The Boys Series Finale Was DISAPPOINTING?? + Backrooms Movie & The Odyssey Casting Drama | Ep. 23

The nerds are back for Episode 23! We kick things off with a Spurs playoff update before diving deep into the series finale of The Boys — was Homelander's death satisfying? Did Butcher deserve his ending? And why did the final season leave so many plot holes? We break it all down. Then we shift to upcoming movies everyone's talking about: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and whether the casting controversies are worth the rage, plus who really qualifies as a TRUE movie star in Hollywood today — Timothy Chalamet, Zendaya, Christian Bale, and more are up for debate. We also get into the Backrooms movie directed by Kane Parsons — what the backrooms lore is all about, liminal spaces, and why this could be the next massive universe for nerds everywhere. Plus a quick review of Passenger before we wrap up!

On today's episode of Two Nerds and a Universe, Alex and Brandon are covering everything happening in the nerd universe right now. The Spurs are heating up the playoffs and Wembanyama is proving the doubters wrong — but is this a fluke or a sign of things to come?

We're also debating whether the Avengers Endgame re-release is a cash grab or legit fan service, reacting to the new Lord of the Flies TV adaptation, breaking down the Godzilla Minus Zero sequel teaser, and diving into the Clayface trailer and the messy state of the DC Universe.
