On this episode of The Zach Snyder Cut Podcast, we dive into the complex world of Watchmen, a 2009 film adapted from the iconic graphic novel. Zack Snyder was cautioned on taking on this project as many considered the story impossible to adapt but ultimately a film was made and we view it as a part of our study of the directorial work of Snyder. Hosted by Zach Snyder, this podcast series chronologically examines the directed works of filmmaker Zack Snyder from zombies to superheroes to fantasy and everything in between. The show is produced and presented by Forever Classic Games, an independent, clutter-free games and geek culture media outlet.

Forever Classic Games was given the opportunity to cover Twin Cities Con 2023 as media and we were lucky enough to capture short interviews with all three actors from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the recently release hit on PlayStation 5.
