[School of Movies 2025] Time for a surprisingly good Marvel that meant a lot to a great deal of people... and still somehow underperformed. This thing was brewing for years, from as far back as the second Disney Plus show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, back in Lockdown 2021. The original comic premise was simple enough; have a manipulative scumbag assemble a super-team of disguised villains in the absence of The Avengers. However, this team is only mildly superpowered, and are wildly unbalanced. They're all either prior living weapons or experiments gone badly wrong, most of them have been being used for shady corporate black-ops and all of them are a hot mess, emotionally speaking. Plus the scumbag decides the best thing to do is kill them all off, rather than get their own Avengers. What we end up with is a collection of disturbed individuals who have to work together as a team to deal with a very specific, exceptionally dark situation with one of their own. It is DC's first Suicide Squad movie from 2016 done far, far better. Let's peel back the surface and dive into the murk beneath. Next Week: K-Pop Demon Hunters

PEACEMAKER vs. JUDOMASTER & RED vs. EAGLEY!!!

Greg Alba, Roxy Striar, & John Humphrey jump into Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 4 — titled “Need I Say Door?” — from creator James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad). Peacemaker (John Cena — The Suicide Squad, Bumblebee) is grappling with A.R.G.U.S. monitoring, a creeping suspicion that everything around him might not be what it seems, and the rising threat to his beloved eagle, Eagly. Meanwhile, there's a new antagonist on Eagly's trail: Red St. Wild (Michael Rooker — The Walking Dead, Guardians Vol 2), an eagle-hunting villain with his own ruthless agenda. Returning members of the cast include Danielle Brooks (Orange Is the New Black, The Color Purple) as Leota Adebayo; Freddie Stroma (Bridgerton, Jumanji: The Next Level) as Adrian Chase / Vigilante; Jennifer Holland (Brightburn, Birds of Prey) as Emilia Harcourt; Steve Agee (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Super) as John Economos; Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, The X-Files) as Auggie Smith / White Dragon; and newcomers like Sol Rodríguez as Sasha Bordeaux, Tim Meadows (Mean Girls, SNL) as ARGUS Agent Langston Fleury. “Need I Say Door?” amps up the intrigue with flashbacks showing Auggie's dark hunts, the increasingly fragile peace in Chris Smith's (Peacemaker's) life, and tension over whether his “perfect” reality is trustworthy. We get intense standoffs, creeping psychological doubt, and some visuals that highlight how far the show leans into surreal and high-stakes situations. It's one of the episodes that many viewers are already talking about for how it pulls the rug out and challenges what we know.

Fury of the Gods (2023) directed by David F. Sandberg. Zachary Levi (Chuck, Tangled) returns as Billy Batson/Shazam alongside Asher Angel as his teenage counterpart. Jack Dylan Grazer (It, Luca) shines as Freddy Freeman with Adam Brody as his heroic alter-ego, while Grace Caroline Currey (Fall, Annabelle: Creation) plays both Mary Bromfield and her Shazam form. The villainous Daughters of Atlas—Hespera, Kalypso, and Anthea—are brought to life by Helen Mirren (The Queen, Fast & Furious 9), Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels), and Rachel Zegler (West Side Story, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes). Djimon Hounsou (Gladiator, Blood Diamond) reprises his role as the Wizard. We break down the most talked-about moments: Freddy and Anthea's heartfelt connection, the Skittles “Taste the Rainbow” unicorn scene, Shazam's epic final battle against Kalypso's dragon Ladon, Billy's sacrifice and resurrection, and the surprise post-credit cameos featuring Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and the Justice Society recruitment tease. Quotes like “I'm an idiot” and “All or none” remain fan favorites.

In this episode, Phillip and Eric tackle John Ostrander's classic run on DC Comics's The Suicide Squad, the writer and creator of Amanda Waller who made it the supervillain Dirty Dozen that we know today. They discuss its political undertones with President Reagan and Hawk running arms to the Contras, how the Squad's very first mission is against a group of foes called "The Jihad," and Eric shares his thoughts on Kamen Rider: Black Sun!

Peacemaker es una serie de acción y comedia negra derivada de The Suicide Squad. Sigue a Christopher Smith, alias Peacemaker (John Cena), un antihéroe egocéntrico y patriota extremo que trabaja para una agencia secreta en misiones para salvar el mundo, mientras lidia con su conflictiva relación con su padre (Robert Patrick) y su propio sentido de moralidad. La serie combina humor irreverente, violencia gráfica y momentos emotivos, destacando por su banda sonora ochentera y el carisma de Cena. Con 8 episodios en su primera temporada, es una mezcla de sátira superheroica y desarrollo pro

