MonoRants... The Boys

We finally reach the end of Season 4 and it goes out with a bang. So start the long wait for Season 5 by joining us for a final rant (apart from season wrap) about Annie's power-up, Cindy's return, Vic's departue, Sage's smartest move, Grace's bad choices, Homelander's new world and Ciara's favourite noise.

One last 2 part episode to break down the Season 4 Finale. Everything comes together in this rant about Homelander trying to brute force his plan into succeeding, Butcher trying to connect with Ryan one last time, Vic going public, Ashley's potential powers, Mono wanting Kimiko to kick ass and, oh yeah, the gang stop the President from being murdered. Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Bluesky: @...

Time to finish off the second last episode of the season. With only one left can you blame us for taking our time? Now let's get started on this rant about Butcher's shocking honesty, Frenchie & Kimikos healing, MM taking steps for himself, A-Train doing the right thing and Mono goes off on one. Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Bluesky: @MonoRants, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send...

We did it again again. So this could become a regular thing now. But today it's The Sevens turn to be first up in a rant about things falling apart for Sage, The Deeps romance being on rough seas, Homelanders hunt for the real leak, Ryan's "Starlight Moment" and us nearly forgetting about all the Bros. Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Bluesky: @MonoRants, Instagram: MonoRants_The_...

The Boys find out about a party Tek Knight is hosting for Homelander and some right wing big wigs, but getting in won't be easy for MM and worse still for Hughie. Meanwhile A-Train has a hero moment, Firecracker has a surprise for Homelander, Butcher has a realisation and we get to see one of our favourite comic moments.

We're back for part 2 of Episode 5 and we're ready to visit Old McVought's Farm. So join us for a rant about the return of Stan Edgar, the disappearance of Starlight's powers, V amongst the wildlife, Ciara being bang on about Butcher and Mono wanting the show to just kill Frenchie already. Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Bluesky: @MonoRants, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send yo...

We did it again. But there's just so much to rant about in todays episode. So most of The Boys take a back seat in part one of this rant as we look at the glory of the V52 Expo, Sage's gathering storm, Homelander's new approach with Ryan and Hughie's terrifying and then heartbreaking goodbye to Hugh Sr. Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Bluesky: @MonoRants, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send your...

Homelander goes home and nothing will be the same again in Episode 4 of Season 4. Firecracker intensifies her Starlight hate campaign under Sage's guidance and it causes Annie to spiral. Hughie and Kimiko try to score some V but get distracted by terrorists, while Frenchie makes a bad choice and something is very wrong with Butcher (but we can't decide what) Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono,...

It's MonoRants On Ice this week (or more accurately, Mono is on thin ice if he fucks up another record). The Seven is almost The Seven again as Sister Sage and Firecracker take their seats at the table. Frenchie, Kimiko, Hughie and Annie all attempt to confront their past in vastly different ways while MM is actually productive, Butcher has some actual growth and we say goodbye to an old frien...

We're off to TruthCon today to find out what's really going on. Butcher gets told to take a hike, but tags along with The Boys to see what Sister Sage could want at a conspiracy convention. Meanwhile Frenchie and Hughie must both face their past, Ryan's first save doesn't go according to plan and we keep getting ahead of ourselves (when we're not going on tangents). Find us on...

It's been a while but we're finally back to the main show. Season 4 is here and episode 1 gave us plenty to rant about. Butcher is demoted in his own team, Homelander is aging and not coping well and Victoria is set to become VP. But it's not all bad: Hughie is back to normal, Annie is flourishing out of Vought's shadow and Frenchie has found love. But we're still not sure how...

We've finished our first semester of Gen V so let's look back on what we learned during our time at God U. But we're not studying alone, as joining us are previous guests Anna aka Butcher's Canary & L.C. aka TheGreenCooler. Join us as we rant our way through Gen V's highs, lows, llamas, background supes, tie-ins and gross outs. A big thank you to our guests for being awesom...

