This week ends an era — Wednesday May 20, the Boys series finale lands on Prime Video after a Tuesday-night 4DX theatrical preview. Then the weekend hands theaters over to one Star Wars title, with Boots Riley quietly counter-programming on the same day. Here is exactly where to spend your attention from May 18 to May 24.

🍿 Just binged Episode 7 of The Boys and we need to talk. Three massive beats in 66 minutes: a member of The Boys finally dies after five seasons of close calls, Homelander moves into the literal Oval Office, and Butcher's whole finale plan now hinges on turning Kimiko into the next Soldier Boy. The finale's eight days out and somehow we got more setup, not less. Strap in — and grab some tissues if you're a Frenchie stan.

Look. We are six episodes deep into the final season of The Boys, the title literally means "let justice be done though the heavens fall," and what we got is the chess-piece-arrangement episode before the chess-piece-arrangement episode before the theatrical finale. I mean that as a compliment. Mostly. Also Paul Reiser is back. 🍿

OK friends, Boys S5 Ep5 "One-Shots" just hit and yeah — Firecracker is dead, Homelander used the eagle statue (yes, literally, you have to see it), and somehow Padalecki and Misha Collins did a full Supernatural reunion in the same vignette and it works. I binged this immediately and I need to talk about it. 🍿

Okay. We're four episodes deep into The Boys final season — that's the halfway mark — and Ep 4 "King of Hell" just did the thing I didn't know I wanted: it split the fandom right down the middle. Some reviewers are calling it pure fun, others are calling it underwhelming. I'm here to tell you they're both right, and that's exactly why it works. 🍿

Last week CinemaCon told us what Hollywood is planning. This week, Hollywood shows what actually works — and what doesn't. Michael drops Friday, Boys S5 gets its midpoint shake-up Wednesday, and The Mummy's $13.5M debut is exactly the crash-landing skeptics predicted.

The Boys Season 5 is three episodes deep, sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it already feels like the show is done playing nice. After Season 4's divisive run, this final season is swinging for the fences — and connecting.

CinemaCon is live in Vegas with every major studio showing off their biggest guns, Lee Cronin's R-rated The Mummy is already scaring the hell out of early audiences, and The Boys keeps dropping bodies in its final season. Here's everything worth watching this week.

The Boys just premiered its final season to 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and the #1 streaming spot worldwide. Casey Throwback Mills looks back at how a blood-soaked Amazon show became the most important superhero series ever made.

The final season of The Boys premieres April 8. The cast is already warning fans about 'mixed' reactions. Here's the thing: this show stopped being great two seasons ago, and no amount of Homelander speeches will fix what's broken.

Three beloved series drop their final seasons in the same week, Star Wars goes animated again, and Dan Levy brings crime comedy to Netflix. This is a week you plan your schedule around.
