0:07.0 | The Welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is Abby Martin. |
0:30.9 | This is Robbie Martin. Welcome to Media Roots Radio. How's everybody doing today? How's everybody feeling out there? We ended the last |
0:43.0 | episode kind of quickly trying to wrap up about the boys TV show. We are going to talk a lot |
0:50.3 | more about Roe versus Wade, the overturning of it on this episode. |
0:54.9 | But right before we started recording, Abby, we were talking about how even shows like |
0:59.6 | the boys, even though we like them, it feels like they are generally designed to stretch |
1:05.8 | things out indefinitely to the point where even when you think consequential things are going to happen on the show, |
1:12.5 | major characters being killed or anything major happening, it always seems to kind of get |
1:18.6 | resolved to the point where it doesn't fundamentally change anything too much so that the next |

1:58.5 | feel, you know, in the first season. It always seemed to me |
2:01.2 | like it was living in the shadow of it. But I almost find it more interesting and more rewatchable |
2:07.0 | than Breaking Bad was. Like I rewatched all of season five in preparation for season six, and I |
2:13.4 | loved it even more. Like, it's one of the only TV shows that I have been able to rewatch like that. |
2:20.8 | So, yeah, I know that you have it. |
