Show Notes
Episode 3 continues the team's dive down the rabbit hole of weighty themes found in the HBO Watchmen mini-series, this time tackling the politics of the story. And boy is there a lot to discuss. We didn't get to all of it, but Regina King's masked alter ego Sister Night is discussed (and the logic of masked cops in general), as well as police accountability, and the overall sentiment that this iteration of Watchmen was "too political." Also, we discuss Kurosawa's Throne of Blood briefly (what an ending to a movie!!!!!)
