In a bonus edition on this week's Crossing Streams feed, Craig Elsten is joined by Danny Deskjob to review season two of Peacemaker, on HBO Max. The guys start with a 15-minute non-spoiler zone, to generally discuss the show. Then they get into all the spoilers from season two, including some controversial decisions made in the season finale, and the announcement from James Gunn on Friday that Peacemaker would likely not come back for a third season, but instead have its characters folded into other DCU properties. SHOW NOTES:30 Intro/housekeepingNON-SPOILER ZONE4:15 thoughts on Peacemaker the series as a whole9:00 Peacemaker succeeds as an R-rated comedy11:00 the best intro on TV 13:00 going through the cast of Peacemaker17:45 a multiverse story that actually worksSPOILER ZONE19:30 Was this a seven-episode season and a one-episode DCU set-up for the future?24:30 going through the major plot points of season two27:30 the use of Earth-X as Peacemaker's alternate universe32:30 the best parts of the finale36:30 critiques of the finale 38:30 incepting Foxy Shazam into all of our lives44:00 using the *series* finale of Peacemaker as a set-up for future DCU properties53:00 What's Danny Watching

Frank and Thomas unpack the Peacemaker Season 2 finale, from John Cena's performance to the big-picture DCU setup. They dig into Salvation Run and Checkmate, how the metahumans vs. government angle points toward Superman, and why this episode feels more like a bridge to Season 3. Along the way, they talk Vigilante's MVP moments, Harcourt's arc, Lex Luthor's influence on Rick Flag, and whether multiverse storytelling still works. Timestamps & Topics 00:00 — Welcome back and life update from Thomas; setting the table for the finale chat 00:55 — James Gunn's podcast, fathers and sons, and why that matters to Chris and Adebayo 02:21 — First impressions: great performances, odd placement for a “finale” episode 04:34 — Will there be a Season 3 and where this could continue in the DCU slate 05:16 — The Superman tie-in: metahumans vs. government, framing the next phase 06:06 — Salvation Run explained, Checkmate connections, and deep-cut DC lore 08:31 — Quantum doors and the “QC” device; quick tour of the multiverse worlds 10:13 — Why the multiverse still works here and how Gunn is trusting the audience 11:12 — That black-hole world and callbacks to the new DCU's prison ideas 12:01 — Rick Flag's heel turn and the debate over Lex's manipulation 14:10 — Government vs. metahumans as a DCU driver; room for Batman later 16:02 — Waller, Task Force X, and where Checkmate fits in public vs. shadow ops 18:00 — Vigilante praise, Fleury chemistry, and why the side cast still matters 20:06 — Chris and Adebayo's “you made me feel loved” scene; mixed reactions 21:30 — Harcourt's arc, the boat, and the kiss that did not shock the internet 24:02 — Expectation traps, Earth X sleuthing, and fan predictions vs. payoff 28:06 — Is Nicholas Hoult scary enough as Lex yet 31:04 — Judo Master, Langston Fleury, and Checkmate as a home for “good but messy” heroes 32:18 — Final thoughts: Season 1 vs. Season 2, and what is next for DC on TV Key Takeaways The finale plays like a handoff, setting up Superman and a broader DCU conflict rather than closing Season 2 cleanly. Salvation Run and Checkmate point to deeper DC lore and a clear government vs. metahuman story. John Cena carries the heart and humor; Vigilante continues to be a stealth MVP. Lex's off-screen sway over Rick Flag divides opinion but supports a long game for the character. The multiverse beats land because they are visual, simple, and high-stakes without heavy exposition. Quotes “John Cena is so lovable. I want to hug him and watch him wreck shop.” “Episode 7 felt like the true finale. This one felt like a plus-one.” “Salvation is basically a planet of villains trying to rule each other.” “Government vs. metahumans sets the stage for Superman and maybe even Batman.” “Vigilante's joy is so raw and kid-like that it weirdly grounds the show.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show and leave a quick rating and review.

Today Ernie and Robo talk about Peacemaker Season 2 Earth X reveal, and how it highlights the problem with white privilege.

