Episoder

Menwatch's AT&T's Zach Snyder's Justice League. We learn that nothing ever ends, again, the hard way.
Note: You didn't miss one - we just never finished talking about Picard. We think you know what we would have said. -
We're back to discuss Picard (S1E1-E3), influenced at least by partialy absorption of the Mandalorian. Sagas vs. genres, split protagonists vs. ensembles, and life under the Sonny Bono Act (Pub. L. 105-298).

Manglende episoder?
-
Reader mailbag and season finale. Anxious influence; the wisdom but lesser narrative cohesion of crowds; writing to impress a girl. Stay in touch @menwatchpod as we back up to the elephant for a while.
-
Part one of our two-part season, or series, finale. Lady Luthors, more Roland Barthes, complaints and rationalizations about loose ends.
Please send thoughts and questions by 1/2 to be included in our reader mailbag wrap-up: @menwatchpod or [email protected]
-
The apotheosis of Lindelof; biblical exegesis; crystalline space-time and serial monogamy. [REPOST - if you downloaded before and got a repeat of episode 0, this is the real one]
-
Crowdsourcing as pragmatism, secret secret identities, and our forthcoming monograph on eating with masks.
-
The show that puts the pain in nostalgia. Retcons, black Supermen, and the discomfort of empathy.
-
Watchmen S1E5, "Little Fear of Lightning." Squid science and origin stories; the universal and the particular; God's away on business; seas of bodies as message and as medium.
-
Watchmen S1E4, ""If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own." A Superman remix, a Paradise Lost remix, an A-Team remix, and so of course, plenty of lube.
-
Watchmen S1E3, "She Was Killed by Space Junk." The official least interesting part is junk. Phone booths, Brecht and jokes, Midwestern crypts. Who's the ward of the game warden?
-
T.S. Eliot, the Kaiser's propaganda, and a magnet. It wouldn't be Watchmen, or Lindelof, without extended flashbacks.
-
We walk through Watchmen S1E1, "It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice." Brechtian storytelling, not asking Robert Redford's permission, and Don Johnson's triumphant return to on-screen cocaine use. Were your thighs chafed?
-
We start our show with reflections on how we found Watchmen and how it found us, reflections on influence, and anticipation.
