"You and me are gods. Son, we can do anything we want and no one can stop us. Now that is a good feeling, a really good feeling."
-- Homelander to Ryan Butcher, The Boys: "Proper Preparation and Planning"
Hello again, everyone! It's time for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, my co-host DJ Nik and I discuss "Proper Preparation and Planning", the second episode of The Boys Season 2, featuring Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko Miyashiro, Antony Starr as Homelander, Shantel VanSanten as Becca Butcher, and Aya Cash as Stormfront!
In this episode, Nik and I talk about things like Nik becoming an uncle, The Boys' Season 2 soundtrack and its heavy reliance on Billy Joel, the "Proper Preparation and Planning" storyline in the comics, Jack Quaid being the son of Meg Ryan, Butcher constantly wanting to remind The Boys that he's in charge, Butcher being willing to pay any price to get his wife Becca back, Butcher writing down everything he can remember about Becca's location in crayon on a paper placemat, Rayner's funeral probably being closed casket, Grace Mallory not being impressed by an edible arrangement, Butcher punching out Hughie before he can get back in the van, my wanting everyone to keep close watch on the complex relationship between Butcher and Hughie, Homelander deciding to have some father/son time with Ryan, Homelander's frustration that Ryan isn't showing signs of his superpowers, Nik not being able to handle Homelander drinking breast milk, that awkward moment when Becca was told that Vought isn't going to do a damn thing about Homelander, Nik explaining Pippi Longstocking to Americans, Starlight trying to prove to Stormfront that she's not a Vought Barbie Spy, female celebrities being asked the same questions over and over, Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious and Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Starlight reaching a Mexican standoff with A-Train, that awkward moment when Kimiko is finally reunited with her brother Kenji only to find out he's a super terrorist, our favorite quotes of the episode, Oscar Isaac being cast as Moon Knight, needing all the WandaVisions, Fandom Zone Fanmail from Dave Proctor, and more!