This episode is late! That's because, as you will hear in the recording, my internet was just going down and up the whole evening when we started recording. The episode is slightly jankier than usual, but I think it's tolerable. On Peacemaker we find out about Earth X's Auggie, a bunch of cops die, the two Vigilantes delight, Judomaster steals every scene he's in and things on the Nazi Earth come to a real head. We also discuss whether or not James Gunn blew it with this season's pacing and an obsession with doing reveals instead of storytelling. Before that: Dappion unmasked! Why was Spawn so popular? Would we ever go back and cover the 2019 Watchmen HBO show? And what are the secret projects James Gunn says are in the works for the DCU? If you don't care about all that skip to 51:16.Next week: the season, and probably series, finale. Thanks for listening!

The multiverse just got darker — and deadlier. In Episode 7, “Like a Keith in the Night,” Peacemaker spirals toward the finale as Chris Smith finally faces the fallout from killing his doppelgänger. Earth-X unravels, family secrets explode, and Adebayo finds herself in life-threatening danger.Brandon & Chanel unpack it all:Chris confesses to Auggie & Keith, triggering devastating consequencesJudomaster becomes the most unexpected hero, rescuing Adebayo and dropping relationship adviceHarcourt & Chris reunite, only to be hunted down againThe truth about Earth-X hits hard: Nazis won, “others” are enslaved, and this Auggie might be... a better man?Keith's brutal attack pushes Chris to the edge, and Harcourt is forced to do the unthinkableARGUS closes in as Rick Flag Sr. seizes the portal — and Chris is arrested, broken, and full of guiltWith huge DCU cameos, emotional meltdowns, alternate-universe twists, and Earth-X escalating into a fascist nightmare, this episode sets up a high-stakes finale that could change everything for the 11th Street Kids.

News Highlights: Superman smashes records on HBO Max with over 13 million views in just 10 days — the platform's biggest movie launch since Barbie.

Rowling reignites her feud with Emma Watson, calling the actress “ignorant” while claiming Watson once sent her a supportive note about the backlash.

In our last solo review before the finale, Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 7, “Like a Thief in the Night.” We cover how the Earth X arc reframes the team's choices, why Adebayo finally steps from reactive to proactive, the surprising nuance to Augie in a fascist world, and how Vigilante's sacrifice resets the board for the finale. We also talk about the episode's strongest character beats, where the mechanics show, and why John Cena's work this season stands out as his best to date. untitled Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro, episode plan, and what's coming for the finale 00:44 Dropped into Earth X and the Argus escape 01:09 Adebayo and Judo Master connect, seeing the world for what it is 03:06 Team regroups with two Vigilantes, plans the house infiltration 04:16 A different Augie in a different world, and what that says about DCU Augie 06:15 Chris vs. the past he can't outrun 07:14 Keith's near-death, Chris's breaking point, and a choice with consequences 08:27 The portal sequence, who stays behind, and what it sets up 09:10 John Cena's leap from Season 1 to now 09:52 What worked: real consequences, character-first storytelling, grounded stakes 15:44 Where it stumbles: mechanical connectors and limited Earth X texture 17:26 Performance shoutouts: Holland, Brooks, and scene craft 18:42 Why this is a perfect penultimate chapter and what we want from the finale Key Takeaways Earth X is a mirror, not a gimmick. The episode uses the setting to highlight privilege, hate, and willful blindness, pushing Chris to confront what he doesn't see until it's too late. Adebayo steps up. She's the glue when she's active, not reactive. This is her most decisive episode of the season, rallying the team and reframing her personal accountability. Augie's complexity lands. In a world that validates him, Augie isn't “better,” but he's different. That contrast sheds light on how alienation hardened DCU Augie. Consequences feel real. Death is on the table, choices cost something, and quiet character beats carry more weight than the explosions around them. Cena levels up. The grief and surrender scenes rank among the season's best acting, selling Chris as a broken man trying to do one right thing. Minor stumbles. A few transitions feel mechanical and Earth X's texture could use more on-screen shading to heighten anxiety and stakes. Quotes “This episode is character first, even when the world is exploding around them.” “Adebayo works best when she's leading, not reacting.” “Augie isn't redeemed here, he's contextualized. The world that embraced him made a different monster.” “Cena's performance turns Chris into a man who can finally look his guilt in the eye.” Call to Action If you're enjoying these breakdowns, follow and subscribe, drop us a rating and review, and share the episode with a friend using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

