'BEEF' Season 2: Netflix Has Still Got It
The TLDR here is simple: 'BEEF' Is the Best Show on Netflix right now.But hop in anyway because Ebube's summoned AJ and Soonen for a union that's decidedly NOT fueled by road rage or deteriorating romance. The trio get into everything from who's actually in the right this season, to what the show has to say about the systems that feed the human conditionThey talk about how this season is as much about class warfare as individual conflicts (4:27), in line with what this season of the show is truly about (6:31); as well as the richness of the performances (9:49), Josh and Lindsay's delusion (19:49), how power changes people (23:35) and why it's important for young men to have solid role models (30:02).Art does mirror life after all.You can support us here.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube UbochiGuests: AJ & SoonenProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

'The Boys' Series Finale: Cynical Optimism
Welp. Here we are. The show with the endlessly cynical take on superheroes has finally come to a close, and Ebube and Oseghale have thoughts. Let's make one thing clear, everyone got what they deserved. Well... Almost everyone. The guys try to make sense of the show's final chapter and address the internet's thoughts on what will go down as one of the most divisive series finales in pop culture.As they figure out if the show truly stuck its landing, they get into the potential hubris of cinematic universes (8:23); Antony Starr's career-defining performance (18:26); Butcher's alternate future (32:02); the current media literacy crisis (42:06), and of course narrative responsibility and the GenV-shaped hole in the plot.The end was entertaining, but undeniably diabolical.You can support us here.Also available on YouTube.Host: Ebube UbochiGuest: OseghaleProduction by: Ebube Ubochi