This week on Our Taste is Trash, our hosts, Josh and Jade, discuss Elizabeth Banks has she is set to play Karen Read in a Prime Video limited series based on the true-crime frenzy around Read's June 2025 acquittal for the death of her Boston cop boyfriend. Next up, the hosts break down the SNL cast shakeup as Devon Walker, Emil Wakim, Michael Longfellow, and veteran Heidi Gardner leave the show. Then, in Weekly Watches:Peacemaker Season 2 (HBO Max, premiered Aug 21): James Gunn's follow‑up to The Suicide Squad continues in his newly rebooted DC Universe. Critics say it's darker, heavier, more emotional than Season 1—with Cena delivering, a tragic multiverse twist, and a brutal arc pitting Peacemaker against version of himself and the man who killed his dad. Superman (2025): Gunn's official Superman reboot (starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult as Lex) skips a traditional origin story and drops us into a hopeful, charismatic world where Superman isn't a god, he's a human-hearted hero—complete with Krypto the dog and a screwball romance tone. Grossed over US $600 m globally; critics praise its lightness and earnestness, though some say it's overstuffed Fisk Season 3 (Netflix): Kitty Flanagan returns as Helen Tudor‑Fisk in this quirky Aussie probate-law comedy. Now a partner at Gruber & Fisk, she navigates bonkers estate cases and awkward networking snafus. Fans found it charming, though some say the third season lacks the flawless flow of earlier ones.

The boys are back! Matt and Nick decided to dust off the ol' microphones and review the first film of the new DC Cinematic Universe, "Superman" by James Gunn. Will their Marvel fanboy status affect their feelings about this "new" summer blockbuster? Will they still have the same juice they always had or are they aging out of podcasting? Will they even remember how to do a show? There's only one way to find out! Other topics include getting older, catching up on life, Dr. Pepper, power scaling, Space Imps, Twisters, Corenswet is huge, Snyder's a hack, fighting your opposite, Dawn of Justice, Dawn of the Dead, Watchmen, the Kents are bumpkins, physics, The Dog Whisperer, Peacemaker, Suicide Squad, what's cannon?, Southpark, Creature Commandos, The Batman, Alien Romulus, Fantastic Four, Ironheart, and of course, staying hard.

Leading the charge is Bloodsport, played by Idris Elba (The Wire, Luther, Pacific Rim), a reluctant antihero who must learn to trust his ragtag squad. Highlights include Harley Quinn's dazzling escape sequence, the bloody beach massacre introduction, the shocking early deaths of several squad members, Peacemaker and Bloodsport's hilarious (and brutal) rivalry, and the insane showdown against the colossal alien kaiju Starro the Conqueror. Blending outrageous comedy with shocking violence and surprising heart, The Suicide Squad has become one of the most beloved DCEU films.

The second season of the American superhero television series Peacemaker is based on the character from DC Comics. While the first season is a spin-off from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film The Suicide Squad (2021), the second season is set in the DC Universe (DCU) which is a "soft reboot" of the DCEU. The season continues the story of jingoistic mercenary Chris Smith / Peacemaker following the events of the DCU film Superman (2025). Hosted by Ausha.

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.

The DCU's next chapter has already arrived. Season 2 of James Gunn's Peacemaker dropped its first episode on HBO Max earlier today. This is, of course, the second season of the spin-off show from The Suicide Squad, but that description almost feels degrading because I kind of think season 1 might have even been better than The Suicide Squad. It's taken much longer than expected to get season 2, thanks in no small part to James Gunn being hired as the Co-CEO of DC Studios mere months after season 1 released. He has also put out Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 (& the Holiday Special), Creature Commandos and Superman since. Now, the show has extra baggage because it's being folded into a whole new continuity. I adore James Gunn's films and shows, but I found it an interesting choice that Team Peacemaker would be some of the only characters carrying over into this new universe. So, is the new Peacemaker canon in the DCU explained, and what connections does this first episode have to Superman? Find out in this SPOILER-FILLED breakdown of episode 1!

Q&A on the series Peacemaker with actor Jennifer Holland. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. Picking up where The Suicide Squad (2021) left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport - only to discover that his freedom comes at a price.

[School of Movies 2025] This film began life before James Gunn was abruptly fired overnight, by Marvel. It languished for years through the triumph of Endgame, then the Pandemic, and Gunn's hiring by DC to direct their Suicide Squad sequel. The man who came back to pick up the script had been changed, and while Superman (2025) shows the sheer optimistic joy he's capable of imbuing his projects with, this farewell to the Guardians is a dark, furious requiem of betrayal, loss, bitter conflict and ultimately redemption. In choosing to make it all about Rocket Raccoon, the secret weapon of the MCU was taken out of the picture. He is attacked by newcomer Adam Warlock on Knowhere home turf, in a failed act of corporate reclamation. His killswitch is triggered, leaving him in a coma and it is up to the Guardians to investigate the Doctor Moreau-inspired High Evolutionary, and find out how to bring Rocket back. This leaves him absent for much of the present-day movie, stuck reliving his tragic past, and the earliest friends he made. These tragic events would twist his future actions into those of anger and neurotic rejection of even his closest companions. It is unlike any other MCU film, deeply personal and imbued with such vociferous anger that it actually becomes a mess, half hanging onto what was originally intended, half channelling the mixed, spiking emotions of going back to deal with your monster, saying goodbye to your dear friends and moving on to other and better things. The world is better for the confluence of events that led us to getting our new Superman and a brighter future of the DC Universe, but it was Gunn who took the damage, and this film exemplifies that.

