First, we have an interview with songwriting duo Jenna Andrews and Stephen Kirk, the writers behind “Free” and “What It Sounds Like.” Jenna and Stephen share their inspiration and process behind the songs and how many different iterations they went through for the film’s climax. Then, stick around for a discussion about the staying power of KPDH, is it a sensation or an instant classic?

Peacemaker 206: Ignorance Is Chris

This episode had Beanie Babies, the Spider-Man meme, and Vigilante's mom, and those don't even come close to the exciting cameo in this episode! But most of all, we were right (Ian in particular)! The 11th Street Kids follow Peacemaker into the alternate universe, and Harcourt immediately clocks that SOMETHING is off, and it's not just that Mick Jagger is the lead singer of the Beatles. Also we are officially on Judomaster Watch!
