If you happen to be watching this, congratulate the folks over Prepper for chopping past all that pulp and getting this visible on YouTube. We don't like censoring stuff, but we have to.

Otherwise, you don't get to watch along with us. So thanks to Preper for work and dance. double time today coming in early yeah people bitch but you know what we got like five times the amount of copyright claims and and like 10 times the amount of yellow dollar bill signs nowadays so you know if we can get some f words in there accept it it's a that's a big victory people bitch about what anytime you have to mute or blur something they think we like doing they're like just put this all together my favorite thing that we get on the socials is them being like where is it

where is there and I'm like peace maker just ended we just watched it they're ending it hey man be kind to those at prepper yeah and my friends John and Greg jabby Kuwait and

and yeah be kind of Natalie Gold what jabby Kuwait to the media nights no it sounds like you were about to say jabby koi yeah do you know I almost called him today because I couldn't

figure out how to do it I don't want to pull John for the reaction and you were picking up the phone I was like I need tech help. He probably would have risen to the occasion. I know he would have. He probably would have come over here and like recommended you a bunch of things, taking everything apart and been like, okay. I didn't know what to do.

I suck at tech, but then I just interrupted John, like always. Well, leave a like for interrupting John like always. Yeah. And don't forget to subscribe. Hit the notification bill so you can be notified when the finale comes your way. It's next week next Thursday. And if you happen to listen, they're listening to this in podcast form. Leave us a rating if you could.

It helps us out a lot. All right. I know you've got some gripes to levy at this show. I now hated it. Roxanne, I'm going to lead off with you because we've got to start pausing. Otherwise, the people are going to get mad at us. How are you feeling? She probably feels great with the brunette hair.

Yes. How is you and your new hair feeling? Is this my Earth X hair? Do you watch shows differently with the different hair? Let me tell you something. Doesn't this feel like it's not my Earth X hair? Like, blonde girl was my Earth X hair. Like, now I'm back.

yeah you're just showing which side of it yeah that was me masking i was trying to that was my disguise my lawn hair um listen i thought that last week was the best episode of the show so far and this week was an excellent follow-up to it but sometimes like the build-up is even cooler than the execution you know so like last week as we're seeing ads run away and all these things about to start i think that this week like watching it all kind of unfold was really really well done but it's like that one-two punch it's almost like one-two-punch it's almost like one extended episode. I wonder how we're going to wrap this up

in eight. Because this feels like a mid-season moment, and we have one episode left. So I'm a little concerned about that. The revelation of Chris by the end that he feels like it's him I thought was just so poignant, and I really loved the love story in this. So in general, very solid episode for me. Definitely feels like a whole other season of TV, just a very short one. Right.

Gee. I'm feeling good because that brunette girl over there, she got me a birthday present. Oh, I did. I got it a month ago. But I'm sad you're opening this on camera because I think you have part of this. But now you said you're sad. I'm especially excited.

Oh, here we go. Unboxing. Surprise. Okay. Can I read this letter? Yeah, I'm going to comment. Did you write it in the letter? Yeah, of course I wrote it.

I'm going to comment throughout, though. It's going to be hard to read because my pen ran out of ink. So I had to just keep going back over and over and over and over a different part. You're going to be annotating this. Yeah. Greg. Nope. It's worse than I thought.

Forever grateful to you. Lucky to work for you. Even lucky to be your friend. Why is he doing this to me? You're a great dude. You stick to your word. You accomplish your goals. You're checking on your people.

You rock. You do? All these things. Much love. Rocks. Hey, you rock. Rocks. A well-written letter, dude.

It's a play on my world. Except for the pen that ran out. Did you know your name is Roxy when you told him you rocks? Yeah, I did. Dude, that's just crazy, dog. Magique. Wait, so first do not the box. First, do the other thing.

Yeah. Hey, that's creative, man. Oh, that's pretty. Did you know she was getting this? I had no idea. That's good. That's very sweet. In the door.

