AI Summary
5 min readThe final season of The Boys wrapped up with a pop quiz, a pile of listener feedback, and a lot of discussion about whether the show stuck the landing. Hosts John and Derek, on their podcast TV Podcast Industries, ran through the season’s trivia questions—from the name of the cabin where Starlight and Kimiko met A-Train (Bunk 18 in Wagner Woods) to the three items Hughie buys a pregnant Annie for nausea (ginger beer, ginger candies, and saltines). The quiz drew sixteen correct entries, with Mindy Megan from the US winning the prize.
