Gen V Review (From the World of The Boys)
Daniel, Shahbaz, & Anthony review Gen V, a Prime Video series set in the diabolical world of The Boys. Gen V expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes—preferably with lucrative endorsements.

The series cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Gen V also features guest stars Clancy Brown and Jason Ritter, as well as appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, and P.J. Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys. Gen V premieres exclusively on Prime Video on September 29 with 3 episodes, followed by new episodes weekly.Watch and listen to The Movie Podcast now on all podcast feeds, YouTube, and TheMoviePodcast.caGet a whole month of great cinema FREE on MUBI: mubi.com/themoviepodcastContact: hello@themoviepodcast.caFOLLOW USDaniel on X, Instagram, Rotten Tomatoes, and LetterboxdShahbaz on X, Instagram, Rotten Tomatoes, and LetterboxdAnthony on X, Instagram, Rotten Tomatoes, and LetterboxdThe Movie Podcast on YouTube, X, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and Rotten Tomatoes Learn more about your ad choices.
