The Boys unleashed an unapologetically ultraviolent response to the entertainment industry’s seemingly interminable array of live-action superhero fare with a TV series created by Supernatural and Timeless's Eric Kripke, adapting the bleak comic book series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The result was a serial offering that's said to be one of the most-watched shows for the Amazon Prime Video platform.

Amazon was clearly privy to the fact that The Boys was something special even before it premiered, since the online retail monolith's streaming arm preemptively ordered a second season of the series back in July during SDCC season. (If you're so inclined, do check out our review of The Boys Season 1.)

Here's everything to know about The Boys Season 2!

The Boys Season 2 Trailer

The first teaser for The Boys season 2 has arrived. Amazon Prime unveiled this first clip during CCXP in São Paulo and it looks like a bloody good time.

The Boys Season 2 Release Date

The Boys Season 2 is set to arrive on Amazon Prime Video sometime in 2020, though no specific date was divulged.

For the sake of context, Season 1 arrived on July 26, 2019, so we should expect at least a full year to wait for the next chapter.

In the meantime, the first image from the second season of The Boys has arrived in the form of this crimson-soaked, bird-flipping set photo, courtesy of showrunner Eric Kripke, who's seen in the center among cast members Tomer Capon, Karen Fukuhara, Jack Quaid, and Laz Alonso.

The Boys Season 2 Cast

Patton Oswalt is joining The Boys Season 2 cast for a "secret role," as confirmed by a tweet from showrunner Eric Kripke. Oswalt, the veteran comedian and narrator for ABC’s The Goldbergs, is coming off TV runs on Hulu’s revived Veronica Mars and Netflix's revived Mystery Science Theater 3000, along with recently-cancelled offerings in NBC’s A.P. Bio and a co-starring voice role as the titular imaginary friend unicorn on Syfy’s Happy!. He also fields a sporadically-revisited role on ABC Marvel series Agents of SHIELD as the lanyard-fixated identical Koenig siblings.

Kripke has been slowly turning The Boys into a reunion of his gone-but-not-forgotten NBC series, Timeless. While that show’s co-star, Malcolm Barrett, provided a memorable cameo on Season 1 (more on that later), it appears that two more key personnel from the time-traversing Lifeboat are set to recur on The Boys Season 2, according to Deadline.

Goran Visnjic will play Alistair Adana, “the charismatic and shadowy leader of a mysterious church.” Visnjic, who co-starred on Timeless as antagonist-turned-ally Garcia Flynn, has since fielded a run on Netflix’s now-canceled Santa Clarita Diet, with other runs on NBC’s Crossing Lines, CBS’s Extant, and films such as General, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and pre-MCU Marvel spinoff Elektra. He’ll next be seen on the November-scheduled Hulu comedy series, Dollface.

Claudia Doumit will play Victoria Neuman, “a young wunderkind congresswoman.” Doumit is best known for her Timeless role as tech wiz (and love interest to Barrett’s Rufus,) Jiya. She has since put in an appearance on the Cate Blanchett-headlined comedic mystery, Where’d You Go, Bernadette, with a pre-Timeless CV that includes comedy film Dude and TV appearances on Supergirl, How to Be a Vampire, Scandal and Mike & Molly.

Getting back to Malcolm Barrett, the report also confirms that he will return for Season 2 as Seth Reed, who, as he explained in a Season 1 therapy session, is a Vought Marketing executive whose sexual encounter with a frozen-powered Supe forced him to “let it go.” – And we’re not talking about his fears. Barrett, like Visnjic, also put in a recent appearance on Santa Clarita Diet, and comes off another TV run on AMC's Preacher. Amongst his credits is a role in 2014's Dear White People, a series-long run on ABC 2009-2010 sitcom Better Off Ted and a 2002 guest spot on HBO's The Sopranos.

They join an initially-announced newcomer...