That's crazy. I was just about to fire all of you. So this is now I'm pressured to keep all of you. I put two other pictures you could swap out in there that are in the bag. That's a nice photo. Just pictures of you you could put in there. No, it's all of us still. You guys are here for eternity.

Just a case. Oh. That's a go-all. The Koi Bert Bachelor. Not Bachelor Party. In-Kajorn Party. Yeah, I love me to invite a Koy's bachelor party. It was sick, bro.

There's someone missing here? Not everyone's here. Yeah. everyone's there it just felt like you were not like it front and center of that one so there's a ghost freak in the back Olivia gets to be in this one yeah so maybe swapping that one yeah it's just the team on this one at our multi-con event is good stuff hell yeah I'm like talking the pictures out loud and not showing you guys the photos yeah show don't this is a photo of everyone but when I saw the frame I was like this is so

cool perfect this thing I feel like I'm now I'm now like we're calling do you have Do you own this? I don't. I was at you. Last week when I was at Citywalk, and I had a comic book store there, and I saw these, and I was like,

maybe I should get one for the office. It's actually what I was thinking. Thanks for another world. I was like, yay. I was literally like checking that. They have a whole section at Citywalk. No.

You know talking about that? They have like a comic store next to the theater. I know exactly what you're talking about. No, but I ordered it from the store. Oh, hell yeah. You can just go online to your website. This is a shit, man.

Yay, happy birthday, I'm on to go. I really wanted to get one for the office. You know, the worst part is this was all on time. Everything was here for your birthday, but you weren't here, and then I wasn't here. And then it's just been a month. So, anyway, happy birthday, dude. Thank you. And my gift back to you is telling you why this episode is a piece of show.

Yeah, I knew you thought that hit me. A piece of shitmaker. Gosh. Oh, I like the episode. Thank you, Roxy. These are really cool gifts. Thank you. You got it, dude.

yeah I did like the episode I agree with both I agree with the sincere comments you made and the half sarcastic comment you made John that it is something that does feel like we have started a new season and I feel that we're going to be going through this shit really quick I'm feeling it out in the sense of how it's a full season story

and Chris goes to this new earth and I think we did a lot of lack of exploration because we wanted to preserve the twist which was a really good reveal and I do think the follow-up that happens a lot of the ideas and the execution I love the weirdly conflicting turn they do with Robert Patrick here

that was such a surprise where the whole time I'm going Why do I feel like he's not as bad a guy right now? And he's still like giving in to the regime in the world as much as he fancies himself as someone who's really, you know, I've just adjusted this, but I'm fighting evil in my own way. Come on, we really know what you're like, dude.

At the same time is his path of forgiveness and trying to teach his son, like you've got to just forgive. It's not going to lead anywhere. It was a nice surprise. So a lot of that I really did enjoy. And there's nothing really here that I out rightfully disliked. I do feel, though, that this is the case of shorter runtime is hindering impact of things that occur in an episode now. Why are these episodes so short?

Does anybody know the answer to that? Is it money? I can't imagine it's money. It all went to paying Nicholas Holt to show up. I don't know why it's so short. I do think, though, that this is, when you guys brought up the question of how it all wrap up but eight, and who knows, maybe it wraps up at eight and suddenly it re-contextualizes everything. And it's like, wow, this is all so much better. And a lot of people have complained about the shorter run times with this show.

And generally, I feel like I've only brought it up once as a thing that I felt like was hindering it. But more often than not, I actually think it's been pretty solid. And this was the case of where I did feel like, I think we're kind of moving. A little too fast right now. Like, this probably should have been a 10 episode season. So that way, like, you know, the first half is leading into this other world. And then the last half is leading into this other world. Hell, even the Aeroverse spends more time in Earth X that this is right now, you know?