After being released from the Suicide Squad, Peacemaker wants to try and do normal superhero stuff for a change. However, when busting up a terrorist ring introduces Christopher Smith to the cutest dog he's ever seen, he finds the unconditional love he's been denied his whole life. That is, until the dog is kidnapped right out from under him by a super-villain who has some very un-super-heroic plans for Peacemaker's brand of ultraviolence. Will he help an infamously unstable super-powered criminal steal the world's most valuable—and dangerous—DNA?

He loves peace… so much he's willing to fight for it. James Gunn took a lesser-known DC character and gave him a helmet, a pet eagle, and one of the wildest character arcs in superhero TV history. On this episode, we dive into the twisted, tragic, and occasionally hilarious history of Peacemaker, from his 1966 comic debut to his explosive HBO Max series starring John Cena. Jay and Josh tighten their chinstraps and blast into Project Butterfly on this no-holds-barred mission of peace... on Superhero Suite.

James Gunn is one of the most prolific and successful screenwriters and directors out there. After bringing the Marvel films, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, to the big screen, he was hired as the head of DC films to set up and bring to life the world of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. After successful products like THE SUICIDE SQUAD (2021) and PEACEMAKER (2022), he's back with the true kickoff to the DC Universe with SUPERMAN (2025).From IMDB: “Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned.”The new Superman film stars David Corenswet as the lead with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The aggregate website Rottentomatoes has given it great reviews from both audiences and reviewers alike. Your co-hosts take a look at this big budget beginning to the DC Universe and give their thoughts.

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV: 17 Years for Having a Gun During a Shooting In October 2021, chaos erupted at what authorities described as an illegal after-hours club in Albany, New York. The result? A mass shooting that left 29-year-old Alexander Bolton dead and six others wounded. Over 70 shell casings were recovered at the scene — pointing to a heavy exchange of gunfire involving multiple shooters.Early reports hinted at biker gang involvement, including possible tensions between the Pagans MC and a local club called Suicide Squad. Investigators believe the incident may have been triggered by an earlier act of disrespect, with suspected members of the Pagans arriving at a known Suicide Squad hangout to respond.And here's the kicker: One man — not charged with murder, not even with firing a weapon — has just been sentenced to 17 years in federal prison. Why? Because he was a felon in possession of a firearm during the shooting. That charge alone, in this context, was enough to land nearly two decades behind bars.In this episode, we break down: What really happened during the Albany shootout The role of the Pagans MC and Suicide Squad in the incident Why a gun charge during a violent crime can carry such a heavy sentence And what this means for riders who carry — and how easily associating with violence can flip your whole life upside downJoin Black Dragon, Lavish T. Williams, and Logic as we take a deep dive into this case, the laws, and the harsh reality of what can happen when the smoke clears — but the system still has you in its sights.Watch live on:Black Dragon Biker TV: /blackdragonbikertvLavish T.

Special Guest David Dastmalchian joins We Got This With Mark and Hal to settle a series of mini topics

Once again, fear and dread shroud the world outside our window. Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love offer assistance with their terrifyingly relatable News from the Fallout, a zombie story that chews on the military-industrial complex, belief in apocalyptic certainty, and humanity's stumbling response. You can read their series as a scary, thrilling, atmospherically rich shock-fest or recognize its narrative as our past, present, but hopefully not future. The zombie genre has served humanity well since Night of the Living Dead hit drive-ins in 1968. The Walking Dead subgenre allows creators to house all their political anxieties into a thrilling narrative, offering cathartic relief to their hungry audience. When there's no more doom to scroll, the dead will stalk your imagination. Of course, News from the Fallout's shambling creatures is not necessarily zombies. They're the Rotten, poor fools who followed orders and got their face full of some unknown agent after a military test goes wrong...or right. Only Otis Fallows was smart enough to slap on a gas mask and flee across the Nevada desert. With beasts on his heels, the soldier finds solace in a diner full of patrons. They should all listen to reason and band together against a ravenous horde. Tune in next month for the second issue. Until then, enjoy our hearty conversation with Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love. We discuss George R. Romero's zombie legacy, the Criterion Collection, and how it feels to work in a terrifying narrative that doesn't look much different than what we see daily on TV and our phones. News from the Fallout looks unlike anything else in comic shops right now, thanks to Jeffrey Alan Love's incredible work, which embraces distortion and atmosphere to achieve emotional reality. So, naturally, we gotta dig into the whole look, too. News from the Fallout #1 is out now from Image Comics. It's written by Chris Condon, illustrated by Jeffrey Alan Love, lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and designed by Michael Tivey. Follow Chris Condon on Bluesky. Follow Jeffrey Alan Love on Instagram and his Website. This Week's Sponsor We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading!
