Satire is one of the most effective tools for political and cultural commentary -- and one of the most cherished forms of comedic expression in Western societies. Used appropriately, satire can (as Shakespeare once said) "hold the mirror up to nature" -- and be a catalyst for greater discussion and broader understanding.
Or it can make you mad. Really mad.
Season 4 of Amazon Prime's breakout television show THE BOYS is finally being recognized by a certain demographic of their audience for what it's always been: political satire aimed at a specific ideology -- and it sure has made people mad.
Join Joe as he breaks down what all the fuss is about, why the strong reaction is hypocritical and why satire still matters in our culture.
Joe also breaks down his top 10 films (so far) in a mid-year check-in for 2024...and why the best may be yet to come to cinemas!
