Episode 150: HBO's "Watchmen"
This week, Gavia and Morgan discuss Damon Lindelof's new television adaptation of Alan Moore's classic comic series Watchmen, starring Regina King, Jean Smart, and Tim Blake Nelson. They compare it to Lindelof's previous work, analyze its treatment of politics and race, and contemplate its place in the changing television and superhero landscapes.
