About this episode
In this conversation, Tony Zoomed with John Koyama, the Supervising Stunt Coordinator and Second Unit Director behind some of the most explosive, outrageous, and technically demanding moments in The Boys. From the Oval Office finale to the infamous Herogasm sequence, Koyama breaks down how the team blends danger, comedy, spectacle, and character to create stunts that feel as unhinged as the world they inhabit.
This episode also traces Koyama’s long‑running collaboration with Zack Snyder, including Rebel Moon and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and his reflections on earning another Emmy nomination for The Boys after already taking home a win.
