2.02. "ΔΑΡΚΣΕΙΔΟΣ" Should Be In Linear A
Menwatch
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.

2.01. Chateau Baby Yoda
Menwatch
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).

10. Enter Sandman
Menwatch
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.

9. "Millennium" Is a Callback, Guys
Menwatch
Part one of our two-part season, or series, finale. Lady Luthors, more Roland Barthes, complaints and rationalizations about loose ends.
info_outline
8. Überdetermined
Menwatch
Watchmen S1E8, "A God Walks into Abar." 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]
info_outline
7. Cheeto Fork
Menwatch
Watchmen S1E7, "An Almost Religious Awe." Crowdsourcing as pragmatism, secret secret identities, and our forthcoming monograph on eating with masks.
info_outline
6. New Frontiers
Menwatch
Watchmen S1E6, "This Extraordinary Being." The show that puts the pain in nostalgia. Retcons, black Supermen, and the discomfort of empathy.
info_outline
5. With a Jersey Girl
Menwatch
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.
info_outline
4. Lucifer: Men in Tights
Menwatch
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.
info_outline
3. Jeff Koons
Menwatch
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?
info_outlineWe start our show with reflections on how we found Watchmen and how it found us, reflections on influence, and anticipation.
