POD is WAR & Peacemaker Review: Episode 8
We reach the final episode! Butterflies, cows, broken ankles and hair dye! Do things end strong or are we left confused at the end? Check it out!

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!

WAR & Peacemaker Review: It’s Cow or Never
PC Tunney: Now keeping up with tradition, Tunney’s typing ability is equivalent to that of Eagly’s understanding of English. You know where to go for his opinion, and no, it’s not a Brony Convention…though I wouldn’t be surprised…
Tunney’s Episode Rating: 5/5
Tunney’s Overall Rating: 4.51/5
Andrew: Everything comes to a head in this episode! Does the whole thing pay off? Season 2 was announced to be green lit right before the episode dropped; so how does it keep us wanting more?
The group rallied behind Harcourt at the end of episode 7 and tried to develop a plan. Leota goes as far to try and request help from the Justice League when she calls her mother (Waller). But alas, everything seems to be the fun handful versus dozens of enemies trope! But we all know that even when they approach tropes, James Gunn doesn’t do things in a boring way.
We start with a few pot shots at Green Arrow and then Peacemaker tries to get Eagly to drop the Sonic Boom helmet (from the first episode) onto the barn the cow is in, but that…I mean, HE’S AN EAGLE! You really expected sudden fluency and dog like training? Stop it. So the group has a few funny moments when they break into pairs to try and find the now lost helmet and we learn that Peacemaker is still haunted by the ghost of his father. Which even though he’s still a degrading piece of shit, he indirectly helps them find the helmet. So Neo Nazi helpful ghosts? This is like Jojo Rabbit on crack.
Economos gets chosen to place the helmet in the barn because the butterflies don’t know what he looks like, which leads to a Dye Beard confession scene that is sad, pathetic and endearing all at the same time. Peacemaker hears Economos go into the whole explanation (since he’s pretending to be a butterfly to infiltrate the barn) and you see on his face that he’s actually feeling bad about harassing him the whole series. Badass fight scene ensues which is highlighted by Peacemaker throwing his shield in the air and shooting it to drive the tip into one of the Butterflies. Just a very cool scene with the Do You Wanna Taste It song playing in the background.
Goff and Peacemaker face off, but Goff actually doesn’t want to hurt Peacemaker because he treated her kindly and she feels they have similar values. Goff reveals that the Butterflies are trying to take over Earth not to rule, but to guide humanity away from the pitfalls that plagued her people. So they are trying to enslave humanity for salvation, effectively. Peacemaker doesn’t play along, shoots Goff in the head and the psycho Sheriff guy, Leota uses the Human Torpedo helmet to kill the cow…and we see Goff crawl out of the body, and Peacemaker lets her fly away.
The last few minutes go over that the group made it out alive, Leota is exposing A.R.G.U.S., Peacemaker and Vigilante are blowing things up in the woods; but the final scene ends on Peacemaker on the porch outside of his trailer with the ghost of his father and Goff coming down for a little bit of the food that Peacemaker has left.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Very interesting way to end it all. Great series.
Andrew’s Episode Rating: 4.9/5
Andrew’s Overall Rating: 4.48/5
Adam: The end has finally come and we have one last episode to worry about and Peacemaker… does not want to hear what Leota has to say about the diary being planted on the ride to the farm which is fair with all things considered and since we know Waller is Leota’s mother, MAYBE WE CAN GET THE JUSTICE LEAGUE! No?? They’re busy? Fuck those guys…
Now that we have an idea and a location, we have a handful of helmets to hopefully get all of this done perfectly fine. Anti-Gravity, just activate it by saying Activate Anti-Grav… and there it goes. Okay, well Eagly can fly the Sonic Boom helmet from Episode 1 to destroy the barn at the top… and Eagly doesn’t understand English like Harcourt said. Time to look for it.
As the group splits up to find the helmet that Eagly dropped in the woods, a new thing appears with Peacemaker, his father coming back to haunt him. He begins to hallucinate and see’s Auggie there, trying to kill him with a blow dart and Harcourt comes around the corner and finds the Helmet with this moment gone. Thanks… Racist Ghosts? As they go into Plan C, they kill a guard, take their uniform and Economos has to infiltrate on the inside and place the helmet near The Cow. He finally admits to the beard being dyed when questioned by the Butterflies and then, the fireworks start. As the army goes to charge Economos, Leota uses a walkie-talkie to say Activate Sonic Boom to destroy the barn and in turn, The Cow.