So I do, I do kind of wish that we, who knows? Like, maybe they go back to this earth. I like the setup. I like the concept of how Chris has been so much. built off of this shame and guilt for having been the hand that killed his brother. And now he goes to this other earth where he feels the responsibility of the death again, you know, indirectly getting his other father killed. And then now setting his brother on the path to killing him when all he's wanted is to have his brother back.

So again, there's a lot of really cool things they're cooking with. Overall, the dish being served though feels like it's being microwaved. Whoa. Yellow. A good net of four. A good net of four. So that's the part. But, you know, I loved a lot of this season.

I loved the last episode. And this one I liked. But I'm not quite in that loved terrain while given in its flowers still. But John, how do you feel now that Roxy and I have made all the points? Come on with something smart. I agree with the amalgamation of your points. I mean, I am kind of with you both This is a time

Sometimes you get this feeling during shows But I have it particularly strongly At this moment with this show Which is the feeling that A I kind of need to hold off on Solidifying too many opinions until next week Because who knows if they'll And also I really wonder how this would play

If you were binging it and not waiting week to week And so yeah I feel like this episode had so many strengths and in the previous episode I really admired that while Chris shows up a small handful of times and really for one centerpiece of a scene and then he feels like present the whole time and here I really like that in this show

they take some time like you know judo master and adabio talking for a while is great like that they take the time for these scenes and this is another episode that's heavy on the ensemble but it was kind of the inverse where I was like Chris makes some pretty big realizations and has some pretty big confrontations in this episode. And I feel like he was kind of caught up in a bunch of, his presence to me was kind of caught up in a bunch of other things. And so like the punctuation at the end of him being like, these guys came in and found me, convinced me to come back and turn myself in.

I feel like that would ring a lot harder if we really locked back into Chris's POV during this. because everything they give you with Robert Patrick and with David Denman is really interesting. And I love getting to watch Robert Patrick give the notes in the performance because it causes this thing within you as a viewer. You're going like, wait a minute. This guy seems like he might not be who I think he is,

but do I want to open up to that idea knowing a lot about who this guy is and how he's been behaving up until now? So yeah, it's like they brought in a really nice set of nuances in an episode I wish was two episodes. Like, I think they could have really then done the exploration we didn't get with the setup. And granted, there's not a lot you need once you pan to the Hitler mural. But at the same time...

And mine come upon every single desk. Yeah, there's a lot of personal stuff, though, that does feel like we kind of swept past it in the chaos of the moment, which you could argue is justifiable because of the chaos of the moment. But also, yeah, the impact for some of the really lovely moments they created isn't felt for me as much in the whole. Yeah, it doesn't feel as lived. Like, I don't feel like we really lived in this. They got this whole journey

that apparently he's had with his family, but again, because they wanted to keep that reveal, we don't explore any of that. And then with that, you know, it's like, it makes sense of guy once he realizes every sign around it, like, I get it. It's funny. He's kind of dumb. But seriously,

there's a hit little mural, mural right there. Yeah. Come on now. Like, I know it's funny, but come on now and it crosses a line to it's a little too much for the joke yeah to like this like throw it away for the humor and i i i think like with this guy being here for that long i understand the switcheroo of course once you realize holy shit i'm in nazi world i still feel like there would have been a little bit more of an inner conflict that he would

have had in some capacity because of the relational side with his having his brother there and his back that there would have been a little bit of a thing there to contend with you mean even if he had noticed he might not have won a left I feel like that would have been more an interesting writing too if immediately you noticed late in the game like I think it would have been more interesting I I wonder if we're going to get to that like now that he was kind of forced to leave if we're going to get some sort of like my you murdered my dad he wasn't a bad guy I'm not saying he wasn't about But that's his impression of it

Comparatively to the rest of this universe Maybe a little less terrible It's kind of like a good The way Greg phrased it and the way you just phrased it That's I'm kind of questioning myself right now I'm in my head thinking about this man Because right this is the concept that we learned since we're kids About the bully versus the bystander