All good things must come to an end and for us it really comes too soon. After Shetty's death, Cate convinces Sam to join her in freeing the woods and wreaking havoc on campus. The rest of the gang race to stop them even though that may mean protecting Vought, while Ashley calls in the Big Guns and we strengthen the case for Supe Llamas. Find us on twitter @rantsmono or send a message to monor...

In the penultimate episode of the season, the gang set their sights on Shetty and exposing the woods once and for all. But Jordan and Marie decide on a Plan B in taking their evidence to Vic Neuman, while Sam has a radical day out and we suddenly remember Cindy Find us on twitter @rantsmono or send a message to monorantspodcast@gmail.com

With the truth out and after returning everyone's memories, Cate lapses into a coma. But she brings Jordan, Marie, Andre and poor poor Dusty into her mind where they get to see the awful hardships Cate has suffered in her life. Emma and Sam reconnect and get serious, while Ciara has some trouble separating Jordan from their actors. Find us on twitter @rantsmono or send a message to monorantspo...

The gang wake up after one hell of a rager, but can't seem to remember anything. But it's not just the booze blackouts, they have days missing. With the blame quickly placed on Rufus; Jordan, Marie and Emma slowly start to realise that someone else much closer to them may be responsible. Meanwhile we get overly excited to meet a superpowered Alpaca. Find us on twitter @rantsmono or send a...

Sam and Emma have made it out of the woods and start to connect, but the gang have no idea where they are. Before they can find them they'll have to deal with another problem: Tek Knight's on campus looking for lives to ruin and holes to violate. Marie makes an ill advised attempt to find Emma and Mono comes to the realisation that with Teen Drama comes teen romance. Find us on twitter @ra...

What could be better than a tragic death to drum up some fundraising money. It's time for a gala at God U and all our favourite students are being dragged along by their parents, with Shetty using the chance to show off Marie. While Cate and Andre debate what their next move should be, we try to figure out the timeline of both shows. Find us on twitter @rantsmono or send a message to monorantspodc...

it's the first actual day of lectures and the excitement isn't slowing down for Marie. She's getting the credit for stopping Golden Boy and she's in the top ten. But she finds her newfound fame gets complicated quickly. Meanwhile Jordan struggles with their new ranking, Andre and Cate try to make sense of Luke's suicide and we want to kill Justine for what she does to Emma. Fin...

It's finally time to start the new semester at Godolkin University and no-one is more excited than freshman Marie Moreau. After meeting her roomie and stopping a supe on meth, Marie goes clubbing with God U's Top 3 heroes and a good deed nearly gets her expelled. A fiery final act sets up the season and we fall in love with Marie's roommate Emma. Find us on twitter @rantsmono or send a...

One more unexpected episode before we dive into Gen V. But it's a fascinating one as we got talk about "Supes Ain't Always Heroes: Inside the Complex Characters and Twisted Psychology of The Boys" with Authors Dr. Lynn Zubernis and Dr. Matthew Snyder. Join us for a sneak peek at the book and a discussion about incredibly realistic characters and portrayals, Campbells (both of em)...

Strikes are complicated and we are stupid. But we still have lots of questions about what the current writers & actors strike is all about. Thankfully someone who knows the score came to help us out. Join us for a bonus rant with fellow BOYS superfan, The Green Cooler, as she gives us the in's and out's of the WGA SAG Aftra strikes; where it comes from, the sheer audacity of studios, the c**ting s...

F**k know how we pulled this off lads, but I've pinched myself loads and I'm not dreaming. We are delighted to present: The MonoRants Darick Robertson Ranterview. We pinned him down to get the behind the scenes info from The Boys comics that everyone wants to know like: the inspiration for Jamie the Hamster, saggy superhero costumes, Simon Pegg's early TV career and the secret origins...

A brief summary of the voodoo that we do... do.

We're back one more time to talk Season 3 of The Boys. But this time we're discussing our listeners and followers thoughts, and we bring on our first ever guest; Billy Butcher Apologist @butcherscanary. Join us as we rant our way through your thoughts on President Homelander, Mr. & Mrs. Starlight, Maeve's happy ending and the Season Finale. Thanks to our contributors and Special Thanks to Butc...
