Frank and Jen break down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 4, from the wild Michael Rooker cameo to that portable-dimension device that might not be what it seems. They dig into the alternate Earth, what it reveals about Chris, Keith, and Auggie, and why Adebayo might be the real center of the 11th Street Kids. The conversation hits possible DCU ties like Creature Commandos, Mr. Terrific, Blue Beetle, and whether the “boom tube” theory holds water. Plus, a thoughtful look at Harcourt's arc, Argus pressure, and how the show balances crude humor with real character growth. CA Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and coffee-fueled kickoff 00:24 First impressions of Episode 4 and the “family affair” watch 04:27 The portable dimension and how Auggie really got his tech 05:21 Series shift: Argus pressure, new location, and a relentless hunter 05:55 Michael Rooker goes all-in as an eagle tracker 08:14 “X-rated corner of the DCU” and the opening flashback read 09:49 Keith's role as heart vs. Auggie's shadow 13:16 Is the portal a boom tube or something new 16:29 Creature Commandos, Corto Maltese nods, and DCU connective tissue 19:38 Cameo watch: Mr. Terrific, Frankenstein, the Bride, or Weasel 24:26 Waller's name-drops and why she might show up 26:27 The coded “perfect world” that's not perfect at all 29:18 Adebayo as the team's glue and Chris's reality check 34:20 Harcourt and Rick Flag Sr. show a different side of both 35:58 Age, casting, and why Flag Sr. reads more “father-in-law” than “dad” 39:20 Why peacemaker is the easy scapegoat for a grieving Flag Sr. 40:07 Where this could go: reluctant father figure and hard choices 41:11 Enchantress, Rick romance, and what that means for Harcourt and Chris 42:15 Final cameo predictions and the Blue Beetle/Ted Kord angle 44:44 What if Dave Bautista played Peacemaker 47:44 James Gunn, Michael Rooker, and that dance 48:43 Guest plugs: Distance Nerding shows and Lego giveaway Key Takeaways Episode 4 plants a big flag for the back half of the season by moving the fight to a controllable space and tightening the Argus noose. The portal tech reframes Auggie's “genius” and hints at a broader toolkit that could connect to other DC corners. The alternate Earth isn't aspirational. It puts Chris's growth in focus and undercuts his nostalgia for a world he's better off without. Adebayo is the emotional center and likely leader in practice. She's the person everyone calls, and the one who grounds Chris. Harcourt's conversation with Rick Flag Sr. shows who she was before the walls went up, and why Argus keeps pulling her back. Expect a meaningful cameo tied to portals or Argus operations. Mr. Terrific, Waller, or a Creature Commandos face are all in play. The show keeps mixing crude laughs with character work that lands, which is why the heavier scenes hit. Quotes “Peacemaker is the X-rated corner of the DCU.” — Jen “This episode felt like a gear shift. Argus is coming, and the portal changes the board.” — Frank “Adebayo is the glue. She keeps everyone honest and points them back to reality.” — Frank “They didn't show that flashback for nothing. One choice can change a universe.” — Jen “Rooker only does that scene because Gunn is the one on the other end of the phone.” — Frank Call to Action If you dug this breakdown, subscribe and drop a quick review.

