How dare the crowd barely clap for Christian Slater. He's a legend!

[@dtaylor1539]

But yet couldn't do a bit of memorization? He had to read a 1 min intro and some corny jokes off his cards

[@albanyrodriguez7598]

He is not

[@snakekingblues3017]

I don't get it was he someone big?🤪 😗

[@ronaldmcisaac]

Agreed. I owned Heathers (1989) and Pump up the Volume (1990) on VHS, watched them over and over and over ...

[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

He always phones it in in interviews and now hosting too

[@marsw9155]

I can't wait to watch Jensen on this show. Not just because I love how much he's talented and workholic but also because this show is really my favorite show. It's like they gave me a crossover. I can't wait.

[@meeee4997]

Same, this is a fantastic show and to get to see my favorite (and multi-talented ) actor on it too. It's such a gift. I'm really excited he got to join and work with this amazing cast and crew.

[@wolfinthesnow2865]

The thirst is strong in this one when we be talking about how talented boy is. No, I get it, I'm just as dehydrated as all of you. That's a beautiful man.

I finally got around to watching it in full. Karen Fukuhara's cheerful and fun personality always makes me happy. "The Boys" Season 3 is only a month away. I can't wait!!

[@Handygramps]

Every time she smiles it makes me smile

[@bennyton2560]

she's such a cutie

[@niceceleon]

I loved the crowd when they announced Jensen! yeah baby we love uuuu

[@sarahkimberley9375]

Holy God! How is Jensen Ackles still getting better looking??? So glad him and Jared are still having career success after Supernatural 💖

[@quinns1529]

literally reverse aging

[@albinoleite6571]

After watching the first three episodes, being able to listen to them talking about the show without spoiling to much makes me wonder how hardcore herogasm will be!

[@Handygramps]

I heard them say in an interview it is the most outrageous bit of television ever filmed

[@elianagrant8456]

😂😂😂 what did you think?

[@albinoleite6571]

@@elianagrant8456 I got an unpopular opinion, was waiting for more...

[@cryssiLOVE]

Kripke bringing Jensen on was a stroke of genius. Not only is he an amazing actor - they got a good chunk of the SPN family that wasn't watching this show before. I sure wasn't. I gave it a shot, but it didn't immediately grab me. With ADHD, that means I lost interest incredibly fast. But then they cast the ONE MAN that could get me to watch it. 4D chess right there.

[@notforone]

SAME.

[@fkajaede]

thats sad.

[@SujataKhadka07]

Jensen Ackles 😭❤ so excited since I heard u joined The Boys. Can't wait for season 3 😁

[@Avaloneer1]

Same 😭❤

[@aradamichaels927]

I need to catch up with the boys. Love that Jensen is coming onto season 3 and even more, I love that Eric is finally getting credit as a fantastic director/showrunner that he deserves. He did awesome with not just SPN but also Timeless which is a show I wished hadn't been cancelled.

[@pnynx]

I'm happy the very talented Karl Urban founded great success with this awesome show, he's a versatile actor and so hot

[@Nomaddone123]

Watched the Boys as soon as I knew Jensen was Joining!!

[@Blemji]

I watched the boys as soon as I saw the show was existing!

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

After Homelander, Soldier Boy is easily my favourite character Really hope he will come back and has a big role for a while

[@k_love_zhan4941]

i binged watched all 3 seasons in 3 days just for jensen omg i felt sad cuz he was only the last 3 or 4 episodes but i loved him so much i want more of jensen and soldier boy

[@TheHellyeahmen]

I love how the host clearly didn't see the teaser before yet after watching he started reading from the CARD how cool the teaser was

[@TheSanoko]

Jensen and Laz are so funny !

[@frankcuoco1501]

Slater is not ever used to the full degree of his talents need to see more of him😁👊👊👊

[@ellie_winchester327]

21:47 he told this story at the first convention back in Denver😂

[@ryanwithacapitalB]

0:53 would be the scene i'll show to people who havent heard of The Boys, with no context given.

[@earlgaytea]

jessie making karen laugh at 33:30 was adorable

Can't wait to see Jensen in this!

Such a great show! Can't wait for season 4

19:35 After 6 Episodes of Season 3, I felt this lol

[@krisv1991]

How dare the crowd BARELY clap for Laz Alonso!

[@adityasathish126]

Holy shit, Christian Slator is such a boss to host this. This is Mr. Robot were talking about!

[@manumaster1990]

yessss

[@codyjames1054]

53:51 Eric Kripke's laugh sounds like Rocket Raccoon when Star-Lord's going over his plan in the first GotG.

Amazing show

That soin off show Kripky was mentioning souns like a twist on euphoria lmfao

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Awesome

[@chefjames3361]

Jensen Ackles, you should definitely make a play for Plastic Man. I get those vibes from you and now that you've done The Boys you could elevate Plastic Man to Deadpool heights.

[@RudeXII]

the sound guy is so fired

OMG she ate turtle soup! Turtles!

[@Fxns]

Wow that teaser trailer is some of the best stuff I've ever seen! Great editing.. imagine dragons never missed with music for movies or television... fucking sick!

