THE FANDOM ZONE 331: "Back to the Suture" Is Up!

 
"Ads, I'm trusting you to tell the others goodbye for me. I know you won't agree with what I'm doing but I feel like it's the right thing. I've tried to make up for my mistakes, but I'm not sure redemption is something that's truly possible. At least not here. So... I'm going to make a life in the other world. I'm going to be a brother to my brother... a son to my dad. And I'm going to tell Emilia, "Yes, we'll work on this." I'll cherish life and overcome my trauma and be the good man there that I was never be able to be here. Don't be bummed. I love you all, even Harcourt after all that fucked-up, cunty bullshit she did. But I don't belong here. I think that if you and Harcourt and Economos turn this alien-dimensional-canister thing over to A.R.G.U.S., you'll be in their good graces enough to all get promoted. Then...everyone will be happy. Love, Chris and Eagly."
-- Chris Smith's letter to Leota Adebayo, Peacemaker -- "Back to the Suture"

Hello again, everyone! DJ Nik and I are back for another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast! This time, we discuss "Back to the Suture", the fifth episode of Peacemaker Season 2, featuring John Cena as Peacemaker/Chris Smith, Jennifer Holland as Emilia Harcourt, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., and Nhut Le as Judomaster/Rip Jagger!

In this episode, DJ Nik and I talk about things like the pronunciation of Sassuolo, trying to figure out what "Back to the Suture" refers to in the episode, wondering if James Gunn didn't have enough plot ideas to fill all eight episodes this season, the DCU not requiring you to watch everything to understand what's going on like the MCU, celebrating Batman Day, the flashback to the funeral of Rick Flag Jr., the Enchantress not being into an open relationship, the recurring gag of Rick Flag Sr. telling Harcourt to call him "Rick", Chris moving across Kupperberg Park by using various human shields, Chris risking his freedom to get confirmation that Harcourt isn't into him, Sasha Bordeaux being revealed as a cyborg and whether she'll be revealed as an O.M.A.C., Harcourt begging John Economos to book Chris in official records to save his life, Red St. Wild acting like Wile E. Coyote trying to kill the Road Runner, James Gunn's weird trope of violence towards animals, Eagly being confirmed as the Primal Eagle, Chris taking the beating from Rick Flag Sr. without fighting back, Rick Flag Sr. trying to convince Sasha Bordeaux he has a much bigger plan for Peacemaker than simple revenge, Langston Fleury learning to take Judomaster seriously, more speculation on Earth-X, Judomaster leaving Cheeto dust on Chris' letter, Adebayo having to console Adrian, Harcourt telling the 11th Street Kids they're going to the parallel Earth to get Chris back, Adrian having to point out to Adebayo that she was just solicited for prostitution, our favorite quotes of the episode, cats bearing a grudge if you don't mention them on your Christmas cards, Nik watching Darkman II: The Return of Durant, Xan Sprouse and I watching The Thing (1982) on Drunk Cinema, the universe caring for Nik, and more!