Vigilante, Peacemaker and Harcourt rush in as the full version of ‘Do You Want to Taste It?’ plays and fights off the Butterflies. Vigilante and Harcourt take care of the ones outside as Peacemaker takes care of the problem inside. The group… holds their own for a bit but the numbers become overwhelming and Leota comes in to help save the day. Peacemaker makes it into the barn and Goff of all things helps bring him in to tell them why they came to Earth and everything else but, Chris is having none of it and we kill the Cow along with the detective so Goff is captured by Peacemaker again. Oh look… the Justice League came… after everything was said and done.
After all of this, everyone goes to the hospital to treat all damage, Leota has a press conference about clearing Peacemaker’s name, the Suicide Squad project and who it is ran by. Chris watches from a hospital alongside Emilia’s bed, Vigilante… fucks off out of the hospital window when this goes on and Economos goes back to his old job, pictures of his friends on the desk as we fade to Chris, back at his trailer; Eagly going to find some more dead rodents, Goff eating some of the remaining goop from The Cow and… his ghost father, sitting on the porch with him to cliff hang Season 2.
Adam’s Episode Rating: 5/5
Adam’s Overall Rating: 4.56/5

Patrick returns to the show this week and leads the guys through a stacked Trailer Park, including the most recent previews of Old Guard 2, The Long Walk, Peacemaker Season 2, and Stick. Patrick also shares his thoughts with Dave and Tunney about Thunderbolts* and addresses some interesting rumors about what didn’t make it into the film. Meanwhile, Disney makes a very divisive decision about a 7th theme park, and President Trump’s trade war targets the film industry. It sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Prepare for the most electrifying even of the HPW calendar!
While the stage is set for Blood & Thunder 4 and the HPW World Trios Championships, HPW must also address the return of KAGE!
Thundra Plateau is ready.
Wrestling is Life, but life has its stormy weather. The rain is going to be hot in June, but will the reign continue through the Summer? The Dark Forces may have failed to take the Undisputed Triforce World Championship from Zelda, but they still have the World Trios Championships. Harlequin, Lupay & Glutko will step inside the double ring, double cage to defend their gold. On one side, Arrow Club’s special combination of Fin Balure, Torbevito & Bad Croc Scaly. On the other, a new combination of its own in Cia, Lana & Midna.
Speaking of Cia, Lana & Midna…
The three of them are together, dressed in workout attire, in what appears to be a dance studio. This is a collaboration stream for Midna and Lana as they’re both big presences on the internet, aka “influencers.” Lana and Midna wave and say hi, and they give introductions, including Cia, who is reluctant to be standing there. Cia doesn’t know why they need to do this. Lana says they have to improve their teamwork. They may have won against Los Taros Locos, but it was really sketchy there for a second. Midna adds that doing a dance routine together is great for their timing and coordination.
Cia says she didn’t mean that, she meant having to stream it! Oh, well obviously, combining Midna’s viewing audience with Lana’s, and HPW’s overall, this makes huge numbers! So? And huge money…! Cia raises her eyebrow and says, “Oh really?” The trio sets up, and Lana says obviously they first have to learn the steps. Midna brings up, “Wait, what song are we dancing to?” Oh, good point. Lana was thinking something from Lulu. Cia asks, “Lulu? From the Indigo-Go’s?” Midna says Lulu’s got a great solo album. Lana agrees! That’s so great that they like the same music. Cia isn’t as familiar with her solo stuff, so she’ll rely on them for this.
Lana suggests they go with Energetic Me. For one, it has the most energy, duh. And it still has a dance vibe, which is the whole point. Midna says she might’ve gone with Royal Discotheque or Ten Outta Ten, but she sees Lana’s point. Lana shows them the dance moves she has in mind. Left arm up, bent at the elbow, and the hand up against the side of the chest. Then they switch so the right arm goes up to mirror that position while the left hand goes back to the hip. Maybe add a little hip pop as that happens. Do that a couple times, and then turn to the right. This puts the left hand on the back of the hip, right hand on the back of the neck for a sexy pose.
