00:04:18   kind of a long bus ride [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/258">TS</a>]

00:04:20   i wiii i was living in Northern Virginia [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/260">TS</a>]

00:04:50   you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/290">TS</a>]

00:04:51   well I was not a big comic book guy as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/291">TS</a>]

00:04:55   kid but I was I was fairly well-versed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/295">TS</a>]

00:04:57   in some stuff like amazing spider-man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/297">TS</a>]

00:04:59   and Fantastic Four [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/299">TS</a>]

00:05:02   issues and God help me Archie comics but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/302">TS</a>]

00:05:08   i remember back in 86 my nerdy friends [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/308">TS</a>]

00:05:11   were all talking about about watchmen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/311">TS</a>]

00:05:14   and how awesome this character mainly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/314">TS</a>]

00:05:15   this character Rorschach was and so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/315">TS</a>]

00:05:18   figured what the hell there was a comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/318">TS</a>]

00:05:20   book store just down the street from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/320">TS</a>]

00:05:21   school so I I i stopped in one day and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/321">TS</a>]

00:05:25   picked up issues 2 and 3 which were the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/325">TS</a>]

00:05:27   ones that were out at the time so I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/327">TS</a>]

00:05:29   in fact in on the ground floor or at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/329">TS</a>]

00:05:31   least you know halfway between right the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/331">TS</a>]

00:05:33   mezzanine you were in on the mezzanine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/333">TS</a>]

00:05:35   of watchmen yes message and that's right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/335">TS</a>]

00:05:37   we're stopped in for some bacon martinis [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/337">TS</a>]

00:05:40   before proceeding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/340">TS</a>]

00:05:41   yes anyway yeah so I picked up two and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/341">TS</a>]

00:05:44   three and and was enthralled and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/344">TS</a>]

00:05:46   unfortunately one issue one was already [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/346">TS</a>]

00:05:49   pretty much sold out everywhere though I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/349">TS</a>]

00:05:51   say everywhere but I really had no idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/351">TS</a>]

00:05:52   since there was no internet back in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/352">TS</a>]

00:05:55   those heady days and I so really had no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/355">TS</a>]

00:05:57   no means of knowing whether you could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/357">TS</a>]

00:05:59   find it anywhere else but I so I didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   get hold of that until several months [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/361">TS</a>]

00:06:03   later at which point it ended up costing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/363">TS</a>]

00:06:04   me something like nine box which was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/364">TS</a>]

00:06:06   unheard of at the time but I was pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/366">TS</a>]

00:06:10   jazzed to get it and and to this day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/370">TS</a>]

00:06:13   watchman is the the one and only thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/373">TS</a>]

00:06:15   well technically the only only 12 things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/375">TS</a>]

00:06:18   that i have ever bagged and boarded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/378">TS</a>]

00:06:21   wow that's so you were at your hook to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/381">TS</a>]

00:06:23   that point also got all the next issues [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/383">TS</a>]

00:06:25   is it as they came out i did and and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/385">TS</a>]

00:06:28   suffered along with you waiting for for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/388">TS</a>]

00:06:31   issue 12 at last issue oh man when we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/391">TS</a>]

00:06:34   went to delays before 11 or 10 as well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/394">TS</a>]

00:06:37   no I don't think so I I my recollection [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/397">TS</a>]

00:06:39   is that the and I actually at this point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/399">TS</a>]

00:06:41   i live in the town without a comic shop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/401">TS</a>]

00:06:43   so i actually got my comics mail order [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/403">TS</a>]

00:06:45   and i got them in a bundle once a month [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/405">TS</a>]

00:06:47   and there was a watchman in there every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/407">TS</a>]

00:06:49   month and then that last month with that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/409">TS</a>]

00:07:42   batman cartoon series and then take it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/462">TS</a>]

00:07:44   kind of a big break from comics in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/464">TS</a>]

00:07:46   good friend of mine who was basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/466">TS</a>]

00:07:48   majoring in comic-book curry great for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/468">TS</a>]

00:08:07   did i read it and basically one sitting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/487">TS</a>]

00:08:09   stayed up all night reading it and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/489">TS</a>]

00:08:11   basically kind of relaunch my interest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/491">TS</a>]

00:08:14   in comics it which is you know taking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/494">TS</a>]

00:08:16   over a large chunk of my life since then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/496">TS</a>]

00:08:18   at least a large chunk of my possessions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/498">TS</a>]

00:08:20   by weight i'm having just moved my comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/500">TS</a>]

00:08:23   collection and I went on from that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/503">TS</a>]

00:08:25   spent you know that was baby the start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/505">TS</a>]

