Last week's Peacemaker left us with quite a cliffhanger as ARGUS showed up at Peacemaker's house while he was totally unprepared. Clearly this episode is an all-out war, right? Right? Okay, well not so much. But does the episode work or is it wheel spinning? Does this show need more Vigilante? And were my eyes playing tricks on me or did that alien have a twig and berries?Before that: Doctor Doom is seen! We discuss what we would turn into a shared universe. And is the Marvel method particularly bad or is it sort of similar to how other big tentpole movies get made? All of this and more in this week's episode! If, for some reason, you don't care about all that, simply skip to 54:39. Thanks for listening and see you next week!

PEACEMAKER: "Another Rick Up My Sleeve"
This week Peacemaker finds himself loving the alternate dimension more than ever, but what's the catch? Your stalwart hosts know there must be one, but we disagree what it might be. And could Alt Peacemaker be a member of the Sons of Liberty?Before that: we saw The Conjuring: Last Rites, we talk about having the very R-rated Peacemaker be the prologue to the likely family friendly Man of Tomorrow, and what's the deal with vibranium anyway? All of that and more in the opening, but if you don't care about this skip straight to 40:11. Thanks for listening!

PEACEMAKER: "A Man Is Only As Good As His Bird"
Just when we thought this show might be getting a bit morose, Tim Meadows shows up like a ray of comedy sunlight and brings Peacemaker season two to the kind of hilarious place we want it to be. Hallelujah! Also: Eagley really kicks ass, and we wonder if James Gunn would ever kill Peacemaker's avian sidekick (who is maybe a duck? Or a parrot?).Before that: you know how the news is these days. It's coming in slow and steady, but we also have your questions for the answering. And yeah, as an Xboxer I'm late to the game but I've started playing Helldivers II and lemme tell you, Derek could not care less. Do you also not care? Do you not care about us, our hopes, our dreams, our lives? Then skip right to 41:42 to get right at the recap/review.Next week: more peace is made! See you then.

PEACEMAKER: "The Ties That Grind"
God bless James Gunn, who decided to follow up the success of Superman with a massive orgy in the first episode of Peacemaker season 2, released just weeks later. The idea of parents sitting down with their kids to enjoy the next chapter of the DCU and getting a whole lot of sausage is simply too funny to me.Before we discuss the episode (and the DC Comics easter eggs within) we cover a little bit of news, including the latest casting on Spider-Man: Brand New Day and just what the heck the next chapter in the "Superman saga" could be. If you don't care about that, skip to 27:03.By the way, the latest episode of our podcast Watch Men sees us talking about 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Now is a great time to join us at the Patreon and listen to this one!

The First Appearance of Guy Gardner!
We loved him in Superman and we're excited to see him in Peacemaker season 2, but where does the Green Lantern Guy Gardner come from? This week we read his first appearance in Green Lantern #59 and... it's not quite what we expected. And he's not the Guy Gardner we know and love. But he does fight giant robots. Before that: there's a whole bunch of news, including a look at the Punisher's Battle Van in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Zach Cregger's spec script DC Universe movie and why Superman is on PVOD as you listen to this episode. To skip this go to 35:47.Next week: It's the first episode of Peacemaker season 2. We'll see you there!
