Also, special mention for Chang's performance, which reminded me of the Tim Burton classic Mars Attacks with regards to how she's faring with the chaos. Directed by James Gunn, "Murn After Reading" begins to bring the storyline threads of the previous episodes together in a manic yet heartfelt manner that does a nice job of setting[...]

With all of the dangling cliffhangers that we found ourselves left with by the time the credits rolled on "Murn After Reading," we found yet another reason to be impressed with James Gunn's HBO Max series Peacemaker While most shows will leave you with that much tension with a final episode to go, knowing that[...]

Based on the DC Comics character and executive produced & written by James Gunn, HBO Max's hit series follows Chris Smith aka Peacemaker (John Cena), a man who believes in achieving peace… no matter what the cost Agee steals nearly every scene he is in as ARGUS's top tech guy, John Economos (from Warner Bros'[...]

Let's leave it to our friends over at Urban Dictionary to explain what a gatekeeper is for us: "When someone is an a**hole enough to tell you that you don't have enough qualities to like what you want to like or be what you want to be, solely based on their opinions and experiences, even[...]

Meanwhile, Auggie (Robert Patrick) is still trying to clear his name with lead investigators Song (Annie Chang) and Fitzgibbon (Lochlyn Munro) after the team framed him for his son Chris' (John Cena)… "transgressions." Here is your official "minor spoilers" warning as we take a look at the most recent episode of the James Gunn series. John[...]

Based on the DC Comics character and executive produced and written by James Gunn, the action-comedy series follows Peacemaker (John Cena), who's dedicated to achieving peace no matter what the cost (or body count) Agee steals every scene he is in as ARGUS's top tech guy John Economos, who you may remember from Warner Bros'[...]

See what happens when WarnerMedia & DC Comics put their fate in the hands of people like HBO Max's Peacemaker creator James Gunn and Harley Quinn animated series co-creators Patrick Schumacker & Justin Halpern? And then you throw in the whole "multiverse" concept? Well, fun times indeed! Like how Gunn has rolled characters like Matter-Eater[...]

With the fifth episode of HBO Max and James Gunn's John Cena-starring Peacemaker currently streaming, talk is starting to turn to what's ahead for Gunn when it comes to the DCU One thing Gunn had teased and spoke briefly about in early 2021 (check out here and here) was his active interest in returning to[...]

Although he is seen as a helpful ally, some of the other heroes think that he is too extreme to be helping them out. His appearance as played by John Cena in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad movie, span off into the current HBO TV series, Peacemaker, fighting butterflies – or Space Invaders Probably. Sometimes you[...]

It's kind of a credit to James Gunn for fleshing out the character in ways that benefit Chris and the series without having to sacrifice anything that came before it.

If there's one thing that James Gunn knows how to do is to stand out in everything he's involved with from the top down whether it's the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise to the latest hit on HBO Max in DC's Peacemaker Suffice it to say, you'd be hard-pressed to find any other R-rated action-comedy[...]

And credit to series writer/director James Gunn for taking the cliche of the "bickering couple" and adding some very modern twists to their issues Speaking of insecurities, we get another layer of Peacemaker from his internal monologue and subsequent interaction with Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) As is uncomfortably clear in this episode, Vigilante seems to share[...]

While we try to avoid making broad, sweeping proclamations about shows and seasons before they've ended their respective runs, we can say without hesitation that if the first three episodes of James Gunn and HBO Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker are any indication of how the entire series is going to be? Well, we might just have[...]

From the twisted mind of James Gunn (based on the Joe Gill and Pat Boyette comic), who directed 2021's The Suicide Squad, the TV spinoff focuses on one of the said hero's originally thought dead unless you stuck around for the film's end credits While Task Force X ultimately saved the world from Starro, Peacemaker/Christopher[...]

Just as we saw with The Suicide Squad, James Gunn and HBO Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker does an excellent job of taking the fantastic that is the DC Universe and… well… how can we best put this? Gunn does an amazing job of bringing a sense of humor, heart & humanity to a world of[...]