00:08:28   of the summer and i spent basically all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/508">TS</a>]

00:08:29   my disposable income for the rest of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/509">TS</a>]

00:08:31   summer on an immense number of comics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/511">TS</a>]

00:08:33   that was all kind of kicked off by a by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/513">TS</a>]

00:08:35   reading watchmen being totally sucked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/515">TS</a>]

00:08:37   into it i like the idea of calculating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/517">TS</a>]

00:08:39   your worldly possessions by weight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/519">TS</a>]

00:08:42   well I just moved so what I know I know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/522">TS</a>]

00:08:44   that would be a logical but I just like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/524">TS</a>]

00:08:46   that idea of in general it's like yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/526">TS</a>]

00:08:48   you know that thing that I like that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/528">TS</a>]

00:08:51   it there's too much of it by weight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/531">TS</a>]

00:08:53   I mean I have you know I have a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/533">TS</a>]

00:08:54   board games and a lot of dvds but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/534">TS</a>]

00:08:56   compared to like one box comic books oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/536">TS</a>]

00:08:58   yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/538">TS</a>]

00:08:58   no they're heavy yeah yeah they're heavy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/538">TS</a>]

00:09:01   alright so you you discovered the trade [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/541">TS</a>]

00:09:02   paperback [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/542">TS</a>]

00:09:03   yeah I was you know I a younger age than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/543">TS</a>]

00:09:07   some people I guess it reintroduced you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/547">TS</a>]

00:09:09   to comics which is interesting because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/549">TS</a>]

00:09:10   for me and this is something about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/550">TS</a>]

00:09:13   about the the mid to late eighties [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/553">TS</a>]

00:09:15   comic-book scene and also and also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/555">TS</a>]

00:09:17   honestly something about being a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/557">TS</a>]

00:09:19   sixteen-year-old when it when reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/559">TS</a>]

00:09:21   this at 16 years old when your brain is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/561">TS</a>]

00:09:24   developing and you're seeing patterns [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/564">TS</a>]

00:09:25   and you you seen complexities that maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/565">TS</a>]

00:09:27   you didn't see before that i read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/567">TS</a>]

00:09:29   watchmen and thought well what's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/569">TS</a>]

00:09:31   point and stopped and actually cancelled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/571">TS</a>]

00:09:34   my comic book subscription for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/574">TS</a>]

00:09:35   little mail-order people and stopped [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/575">TS</a>]

00:09:37   reading comics for like 15 years because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/577">TS</a>]

00:09:39   all of the other comics seemed so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/579">TS</a>]

00:09:41   ridiculously i was already somewhat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/581">TS</a>]

00:09:43   disillusioned by the kind of soap opera [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/583">TS</a>]

00:09:45   plots of these ongoing comics and I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/585">TS</a>]

00:09:47   this thing that tells the complete story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/587">TS</a>]

00:09:49   and has all of these layers and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/589">TS</a>]

00:09:51   other comics I i just looked at them and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/591">TS</a>]

00:09:52   and and thought but you know I give up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/592">TS</a>]

00:09:56   and I and I literally stopped so it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/596">TS</a>]

00:09:58   started you on the path and it stopped [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/598">TS</a>]

00:10:00   me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/600">TS</a>]

00:10:01   watchmen there's a lot of symmetry in it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/601">TS</a>]

00:10:03   you know one person's beginning is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/603">TS</a>]

00:10:04   another person's and that is its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/604">TS</a>]

00:10:06   symmetry amazing so Ben we didn't get to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/606">TS</a>]

00:10:09   you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/609">TS</a>]

00:10:10   what was your entrée into the world of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/610">TS</a>]

00:10:12   watchmen very similar story to yours in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/612">TS</a>]

00:10:16   1986 bought the monthly and on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/616">TS</a>]

00:10:19   ground floor in fact somewhere in my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/619">TS</a>]

00:10:21   garage I think her or well somewhere i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/621">TS</a>]

00:10:24   have some promo posters of the series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/624">TS</a>]

00:10:28   invent them that came out before even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/628">TS</a>]

00:10:32   the the issues hit-the hit the stands [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/632">TS</a>]

00:10:34   and so yeah every every month [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/634">TS</a>]

00:10:38   well II every week because I was so into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/638">TS</a>]

00:10:40   comics at that time and i would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/640">TS</a>]

00:10:43   dutifully make the trip to fantasy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/643">TS</a>]

00:10:46   kingdom on olive avenue in burbank and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/646">TS</a>]

00:10:49   and so I still have you know i still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/649">TS</a>]

00:10:53   have the original series bagged and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/653">TS</a>]

00:10:55   boarded I've got a battered trade [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/655">TS</a>]