Then you turn to flip it the other way, then do a 360 with a big neck whipping, hair flipping move. Then finish with feet apart and double V’s up by the eyes, maybe with a wink. Cia says, “Yeah, okay…” while Midna says, “I like it!” Midna says she’ll set up in the middle. Cia asks why Midna is in the middle, and Midna says it’s symmetry. She’s the tallest, Cia and Lana are about the same, it makes sense. Yeah, but it also means Midna is the center of attention. Well, that’s just coincidental. Lana says it doesn’t matter, the point is them doing it all in synch. Cia sighs and says, “Fine.” Midna is in the middle, Cia is on her right, and the music plays.
Left arm, right arm, left arm, right arm, pose to the right, pose to the left, 360 spin and neck whip, then double V. Midna nailed it, but Cia was lagging. Cia defends she was not, but Lana says it’s alright, they’ll just keep trying. They run through it a couple more times, they do tighten it up, and all three feel really good about how that went.
The Dark Forces are watching.
They aren’t impressed by the “little dance party.” Harlequin says the Faces of Evil are way better anyway. Especially with the classics like the Thriller dance and Macarena. Zant says, “The Macarena? Pfft, and people think I’m a dork…” Harlequin says, “Don’t you dare mock the Macarena!” Harlequin changes tabs on the computer and starts playing the song! After the introduction, he lifts his right arm up flat, then his left. Then he turns the right hand up, the left hand up, puts his right hand on his left shoulder, left hand on right shoulder, then moves right hand up behind his head, and then his left.
Now his arms crisscross, right hand on left hip and left hand on right hip, to then switch so right hand on right hip and left hand on left hip. And of course, he swivels his hips in one big circle to go with “HEY~ Macarena! AIGHT!” Zant rolls his eyes while Harlequin keeps going, jumping 90 degrees to his left. Ganon walks in, Ghirahim following behind, and he tells Harlequin to “turn that crap off.” Harlequin pouts but he does as told. Ganon seethes as he takes a seat in his big arm chair. “Needless to say… Wrestling is Life didn’t go how I’d hoped. What was Kage even doing there?! Did either of you have any idea he was going to betray us?!”
Zant and Ghirahim are a bit flustered. Zant isn’t even sure Kage was part of The Dark Forces at the time Ganon took ownership. He’d kinda gone rogue at some point, didn’t he? Ghirahim agrees, it didn’t seem like he was even aligned with Cia and the others. All the more reason for Kage to keep his nose out of Ganon’s business! If Kage cared about the Dark Forces, then he would’ve helped them fight back at HyruleMania, or any time since. Kage clearly just wants the title, same as Ganon, so he’s a dead man walking. Speaking of that… Where’s Kevin? He came back in April, why isn’t he here?
Somewhere dark and spooky…
Heavy footsteps can be heard echoing as Kevin Gibdo moves down the hallway. He speaks with a low, airy voice, “Majora… Your madness… spread like wildfire… You thought by setting me ablaze… I would crumble into ash… You were wrong! Instead, I have been purified…! Purged of flaws and weaknesses… I now come forth… as gold!” There’s a light at the end of the hall, and Kevin enters a grand hall, with treasure gleaming in the light. At the center is the sarcophagus. Kevin walks up to it, opens it, and then his burnt and tattered bandages fall away before he steps inside. The sarcophagus closes, then the eyes on it begin to glow… Then the entire thing glows!
The glowing becomes a shining light, and that shining becomes so bright that nothing can be seen. It is clear things between Kevin and Majora are not over. Will the Masked Monster even stand a chance once the Gibdo of All Gibdos is restored to full strength?
Back to the Dark Forces…
Shabonne says, “I’m sure Kevin is just fine doing whatever Gibdos do on their time off.” Tali says, “What matters is what I’m about to do to that tiny little weasel with the Goddess Championship. If The Dark Forces is gonna have all the gold, then I need to squash her like a bug and take that title off of whatever’s left!” Ganon nods and says he likes the initiative. Tali will start on her own Triple Crown as the Dark Forces will make Hyrule Pro-Wrestling their kingdom! The group cheers while raising a toast! And then Harlequin gets Glutko and Lupay to join in on the Macarena, to which Ganon groans and facepalms.
And so, the ThunderStruck card is set!
The double ring, double cage will rattle with Blood & Thunder as the HPW World Trios Championships are on the line! The Gerudo Ace looks to settle a grudge with the Hero’s Shadow! And now, the Million Rupee Championship and HPW Goddess Championships will also be on the line! Will the Dark Forces absolutely dominate the Summer? Be ready to endure the heat on Friday, June 20th!
