Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and the ‘Gutfeld!’ panel dissect actor Anthony Mackie’s take on masculinity in America. Amazon Prime Video’s series "The Boys" returned for its fifth and final season, and showrunner Eric Kripke noted in an interview the superhero show is heavily inspired by real life. He said it’s a "sinking feeling" to watch real-world events that go beyond his show’s satire. "It’s not a great feeling. It’s a sinking feeling. It’s never great when the world out-crazies your superhero show with exploding penises," Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter in an April 7 article, citing "internment camps" and the use of federal troops in cities. He also criticized leadership, referring to the "clown in charge of the military" in comments about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
