Super Troopers 3 Review Introduction

Look, it might be nostalgia talking, but I do have a soft spot for the Broken Lizard gang, because even though a lot of their comedy is quite juvenile, they commit to it with all their will. The first Super Troopers is this odd encapsulation of the post-millennium world and became a cult classic for a reason, and the sequel Super Troopers 2 recaptured some of that fun. But is third time the charm?  

So, to set the scene, life has continued for the Vermont Highway Patrol; only time has aged them, and now there are electric cars everywhere. But what no one could expect is that when Thorny’s (Jay Chandrasekhar) sister Sarita (Hannah Simone) is run off the road, it would be Farva (Kevin Heffernan) who would be there to rescue her from the wreckage and save her life. One whirlwind romance later, the pair are due to be married, much to Carl (Paul Soter), Mac (Steve Lemme), Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske), and new rookie Burns’ (Andrew Dismukes) merriment. But with Thorny and Sarita’s parents, Dr. (Iqbal Theba) and Mehta Makundan (Sakina Jaffrey) coming into town, Thorny has a mission: show Farva’s real side to his conservative parents and break up the marriage.

The Boys: Season 3 – TV Review

TL;DR – It was a slow start to the season, but it did start to hit as it went on, but more than anything, this felt like it was just setting everything up for a season 4 and not a complete whole in its own right.  

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Disclosure – I paid for the Amazon Prime service that viewed this film

The many press conferences of Homelander.

The Boys Review –

Some shows have a simple premise on the surface, but you find the depths underneath when you outwork that premise. With The Boys, we get ‘what if people with superpowers were pricks’, but from here, we start delving into what that means. What would having all that popularity and fame do to someone with superhero qualities and who could destroy ordinary people instantly. This is taken even further but exploring what corporate/political frameworks would exist to manage and exploit this phenomenon. Now we are in the third season, and all of that groundwork has been laid, but then the question is, what will grow from this foundation? 

So to set the scene, at the start of the season, everything is in a state of stability, or well as much peace that one can when dealing with people who can shoot laser beams out of their eyes. Hughie (Jack Quaid) is now one of the chief members of a task force working with congresswoman Victoria “Vic” Neuman (Claudia Doumit) going after rogue supes. The rest of The Boys’ team, Butcher (Karl Urban), Frenchie (Tomer Capone), and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara), run sanctioned missions targeting supes that mess up like Termite (Brett Geddes). Over at Vought, Stan Edgar (Giancarlo Esposito) has been keeping a more fractured Homelander (Antony Starr) under wraps as he goes on an apology tour after the events of Season Two and then promotes Starlight (Erin Moriarty) to co-captain to smooth over the disastrous press from the Stormfront (Aya Cash) revelation. But stability can’t last, and as Hughie sees Vic pop some dude’s head, he discovers there is no way he can get anything done while working in the system. Now from here, we will be looking at the episode and season as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