Aya Cash was the first new cast member to join The Boys Season 2. Variety confirmed the news prior to The Boys panel at July's SDCC 2019 panel. Cash, as Deadline reported earlier, is rumored to be portraying superhuman Nazi antagonist, Stormfront. The casting would represent an intriguing spin on the character, not just because it would be a gender swap of the originally-male villain, but due to the fact that, in the comic, Stormfront – the iron-fisted leader of Avengers-parodying super-team Payback – is a Hitler Youth-raised Neo-Nazi; a powerful, Superman-esque (or, if you will, Homelander-esque) caped pseudo-superhero, who publicly claims to be the electrically-created reincarnation of a Viking, but is, in actuality, the result of a Captain-America-like super-soldier experiment by the Third Reich.

Moreover, the character loudly adheres to his pro-Aryan ideology, often with brutal results. Pertinent to the buildup generated from such a character – and at the risk of divulging some comic spoilers – Stormfront eventually meets a brutal (and I mean BRUTAL) death at the hands of The Boys; a notion that should generate curiosity with regard to the gender swap, especially if the show decides to closely follow the comics.

Cash is coming off a 5-season run as the star of FX comedy series You’re the Worst, and recently put in another role for the network in its Fosse/Verdon miniseries. She’s also banked appearances on Easy, the revived Will & Grace and, years earlier, on HBO’s The Newsroom and short-lived Fox sitcom Traffic Light, along with film roles in Social Animals, Game Over, Man!, Mary Goes Round and The Wolf of Wall Street.

Social Animals

Nothing kills a comedy quicker than a clammy feeling that it’s a little too eager to prove how audaciously smart and subversively hip it is. Consider that “Social Animals” was originally titled “F*cking People.” Good thing it was replaced since that coy little asterisk is just asking to be slapped. The film desperately tries to be wild and out of control, but it ends up as more of a slapdash portrait of cartoony desperation than any sort of realistic depiction of millennial angst when it comes to current-day female lifestyle choices. Writer/director Theresa Bennett picks the over-tried but rarely true framework of focusing on three 30-ish women—struggling body-waxing salon proprietress Zoe ("Saturday Night Live" alum Noel Wells), engaged band manager Claire (Carly Chaikin) and neurotic mom of three Jane (Aya Cash)—as they grapple with the concept of what was once known as maturity but now is cutely referred to as “adulting.” In the process, Bennett basically kicks any Bechtel test considerations to the curb by primarily defining these ladies by their sexual proclivities (or lack thereof) with men. While there might be some gold to be mined from a deep dive into relationship choices beyond married with children, this depiction of alternate options barely skims the surface.

Bennett at least takes a stab at post-Trump social commentary with an early montage of outdoor graffiti art that decorates a gentrifying Austin, Texas, neighborhood. Needless to say, the messages lean to the left. Among them, “Make America Hate Again,” “Live a Great Story,” “So Close Yet So Far Out” and “Coming Soon: More Rich People.” Verbally, there is a slight attempt at a Melania joke, too. So far, OK.

Then the plot kicks in. Imagine if “Girls” were a mumblecore production packed with cursing and bad behavior but without any explicit canoodling. Pot-loving, flask-carrying party girl Zoe, who gets the most screen time, is given an excuse for her irresponsible behavior and lack of social skills. Her parents, who she describes as “the Bonnie and Clyde of tax evasion,” are both dead. She lives in a tiny trailer and is about to be evicted by her fed-up landlord—or, rather, lawn-lord—while her follicle removal biz is on the verge of going belly up. But instead of scrambling to get a new source of income, Zoe indulges in a string of one-night stands that she chronicles with Polaroid photos.

As for gainfully employed buddy Claire, her fiancé is such a diehard Republican, he gets turned on by re-watching the 2000 GOP presidential convention and forces her to wear a George W. Bush mask during sex. She goes through the garbage hoping to find signs of cheating just so she can leave him. Then there is Jane, who is overloaded by her truckload of responsibilities—including being the main bread winner as well as the caretaker of two unsmiling twin daughters straight out of “The Shining” and a 5-year-old son who thinks and acts as if he is a dog, to the point that he walks on all fours while on a leash. Meanwhile, husband Paul indulgently runs a cavernous video emporium, which appears to have zero customers – that is, until a curious Zoe stumbles in one day. Given that depressed Jane has lost all of her desire for Paul while encouraging him to have an affair, he and Zoe begin to hang together platonically—a situation that is bound to lead to romance.

