FLITE BOX 0046: "Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 3: Another Rick Up My Sleeve"

FLITE BOX 0045: Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 2: A Man Is Only As Good As His Bird

My thoughts on why this week’s character-focused episode of Peacemaker was necessary before the multiversal ramp-up that’s about to happen for the rest of the season.
