Van almost dropped the “it’s my show” on them. I’m dying

The nods between Newman and Sage while her hands are full of cake had me ROLLING! I've rewatched that 10 seconds an embarrassingly amount of times 🤣

Vans superpower would be to raise the rent on single mothers apartments

I believe this show(Acolyte) will be better watched as a binge. They gotta fix the way they divide these shows up into episodes. Either binge drop all of them, or do a better job in the release plan.

Exactly what I’m waiting for. I’m a casual SW fan so I don’t care about the spoilers

That's really dope Steve's mom!!

How did they go so quickly from SW is a show that kids watch to "Who's the thickest Jedi"? Porno Van needs to relax!!!! 😂

5:36 - the "Pew-Pew" in Papyrus is killing me right now! 😅😅😅 Good effort, mom!

I made Jomi’s laugh my ringtone. Creeps people the hell out.

Charles face when Jomi said "I don't like nuts in my cookies" lmaooooooo

If you guys ever have any slow content weeks/months, I would love to see you do a retrospective review of the Star Wars movies

I wonder if Qimir had allowed Mae to try on the helmet…i think he wanted osha all along. Also, the whole Sol (alternate term for the sun/ Qimir (Qamar meaning in Arabic is moon) is part of that duality in the shows title and not for Osha/Mae

Great observation ❤

really appreciate the nuanced discussion! great point about the momentum being slowed in this ep!

Thanks for making me laugh y’all lmao 😂 can’t wait to see you guys at the live show soon!

Charles has more hate for the bad actions of the black characters (Sage and A-Train) than he has for the non black characters who have done more and worse. But are we really surprised? Like Kimiko is your favorite character? We literally just found out she recruited kids into an army and then left them for dead. And Frenchie offed and a entire family and knowingly started sleeping with the son. Do the ridiculous clutch my pearls morals only apply to the black characters? It’s giving black person who doesn’t like black characters unless they’re squeaky clean perfect.

The Angelina Jolie as a Sith/Darksider idea needs to happen now.

Yeah the entire Mae/Sol half was honestly just bad. 1) Sol can’t sense that’s Mae?? I understand he’s emotionally distraught but she isn’t some kind of master of her thoughts and feelings. Oh also she has a tattoo on her now visible forehead 2) Why didn’t bazel just tell my guy Sol?? What is this trying to like kick her in the shin and run away while we play looney tunes music?? 3) The ONE legitimately engaging emotional moment with Sol looking at that screen and acting his entire face off gets undercut by some zany cartoon music cue that plays Bazel in right as Sol leaves and it was the most jarring emotional pivot I’ve ever felt

On number two, Sol doesn’t know his language. Agree on the rest

So I too have felt that this season is spinning its wheels at times too and then I thought about what we've seen.....everyone of the main characters in the show this season has had a crisis of conscience. Everyone at this point is struggling with or has been confronted by who they had been, who they are, and who they want to be moving forward. This season will end with more questions than answers with the hope to have all things addressed in the final season. I think this season was the setup and had to dig into the psyche of who these people are to see what they may possibly become in the final season.

The Boys is a wild show, but it like a set up season to a bigger series finale last season.

I stayed up late to catch this podcast as soon as it dropped. Just so i could comment #makejomilookatit. #theboys

Van, put that phone away 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

The boys has the same problem Preacher had, but for the exact opposite reason. They try to put Too much of the source material into the Boys but ignored it too much in Preacher.

The problem with Starlight is they made Firecracker essentially powerless. Why nerf your hero when you could just make their rival powerful?

Yeah it would have been better for firecracker as a whole if she was at least Starlights power level. She's so weak I feel like she's only surviving because of plot armor.

Who's show?

You guys don’t care about this season as much because nobody cares about mental health 😂😂 look at the mental health of every character…they’re all spiraling hard. Edit: of course Van calls Laz and Laz mentions the mental health aspect 😂

I really liked episode 6 of the Acolyte (& I LOVED episode 5) but I TOTALLY get anyone saying 'WHAT IS THE MYSTERY/WHAT HAPPENED?' Imagine if the last 2 episodes were actually 2 & 3 and we got here in a hurry? Would it have worked better?

Show is way better when it focuses on Qimir and Sol.

can't believe no one mentioned Aayla Secura or (Clone Wars) Bariss Offee among the sexy Jedi. honorable mention to Dr. Rig Nema.

Real Hitler was incredibly stupid.

1:02:47 I’m suss on Sol…if he ends up Sith I’m calling him Darth Squidious

We are seeing this in two shows right now... the penultimate seasons of The Bear and The Boys are giving us more character development than the story for a reason... the climax is coming and we need to feel for these characters no matter what will happen. As a WHOLE, these series will end up being phenomenal stories from start to finish.

We need Charles to stop going first. He’s a world class hater.

Like they rap3d HUEY????

Just like The Boys crumbling under the weight of the lore, the Midnight Boys crumbles under Hollywood Holmes hot takes any time Van systematically breaks them down with superior logic.

59:25 Van’s receding resurgent hairline watch

Let them make a Netflix live action Naruto and Watch how much Charles cares.

Bring them home now!

I need a spoiler, does van phone out his pocket???

Yesss

Agree with Steve here at end about the Acolyte. The mystery of who killed the witches is not the most interesting part of the show. I think the show has always been about the fall of the Jedi to the dark side. I think by the end we will see a few Jedi fall.

I love the Midnight Boys. But gotta be honest. Starting with Charles hating on a show or movie everytime and the others defending it is getting very repetitive.

I agree with that. I don't have a problem with him criticizing things, but maybe he shouldn't always go first since that's going to set a certain tone for the rest of the episode. That being said, if anyone else goes first and expresses a positive opinion he tends to jump in and accuse them of lying anyway so idk

It’s interesting now that we have video. Watching him sit there and pout and be mad bc others are liking something is hilarious.

1:52 Where is HR at the Ringer though? Van trying to pass off harassment as comedy right away in this one...

I love Van, but if this is gonna be a video project now, then he’s gotta get off the phone in the middle of the podcast. It makes it seem like he doesn’t care or isn’t interested.

Charles was soo based at 12.04. His reasosn were also why the episode doesnt work for me.

100% They made a fucking Santorum joke in this episode. What is it 2012?

Its a close competition between Acolyte and House of Dragon characters who are the painfully dumbest

This should not be pulling In Rhaenyra for trying to prevent a war and doing something Daemon did, while being less recognizable

Love you guys, but comments like "genocide enabler" show some serious weak spots in education and understanding. Please keep those poorly informed opinions to yourself, Charles.

No word about 120 hostages Charles? Hypocrite

You guys are just wrong. Your wrong.

Jomi wack

Acolyte is not a good show lol wtf yall talking about? Where did 180 mil go to? Not to the writers… we have 40-45 mins left and nothings happened. Andor had some good writers. Even Ashoka kills this show. This is horrible.