And essentially what his dad is saying is like I can't call me a Nazi because I am not is what he is claiming I just choose to fight the monsters that are right in front of me only and it's like so you're a bystander to the problem you didn't join the sons of liberty and while you might be still doing some good on your planet you're not fighting the major fight that is anybody who is a minority is being kept in a camp or wherever they are so I don't know. I like was questioning myself because as I felt really I was feeling for him as he's giving that speech and I'm like all right so he's definitely not as bad as some other people here seem to be but are when he's like I have to stand before God and he can judge me at the end I'm like what is this God's judgment of that? So I did really appreciate that even though it was short there were moments that really have me kind of questioning and thinking like how huh, how do I feel about that? About what he just said. A lot of the impact is still there. It just, I feel like I watched the abridged version of an episode. Completely.

And I do think that while the, you know, like, you get his attachment and it's a really easy one to get because family. But also, I think it might have helped. I like the character moments allowed by the sequence of events they chose to go with here. however I think too just having some time between the three of them Chris his dad and his brother all like I don't know having dinners one of those sequences where they're all getting on and you feel the tragedy of the heart swell and the knowledge that this will have to be dismantled somehow and I feel like weirdly since Chris like came over here and decided to you know try and inhabit this earth my brain is torn because on the one hand I'm like I get it he's away from the team the team's trying to get him back he's kind of gone down this rabbit hole so it makes sense for him to feel a little less present and we're kind of wanting to reclaim him from the perspective of the rest of the ensemble. However, this is a huge thing for Chris as a character and I feel like seeing his POV on this place when the nuances are fully on the table or at least a little more leading up to that.

Again, like with the bonds beyond just like they're here, but like really what would attach you to them in real time? here. I feel like seeing those things would have helped. Exactly. Yeah. That's exactly what I'm getting at. I feel like we missed. I have a question for you guys. That has been kind of a hot topic on socials this week about this show. And then in this episode,

they addressed it head on. So we hear in this episode when ads is talking, she says, you know, this world doesn't feel so different than ours at some point. I don't remember the exact line, but it was something in reference to the racism that we're seeing on

Earth-X versus, which I don't think they've actually called it Earth-X, but that's what it was, yeah. This year has been a big transformation for M-Wa. As many of you now know, back in January of this year, I started off at 218 pounds. By September, I was down to 170. Now I've been a little bit more focused on building up some muscle. And a big part of that has been about fueling myself correctly. But between work, filming and commuting, I really have time to plan or prep meals.

And on social media this week, this has been a big topic of a lot of people thinking, like, stop trying to compare this to Earth and whatnot. I wonder if you guys saw our friend Juju's post and he received a ton of racism about that too.

But do you guys think that James Gunn's purpose of this show at this point and in this episode in that conversation with ads is, to try to get people to look at our own earth is that you guys feel like that's that's the purpose of this of peacemaker i don't get the understanding that i don't i don't feel like his intention is that at the forefront you know i imagine that maybe that might be part of it in in the back of one's mind after they're done writing like oh maybe i was actually going for that but i don't consider it like a foreground thought and if it is I don't feel like it's that strong if that is if that is the idea yeah I mean it's it's it's so it's so boilerplate in the way it's done then in a way that's very simplistic and less discussional you know unless we like take the time to pause

and think that is one of the things that I thought they were doing and I think yeah that that's there i think it's part of it that's something i talked about directly with coy of you know showing that a lot of the time people we don't realize are a certain type of thought and feeling towards you know who people have racism xenophobia what have you they might just seem normal and a lot of the time they do come across normal but that's the part of where i think the reflection is done really well, you know, because even here after Keith has the whole thing of trying to get out of bio and help them out,

I'm here sitting going, I feel kind of sorry for this guy, you know, in this moment in time, showing that, I guess, in a weird way, it's actually kind of doing a different challenge of, that's not like Nazi sympathizer or something, but it's

there's a humanizing side to it, which again, I wish, lent itself to the debate for Chris's struggles a little more. That's what I think, that's when I feel like those themes would really come through when you see how it's personally affecting our main characters. And you actually brought up something earlier while we were watching that I was jokingly being dismissive about of them helping out those who are trapped in like the concentration caps wherever they gather someone like and had a bio and where they placed them. Right. And they really don't seem to give a shit about it.