The three ladies first intersect when they attend a wedding for bridezilla Lana (Samira Wiley in glow mode, who deserves a break from the travails of “The Handmaid’s Tale”), representing those women who look down upon steadfastly footloose singletons like Zoe. As for stand-up comic Fortune Feimster as sex-shop owner Sarah-Beth, she is tasked with pulling off the film’s detours into slapstick shenanigans, such as allowing Zoe to give her a Brazilian, a scene that doesn’t come close to Steve Carell’s man-scaping torture in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.” Feimster also delivers an oral sex seminar, in which cucumbers play a big role. But that demo pales next to Phoebe Cates’ school cafeteria carrot tutorial in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”

I guess Bennett deserves some credit for focusing on female interactions in her feature directing debut. Yet, the lone character who feels the most real and deserving of sympathy is Paul, who is fleshed out with some semblance of subtlety by Josh Radnor of “How I Met Your Mother.” He is in the impossible position of not knowing how to satisfy a wife whose main complaint, other than the fact he is about to lose his lone source of employment, is that he never straightens the hand towels in the bathroom. Also, Wells ups her acting game whenever she and Radnor shares the same space. But that isn’t enough to make up for the fact that the song over the end credits is called “Shit Makes the Flowers Grow.”

AYA Analytica financial health memo June 2017

As of June 2017, this regular podcast is available on our Andy Yeh Alpha fintech network platform.

CNBC reports the Top 5 features of Apple's iPhone X. CNBC reports the Top 5 features of Apple's iPhone X. This new product release can be the rising tide that lifts all boats in Apple's upstream value chain such as Foxconn, TSMC, and Pegatron with a major iPhone-driven bottom-line boost: iPhone X features edge-to-edge AMOLED display with more than 2 million pixels. This primary feature translates into sharper text and more impressive video playback for iPhone X viewers. A user can register his or her face with the iPhone X so that it automatically unlocks when the user looks at the screen. This facial recognition uses 3-D imagery that is more secure than the Samsung Galaxy S8 counterpart. This new tech also proves to be more secure than most fingerprint locks. Apple has the technical power to bring wireless charging pads for its iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X with patent-rich enhancements over time. iPhone X has a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a second telephoto lens for zooming in and out to ensure more robust videos and better pictures. iPhone X allows the user to leverage its new animoji feature to record video clips of his or her emotions. This animation not only provides greater human touch on iPhone X, but also gives the user the opportunity to customize his or her emotions in the now ubiquitous form of viral video clips.

President Donald Trump releases his plan to slash income taxes for U.S. citizens and corporations. President Donald Trump has released his plan to slash income taxes for U.S. citizens and corporations. The corporate income tax rate will decline from 35% to 20%. The number of marginal income tax bands will be reduced to 3 at 12%, 25%, and 35%. This tax overhaul represents a progressive pro-growth economic reform with better jobs, higher wages, and lower taxes for most American consumers, as well as lower risks, fewer financial constraints, and more investments in M&A, Capex, and R&D for many U.S. corporations. Tech stocks such as FAMGA (aka Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon) are likely to benefit most from this tax reform by repatriating offshore cash stockpiles to invest in U.S. job creation, robotic manufacturing automation, and more patent-intensive tech-savvy development in artificial intelligence, cloud software development, virtual reality, and network platform orchestration. The ripple effect manifests in the subsequent Fed interest rate hike, greenback appreciation, and positive stock investor sentiment. All of these probable macro ramifications contribute to an upward GDP growth trajectory toward the Trump administration's 2.7%-3.3% target range.

