Seth and Victor do a deep dive into the HBO 2019 series, Watchmen. The loose sequel to the seminal 1985 Graphic Novel was created by Damon Lindelof.
In the episode, the guys discuss the background of this series, and whether knowledge of the back story matters to a viewer. The first few minutes also feature comments from Zack Snyder from his appearance on Episode 28 of the Hall of Justice, where he comments on the 2009 Watchmen film he directed.
Then, they get into the stories episode by episode. They discuss the huge racial content, and how the reaction could be different depending on a viewers race.
The guys get through the first five episodes before ending the episode. Next week will cover episodes 6 thru 9.