I was like, oh, they, they, I thought like maybe that care would come around. And he just left the planet, you know, and, and also, like, knowing James Guns' his prior work, it's like, even after the suicide squad, I, it seemed like something that might be a thing that they might do, especially with this level of knowledge, or even out of bio might present. Or what about Superman with the one country versus another, you know? I can imagine them coming back to the, at least. concept of debating that next week. I think the, the, um, I think the thing that's happening

to me here is I think James Gunn, uh, obviously he's a sharp writer, so there's some level of intent, but I feel like this reminds me of what happened with Superman. Whereas the countries. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like these fictional countries warring and then people were coming out of the woodwork being like, oh man, he's shoving this commentary about

Israel, Palestine down our throats and other people being like, actually it's Ukraine, Russia. And then you start to step back and realize, like, oh, this is a Roershack test, and this is a kind of situation that happens. And depending on where you are in time and history, depending on your experience, you will fill that with the allegorical counterpart to our own world. And so I feel like this is doing some level of that with the whole, like, societal Nazi thing. and the question of like, is this place so different from our own? Like, yes, it's different, but yeah, there are certain things that are similar, and it's up to the viewer to either kind of paint in those things or to go,

not at all, you know, this is that, you know, and to be completely in denial rather than engaging with the question at all. And so I don't necessarily think that this is him being like, I need to make some kind of grand manifesto about how our culture is in terms of prejudice and bigotry but at the same time those are very prevalent things in our society that I'm sure he's aware of whilst writing obviously but I don't know if it was a one to one of like this show will be an allegory for this because if that's the case I think they needed to do a whole lot more yeah is it possible that this season well now I've heard that maybe we aren't getting a third season but if there is a third season the intention is by the end of the eighth episode we decide as a collective that we can't just leave those people there and we need to go back to Earth X and then we spend all of season three there. I don't know how I like the idea. I logistically don't know how you liberate an entire planet. Like it's an impossible conundrum. Yeah, but they're there's superheroes. So it's a different

situation. But that's a world with superheroes in it too. Like I feel like the problem just exponentially multiply. Like they can go. I think they'll all die doing it. they set up keith to go after which by the way i thought he did a really great i think the actors here are really great so so good chris's speech johnsina's speech at the end was excellent amazing uh the two vigilantes were fun at a bio and judo master getting more human moments with judo master robert patrick's a turn or a different shade of ogy presenting this more sympathetic side was surprising and well worth it it there's there's so much i really liked in the performances here it seems though that they're not going to go back to her keith would be going after them and then like i've i've sold my

admittedly i have to wait till next week it could be way wrong i have already sold myself they're not going to go back to that earth well they just gave away their portal so yeah they gave away their portal and i imagine they're going to do other multiversal fun stuff they'll do fun hopping around then I do think that it comes at the sacrifice of Chris as a character he first went here was praise as a hero for murdering the sons of liberty people who were fighting the good fight and now he's just he probably did some other things here you know that when we last got up with him he was like covered in blood so he probably killed other innocent people we don't know we don't really know

but he definitely wasn't helping towards the overall bigger cause something like what that vigilante what that earth's vigilantees stood for and they kind of dumbed them down a little too much for me honestly that like that it really bothered me i hear you though gregg because i think that something that i love about james gun is that he does implement humor in a lot of interesting ways that i think is as quippy and fun to watch however if you're going to tell me that chris was like us and he didn't notice for a little bit i'm going to believe you he just didn't notice that there was a lot more white people. If you're going to tell me there's

