHOST
but M. Bison could be more powerful he's more powerful in a video game like he's like yeah
JasonHOST
he powerful as fuck in a video game
NerdyHOST
Are
ClariceHOST
we doing Homelander shit over here or what? Like, Jesus Christ.
ClariceHOST
Oh, my God.
NerdyHOST
Can you imagine being Anthony Starr on that show and having to take lactaid to drink the fake human breast milk? Or they'd probably make it out of...
Chris RandazzoHOST
Connor.
Chris RandazzoHOST
Right, but also we don't understand how there were people that watched several seasons of The Boys and thought Homelander was the good guy.
Chris RandazzoHOST
That is
Dan RyanHOST
fair.
