The end of an era has arrived. In this episode, Tae and Josh dive deep into the absolutely chaotic, brutal, and emotional series finale of The Boys (Season 5, Episode 8, "Blood and Bone").

We break down every major moment, including Kimiko's devastating loss and massive power upgrade, the chaotic White House siege, and that heartbreaking final clash between Butcher and Hughie. Plus, we have an intense debate over Antony Starr’s performance as a powerless Homelander and whether Butcher’s final choice ruined his entire arc. Pop a Compound V and join the conversation!