The Trump administration initiates a new investigation into China's abuse of American intellectual property. The Trump administration has initiated a new investigation into China's abuse of American intellectual property under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. This strategic move boils down to the fact that the U.S. has just fired the first shot in an open trade war with China. While tax cuts trump trade, this Section 301 investigation can be the first tangible economic sanction against China. However, Chinese retaliation may manifest in the generic form of large-scale U.S. Treasury bond sales, much less usage and consumption of U.S. soybeans, oats, semiconductors, mobile electronic devices, and other key imports, or both. These economic repercussions reverberate up and down the corporate value chain to induce an adverse impact on U.S. manufacturers, upstream suppliers, and downstream distributors nationwide. Despite this clear and present trade war with China, the Trump stock market rally continues to benefit the typical institutional or retail stock investor under Section 301 legal protection of U.S. intellectual property. The main beneficiaries are the R&D-intensive firms with numerous patents such as pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Merck, and Johnson & Johnson, tech-savvy platform orchestrators such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and IBM, as well as ecommerce giants such as Amazon and Alibaba. A potential threat may be the new opportunity. Every cloud has a silver lining!!

U.S. Treasury's proposal for financial deregulation aims to remove key aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act. The U.S. Treasury's June 2017 grand proposal for financial deregulation aims to remove several aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act 2010 such as annual macro stress tests, supervisory bank capital reviews, proprietary trading restrictions, and so forth. Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer warns that the current financial deregulation can be extremely dangerous and myopic. "It took almost 80 years after 1930 for America to experience another [global] financial crisis that could have been of that magnitude...now after 10 years everyone wants to return to a status quo before the [next financial downturn]." As prior monetary policy turns out to be a rather ineffective solution for the post-crisis macro malaise, fiscal stimulus garners a lion's share of public attention toward lower income taxation and indefinite tax holiday for corporate offshore cash repatriation. Regardless of whether the Dodd-Frank supervisory stress instruments should remain for a more stable U.S. banking system, the Fischer comment rings the alarm bell of fiscal quid pro quo for weak monetary stimulus. This information exchange offers valuable food for thought to the typical stock market investor. While the trend can be his or her friend, the investor needs to weigh the pros and cons of short-term stock price momentum vis-a-vis the close nexus between long-term economic fluctuations and stock market gyrations.

President Donald Trump criticizes Amazon over taxes and jobs. In a recent tweet, President Donald Trump criticizes Amazon over taxes and jobs. Without providing specific evidence, Trump accuses of the e-commerce retailer of hurting U.S. cities and states with job losses. Amazon's stock price declines quite a bit after this tweet. In his critique, Trump has targeted Amazon whose CEO Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, one of several major media outlets that have been swept up in the president's relentless fight with the press. Now stock analysts and market observers wait for Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to deliver on Trump's promise of a comprehensive fiscal overhaul with a particular emphasis on lower income taxation and special tax holiday for offshore corporate cash repatriation. In addition to its recent acquisition of Whole Foods, Amazon can draw down its offshore cash reservoir throughout the prospective tax holiday to continue the current Trump stock market rally. The same logic also applies to several other multinational corporations such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, and so forth. Although the stock market valuation seems high with a long-term P/E ratio of 25x to 27x, the Trump stock market rally may move in tandem with the current interest rate hike as new economic data suggest robust labor market recovery and capital momentum.

Many eminent investors suggest that the time may be ripe for a major stock market correction. Several investors and billionaires such as George Soros, Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, and Howard Marks suggest that the time may be ripe for a major financial market correction. The recent optimistic Trump rally has catapulted stock and bond prices by a 20% margin. This stock and bond market overvaluation seems to be a natural result of President Trump's generous pro-growth fiscal stimulus trifecta of lower income taxation, financial deregulation, and new infrastructure with corporate offshore cash repatriation. Whether the current Trump financial market rally can deliver tangible economic gains depends on the eventual GDP growth trajectory toward the target range of 2.7% to 3.3% per annum. During the current interest rate hike, we expect most stock and bond prices to moderately react to monetary contraction and self-fulfilling prophecy in a soft downward path. This new normal scenario does not necessarily correspond to secular stagnation in the precise words of Larry Summers and others. However, it is reasonable to anticipate a reasonable financial market correction in light of the recent nuclear standoff between America and North Korea, U.S. monetary contraction, and Trump trade conservatism. Overall, geopolitical risk remains the primary source of economic uncertainty as the Trump administration seeks to maintain a delicate balance between these undercurrents for better business growth and financial stability.