00:10:59   paperback somewhere and then whenever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/659">TS</a>]

00:11:02   the absolute edition came out my wife [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/662">TS</a>]

00:11:05   gave me that for for xmas that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/665">TS</a>]

00:11:07   particular year so it's a good gift [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/667">TS</a>]

00:11:09   so yeah that's great gift [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/669">TS</a>]

00:11:11   after i got to the dark knight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/671">TS</a>]

00:11:12   absolutely dark night saying the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/672">TS</a>]

00:11:14   year right and that was a big that was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/674">TS</a>]

00:11:16   big time for for comics so so when and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/676">TS</a>]

00:11:21   and it's interesting Tony as somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/681">TS</a>]

00:11:23   who's younger than the rest of us on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/683">TS</a>]

00:11:25   this panel a little bit little bit um [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/685">TS</a>]

00:11:27   Skoosh the just a little just a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/687">TS</a>]

00:11:29   just a couple more substantial amount [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/689">TS</a>]

00:11:31   like a decade snapper he's got damn kids [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/691">TS</a>]

00:11:35   the 1i want to talk about being sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/695">TS</a>]

00:11:38   disillusioned and why I'm interested in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/698">TS</a>]

00:11:40   that symmetry as you point out I i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/700">TS</a>]

00:11:43   when some people i was talking to some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/703">TS</a>]

00:11:45   people about watchmen and and I think we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/705">TS</a>]

00:11:47   even had a conversation on our our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/707">TS</a>]

00:11:48   little mailing list about this that from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/708">TS</a>]

00:11:50   the perspective of today I think people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/710">TS</a>]

00:11:53   who haven't been exposed to watch men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/713">TS</a>]

00:11:55   there there's a possibility that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/715">TS</a>]

00:11:56   look at it and they say I don't get what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/716">TS</a>]

00:11:59   it what it's what the big deal is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/719">TS</a>]

00:12:01   well I've had that conversation with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/721">TS</a>]

00:12:02   people right and i think that I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/722">TS</a>]

00:12:06   totally see that it's interesting I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/726">TS</a>]

00:12:08   I think it's a great work that still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/728">TS</a>]

00:12:11   works really well but if you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/731">TS</a>]

00:12:13   especially well versed in in comics or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/733">TS</a>]

00:12:15   even if you've just seen a lot of comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/735">TS</a>]

00:12:17   book themed movies now you this is one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/737">TS</a>]

00:12:20   of those great examples of you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/740">TS</a>]

00:12:22   after something is so influential that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/742">TS</a>]

00:12:24   everybody everything that's done after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/744">TS</a>]

00:12:26   it is like it it doesn't seem that big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/746">TS</a>]

00:12:28   deal unless you when you look at it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/748">TS</a>]

00:12:30   unless you realize that it was sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/750">TS</a>]

00:12:31   the first or one of the first to do what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/751">TS</a>]

00:12:34   it did as as a comic book reader in 1986 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/754">TS</a>]

00:12:37   in 1987 I looked at it and my reaction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/757">TS</a>]

00:12:40   literally was what's the point of all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/760">TS</a>]

00:12:42   these other comic books because they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/762">TS</a>]

00:12:44   so they just they pale in comparison and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/764">TS</a>]

00:12:47   today's comics you know there's still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/767">TS</a>]

00:12:50   lots of bad comics and lots of good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/770">TS</a>]

00:12:51   comics but one thing that I will say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/771">TS</a>]

00:12:53   because i have started reading comics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/773">TS</a>]

00:12:55   again in the last few years is they they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/775">TS</a>]

00:12:58   don't the things that watchman taught me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/778">TS</a>]

00:13:01   were awful about all the other comics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/781">TS</a>]

00:13:03   that stuff has been corrected in many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/783">TS</a>]

00:13:06   places in many ways because of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/786">TS</a>]

00:13:09   influence of watchmen so I actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/789">TS</a>]

00:13:10   think that is over over time and ended [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/790">TS</a>]

00:13:13   up having a positive impact but at that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/793">TS</a>]

00:13:15   point it was so good that I felt like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/795">TS</a>]

00:13:17   you know drop the mic and walk away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/797">TS</a>]

00:13:19   it's just like you know butBut comics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/799">TS</a>]

00:13:21   have have a watchman has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/801">TS</a>]

00:13:23   influential so i can understand how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/803">TS</a>]

00:15:21   unfolding in both directions on the page [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/921">TS</a>]

00:15:23   this end and it amplifies the point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/923">TS</a>]

00:15:26   they're trying to make in the narrative [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/926">TS</a>]

