WATCHMEN Episode 1

It's a whole new era! Marvelvision is gone! In its place - Across the Omniverse. To be honest it's pretty much the same thing, but we felt like it was time for a rebrand that would allow us to open up the boundaries of what we talk about on this show. Don't worry, it's the same bickering brothers you've tolerated all these years. This week begins a series where we do a rewatch of HBO's 2019 Watchmen, which might be the most important genre work of the 21st century. Learn the connection of Bass Reeves to the Lone Ranger! Hear the tragic story of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Enjoy the arguing about whether or not superheroes are intrinsically fascist! Dive deep into the meaning and mythology of this first episode.We are trying to be as spoiler free as possible, just in case you're watching for the first time. There will be some spoilers and there will be some roundabout discussion that could make things obvious, but this show is so good we don't want to ruin for anybody so we'll do our best. We'll see you again next week for the next chapter in this masterpiece of television storytelling. Thanks for listening!
