“I am a big fan of the production and organized approach this podcast offers. There is a mountain of interesting discussion about the relatively undiscovered comic series “Watchmen.” All of the Main hosts and write-in contributors offer great insight into this alternate universe built by Marvel studios. HBO’s adaptation of the graphic novel is a densely compacted series rife with analogies and draws on a unique history of pre-existing canon. Without this podcast’s dutiful asides and explanations, I would be at a loss for the visual masterpiece that Lindelhof has presented in late 2019.
What is perhaps modern TV’s most poignant epic series available, Watchmen, uses a comic narrative adaption to comment on present day society and the dangers of inoculation and desensitization to violence perpetrated by an ambiguous race war in America. This podcast does so much that is right in highlighting nuance and criticism on Lindelhof’s all but perfect adaptation of a voluminous comic history.
In the late half of this podcast, the hosts’ Watchmen discussions suffer when King Bee delivers rather shallow and unwarranted commentary that resides in disgust and malformed subjective terror defines his tone and resignation towards Lindelhof’s series. His discrediting tone lends the listener an unnecessarily curt and dishonest representation of the full context that HBO’s the Watchmen series can fulfill.
The other main hosts of this show do well and good to move ahead throughout their podcasts/episodes despite unhelpful negativity coming from disaffected listeners. This rather democratic approach to podcast fan discussions has its merits, but I believe some of the inherent negative consequences of live feedback have drained commentator, King Bee of his effective resolve to deliver inspired commentary that supports the aims of this podcast.
That being said, opinion is the essence of podcast history, and I will not cease to follow this team because of one or two miscalculated episodes. In fact the miscalculations make this podcast more enjoyable and reinforce my own self-critical writing process because the spirit of dynamic discussion owes nothing to objectivity, especially if we are all here to talk about the story of a comic book adaptation by HBO.
I learned a lot and this podcast echoes my own emerging questions and assumptions to varying degrees of success, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I use this podcast against the official HBO podcast to explore the vast Watchmen universe without an HBO-curated lens.”

“It was a good podcast even though I don’t agree with the cop hate and some of the other extracurricular discussion. Edited for accuracy.”

“Glad I finally found you guys on the watchmen recap and the deep dive, I’ve heard your other podcast before leaving the content, now I can agree with homeboy’s observation of captain Manhattan being part of that whole Racist Colt thing, but I think it goes a step further he gave me the same vibe...”Read full review »

“Just wanted to say how much I love this podcast and the work put in by its makers. To take time out of their lives to put out free content like this is amazing and truly something to be appreciated. I wanted to respond to the very few negative criticisms, but in the spirit of the holidays I only...”Read full review »
