The Boys Proves Fascism Is Deeply Predictable | GENRE FRICTION

This week, Jessie and Giraffe sell out to Vought Networks and dive into The Boys Season 5. Is the satire still sharp, or has the blood-soaked superhero machine finally become the thing it was mocking?

It’s also a trailer-heavy week, with new looks at DC’s Clayface , Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 4 , House of the Dragon Season 3 , and yet another Resident Evil project, forcing the eternal question: how many Resident Evils is enough Resident Evil? And we talk about Star Wars: The Acolyte returning to the Disney+ charts.

For recommendations, Jessie brings The Edge of Space by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, while Giraffe heads to vampire suburbia with Dimension 20’s new Dropout campaign, City Council of Darkness.
