Well since the Bandwagon Nerds are buried in other shows, the tumultuous triple triad decided this show’s title just goes too well with our show name. So as a cheap excuse for a literary reference, and to spread the good word of hair metal and John Cena, POD is WAR will be reviewing Peacemaker!

Show: Peacemaker
Streaming Service: HBO Max
IMDB: 9.0/10
Rotten Tomatoes: Critics – 94% / Audience – 86%

WAR & Peacemaker Review: Murn After Reading

Adam: So in all fairness, this one to me was the “weaker” episode. Not that it was bad but, let me explain. Every episode had a get together, having that band join together moment but this, seemed like it shattered the group more than anything. Leota found out Murn was a Butterfly and apparently, Harcourt and Economos had knowledge of it prior. For some reason, Murn isn’t the whole… taking over to survive Butterfly Invasion but more of the, I needed to so I can warn people about the invasion type of Butterfly. It was weird.

Anyway, we have Peacemaker and Vigilante in Peacemaker’s house, talking to Goff from Episode 3 in the jar and then, things get sour. The Police surround the home, Vigilante tries to help by taping the jar to his hip and once they make a seemingly clean escape, Vigilante falls and breaks the jar so the Butterfly escapes. Now that Goff found a new host in Sophie, the head of Detective, we have a lot of new problem. Murn has intel on the source of Butterfly food source and we have a whole invasion that came to Earth and inhabiting the entire police force at the end.

OH! And the White Dragon is out of prison so… a new challenger has appeared for Peacemaker and the gang.

Adam’s Rating: 3.75/5

PC Tunney: And once again, our commissioner is dealing with wedges, wood and traps in his life. If you think it means anything else outside of Golf, you should check out POD Is WAR… and then to a therapist for the dirty mind.

Tunney’s Rating: 4/5

Andrew: Legitimately, the IMDB rating I find insanely surprising. This was probably the heaviest “table setting” episode that Peacemaker has had thus far. The levity that the bring your relative to work day scenes add, are easily offset with a lot of dominoes falling.

Detective Song went over the new Captain’s head to get Auggie Smith absolved of the charges and a warrant written up to get Peacemaker. So we get one of Song’s better moments where she actually gets in a solid burn against the racist, and he tells one of the Neo Nazis that first he needs to get laid and then he’s going to kill his son.

Well this brings us to the Goff butterfly trying to communicate with Peacemaker, while the police are heading to his trailer to arrest him. Shenanigans and stupidity from Vigilante make things more complicated than they need to be. So when Goff Butterfly gets out, it actually goes into Song’s body. The rest of the episode is Song recruiting dozens of butterflies to take over the entire police force, the White Dragon getting his crew together to kill Peacemaker and the A.R.G.U.S. crew pointing fingers and uncovering agendas left and right.

Murn being the butterfly, Leota planting the diary that the Butterfly Police Force use to incriminate Peacemaker, Harcourt being conflicted between duty and a burgeoning friendship, Economos starting to come into his own and Peacemaker slowly becoming a more well-rounded person and disregarding much of the early stupidity we thought was all his persona. Was this great for setting the stage for the last two episodes? Hell yeah. But on its own merits, the episode is weak and really relies heavily on the first season sticking the landing for these moving pieces to matter.

Andrew’s Rating: 3.85/10

Consensus POD is WAR Rating on Peacemaker – Murn After Reading: 3.87/10

PC Tunney

This week, the Bandwagon is stripped to the core as Dave and Tunney guide you through the week around the Nerdosphere. A visit to the Trailer Park highlights anticipated hits such as Jurassic World: Rebirth, Welcome to Derry, Zootopia 2, and Predator: Killer of Killers. Is a Street Fighter movie in the works, and will Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns be in it? Sesame Street finds a new home on Netflix, plus Disney has delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars by about 7 months. Is there reason to be concerned, or is this all part of a bigger plan? Plus, Dave & Tunney pay their respects to George Wendt and show love to the lasting legacy of Norm Peterson and Cheers in general.

Mitchell’s Hyrule Puro-Resu News Report! (5/23/25)

What’s with all the glowing?

HPW Investigates: The Glowing Aura Phenomenon…

Riju, Sidon, Thunderbird, Donny B. Kool, Yunobo. Five stars of HPW have had powerful performances, but there’s something more to it… What is the reason behind this modern mystery? And could there be another?

Reviewing the timeline of events…

March 21st, the Triforce Tournament Bracket Finals

As the Gerudo Sisterhood was settling its grudge, Riju fought as hard as she could as the massive underdog against the Dame of the Dunes. Riju would survive heavy impact, begin to glow as she made her comeback, but Shabonne made sure she would lose the match. On that same night, we would see Sidon and Thunderbird each have their own moment where, after surviving heavy damage, they would begin to glow and make their comebacks. From there, Sidon and Thunderbird would win their way into the Triforce Tournament Finals at the Triforce Annivesary show.

April 1st, The Triforce Anniversary

Not only would we see Sidon & Thunderbird each bring out that same glowing energy, but Donny B. Kool would bring out that same phenomenon during the 21 Person Battle Royal. Donny held his own, but with that many opponents, winning was unlikely, and he was eliminated fifth-to-last.

May 1st, Wrestling Is Life

Yunobo won that 21 Person Battle Royal in April, and made his challenge for the HPW Death Mountain Championship. Igos du Ikana was as sharp as ever, but both men pushed each other to their limits. Yunobo powered through submissions and sharp strikes, bringing about the glowing aura, but Igos still won the match and retained the title.

So what might this all mean?

Five stars have been seen with glowing auras during the emotional heights of these matches. Or perhaps, the glowing auras are the results of these emotional heights? Could they be brought about by the “fighting spirit” within each one and in turn bring out new strength and energy? Each one of the five certainly seemed to “dig down deep” and fight like they were rising above mortal expectations.

Another detail that must be considered is the number of people who have presented this glowing aura phenomenon. Five people, with no connections between them: Riju the Gerudo; Sidon the Zora; Thunderbird the Ruto; Donny B. Kool the Gero; and Yunobo the Goron. Granted, they’re all young, and certainly leading this new generation forward. But the number itself is a point of focus. Needless to say that in Hyrule, three is the magic number, originating with the Triforce of legend. Therefore, multiples of three are also important. Five recorded phenomena, could this be a breaking of the norm? Or could there be a sixth?

Images flash on screen of the many faces on the HPW roster. Who could it be that enters the GAP?