Top 4 U.S. richest people are self-made billionaires: Gates, Buffet, Bloomberg, and Zuckerberg. In American states, all of the Top 4 richest people are self-made billionaires: Bill Gates in Washington, Warren Buffett in Nebraska, Michael Bloomberg in New York, and Mark Zuckerberg in California. Indeed, all of these billionaires are great fundamental investors too. Through Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett invests in finance, energy, transportation, technology, retail service, and so forth. Gates invests in Microsoft, software technology, cloud service provision, as well as philanthropy. Zuckerberg invests in building Facebook as the world's largest social network with more than 2 billion active users. Bloomberg invests in financial data delivery and media service with worldwide fame and ubiquity. This infographic visualization does not include several other famous self-made billionaires, entrepreneurs, financiers, and investors such as Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Mark Cuban, and Larry Page.

Global financial markets suffer as President Trump promises *fire and fury* in response North Korean nuclear ambitions. Global financial markets suffer as President Trump promises *fire and fury* in response to the recent report that North Korea has successfully miniaturized nuclear warheads to place on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the face of new economic sanctions. Trump follows up with inaccurate tweets about the more powerful U.S. nuclear arsenal, whereas, State Secretary Rex Tillerson and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis both urge de-escalating the current situation and warn against North Korea's prospective nuclear threats and missile strikes near the U.S. military bases in Guam. In the presence of the dictatorial regime's ICBMs and nuclear threats, the current standoff might eventually become the Nash equilibrium of mutually-assured destruction (MAD). This deterrence doctrine helps prevent subsequent escalation and belligerence on both sides (U.S. and North Korea now and U.S. and Russia in the cold war and the Cuban missile crisis). Due to this imminent political complexity, global stock markets experience a pervasive decline in market valuation. This decline may be a temporary dip, and this transience can be a valuable stock investment opportunity for the typical contrarian investor.

Millennials can save to make a fortune with compound interest over 40 years. NerdWallet's new simulation suggests that a 25-year-old millennial who earns an inflation-free base salary of $40,456 and saves 15% each year faces a 99%+ chance of maintaining at least his or her initial investment over 40 years. This analysis shows that the adverse effects of even significant downturns can be smoothed out by a long-term fundamental investment strategy, if the investor is willing to stay the course. Given the opportunity cost of avoiding the stock market altogether (which could be as much as $3 million over 40 years) and the monetary benefits of compound interest for 4 decades, the bigger real risk may be not investing in stocks at all. Although past stock market performance cannot guarantee that the typical investor earns a hefty 10% average historical return in the future, the core value of investing in stocks with compound interest can be significant over a long time.

We share Warren Buffett's famous quotes on fundamental stock investment. This brief article encapsulates the timeless wisdom of Warren Buffett's famous quotes on fundamental stock investment, fear and greed, patience, risk control, success, prediction, gold, and so on. Buffett often spins and taints his words of wisdom with a healthy sense of humor. As a contrarian value investor, Buffett buys shares when the stock price falls below its intrinsic value, and then (seldom) sells these shares when the stock price rises above its intrinsic value by a wide margin. Recent empirical studies affirm this stock investment philosophy that a wise long-term investor should bet his or her money on small and profitable individual companies with low asset growth and high book-to-market equity. Betting against high market beta or short-term price momentum is no longer the conventional wisdom within the broader conceptual framework of fundamental stock investment.

Foxconn invests $10 billion in a new manufacturing plant for LCD display panels in Wisconsin. President Donald Trump has announced that a major Apple iPhone upstream supplier, Foxconn Technology Group (also known as Hon Hai Precision Group), will invest $10 billion in a new manufacturing plant for LCD display panels in Wisconsin. The press conference takes place at the White House with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. Walker suggests that this new plant is the largest economic development project in the state's history. Foxconn Chairman Terry Guo points out that Wisconsin shines as the clear winner among at least 6 American states while Ohio is a close contender. The new manufacturing plant will employ an initial intake of 3,000 workers while this intake can increase to 13,000 in the next 4 years. Although Apple CEO Tim Cook has yet to comment on Foxconn's new plant in Wisconsin, this latest financial news echoes the Trump stock market rally with substantial fiscal stimulus that manifests in the form of lower income taxation and tax-efficient corporate cash repatriation. Apple and its upstream suppliers together will invest their massive offshore cash in job creation, manufacturing automation, and digital technology innovation. Foxconn's ambitious expansion represents the first attempt by an Apple upstream supplier to invest in America. We will see more cascades of this positive progress in the foreseeable future.

