Comics Radar 049 – Obligatory Watchmen Episode

After a futile battle between my secondary computer and talkshoe, we unfortunately had to give up on trying for a live episode in March.
But Ben from the Dork In Your Eye podcast stayed up until 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning (I’m terrible at timezones) to talk with us. So, Ben joined Matt and I to talk about the Watchmen film.

I kept it short, only 40 mins.

Towards the end, I mention a horrible right wing screed by Debbie Schlussel.
Here’s the first couple sentences:

If you take your kids to see “Watchmen,” you’re a moron.

If you see it yourself, you’re also probably a moron and a vapid, indecent human being.

To be fair, I agree with the first sentence. It goes downhill from there. And the comic fan response? not much better, to be honest.

Let me know what you think of it. Think it gives a little different feel to the podcast.
