by

Amazon’s hit series “The Boys” has brought on board renowned director Adam Bourke (portrayed by P.J. Byrne) to debut a fresh MasterClass-like course called “Superclass,” as part of the show’s Emmy Award for Your Consideration campaign during Season 5. The teaser, which stars the disreputable film director-turned acting professor Bourke from Godolkin University (as seen in “Gen V”), is billed as a “Superhero’s Guide to Acting During Awards Season” designed to assist superheroes in winning Emmy statues on awards night. Check it out below.

In his opening of Superclass, Bourke underscores that choosing one’s role is crucial over simply enacting it. He then offers guidance to superheroes regarding the genres they should seek and those to steer clear of. The director of “Dawns of the Seven” recommends period dramas as they provide ample opportunities for “seduction in skirts.” He also shares tips on delivering a convincing performance during romantic scenes.

Subsequently, he shifts the topic to “high-end dramas,” expressing his disdain for dragons being overly dramatic, but finding the concept of “seducing your sister on a dragon” incredibly appealing. For those aiming to be featured in elite cooking shows, Bourke recommends that if you’re preparing pea shoots and arranging rose petals with tweezers, you should start rehearsing your articulate opinions on immigration, as we are eager to listen to your thoughtful insights.

He switches gears towards “premium dramas,” stating that dragons can be excessively theatrical, but the notion of “making love to your sister while riding a dragon” is a gold mine. For individuals aspiring for roles in top-tier culinary TV productions, Bourke advises to practice your speech on immigration, as you’ll need to share your eloquent thoughts if you’re handling pea shoots and placing rose petals with tweezers, since we are keen to hear your well-reasoned opinions.

Later on, Bourke discusses zombie television shows: “If you’re offered one, I would politely decline unless there’s an unexpected emotional gay episode somewhere in the series. This seems to be considered ‘gay-friendly’ if it accounts for about 12.5%. To me and many others, this level of representation is also acceptable.”

In conclusion, he stresses a cardinal rule during the Forum Yours Consideration (FYC) period within his Superclass: steer clear of superhero shows. “While you may believe that introducing unconventional characters, delivering captivating performances, or offering profound commentary could sway opinions, it ultimately holds no weight.

According to Prime Video, “Bourke is the satirical representation of Hollywood’s most infamous directors, who were once highly influential at Vought but are now relegated to teaching acting due to misconduct allegations. He serves as both a joke and a sharp critique on the dangers of unchecked ego and the misuse of power.

Here’s the “SuperClass: ‘Acting for Awards Season’ with Adam Bourke” video:

In the coming days, fans of the Prime Video/Sony Pictures TV series can look forward to an interactive event, titled “Vought on Ice”, hosted by Amazon MGM Studios. This exciting two-day event will take place at the Westfield Century City Mall on June 7th and 8th.

As a movie critic, I must say that fans of the series will undoubtedly recognize the notorious holiday-themed ice spectacle. This year, they have an opportunity to witness a thrilling three-minute rendition, where skaters lip-sync to “Bring Back the Spirit of Christmas.” In essence, Vought’s flamboyant holiday propaganda has been transformed into a tangible reality for all to enjoy.
