Two men watching HBO's Watchmen

Chateau Baby Yoda
We're back to discuss Picard (S1E1-E3), influenced at least by partialy absorption of the Mandalorian. Sagas vs. genres, split protagonists vs. ensembles, and life under the Sonny Bono Act (Pub. L. 105-298).

Nothing ever ends
We start our show with reflections on how we found Watchmen and how it found us, reflections on influence, and anticipation.

Brechtian Summer
We walk through Watchmen S1E1, "It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice." Brechtian storytelling, not asking Robert Redford's permission, and Don Johnson's triumphant return to on-screen cocaine use. Were your thighs chafed?

Oh, I Didn't Mean Literally
T.S. Eliot, the Kaiser's propaganda, and a magnet. It wouldn't be Watchmen, or Lindelof, without extended flashbacks.

Jeff Koons
Watchmen S1E3, "She Was Killed by Space Junk." The official least interesting part is junk. Phone booths, Brecht and jokes, Midwestern crypts. Who's the ward of the game warden?

Lucifer: Men in Tights
Watchmen S1E4, ""If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own." A Superman remix, a Paradise Lost remix, an A-Team remix, and so of course, plenty of lube.
