Episode #7 – Watchmen (2009)
Zack Snyder’s Watchmen is one of the most controversial superhero films ever made, and in light of how much we’re enjoying Daimon Lindelof’s Watchmen TV series on HBO, this episode we decided to look back at Snyder’s adaptation. Perry goes in-depth into the ways Snyder misunderstood Moore and Gibbons’ classic, while Derrick offers a more sympathetic view of the film. Where do you stand?
