The visual cuisine for this Monday night is the season finale of The Boys season 4 followed by the early "season 0" of Battlebots due to popular demand.
The Boys is a show based off of a comic that satirized mainstream superhero comics, it has frequent shock/gross-out humor with bombastic, graphic violence. The first few minutes of the first episode of season 1 will give you a general idea of what the show is about. It's essentially superheroes but with capitalism coupled with contemporary political satire.
Battlebots is a show about people making robots that fight in an arena, it is based off the season 2 My Life as a Teenage Robot episode "Robot Riot."

Also, you might get the hosts back before they knew what they were doing!
Chris Rose was a football commentary guy, so he just had to adapt to BattleBots. Over the years, he eventually learned how things worked and is a pretty good commentator now, but I still get the vibes that he's a "football guy".
Kenny Florian otoh, is a real fan. Dude came to really understand combat robotics on a deep level. A few season in, he starts giving input that even competitors might even miss.
Jenny in the pit, was very good. They stopped hiring her when COVID hit, and it was a real loss to the show.
You won't get to Pete, the Bot Whisperer, but he was legit. Used to be a competitor (Ronin was a OKAY bot, but Pete is GOOOD.)
Most recent seasons he hasn't been on camera much, but he feeds Kenny and Chris lines.
Anyways, I have a robot combat competition next month and if I can find a way to not doxx myself I might post some vids