Also note, there's an alternate dimension Hanoi Roxx teased at the end.-“Guestlist” by Hardcore SuperstarAfter a fight with Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), Chris heads back to his place for a night of hard drugs and bisexual orgies, while this song kicks in.-“Dreamer” by Foxy ShazamCompletely wasted from the party, Peacemaker stumbles through the QUC and heads to DC2, wandering in wonder around the house he shares with his “dad” and “brother,” while yet another Foxy Shazam song plays.-“Blue Jeans” by SilvertideHarcourt also isn't doing great, so she heads to the biker barGabriel's Horn. As she walks in, this is playing, presumably on the jukebox. The song continues to play as she beats the crap out of pretty much everyone in the bar.-“Outrage” by Sister SinRight after being discovered by the DC2 version of Peacemaker, our Chris accidentally kills him in the QUC… And as we cut to the end credits, this song plays. Episode 2:-Evil Thoughts” by Foxy ShazamThis song begins playing as Peacemaker and Vigilante (Freddie Stroma) take out tools to dismember the DC2 version of Peacemaker that our Peacemaker accidentally killed last episode. It continues throughout the montage as they chop him up and dispose of the body parts by using the kyphotic alien's incinerator.-“Reapercussion” by The Cruel IntentionsWhile Fleury (Tim Meadows) is told to hold and watch Chris by Sacha Bordeaux (Sol Rodríguez), ARGUS assembles a team of operatives anyway to take Peacemaker down. We meet this ragtag squad to the song noted above.-“Dirty Money” by Ida MariaAfter absolutely obliterating Fleury's team, Eagly does a slo-mo victory walk to this song. That transitions into another montage, this time the “11th Street Kids,” aka the remaining team from Season 1, partying on Harcourt's rooftop. The song continues to play as we watch the team bond and chat at the party.-“This Time It's Love” by D'MollsBack at the party, Peacemaker and Harcourt have a heart-to-heart while this song plays.-“We Don't Need A Cure” by Hardcore SuperstarPeacemaker, drunk and sad, heads back to the DC2 after trying to text that Earth's version of Harcourt from the Peacemaker's phone (the one our Peacemaker incinerated). Once he gets to DC2 the text goes through, and he starts texting with the alt-Harcourt, while this song plays, leading us into the closing credits.

Most attention on the global gasoline landscape has traditionally been focused on Europe, the US and Singapore, but the Mideast Gulf has been making huge strides in recent years. 2024 saw refining capacity in the Mideast Gulf and Indian Ocean region increase to over 10.5mn b/d from 7.8mn b/d in 2017. And in the same time period, gasoline production grew from 1.7mn b/d to nearly 2.4mn b/d and exports from 270,000 b/d to 654,000 b/d. Listen to this podcast as our experts provide an update on developments and how Argus has created the first assessment to properly reflect the transformation: • Summary of the major trading regions and the pricing benchmarks in each • Delve into the evolving dynamics and fundamentals of the Mideast Gulf • Why the Mideast Gulf region needs an independent price assessment  • Introduction to Argus fob Mideast Gulf Gasoline (MEBOB) • And much more

Frank sits down with James from Distance Nerding to unpack Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 2. They get into the portal arc and what it means for Chris as a character, why Eagly quietly steals the episode, and how James Gunn uses running gags like bird blindness to build heart under the humor. The conversation hits Economos wrestling with anxiety and loyalty, Harcourt's guard-up spiral, Maxwell Lord setup notes, and a few big swing predictions for where the last three episodes could go. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome and intro to James from Distance Nerding 00:41 First reactions and the tone of a bridge episode 01:20 Tim Meadows as Flurry and the bird blindness gag that keeps paying off 02:55 Eagly reminder and the home defense sequence 03:34 Who hunts Eagly and why that matters for stakes 03:54 The portal arc and the pull of a “better life” versus the 11th Street Boys 05:36 Frank's theory that the other world celebrates the wrong heroes 07:16 Economos anxiety, Argus pressure, and found family 08:20 Wanting solitude yet craving connection 09:25 The quiet role Economos plays as a buffer between Argus and Peacemaker 10:49 Harcourt's arc and the “is it nepotism if they are perfect for the part” debate 12:10 Maxwell Lord read and why this version fits the DCU tone 13:08 Little prop clues and what they say about each universe 14:59 Pacing notes and how small scenes plant story markers 16:50 Expecting a tonal pivot in the final three and how it could bridge into the DCU 18:14 Why mature side stories like this hit different than the big icons 19:13 The portal as a what if and a metaphor for avoiding the real work 21:02 A simple I love you that hints at hope in a darker world 22:05 Will Chris ever find peace or accept where he is 24:13 Amelia in the other world and why a perfect version may not be what he wants 25:01 Kintsugi idea and why the cracks are what make Chris care 25:57 