Warren Buffett invests in American stocks across energy, transport, and finance etc. Warren Buffett invests in American stocks across numerous industries such as energy, air transport, finance, technology, retail provision, and so forth. The Oracle of Omaha has been outperforming most stock market benchmarks for several decades. Berkshire Hathaway's year-to-date stock performance is a hefty 25% excess return. Buffett's annual letters to shareholders illuminate the key aspects of his contrarian value investment philosophy. The fundamental value investor focuses on a given stock's intrinsic value from which the market price may deviate from time to time; and the contrarian investor buys shares when market sentiment puts transient downward pressure on the stock price below the intrinsic fair value, while the contrarian investor unloads shares when market sentiment temporarily boosts momentum in the stock price above the intrinsic fair value. A successful contrarian value investor buys stocks when fear permeates the stock market, and this contrarian investor sells stocks when greed percolates the stock market.

Josh Radnor & Aya Cash on Their Romantic Comedy Social Animals

From writer/director Theresa Bennett, the romantic dramedy Social Animals is an honest look at how life doesn’t always turn out the way we want, expect, or hope it will. When Zoe (Noël Wells), who’s facing eviction and dealing with a failing business while being resigned to a life of one-night stands, meets Paul (Josh Radnor), who’s in a marriage (with Jane, played by Aya Cash) that lacks any sort of honest communication, together they realize that while their whole world is unraveling, it might actually lead to a new beginning.

At the film’s Los Angeles press day, Collider got the opportunity to sit down and chat with co-stars Josh Radnor and Aya Cash about why they wanted to play these characters, what makes this romantic comedy different, telling a story without a villain, shooting at a video store, and working with a female director, both on this film and in general. Radnor also talked about his desire to direct again, and Cash talked about having to say goodbye, as she goes into the last season of her FX series You’re the Worst.

Collider: I have never watched a movie where I’ve hoped a couple broke up, as much as I hoped these two would break up, which was a little emotionally weird. It just felt like that’s what was best for these two.

AYA CASH: You can be good people who are bad together. That’s all right.

JOSH RADNOR: Good people, bad together.

CASH: Yeah, that’s the tagline!

How long ago did you guys read this and how much did it change, from when you read it to when you actually shot it?

CASH: I read it two years before we shot, so I don’t remember how it changed. I thought it just went into the black hole of meetings that happen, when you’re an actor, which is that you go in to meetings and you think you have a great first date, and then you see the movie that you didn’t get. So, I was like, “Wow, she’s so great! We got along. I liked the script,. But I guess she felt differently or hired someone better. But two years later, I got a call and they were like, “Do you want to be in Austin in two weeks?” So, I didn’t see how it changed. I just got to come at it anew. And then on set, the script was pretty set, with a little bit of improv, mainly by Fortune [Feimster], who is a creative comic genius. We stuck fairly close to script, with a little bit of improv.

RADNOR: I read the script and just tore through it. I really liked the character and I felt like I had some intuitive sense of how to play him, and I had a great meeting with (writer/director) Teresa [Bennett]. I had never been to Austin, and I loved her taste in music. The whole thing just aligned. I can’t remember how far in advance I got the offer and met her, but it wasn’t like we showed up on set and there was a wildly different script. She wasn’t very precious about it, but we stuck to the script, by and large. If something wasn’t working or we wanted to re-phrase something, she was so open to that. She kept her cool, in the best kind of way, as a first-time director.

CASH: She also took seven years to write it, so it changed a lot in those seven years.

RADNOR: We didn’t get all the old drafts. We just got the latest draft, which was the shooting draft.

What was it that you were excited about, with getting the play these characters? Were there things that you felt that you hadn’t gotten to do?

