Watchmen (2009)

Bald Move
About this episode

Special thanks to two time Commissioner Andrew Mount for tasking us with the pleasure of watching Watchmen, a 2009 Zack Snyder adaptation of the classic comic book series by Alan Moore. We both love the movie, and talk about our experiences with the comic and the movie, the metaphysical realities of being Doctor Manhattan, the philosophy of the Watchmen's world view, and of course, giant glowing blue dongs.

Again, thank you very much Andrew.