[@Lancelotopum]

Where is as actor who is playing Frenchie?? I've checked whole youtube, he is not in promotial videos for this season (

[@TheFlashSawyer]

Same with Jack Quaid, he doesn’t seem to be on these panels 🤔

[@GreenPawelito]

Imagine Dragons music to Season 3 of The Boys I watched a gazzilion times.

[@sinnettepape2010]

Does anyone else think Butcher is Australian and British sounding at the same time?

[@YenShively]

He’s a Kiwi (New Zealand). But yeah I’d imagine his accent has changed over the many years of doing British accents for film/tv. Especially for the Boys, he has a Cockney accent but the Kiwi comes through quite a bit 🤣

[@kerryswails4581]

I’m here for Karen 🥰🙅‍♀️

[@meowwoof9026]

I think Eric Kripke has been hanging out with Seth Rogan too much, he laughs just like him

[@aj127_]

13:13. 16:00

[@wolfinthesnow2865]

You dont have to top yourself if the source material takes it to the limit and the boys source material goes way beyond most of what I've seen with these two eyes.

[@thehostofmmm]

29:44 - I was the one who asked this question!

[@Handygramps]

Why in the hell didn't Christian Slater get more applause???? Respect, people! This man is a legend!

[@JimNortonsAlcoholism]

He's phoning it in

[@Liusila]

I was squinting trying to see if it’s “that guy” and then trying to remember his name, and then I was wondering what he has to do with the show. I imagine the audience were either thinking the same or have never seen him before if they’re younger.

[@Soren81648]

Spoiler alert, favorite scene of season 3. “I am shootin ropes”

[@Frankcohle]

Loved Christian Slater on Mr. Robot, such good acting. Agree with the comments though, the source material has so much potential and the show is squandering it, leaning heavy into the wrong things.

[@hlsylsify]

Christian Slater. ❤️🧡💛

[@chefjames3361]

I sense the cast was hazing Christian Slater a bit during this?

[@xronskiispeed568]

I thought I just saw a ghost when I saw Christian Slater walk on stage. Last time I heard, he had passed at the beginning of this year 💀 man f*** the internet! 😂

So homelander is Donald Trump is what I learned.

[@japford7181]

Little did the writers know that biden was worse than trump lol

[@Illinois_Steve]

Ah, Kripke - you and your messages. One thing we could all use a little less of is politics.

[@Randal-su1bi]

So is Season 3 just a dump on Trump...I mean, that's easy; Kripke, try harder please.

[@alext399]

the past seasons have dumped on all of america, but trump is where you draw the line, ❄️?

[@thesaintzor625]

Watch it first man.

[@cicigonzales5542]

He’s been shitting on him the whole time. Must be hard only using part of your brain

[@KennyPowers89]

Kripke doing everything he can to make this about more. At the end of the day, most of us just watching it because it's good, not this dude's political views.

[@emmyjr1231]

bro, every memorable piece of media has some level of political commentary. get over yourself.

[@alext399]

you must have not watched the show at all. the entire thing is political. from the start. every single plot point has had politics.

[@raph6931]

The show is more a political satire than it is anything else. His political statements are what make the show good, because that's what the show is about

[@shortyp1000]

Literally every show has some level of political commentary in it.

[@Vorticosejeffy7]

Man I hope he’s not a democrat I almost feel like it couldn’t be true if he was

[@brianbagnall3029]

Trying to have a hot take on the topic du jour never ages well. I wish Kripke would stick closer to the source material and forget injecting his personal politics into the show.

[@emmyjr1231]

so you would rather he were republican?

[@raph6931]

@@brianbagnall3029 I know right, how dare Kripke improve the show by adding more depth to it. It'd be great if he could keep it less intelligent and less thoughtful. I also love not being exposed to political statements I disagree with, I love being ignorant of other people's viewpoints, I'm glad we agree on that!

[@brianbagnall3029]

​@@raph6931 Lol. You mean dredging up the same old tired themes that have been used a million times before counts as "depth" to you. Okay then.

[@raph6931]

@@brianbagnall3029 if you think all the themes discussed in the Boys are unoriginal you clearly haven't watched it lmao

[@enol1466]

I love the Boys but the Trump parallels are not subtle and kinda dumb. like yes he was a shit president and an instigator but he isn't a fascist dictator and there are a lot of other factors to bring up when talking about potential WW3. Like this show is so much more and can be a lot more than just "lol Homelander is like Trump cuz he's a mean powerful white guy lol" Like I think thats kinda understating what Homelander represents in the real world. Actual facism, work place harassment, the consequences of being raised without biological parents, childhood fame, mental illness, self conscious ego driven behavior.

[@nomadpurple6154]

Season 1 Episode 1 has a 'me too' scenario and NOW 'the woke' bothers you!! Scared the toxic masculinity storyline might hit too close to home......😂😂😂 Poor baby.

[@shortyp1000]

Are you new here? Rewatch season 1 and see if you can identify the political themes in it. They are obvious.
