, mistakenly thinking that the Mean Boss Lady role was portrayed by Elizabeth Shue and not Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Then Elizabeth Shue popped back up in Season 1 of THE BOYS and it turns out that she A: has been aging beautifully and is as gorgeous as ever and B: remains a much better actress than Jennifer Jason Leigh, an actress best used in roles where she is offputting and weird such as POSSESSOR (2020) or THE HUDSUCKER PROXY (1994) where she portrays Holly Hunter, an actress who is a close friend of the Coen brothers which raises the question of why they didn't just cast Holly Hunter in the Holly Hunter role.


Yes..... yes!

I am not trying to be sexist when I say that JJL is a bad actress. She just is.

There is a story going around about how Kurt Russell broke a priceless real guitar in the Quentin Tarantino movie The Hateful Eight. She seems shocked when the wrong guitar is smashed. So she at least is a good person with empathy, probably. We're strictly talking about performance.

Maybe it's just direction. I don't know.