a literal Hitler mural at Argus. At Argus. And Mink's on every single table. And you've been there so much longer. And you've been with your dad and your brother. And you found out about the Sons of Liberty. So like, I'm with you that

the more you think about it, the more frustrating it is because I know that even in this episode, Hartcourt calls him dumb. You know, I didn't say he was smart or whatever. Or no, um, Ads does that. I didn't say he was smart. I just said he was my best friend and I'm to stand up for him but I we have to have some level of respect for him yeah and that was like I know that James Gunn clearly did that for the joke for the bit and but like that's real

we can't take away the fact that he's looking at that so I'm totally with you on that I I think I just chose to accept James Gunn humor a while ago and I liked this episode despite that moment but it's not a good moment yeah it's very funny in the moment right but it's like one of those things that yeah given the point of the journey being here, it seems, yeah, like you took the joke. Yeah, it's one of the rare, I feel like sometimes there will be an interlude where you don't need the comedy, but it's not really detracting from anything, whereas that is like, I thought it was really funny, but also the biggest red flag you could possibly have. And with all this, you know, nuanced debate about his father and brother and stuff like that, I feel like, yeah, you would have.

I'm with you. I laughed at that. And then it was later, I'm like, well, something kind of wrong. And nothing for nothing. Like, I know that this wasn't probably the intention, but, and I'm sure people at home are going to roll their eyes at me right now and go right ahead. But today is Yom Kippur, which is the highest holy holiday for the Jews. And to do an episode that is so heavily featuring Hitler and Mine Kampf, to, like, make a joke of it and not to seriously address it. And also to, like, not reference that we are on a Nazi earth and not have any reference to the Jews.

And also have him have no acknowledge. acknowledgement or nothing it's interesting that this is the number one this is the highest day for the jesus and then it came out so it's kind of like maybe we don't make as big of a joke of it but i it's james gunn and that is kind of what he does so i'm not going to take it too personally i feel like he shied away yeah maybe there's more cut on i don't know i don't feel like it was a mandate i think he shied away he gets a lot of shit now and i wonder if once in a while they gets to him i don't know the guy personally how could it not yeah but i don't know i've met him once but i don't like i I imagine there was a bit of shying away. Or, like, we have to keep this brief just to the limited number of episodes we were granted. Yeah, it's possible. But, like, make this one 15 minutes longer? It is weird. I don't know why they just can't do that.

Yeah, yeah. It does make me wonder, because it does seem that the variable length episode time and place we live in, it suggests to me that it leaves some kind of discretion up to the person writing this to figure out how long they want to make each one or not. This is, like, network television link. Yeah. Yeah. Of not even a network television drama link, though. Yeah.

You know, network of television drama is 42 minutes. This is 35. This is 33 on the runtime given. But they got the recaps and they got the teaser for whatever show. They're that's tending to someone's algorithm. They got the credits. It's weird. Yeah.

But it's so strange, so because if you, if somebody asked me, like, did you like this episode of piecemaker? I'd be like, yeah. So I'm not going to sit here. Yeah, yeah, I do. I inherently like it because piecemaker. Exactly. I'm not going to sit here and claim I didn't like the other, because I did, but it's one of those kind of the more you dissect it,

potentially the less. It's the part, it's made up of so many great parts, and the whole is not as great as the sum of the parts on this. Unfortunately not. Hopefully eight crushes. That's what I'm hoping. It'll be an hour and a half long.

Well, all right, gang. Any other stray thoughts before we buggy on out of here? No, I shill for D.C. I shall for D.C. I shall for D.C. And, hey, more judo master fun moments. That's what I say. Well, gang, leave us your thoughts on the episode.

What are you expecting for next week? Were you satisfied with this? Do you think they cheebed out? Was it too much for you? Let us know down in the comments, and we'll catch you next time. Much love. And, you know, don't be a Nazi. Don't be a Nazi.
