Episode 519 – Fatality by Committee | TV and Movie Reviews

Finish Him… Frenchie is Cooked! This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl test their might with Mortal Kombat II, check in on the latest round of Homelander-induced misery in The Boys Season 5 Episode 7, suffer through The Punisher: One Last Kill, run the floor with the first four episodes of Running Point Season 2, and close things out with a good old-fashioned Odyssey bitch fest. You know, culture.

Somewhere, Homer is either proud, confused, or asking why everyone on the internet suddenly thinks they are a classics scholar with a Letterboxd account.