CASH: For me, that’s definitely true. I don’t normally play mothers who are responsible business people, so I was excited to do that. Obviously, she is going through something and there’s much more under the surface. Normally, I get cast in the Zoe role, so it was really fun to play the Jane role. When I first met on it, they said, “Think about both characters,” and I said, “I think Jane is more interesting to me right now, just because I’ve been doing the other for awhile.” That was really exciting. We all have different sides to ourselves, and there’s a part of Jane that rings very true to me. It’s not necessarily my best side, but it’s a side, and it’s fun to express that and explore that through a character.

RADNOR: Yeah, I liked this notion of polarity and opposites. I got to be in a romantic comedy, where you’re falling for a woman, and it’s this great romance, but then there’s also this crumbling marriage that’s at the heart of it, that’s kicking him into the arms of this other woman. All romantic comedies are essentially about what’s keeping them apart, and what’s keeping him from just jumping into this thing with Zoe with both feet is that he’s married with children, and he actually loves his kids and his wife. He’s got a moral compass, which I think is a fun internal conflict to play. His heart is drawing him one way, but his sense of basic decency and his marital vows are keeping him in this other place. When you’re an actor and you’re considering roles and seeing how juicy they are, you’re looking for that stuff that’s roiling underneath, and that keeps it from being basic and easy to crack. All of that internal combustion is good fuel, and it’s fun to play.

I enjoyed how this is really just a simple story about these people who are trying, but it’s just not necessarily working. We’re so used to big, flashy movies nowadays that it’s really nice to see an intimate story where people are trying to work things out.

CASH: Yeah. It’s so easy to have a villain or to have someone to blame, so that then you can be like, “Great, I know who to root for.” You’re kicked around in this movie, a little bit, as far as who you’re rooting for and what you’re rooting for, which is interesting to me.

RADNOR: A lot of movies sort people into types and say, but anyone who is even half awake in life knows that life is more complicated than that.

Josh, I loved the fact that your character owns a video store because I have all of these nostalgic memories of being in a video store when I was a kid. It was just was so sad that there was no one in his video store.

RADNOR: I know. That video store was amazing. They actually had both of my movies (Liberal Arts and Happythankyoumoreplease), which I was thrilled about. And in terms of the production design, wherever you pointed the camera, it was so rich with color.

Aya, you’ve said that you were looking for more female directors to work with, which is something you got from doing this project.

CASH: Yeah.

Was there a specific point where you noticed that you weren’t working with many female directors?

CASH: The moment you notice it the most is sex scenes. Doing sex scenes with male directors is a whole different feeling.

RADNOR: You should be clear that you mean sex scenes with male directors directing the sex scenes.

CASH: Yeah, not in the #MeToo way. It’s just a totally different vibe. And also, the language between men and women around the sex stuff, even if you’re being careful, adds another layer. When you can be franker about what’s going on, and what you’re feeling about a sex scene, about showing your body or not showing your body, and about the reasons why we’re showing sex, a frank conversation can happen when you’re working with women. It’s so interesting, doing a sex scene surrounded by a female crew. Even if there’s a female director, it’s mostly men on the crew. We had a female DP, and all the heads of department were women, so there were a lot more women on set than I’m used to. You don’t notice, until you get the opposite and you’re like, “Oh wait, it can be like this!” That’s not to say that there aren’t great men in this industry. It’s not to say that there isn’t a place for both. It’s not like it’s been so traumatic to work for men. But you don’t even notice that there’s this other option, and there needs to be more of that other option. I’m working on developing a movie, and there is a scene in the shower, where I would be in the shower, and it’s the first time that I’ve considered doing nudity. It’s my own shower scene, and I’m not sure that it’s necessary, but it’s the first time I was really like, “It might be important here, and here’s why . . .”

Josh, have you noticed whether you were or weren’t working with many female directors, yourself?

RADNOR: I’ve actually probably worked with more female directors than male directors. A lot of my feature work has been with women, Pam Fryman directed 200 of the 208 episodes of How I Met Your Mother. I worked with a great director, named Kimberly Senior, on Broadway, in a play called Disgraced. I’ve worked with Jill Soloway (on Afternoon Delight). I’ve worked with a lot of female directors and not had a bad experience. A set is a very delicate ecosystem and, as a director, I always want to create a space that the actors just feel really comfortable and really safe in, so that they can be dangerous in their work. You want them to feel that you see them, and that you’re going to pick their best takes and you’re not out to humiliate them. I think women are particularly good at creating that fertile environment, where great, risky work can happen.

