There are plenty of benefits to starring on the successful Prime Video series "The Boys," but there tends to be one major drawback, too. Almost every actor involved with the series is guaranteed to go through at least one really disgusting, disturbing scene. Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight, ended up having a lube mix-up during the filming of "Herogasm," for example, and The Deep actor Chace Crawford had to pretend to eat his octopus friend, Timothy. There are also frequently a ton of bodily fluids involved, which is a major problem for the character Mother's Milk, who has obsessive compulsive disorder (Ocd) and a fear of germs. Laz Alonso, who plays Mm, has had to go through more than his fair share of gross-out moments, and in season 4, he went through his worst moment yet. 

On an episode of the podcast "The Midnight Boys," Alonso shared some behind-the-scenes details about...

Antony Starr garnered widespread appreciation for playing the villain Homelander in Amazon Prime’s The Boys. His eccentric nature leading to some of the most gruesome moments is one of the significant highlights of the show. Recently, in the penultimate season of the show, we got one of the most disgusting scenes when Homelander ripped Webweaver from the middle.

Although the fans expected to see such a Spider-Man knockoff in the middle of Season 4, it was shocking to see the character getting such a brutal death. However, what is more shocking is the fact that Antony Starr almost became Homelander in the scene by sharing a weird character trait with the supe.

The Boys never fails to surprise its fans with some of the most unhinged and horrendous sequences.

In its fourth season, Amazon Prime Video’s hit superhero satire “The Boys” has introduced its most daring Marvel parody yet: Webweaver, a character that takes aim at the beloved Spider-Man franchise. Debuting in the sixth episode of the season, titled “Dirty Business,” Webweaver has quickly become a talking point for both fans and critics due to its brazenly adult take on the iconic web-slinger.

Played by Dan Mousseau, Webweaver, whose real name is Patrick Whitehall, is portrayed as a low-level hero working for Vought International. The character’s introduction marks a significant departure from the family-friendly image typically associated with Spider-Man, pushing the boundaries of what viewers might expect from a superhero parody.

“Webweaver feels like a very specific send-up of Spider-Man,” notes one industry observer. “The sheer number of direct shots taken at the history of the character feels like ‘The Boys’ is really throwing some punches.”

The following spoilers for The Boys season 4, epiosde 6, "Dirty Business," as well as brief explanation of a sexual assault that occurs in the episode

The Boys' Webweaver is a dark parody of Spider-Man, taking pointed jabs at the Marvel and Disney icon. Webweaver's actions in the show push the Spider-Man archetype to extreme, obscene levels. Webweaver's role in the series may expand, potentially becoming a crucial weapon in the battle against Vought.

The Boys just took their biggest swing at Marvel yet with their Spider-Man parody, and it's such a crass character that I can't believe Prime Video let them get away with it. After being teased earlier in The Boys season 4, Webweaver plays an important (if somewhat minor) role in the sixth episode of the season, "Dirty Business." Played by Dan Mousseau, Webweaver is dark riff on many Spider-Man archetypes. As a longtime fan of the Marvel Wall-Crawler,...

Warning: spoilers ahead for The Boys season 4, episode 6, "Dirty Business."

The Boys season 4 parodies Spider-Man with Webweaver - a supe Jack Quaid's Hughie impersonates. Quaid's previous role as Earth-65 Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse adds a deeper darkness to his time as Webweaver. Quaid's performance as Hughie in The Boys showcases his potential as a live-action Spider-Man.

The Boys season 4 takes one cameo from Sony's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and makes it infinitely darker thanks to some chocolate cake, a safe word, and holes where holes shouldn't be. The Boys has parodied many Marvel and DC superheroes, and Spider-Man finally gets his turn in season 4, episode 6. After setting up the supe's debut with an Easter egg on the character select screen of Ryan's Vought video game, The Boys season 4 introduces Webweaver properly in "Dirty Business."

The following contains spoilers for The Boys season 4, episode 6, "Dirty Business," now streaming on Prime Video

The Boys introduces Webweaver, a parody of Spider-Man, in "Dirty Business" Webweaver's powers involve a grosser version of webs, and he has a role as an informant for Butcher. Webweaver didn't actually appear in the original comics, and is a very different character from Marvel's own Web-Weaver.

The Boys has formally introduced their version of Spider-Man in the form of the comically inept informant, Webweaver. Played by Dan Mousseau in the sixth episode of The Boys fourth season, Webweaver is a minor player in the overall episode who offers up a suprirising explanation of how Butcher has been able to procure so much intel about Vought and the Seven. A clear parody of Marvel's most famous hero, Webweaver fits perfectly into The Boys cast of twisted superheroes.

Notably, Webweaver also serves as the latest...

If your first thought after watching Monkey-Love, Please Hold is “What the actual f*ck?”, you’re not alone. Much like an unconventional sexual habit, such as masturbating on an online sex chat wearing a gorilla mask, this offbeat comedy, directed by Greg Fox is not going to be to everyone’s taste. But the 23-minute film, centred around a recently heartbroken, karaoke loving, self-proclaimed pervert who receives a life-changing, fish bearing blow up doll, treads a fine line between moderately obscene and inexplicably heartwarming and the result is distinctly memorable. And whether you’re a fan of the monkey-love (like we are at Dn) or not, the brilliantly constructed lead character (performed equally brilliantly by Dan Mousseau), fat-free editing and masterful direction on display here, are indisputable. We are overjoyed to be premiering Monkey-Love Please Hold, and to have got the chance to chat to Fox about the inspiration behind Ben’s character,...
