Flame On :: Episode 281 :: Peacemaker Lights An Inferno

Posted by Bryan on January 28, 2022

Flame ON! is the all-gay, all-geek podcast. Tune in as we dish on the latest in pop and queer culture.

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a plane? Is it a UFO? Is it an eagle that’s carrying lighter fluid in one claw and a book of matches in the other?!? Wait, that can’t be right! You don’t need to have the gift of sight like Destiny to mimic the intro credits dance moves, just load up HBO Max and let Peacemaker make it all better!

The calendar page has flipped and the year number has increased, but the one thing you can rely on is your favorite podcasting mates are back for a brand new pop culture round up! The boys have cleaned up the glitter from the floor of their New Year’s parties, pulled a miraculous Peacemaker-style reovery from their hangovers, and they are ready to get down to business – spilling the tea on their favorite pop culture they’ve absorbed this month! The show kicks off with Erik sharing his thoughts on the Andrew Garfield film that took Netflix by storm – Tick Tick Boom. Showcasing the life of Rent creator Jonathon Larson, this film gives you all the feels and deserves all the awards. From there Bryan takes you to the halls of Archive 81, one of the newest hits from Netflix and shows that with the right theme, your podcast can also make for entertaining television! After leaving the archives, Pat switches streaming services and chats about the newest release from the twisted mind of James Gunn, the DCEU television show, Peacemaker! Does John Cena‘s character from The Suicide Squad find redemption, or do we just give him a pass for that fantastic ass? Listen in to find out! The final topic has BeeJay taking the boys to Krakoa for the final piece of Jonathan Hickman‘s Dawn of X storyline – Inferno! Did Mystique and Destiny burn it all to the ground? We’ll never tell (just kidding there’s lots of spoilers here)! To close out the show, the boys share their 1-UPs!
