Zack Snyder's Watchmen: Ultimate Cut (2009)

from Afterthoughts · host Dixon, Ryan, and John

It's a day late to publish, but it was truly the greatest April Fools prank to ever be played on Dixon.What do you get when you take a groundbreaking comic series (DON'T SAY GRAPHIC NOVEL) and adapt it into a hyper-stylized, bloated, overly simplified late-aughts superhero film? You get Zack Snyder's Watchmen! What happens when John picks this film for his episode? You get quality Dixon rants, passionate Ryan critiques, and an abundance of John attempting to stifle his sadistic laughter all in an episode that somehow clocks in under the runtime of the theatrical version.