Screener cutoff at five episodes and cameo speculation 27:06 Adebayo and Kia under strain and what career first says about her path 27:46 Will Economos choose Argus before choosing his people 28:47 Twilight Zone vibes and a pocket world that looks bright but is not 29:07 Hot take prediction that a certain Rick Flag could show up in a key way 30:12 Senior's revenge focus and Chris facing what he did 31:13 Guilt in the Maxwell Lord interview and the line that haunts him 32:31 Final thoughts plus a quick Alien Earth shout 32:53 Distance Nerding con schedule and Geek Freaks collabs 35:01 Sign off Key Takeaways Peacemaker is sitting in the tension between a tempting escape and the messy work of growth. Running jokes like bird blindness are doing character work, not just easy laughs. Eagly is more than a mascot. Giving him an active threat raises the emotional stakes at home. Economos is the quiet hinge of the team. His anxiety and Argus ties set up a hard choice. Harcourt is pushing people away to avoid being seen. That makes her mirror Chris more than ever. The other universe may celebrate ugly values under a hero banner. That could snap Chris back to who he is now, not who he was. Expect a big tone shift in the last three episodes with room for a surprise cameo that ties personal guilt to resolution. Memorable Quotes “Those callback jokes you think are throwaways keep coming back. It is gold.” “Eagly steals the show. We kind of forgot he is a badass.” “He can see the life he wants through the portal, but he has not dealt with his stuff.” “You cannot hide the body. Your problems keep rolling back out.” “I think the other world might be cheering for the wrong kind of hero.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Today, we discuss three critical minerals to illustrate, and challenge or reinforce the common narratives out there, the intractable problems those supply chains face - even with projected soaring future demand. And consequently, the influence these elements have on geopolitics and economics. Influence that is only growing. We're taking Yttrium, ,Rhenium and Graphite and each one tells a different story about our modern economy about the critical mineral supply chain and pricing and some of that challenges that poses to governments, companies and us as individuals. To tell those stories we are rejoined by Ellie Saklatvala, Head of Metals Pricing at the Independent Price Reporting Agency, Argus. 

11.Who Cares, It's Almost Midnight! - Episode 28 Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 28! – 1:45          There is so much to discuss as we are on the cusp of the eleventh expansion of World of Warcraft.  Naturally, I suggestions for Blizzard for improving the game as the main topic   “What have you done lately?” – 6:09 Holy crap, there is so much I have done.  Buckle up.  It all seems to revolve around stories this episode.  Some piled up unlearned recipes leads three of my characters onto huge tangents in Northrend, I discover a flight school in Hallowfall with a weak, indecisive headmaster, and I reach an account-wide leveling milestone (only to learn later this episode that I am actually still 2 levels shy)   11.2 Reactions – 55:21             The final major content patch for The War Within is live; Tazavesh is a cool city; comparing K'aresh to Argus, the (one) new Delve is solid; Bliz nailed it with optional depth of storytelling in the campaign questing.   Drink of the Month – 1:27:18 Sneaking some Badlands Bourbon north into Farstrider Retreat.   News – 1:32:08             Legion Remix announced in a post and video here: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/24224370 My thoughts on it 2 is in full swing, including RTWF LFR Wing 2 and “Story” Mode raids launch today, August 19 LFR Wing 3 comes August 26 One more thing in the news…?   Main Topic:  Midnight Expansion Announcement – 1:45:02 Tuesday, August 19 (the day I FINALLY get this episode out), Blizzard will officially announce and introduce to us the Midnight expansion at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.  2:00 PM at SQ HQ, 11:00 AM on the West Coast at Blizzard HQ, and I believe 3:00 on August 20 for my friend the Snek of Vol'dun!   My Midnight Wish List – 1:49:47        My list of 10 requests, the 10 great ideas I have for improving WoW for everyone, but certainly solo players.  Free of charge, Bliz, free of charge.   SQ Mailbag – 2:08:11 One negative rating has me upset, but maybe not in the way you would expect.  But that is balanced by a new Patreon supporter who also likes my Solo Crew Refuge proposal for a player housing neighborhood.  And, if you have the time and interest in entering your own ratings or reviews of the show in your podcast app, that would make me feel good and further balance out that negative.   Outro – 2:38:30 Thanks to Blizzard for the amazing music and sound, to OGRE for intro/outro music, my lovely and supportive wife, and you for listening. Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/soloqueuewow Thank you to patrons, Andrew, Righteous Bandy, ThatSkyGuy, Cyn, Snek of Vol'dun, Jon, Scott and newest patron Jeru!  And thanks to all the free supporters as well!