00:15:27   and this happens repeatedly through the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/927">TS</a>]

00:15:29   whole the whole text where all the all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/929">TS</a>]

00:15:32   they do is is when they say something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/932">TS</a>]

00:15:34   the images in the composition repeatedly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/934">TS</a>]

00:15:36   under [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/936">TS</a>]

00:15:36   in it and you just get this magnificent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/936">TS</a>]

00:15:38   feedback loop and it's something i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/938">TS</a>]

00:15:39   didn't really fully appreciate until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/939">TS</a>]

00:15:41   after i read understanding comics and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/941">TS</a>]

00:15:43   began to understand that everything from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/943">TS</a>]

00:15:45   gutter size to panel size affects the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/945">TS</a>]

00:15:48   sentences that are going captions are or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/948">TS</a>]

00:15:51   coming up people's mouths [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/951">TS</a>]

00:15:52   now one of the one of the things about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/952">TS</a>]

00:15:53   watchmen that i love is that it does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/953">TS</a>]

00:15:55   bear scrutiny and you can reread it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/955">TS</a>]

00:15:57   every time I read it I noticed something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/957">TS</a>]

00:16:00   i didn't use before every single time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/960">TS</a>]

00:16:03   and that me just because I'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/963">TS</a>]

00:16:04   particularly perceptive as a human being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/964">TS</a>]

00:16:06   but be that as it may I think there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/966">TS</a>]

00:16:09   lot there one thing pops out and and one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/969">TS</a>]

00:16:12   of the things is you can appreciate the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/972">TS</a>]

00:16:13   plot and you can appreciate the twist of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/973">TS</a>]

00:16:16   the plot and the interesting take on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/976">TS</a>]

00:16:18   superhero archetypes right but below [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/978">TS</a>]

00:16:22   that level there's like there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/982">TS</a>]

00:16:23   fearful symmetry issue where all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/983">TS</a>]

00:16:25   panel's front back back to front are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/985">TS</a>]

00:16:27   actually symmetric and in their layout [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/987">TS</a>]

00:16:29   and there's a spread in the center which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/989">TS</a>]

00:16:31   is just I mean super comic-book nerdy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/991">TS</a>]

00:16:33   and yet it's it's amazing and I'm just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/993">TS</a>]

00:16:36   the way that the panel's these grid the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/996">TS</a>]

00:16:37   grid layout that's used the way the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/997">TS</a>]

00:16:39   that works toward com is doing what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/999">TS</a>]

00:16:43   they're calling the great Alan Moore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1003">TS</a>]

00:16:44   reread and they posted as of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1004">TS</a>]

00:16:47   recording a couple of of parts of their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1007">TS</a>]

00:16:49   I think they're going to four-part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1009">TS</a>]

00:16:51   watchman as a part of this may they did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1011">TS</a>]

00:16:53   the anatomy lesson in the the whole run [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1013">TS</a>]

00:16:54   of swamp thing and they did miracle man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1014">TS</a>]

00:16:57   and they're going through basically the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1017">TS</a>]

00:16:58   can in a valid more every week on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1018">TS</a>]

00:16:59   tor.com and something that struck me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:02   about what they wrote about watchmen is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:04   they talked about the density of it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1024">TS</a>]

00:17:07   they said that they counted in one issue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1027">TS</a>]

00:17:10   a hundred and ninety six panels of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1030">TS</a>]

00:17:13   watchmen and no issue one there are a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:14   hundred ninety six panels and an average [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1034">TS</a>]

00:17:17   issue of a comic book from 2012 70 so so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:22   the complete the compression the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1042">TS</a>]

00:17:26   sheer density of the watchman is also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1046">TS</a>]

00:17:29   amazing and kind of mind-blowing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1049">TS</a>]

00:17:32   compared to today [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1052">TS</a>]

00:17:33   so you've got all these elements right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1053">TS</a>]

00:17:34   you that you notice when you read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1054">TS</a>]

00:17:36   that it's not just the characters and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1056">TS</a>]

00:17:37   applaud but everytime there are the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:39   details that the dave gibbons the leaves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1059">TS</a>]

00:17:41   everywhere would likely behind at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:44   very corner of some small panel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1064">TS</a>]

00:17:46   somewhere there is a detail that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1066">TS</a>]

00:17:48   relevant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1068">TS</a>]

00:17:48   it's a maze [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1068">TS</a>]

00:17:49   I i write it and so so just you can go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:53   as deep down into the nerdiness as as as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:57   you want and you will find stuff and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1077">TS</a>]

00:17:59   that that's actually one of the things I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1079">TS</a>]

00:18:00   love about it is that this isn't just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:01   like a story that they told it's al [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1081">TS</a>]

