The fifth and final\u00a0season of Amazon’s The Boys premiered April 8 with an episode titled “Fifteen Inches of Sheer Dynamite.” For the uninitiated, The Boys is developed by Eric Kripke and based off a comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and it’s\u00a0about corrupt superheroes and the vigilantes attempting to bring them down.<\/p>\n
In the episode that premiered April 8, the corrupt and speedy superhero A-Train, birth name Reggie Franklin, (Jessie T. Usher) appears to meet with his brother Nathan. “F–k are you doing, a—–e?” Nathan asks A-Train. “Thought I asked you to swing through Austin and pick us up some Franklin’s.” TikTok user @abrowngirldiary recorded and posted the clip<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nathan was in fact referring to Franklin Barbecue, the Austin smokehouse that has been instrumental in increasing the fame of Texas barbecue. A-Train’s inability to score brisket didn’t impact Nathan too much, as he noted he had some ribeye steaks in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