Meanwhile, Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo) - after last week's surprise Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) appearance - brings in yet another Superman Cameo in Sydney Happersen (Stephen Blackehart) as they attempt to track down the interdimensional portal...John Cena returns as Chris Smith / Peacemaker, still torn between the fantasy world where his family is alive and the reality he must fight to return to. Danielle Brooks delivers another intense performance as Leota Adebayo, whose identity and safety are under threat as the Earth-X dimension reveals its darker nature - leading to an unlikely alliance as Judomaster (Nhut Le) comes to her rescue just in time. Jennifer Holland's Emilia Harcourt, Steve Agee's John Economos, and Freddie Stroma's Adrian Chase / Vigilante all continue to navigate shifting alliances, moral compromise, and survival. The episode features haunting visuals, emotional confrontations, and the building momentum toward the finale. The teaser images suggest one of the team could be taken prisoner, while the DCU connection via Lex's cameo adds weight to the larger universe stakes.

For his performance as Angel David Guzman in Stand and Deliver (1988), he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture and won an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male.Phillips made his Broadway debut with the 1996 revival of The King and I, earning a Tony Award nomination for his portrayal of King Mongkut of Siam.

One theory that falls squarely in the center of this broad range is that Sink has been cast as the MCU's Jean Grey.Moon Knight Deserves to Return to the MCUAs a street-level vigilante with a penchant for fighting organized crime, Moon Knight would fit remarkably well in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.Luke Cage Could Continue the MCU's Latest Street-Level TrendAndrew Garfield's Spider-Man Is Rumored to Return in Brand New DayDaredevil Is the Only Hero Fans Need to See in Spider-Man: Brand New DayWith Jon Bernthal's Punisher already confirmed to play a major role in the film, it seems more than likely that Daredevil will also show up, uniting three of Marvel's most iconic street-level heroes for the first time on the big screen.Peace makerFortnite has pulled the Peacemaker "Peaceful Hips" emote following the latest episode of the hit DCU series, entitled "Ignorance Is Chris," which confirmed Season 2's biggest fan theory. Specifically, the alternate dimension showcased throughout Season 2 of Peacemaker is in fact the Nazi-ruled timeline of Earth-X. Subsequently, the "Peaceful Hips" emoji, which is based on a dance sequence from Season 2's opening dance number, has come under intense scrutiny, leading some to speculate that it is in fact a reference to an anti-Nazi Donald Duck short and/or the Nazi swastika.In a statement released via Twitter on Sept. 28, the official Fortnite Status account noted, "We're disabling the Peaceful Hips Emote in Fortnite as we inquire into our partner's creative intentions in this collab emote. Assuming it's not coming back, we'll issue refunds in the next few days. Sorry folks."

The alternate universe isn't paradise — it's a powder keg. In “Ignorance Is Chris,” the 11th Street Kids finally break into Chris's dream world… only to discover it's a full-on fascist nightmare.

Welcome to Earth-X.Brandon & Chanel break down all the game-changing twists:Harcourt & Chris' emotional confrontation — the truth finally comes outAdrian gets his moment, meets his alternate self… and it's complicatedLex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) officially joins the DCUAdebayo and Economos uncover the truth about this dark dimensionThe Earth-X theory is confirmed — and it's worse than we thoughtThis is one of Peacemaker's wildest, smartest episodes yet — filled with heart, humor, DC deep cuts, and major universe-shifting revelations. James Gunn is not pulling punches, and Brandon & Chanel are here for every layered, emotional, and hilarious beat.

In this episode of Bandwagon Nerds, Patrick and Dave discuss the latest episode of Peacemaker. As suspected, Peacemaker's optimal Universe was anything but that, as we saw the introduction of Earth X into a multiverse that has already been one crazy surprise after another. How does this set the stage for what should be a wild final two Episodes of this second season? The guys also delve into the entertainment industry's response to current political events, the impact of Disney's decision to reinstate Jimmy Kimmel, and whether Apple made the right call by delaying The Savant. A quick visit to the trailer park reveals the latest offerings, including It: Welcome to Derry, Star Wars: Visions Vol. 3, and the guys discuss the teaser trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu. Dave was less than enthralled with the first look at one of the most anticipated Star Wars films of recent years. Is he justified or just expecting too much too soon? The conversation shifts to wrestling and film crossovers, including the casting of Drew McIntyre in the Highlander reboot and the anticipated biopic about Randy Savage. All that plus what the guys are watching, as Dave waxes eloquent about the conclusion of season one of Alien: Earth. Powered by RedCircle@AttitudeAgg@WrestlngRealist@itsReyCash@PCTunney@itsmedpp@ViolentAesop@TheMindlessPod@therealcplatt@ChairshotMedia@BandwagonNerdsPROWRESTLINGTEES.COM/TheChairshot - Makes a GREAT GIFT!!!About Bandwagon NerdsJoin Patrick O'Dowd, David Ungar, PC Tunney, Rey Cash, and DPP as they keep everyone up on all things nerd and maybe add some new nerds along the way.

