On the heels of James Gunn & DC Studios releasing Superman on VOD, Greg & John are BACK & joined by Roxy Striar to give their Peacemaker Season 2 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!

Get ready as the ever-unhinged Peacemaker returns in an explosive Season 2 opener—“The Ties That Grind”—premiering August 21, 2025, on HBO Max. Written by James Gunn, this episode throws our trigger-happy antihero, Chris Smith / Peacemaker (John Cena, WWE Legend, The Suicide Squad), into a multiverse-spanning conundrum where reality lines blur & loyalties shift.

Joining Cena’s flawed heroism are returning 11th Street Kids: Danielle Brooks (Orange Is the New Black) as Leota Adebayo, Freddie Stroma (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) as the psychotic Vigilante, Jennifer Holland (Harley Quinn) as Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) as Economos, and Robert Patrick (Terminator 2) as Peacemaker’s morally deranged father, Auggie “White Dragon” Smith.

New faces shake things up too: Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy, Creature Commandos) clocks in as Rick Flag Sr.—gunning for Peacemaker over his son's death—while Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live) brings a uniquely quirky & hilarious presence as ARGUS agent Fleury.

Key scene highlights include Peacemaker’s unsettling taste of the multiverse—featuring a hyper-idealized alternate reality—and the hysterical cameo drops from forthcoming DCU heroes like Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and Maxwell Lord, tying into the new "Gods and Monsters" DCU theme
