So, the 2nd season of Peacemaker has started airing, and BVK has convinced Hayley to watch Season One, read a comic, Disturbing the Peace from 2022, then chat a bit about it as a primer. Which is what happened... sort of. The Peacemaker discussion eventually happens after the recap from D23, why doesn't Disney make 2D animated movies anymore, and some other "golden morsels"!  Join in on the fun, or Eagly may have to peck your eyes ...