Frank breaks down Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 6, “Ignorance Is Chris,” and why the “better world” finally shows its cracks. From the diner photo that warps, to Harcourt and Chris opening up in an interrogation room, to Vigilante meeting his Earth X counterpart, this episode clicks into place. We also hit Rick Flag Sr.'s prison visit with Lex Luthor, the Sons of Liberty twist, and the hallway tells that confirm where we are. It is a tense, funny, uneasy chapter that sets up a high-stakes sprint to the finale. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and episode plan 00:23 Housekeeping, L.A. Comic Con updates, why last week skipped 00:44 Frank's knee update and getting back on mic 01:01 The big swing lands: “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags” 01:19 Diner scene breakdown and the melting-faces photo 02:01 The inevitability of the reveal and why the vibe felt off 02:28 At Adrian's place: mom cameo, “secret room,” evidence stash 03:33 The Beanie Baby closet and recreating the portal 04:06 Back in the portal room: the neighbor-alien and why it matters 04:44 Sneaking the Smith mansion and the rising tension 05:20 Harcourt's snow globe stall, the car ride with Keith 06:10 Music clues in this world, no rap, the whitewashed timeline 06:33 Eagly raid in the kitchen, the mess to clean up 06:55 Vigilante meets Vigilante, animal “facts,” and the glasses tell 08:12 Sons of Liberty inversion and why Alt Adrian hates Peacemaker 09:39 Rick Flag Sr. visits Lex Luthor at Belle Reve 10:38 The deal for portal tech and the DCU bridge it hints at 11:19 Harcourt and Chris finally say the quiet part out loud 12:40 Adebayo's walk, “one got out,” and the street chase 13:59 Auggie ambushes Economos at the mansion 14:47 Alt Harcourt flips the switch at A.R.G.U.S. 15:08 The flag with a swastika and the words that land like a punch 15:47 Wrap up, what 6 through 8 now promise, social plugs and sign-off Key Takeaways The episode earns its dread by letting small details stack until the Earth X truth can no longer be ignored. Vigilante meeting himself is both the funniest stretch and honest character work that reframes his bravado. The Harcourt and Chris scene gives the alt-world twist emotional weight and nudges their relationship into something healthier. Rick Flag Sr. and Lex Luthor open the door to wider DCU stakes without hijacking the episode. Adebayo's street sequence and the desk flag reveal are the gut checks that make the cut to black land. Quotes “Hello, Earth X, mind the flags.” “One got out! It's a black.” “This is your perfect world.” Call to Action If you enjoyed this breakdown, follow the show, leave a rating, and share the episode with a friend who is watching along.

The discussion commences with a profound exploration of the latest developments in the realm of streaming services, with particular emphasis on the impact of Netflix on contemporary viewing habits. As we delve into Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 3, we engage in a critical analysis of the narrative intricacies and character dynamics that unfold within this episode. Notably, we examine the intriguing notion that the Sons of Liberty may not be the antagonists they initially appear to be, prompting a reevaluation of traditional hero-villain dichotomies. Additionally, we scrutinize the implications of Chris Smith's potential connection to Earth X, raising profound questions about identity and morality within the broader multiverse framework. Furthermore, our discourse encompasses a retrospective glance at some of the most egregious comic book retcons, specifically highlighting the notorious "Sins Past" in Spider-Man and the controversial "One More Day." In closing, we present a compelling argument for the merits of the Krakoan Age as the preeminent X-Men storyline, underscoring its transformative significance in the ever-evolving landscape of comic book narratives.

