Ep 199: Watchmen

It's time to review one of our most requested movies since we started the show... Watchmen! The film that helped put Zack Snyder on the map and got him the DC films to come, Watchmen is a non-traditional super hero movie in many respects but it is oh so deep and nuanced with nerdy discussions to be had. We also review the Ultimate Edition which adds so much more to the movie. Helping us with this meaty film is our great friend of the show Eric Blattberg! Before we jump into the film we also break down our top 5 Director Cuts of all time. It's a long movie so it's a long show. So grab your masks, put on some Bob Dylan, and don't forget... everything's a joke... it's time for Watchmen on The Movie Defenders podcast!
