    I really like your podcast. I have a question. Can the clone of Superman from the movie enter my adventures with Superman universe. Can you do a breakdown of a show? I can’t wait for the new Supergirl movie. And my favourite comic. Is the Batman who laughs?

  • Almost good

    The main people know practically nothing about comics, only the James Gunn and other episodes are worth listening in on. Hosts could stand to be more educated.

  • Love some episodes, but not all

    Really enjoy the episodes with the cast talking behind the scenes (ie james Gunn, Agee, Holland, etc). Hearing them talk about making the show is so entertaining and fun. Their passion for this show and their characters really shines through. The problem are the other hosts. I tried to listen to the podcasts on peacemaker with the other non cast hosts and couldn’t make it through one episode. They just don’t have the same charm, experiential knowledge or voices to make a podcast engaging

  • End of Season Thoughts

    I wanted to wait until Peacemaker S2 wrapped up to write a review, only to find that the podcast itself was wrapping up until 2026.

    Frankey, thank you for being *fantastic* in each episode and holding firm on your mind’s eye version of farm life LOL Your insistence on highlighting lesser heard voices was appreciated 🙋🏻‍♂️

    Tyler, your endeavors to gain as much comic knowledge as you could, along with adding movie/tv history and facts, added a voice of eager willingness to the proceedings. Much... more

  • Half great

    Brilliant when James Gunn and co. are hosting - unlistenable when the other group is hosting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lanterns: The Official Podcast | Ep. 8 "Dirt and Stars" | Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, Tom King, Shea Pritchard, & Ulrich Thomsen
Q: How did Noah and John's relationship and parallel origins inform the finale?
Their origins underscore a shared struggle with programming and control, and the car scene resolves their misunderstandings through mutual understanding rather than a straightforward confrontation.
Lanterns: The Official Podcast | Ep. 8 "Dirt and Stars" | Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, Tom King, Shea Pritchard, & Ulrich Thomsen
Q: What was the choice in ending this season the way you did with John Stewart accepting the ring?
The creators wanted an emotional landing that centers John's growth and his readiness to bear the responsibility, while leaving room for future, quieter storytelling instead of a pure action finale.
Bobby Moynihan on Man-Bat, The Penguin, & Collecting
Q: What was the idea to give Man-Bat a more chaotic, neighborly energy?
The idea was to explore a version of Batman-related characters that is eccentric and a little off-kilter, making Man-Bat feel like a strange, funny, but still grounded figure. The goal was to surprise audiences with humor layered onto a classic DC creature while preserving core Batman-esque vibes.
Lanterns: The Official Podcast | Ep. 4 "The Weenie" | Breannah Gibson, Garret Dillahunt, & Poorna Jagannathan
Q: How did Zoe's reveal as a manhunter reframe the audience's understanding of the antagonists and the Guardians?
Poorna Jagannathan describes Zoe's reveal as a game-changer that forces recontextualization of the Manhunters, guardians, and the entire power dynamic, highlighting how manipulation and loyalty intersect in this DCU arc.
Lanterns: The Official Podcast | Ep. 4 "The Weenie" | Breannah Gibson, Garret Dillahunt, & Poorna Jagannathan
Q: What was the intention behind introducing Sinestro as Hal's mentor figure, and how did that shape the off-world sequences?
Breannah Gibson explains that Sinestro's mentorship adds a complex layer to Hal and John's relationship, mirroring a modern mentor-mentee dynamic and giving the off-world scenes emotional gravity tied to past allegiances.