Peacemaker heads to the best dimension ever -- or is it? -- as we recap Season 2, Episode 3 "Another Rick Up My Sleeve" on our podcast. Having escaped to the DC2, Peacemaker discovers not only does Harcourt like him, but his greatest sin, killing Rick Flag Jr, is reversed as well. And everyone loves him, thanks to a showdown with the Sons of Liberty. Meanwhile, in the DCU, the 11th Street Kids are recovering from a night of debauchery, while the noose tightens around Peacemaker and Eagly. Plus, we discuss the big theories around the episode, particularly whether DC2 is secretly the racist dimension known as Earth X.SUBSCRIBE ON APPLE, AMAZON, SPOTIFY, RSS, OR THE APP OF YOUR CHOICE.

n Part 2, Alex opens up about the growing role of AI in art and how it raises serious concerns for creators like himself. We also take a nostalgic turn as he shares his childhood memories of 1960s Japanese animation — Speed Racer — and his thoughts on the rise of modern American adult animation.Alex reflects on the long-overdue recognition of classic comic book creators in today's Marvel and DC films, and what it meant to meet legends like Jack Kirby and Neal Adams. We revisit the origin stories behind Marvels and Kingdom Come, and reveal a near-miss — when Alex almost helped design a new Gatchaman team for an American rights holder. And for fans of Fantastic Four, Alex shares the story behind his Earth X visions of Marvel's First Family, and how it continues to influence his creative work.

“How do we get people in the tent to even hear the story? With ‘Living with Ed' and other projects, we were a family they could identify with. We were yelling, laughing, loving each other while talking about real issues. I represented the average person's perspective on issues like taking the subway. There's the funny, and there's the conflict. If it's not entertaining, it's not going to connect.” Rachelle Begley on Electric Ladies Podcast  Culture wars around climate change do more harm than good. As climate-driven extreme weather events become more frequent, proposed cuts to climate-related programs at the federal, state, or corporate level, pose a growing threat to public safety. The climate crisis is a safety issue – this isn't political. Fresh from The Earth Day Women's Summit at Earthx2025, listen to a live recording of a panel moderated by Joan Michelson about how we can find common ground in a climate crisis. Hear from women who have successfully bridged culture, politics and platforms to reframe conversations around the climate crisis. You'll hear from Inna Modja, Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, on humanizing climate migration. Rachelle Carson Begley, Actor and Environmentalist, on engaging through entertainment. Hayden Begley, Content Creator, on using social media to engage diverse audiences. Chelsea Henderson, Director of Editorial Content at RepublicEn, on bridging the political divide, and who also shares insightful career advice, and… Joan Michelson, host of Electric Ladies Podcast  “Playing into your interests and strengths is important. It's become a bit of a cliché to say, ‘Do what you love, and everything will fall into place,' because it's not that easy. I try not to say no to opportunities. Instead, I try to say yes more and engage with other women, because women are incredible at supporting one another. Leaning into that support system – hearing about the pitfalls, the challenges, what was hard, what was easy – is invaluable.” Chelsea Henderson on Electric Ladies Podcast You'll also like: Hilary Doe, Chief Growth Officer of Michigan, on how the state leverages the Inflation Reduction Act to increase climate resilience and drive growth.

