Heading into the season premiere of HBO Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker, Gunn and others have teased that the final three episodes of Season 2 are pretty big It's so much so that television reviewers weren't sent those closing chapters ahead of time, and why (reportedly) not a lot of folks around DC Studios know what's[...]

What Gunn addressed with co-hosts Steve Agee and Jennifer Holland, and guest Freddie Stroma, during the official Peacemaker podcast episode examining S02E02: "A Man Is Only As Good As His Bird," was how he hears from fans about not wanting certain characters killed off, and how anyone is fair game for the Grim Reaper if[...]

As much as we're looking forward to what writer/director James Gunn and HBO Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker has in store for us this week with S02E02: "A Man Is Only As Good As His Bird," we can't stop thinking about Episodes 6-8 Why?

By the time the credits rolled on the Season 2 premiere of writer/director James Gunn and HBO Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker, it was pretty clear that Life didn't quite turn out the way that the 11th Street Kids had hoped it would That brings us to this Thursday's episode, S02E02: "A Man Is Only As[...]

To say James Gunn created more than mere ripples in his Peacemaker season two premiere, "The Ties That Grind," would be an understatement. From the drug-induced orgy scene, the return of two presumably dead characters in Chris Smith's (John Cena) father Auggie (Robert Patrick), and brother Keith (David Denman), albeit in an alternate reality, the recap retcon of season[...]

The 'evil Max' is in some good stories by some good writers & artists, but I always loved the character in JLI for being multidimensional – same way I loved Waller in Ostrander's 'Squad.' Two characters able to step out of the all-good or all-evil paradigm that was de rigueur in those days (and, still[...]

For a month now, James Gunn has been reassuring fans that he had found a way to make the season one finale of HBO Max and DC Studios' John Cena-starring Peacemaker work with the second season Why was that an issue?

It all began back during the first season of writer/director James Gunn's John Cena-starring Peacemaker. Steve Agee's John Economos was just trying to do his part by playing "Florence Nightingale" for an injured Peacemaker (Cena) But after one too many "dye-beards" jokes, Economos has had enough and goes off on Chris, letting him know everyone else[...]
