Episode 214: ‘Peacemaker’ choreographer Charissa Barton

Charissa Barton is responsible for choreographing one of the most universally beloved opening credits sequences of all time: that of Peacemaker on HBO Max. Newsweek described it as “[probably] the most memorable opening credits sequence of any superhero show in recent years.” The Hollywood Reporter went even further, calling it “one of the greatest opening credits in TV history.” In the sequence, characters like Peacemaker (John Cena), Vigilante (Freddie Stroma), Harcourt (Jennifer Holland), and Adebayo (Danielle Brooks) perform their slammin’ robot-like dance moves to Wig Wam’s 2010 rock-metal track “Do You Wanna Taste It,” their expressions intensely stoic. Comedian Patton Oswalt echoed millions of fans when he tweeted, “Has ANYONE ever used the ‘skip intro' option in @DCpeacemaker? ‘Cuz I never will.” In this special episode, we meet the dynamic artist behind those iconic moves.
