The Boys S5E4 Review | Homelander Is Mortal? & The Soldier Boy Grudge

Obsession (2026) Might Be The Best Horror Movie Of The Year So Far

We are a little late to the party on this one, but we finally sat down to talk about OBSESSION (2026)—the massive indie horror breakout that everyone has been talking about! It is absolutely crazy how a movie made on a tiny $750k budget by former YouTuber Curry Barker completely shattered the box office, pulled in over $340M, and became one of the biggest frontrunners for horror movie of the year. In this episode, we are diving deep into the pure chaos of this film. Let's be real—your man Bear (played by Michael Johnston) might just be the official poster child for the Friend Zone island. But by the time the credits roll, is he actually the true villain of the story? We break down: • The wild rules and side effects of the "One Wish Willow" 🌲 • Bear's borderline stalkish texting behavior before the wish even happens • That intense, awkward Jenga scene 🎲 • Ian trying to treat a demonic curse like a Target return policy with his $1 Billion mistake 📦💸 • Inde Navarrette’s incredible, unhinged performance as Nikki • Our official 0-to-10 ratings (Spoiler: We both scored it pretty high!) Was Bear the ultimate villain from the jump, or did the wish corrupt him? Hit play and join the conversation!

The Punisher: One Last Kill Review | Is Frank Castle Going to Prison in Daredevil Season 3?

The Punisher is officially back in the streets of New York, and he is doing what he does best—raising the murder rate! 💀🔥 In this episode of the Tae & Josh Podcast, we are diving headfirst into a full, spoiler-filled review of Marvel Television’s Special Presentation: The Punisher: One Last Kill. If you were wondering where Frank Castle was hiding out after the explosive events of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 and why he sat out the madness of Season 2, this project gives us the exact, bloody answer. Jon Bernthal actually co-wrote this script alongside director Reinaldo Marcus Green, and you can feel their DNA all over it. This is a far cry from your typical PG-13 Disney Marvel project—it’s a hard-R, unhinged, tactical action thriller that marks a true return to the gritty tone of the classic Netflix era. We break down the slow-burn psychological trauma of the first half, the insane John Wick meets Man on Fire neighborhood lockdown in the second half, and what that haunting ending means for the future of the street-level MCU. In this episode, we discuss: * 💥 This Isn't Disney PG-13: Why the raw violence and execution style feel like a massive win for core Punisher comic book fans. * 🧠 Frank's Fractured Mind: Analyzing those heavy PTSD hallucinations featuring the "ghosts" of his past, including Curtis Hoyle and Karen Page. * 🎬 The Action Choreography: Why they completely ditched the old shaky-cam format for wide, sweeping, tactical apartment and hallway shootout sequences. * 💀 Enter Ma Gnucci & Barracuda: Judith Light's chilling performance as the Gnucci matriarch and how leaving her alive sets up a future series. * 🕷️ Massive MCU Theories: How Frank's story connects straight to Spider-Man: Brand New Day this summer, and our big theory on the iconic Devil in Cell Block D comic arc for Daredevil: Born Again Season 3! * 📊 The Ratings: Josh and Tae give their final scores and debate where this ranks among Marvel's solo special presentations. What did you think of One Last Kill? Did you enjoy the slower psychological character study, or did you just want to get straight to the muzzle flashes?

The Boys 5x07: Is This Becoming Game of Thrones Season 8? | Tae & Josh Podcast

We are officially ONE episode away from the series finale of The Boys, but Episode 7 ("The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk") just dropped, and it has officially become the lowest-rated episode in the show's history. In this episode, Tae and Josh sit down to discuss whether the massive fan backlash is actually justified. The final season is running out of time, and the writing is starting to show some serious red flags. We debate the tragic—and highly frustrating—off-screen death of Frenchie, Kimiko’s brutal uranium treatment, and Homelander's terrifying transition into a literal Messiah. Plus, we get into the executive decisions that completely derailed the momentum of the universe: Why did the writers downplay the Gen V crew after building them up in all the marketing? And how do you put a powerhouse like Soldier Boy straight back on ice after less than 15 minutes of screen time?! We weigh it all out, give our official scores, and drop our big predictions for the upcoming series finale. Are we getting a massive White House showdown, or are the writers about to fumble the ending? Turn on notifications and subscribe so you don't miss our upcoming final episode breakdown next week!

The Boys Season 5 Episode 6: Did Soldier Boy Just Fumble the Game?

Everything we thought we knew about the endgame of The Boys just went out the window. This week on the Tae & Josh Podcast, we are diving headfirst into the absolute chaos of Season 5, Episode 6, "Through the Heavens Fall." We are officially two episodes away from the grand finale, and the stakes have never been more terrifying. In this episode, we break down: * The Immortal Homelander: How a massive "Hail Mary" play backfired at the goal line and turned Homelander into a literal god. * The Fight of the Week: Soldier Boy vs. Bomb Sight! We talk about the incredible chemistry between these two and how it sets up the highly anticipated Vought Rising prequel. * The Deep Snaps: Black Noir is dropping like a fly (again), proving that the Deep is at his most dangerous when his back is against the wall. * The Stormfront Blueprint: Tae drops a wild, unconfirmed theory on why her name kept popping up this week and how her DNA might be the only weapon left to level the playing field. We both landed on a solid 8.5/10 for this episode, but we want to hear from you. Did Sister Sage just take the biggest L of the series, or is she playing a game we can't see yet?