Are you hoping to direct again soon, yourself?

RADNOR: Oh, yeah.

CASH: This is where he’s gonna announce his next movie, starring me. I did a reading of his, a long time ago, and he didn’t cast me, and he’s regretted it ever since. He was like, “Don’t worry, I will write you a movie.” Right?

RADNOR: Am I supposed to just sign on off this?

CASH: No, I’m just putting it in print. I’ll shame you into a job.

RADNOR: So now, if I cast you in my next film, people are gonna be like, “Oh, it’s because she shamed him in that interview for Collider. That’s why he did it.”

CASH: I don’t care! A job’s a job, baby!

RADNOR: You’re such a working actor dame. You’re like the Elaine Stritch of the indie film world.

CASH: Just bring it on!

RADNOR: Yeah, so, I have a script ready to go that I was gonna do, but other things got in the way. I’m looking to do something ASAP, so the answer is yes.

Noël Wells & Josh Radnor in First Trailer for Indie Film 'Social Animals'

"I know this isn't where you imagined yourself at this age." Vertical Ent. has unveiled an official trailer for an indie romantic comedy titled Social Animals, from writer/director Theresa Bennett. Not to be confused with the documentary also titled Social Animals, which just premiered at SXSW, this is a quirky rom-com about a young woman who is trying to get her life in order. Noël Wells (from Infinity Baby, Mr. Roosevelt, Happy Anniversary) stars as a "childless, single, broke, stoner" who attempts to salvage her failing business and love life while falling for a married man. Josh Radnor also stars, with Aya Cash, Carly Chaikin, Fortune Fiemster, and Samira Wiley. This "honest, uncompromising comedy of modern relationships" looks like pretty much every other movie about modern relationships, but as usual, it still seems enjoyable. ›››

The Boys Season 2 News, Cast and Everything to Know

https://ift.tt/2KITzia

They Boys Season 2 has been made official by Amazon, which also confirmed the casting of Aya Cash.

The Boys unleashed an unapologetically ultraviolent response to the entertainment industry’s seemingly interminable array of live-action superhero fare with a TV series created by Supernatural and Timeless's Eric Kripke, adapting the bleak comic book series from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. The result was serial offering that's already said to be one of the most-watched shows for its Amazon Prime Video platform.

Indeed, Amazon was clearly privy to the fact that The Boys was something special even before it premiered, since the online retail monolith's streaming arm preemptively ordered a second season of the series back in July during SDCC season, and even confirmed a previous report about an intriguing addition to the cast.

Here's everything to know about The Boys Season 2!

The Boys Season 2 News

— Eric Kripke (@therealKripke) August 10, 2019

The Boys Season 2 Cast

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. A week after news leaked of Aya Cash joining the cast of The Boys Season 2, The Boys season 2 now actually exists. Variety confirmed the news prior to The Boys panel at SDCC 2019.

Further Reading: The Boys: A Response To Cinematic Universe Madness

Aya Cash was in talks to join the cast of The Boys, Deadline reported earlier. Now the casting is official. Cash is rumored to be portraying superhuman Nazi antagonist, Stormfront. The casting of Cash as Stormfront would represent an intriguing spin on the character, not just because it would be a gender swap of the originally-male villain, but due to the fact that, in the comic, Stormfront – the iron-fisted leader of Avengers-parodying super-team Payback – is a Hitler Youth-raised Neo-Nazi; a powerful, Superman-esque caped pseudo-superhero, who publicly claims to be the electrically-created reincarnation of a Viking, but is, in actuality, the result of a Captain-America-like super-soldier experiment by the Third Reich.

The Boys Season 2 Release Date

The Boys Season 2 is set to arrive on Amazon Prime Video sometime in 2020, though no specific date was divulged.

For the sake of context, Season 1 arrived on July 26, 2019, so we should expect at least a full year to wait for the next chapter.