Episode 52 - Murdock and Marvel: 2000 Part 2 The new millenium started with some big endings, and comic book sales kept slipping this year.  But 2000 featured some big developments that would point the way to the future of comics.  Welcome to the Oughts, everyone!  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2000.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances:  Daredevil #10-13, Earth X #10-12 and X, Fantastic Four #27, Avenger #27, Essential Fantastic Four #3, Marvel Knights #5-6, Daredevil: Ninja #1, Maximum Security #1, and Nick Fury: Agent of Shield graphic novel.    Writing: David Mack (#10 – 11 and 13), Quesada and Palmiotti (12)  Pencils: Joe Quesada (#10 – 11 and 13), Rob Haynes (12)  Inks: Jimmy Palmiotti (#10 – 11), Rob Haynes (12), Mike Morales (13)  A very light year for Daredevil as the main run only released four books this year – all part of the Parts of a Hole storyline started in December 1999. The story would continue until March 2001 when Parts of a Hole conclusion called Vision would reach stores. Visions will be our spotlight for this week.  Issue 12, Gun Play, feels like a fill-in story covering a series of vignettes about Hell's Kitchen residents (featuring some very adult themes) while Echo and Daredevil fight rooftop-to-rooftop that was written by Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, with art by Rob Haynes. Although it was well written, it does stall the pacing of the story for an issue.  Outside of the main title, many of the Daredevil appearances this year were reprints including the Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller collection that was released in October which included 10 stories from the Frank Miller era and a second printing of the Punisher kills the Marvel Universe graphic novel.   One other original story was started in December and spilled over into 2001 - Daredevil: Ninja which was a limited series written by Brian Michael Bendis and Rob Hayes that saw Daredevil dealing with the Hand and reuniting with Stone in Japan. When the scene shifts back to New York, Baby Karen (From Daredevil Vol.2 #1-8) turns out to be the next great hero of Japan.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil volume 2 #15 March 2001 “Parts of a Hole Conclusion: Vision”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway A lot of great work can get done when expectations are low and no one is watching.  Questions or comments We'd love to hear from you!  Email us at questions@comicsovertime.com or find us on Twitter @comicsoftime. ------------------ THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING CREATORS AND RESOURCES  Music: Our theme music is by the very talented Lesfm.  You can find more about them and their music at https://pixabay.com/users/lesfm-22579021/.  The Grand Comics Database: Dan uses custom queries against a downloadable copy of the GCD to construct his publisher, title and creator charts.  Comichron: Our source for comic book sales data.  Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History  DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_English-language_comics  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Comics_superhero_debuts  https://comicbookreadingorders.com/marvel/event-timeline/  https://www.comic-con.org/awards/eisner-awards/past-recipients/past-recipients-1990s/  https://www.manwithoutfear.com/daredevil-interviews/Mack

Episode 50 - Murdock and Marvel: 1999 Part 2 Last week we closed the curtain on the first volume of Daredevil, and now we are reaching the end of the millennium itself, as comics continue to barrel towards their own version of Y2K.  Sales keep dropping and more publishers leave the field, but signs of life start to show if you look in the right places.  It's 1999, and comics still are not dead.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 1999.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #3-9, Earth X #0-2 and 5-7, Mutant X #6, Avengers #15-16, Avengers Forever #8, Black Widow #1-3, Spider-Man: Chapter One #9 and 12, Fantastic Four #21 and 23, Uncanny X-Men #370, Wolverine/Punisher: Revelations #3, Deathlok #1, along with Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #1 and the Avengers 1999 and Contest of Champions graphic novels Writing: Kevin Smith (#1-8), David Mack (#9) Pencils: Joe Quesada (#1-9) Inks: Jimmy Palmiotti (#1-9) The year for Daredevil actually began in November 1998 when the first book of the Guardian Devil storyline hit comic book stores. We briefly touched on what happened during the first two books a couple weeks ago, but with this storyline taking up half the year – we'll be looking at the story in-depth as our spotlight story this week.  After the guardian Devil storyline ended in June 1999, we didn't get another book in the main Daredevil title until December. When we get the start of another multi-book storyline called Parts of a Hole with a new writer in David Mack. We won't go into much detail on this until we look at Daredevil in 2000, but it starts with The Kingpin sends a hitman after a stoolie being questioned by Nelson and Murdock.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil volume 2 #1-8 November 1998 – June 1999 “Guardian Devil”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Setting up the foundation to the future.

Send Crystal a text letting her know what you thought about the show!This new season of the Forces for Nature podcast is a special one! All interviews were done on location at the EarthX Congress of Conferences, an event dedicated to fostering sustainability and environmental action. Initially, though, I was hesitant about attending due to its surprising mix of sponsors and speakers, many of whom you would never expect to see at a conference about protecting the Earth. However, I chose to go with an open mind, ready to challenge greenwashing if I saw it and explore genuine intentions when present.  To my delight, EarthX was a melting pot of ideas and collaborations, uniting individuals from various backgrounds, including energy companies, environmental activists, and political figures, all driven by a shared passion for conservation.The experience was eye-opening and underscored the importance of including all stakeholders in our environmental discussions to create lasting solutions. This episode marks the beginning of a season filled with enlightening conversations and my personal reflections on navigating this complex but crucial path toward sustainability.