00:18:04   whole world that's been invented and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1084">TS</a>]

00:18:06   infusing like every corner of every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1086">TS</a>]

00:18:08   panel right that was one of the things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:09   that I I most loved about watchmen to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1089">TS</a>]

00:18:11   reading it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1091">TS</a>]

00:18:12   one issue at a time was that each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1092">TS</a>]

00:18:16   26-page or so issue took like five days [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:20   to really redo for me because I sit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1100">TS</a>]

00:18:23   there and I did examine every single [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:25   panel looking for the recurring motifs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:26   and we have triangles and the clocks and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1106">TS</a>]

00:18:28   watches and then you know I go back and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1108">TS</a>]

00:18:31   read you know issues when I got issue 4 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1111">TS</a>]

00:18:34   5 and go back and read one through three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1114">TS</a>]

00:18:36   again yeah pour over the same amount of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1116">TS</a>]

00:18:38   time trying to find new new linkages [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1118">TS</a>]

00:18:40   between the motifs in the and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1120">TS</a>]

00:18:43   try to find clues to the to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1123">TS</a>]

00:18:45   overriding story I did that almost every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1125">TS</a>]

00:18:47   time you know you get issue 2 and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1127">TS</a>]

00:18:49   wanted to you could issue 3 and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1129">TS</a>]

00:18:50   wanted two and three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1130">TS</a>]

00:18:52   that was the great the great advantage [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1132">TS</a>]

00:18:54   yeah i mean it really it highlights [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1134">TS</a>]

00:18:56   especially reading up that the trade [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1136">TS</a>]

00:18:58   paperback over the weekend it really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1138">TS</a>]

00:19:01   highlights how much you lose by not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1141">TS</a>]

00:19:03   having that one month to sort of stew [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1143">TS</a>]

00:19:05   over you know what happened in the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1145">TS</a>]

00:19:08   issue because it was such sweet agony to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1148">TS</a>]

00:19:12   go over and over the the issue and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1152">TS</a>]

00:19:15   trying to figure out what was going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1155">TS</a>]

00:19:17   and anticipate what was coming in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1157">TS</a>]

00:19:19   next month or two months I imagine it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1159">TS</a>]

00:19:22   like people who read Dickens see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1162">TS</a>]

00:19:24   realized in the newspaper when it came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1164">TS</a>]

00:19:26   out that Dickens you know Dickens novels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1166">TS</a>]

00:19:29   were meant to be cliffhanger dan they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1169">TS</a>]

00:19:31   were really more like what we would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1171">TS</a>]

00:19:32   think of almost like a TV show today [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1172">TS</a>]

00:19:34   where they would be an installment and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1174">TS</a>]

00:19:35   then there'd be a cliffhanger and you'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1175">TS</a>]

00:19:36   have to think about it this is why you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:38   should never read them as living in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1178">TS</a>]

00:19:39   little literature class the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:41   they're typically taught you should you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1181">TS</a>]

00:19:42   stretch them out this and and this is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1182">TS</a>]

00:19:45   mean I always thought about Dickens when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1185">TS</a>]

00:19:46   I was watching lost because i thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1186">TS</a>]

00:19:48   you know lost heads had its faults but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1188">TS</a>]

00:19:49   but i think that they got beaten up for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1189">TS</a>]

00:19:52   frustrating the the viewer but that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1192">TS</a>]

00:19:56   what it was all about is there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1196">TS</a>]

00:19:57   chapter break and then you have to wait [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1197">TS</a>]

00:19:59   a week and in a book or our DVD set on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1199">TS</a>]

00:20:01   you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1201">TS</a>]

00:20:05   you can just go at your own pace and a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1205">TS</a>]

00:20:06   TV show by installment you can't and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1206">TS</a>]

00:20:09   Dickens novel in the newspaper you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1209">TS</a>]

00:20:11   couldn't and watch men there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1211">TS</a>]

00:20:13   something to be said that watchman was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1213">TS</a>]

00:20:14   not built as a book it was built as 12 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1214">TS</a>]

00:20:16   discrete elements with time separating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1216">TS</a>]

00:20:19   them so you can actually consider what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1219">TS</a>]

00:20:21   you just saw that said it does hang is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1221">TS</a>]

00:20:23   book which is more than you can say for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1223">TS</a>]

00:20:25   a lot of trades when a serious is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1225">TS</a>]

00:20:27   collected in narrative arcs i mean this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1227">TS</a>]

00:20:29   this works on two different levels where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1229">TS</a>]

00:20:31   I would have liked to have had the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1231">TS</a>]

00:20:33   chance to read it issue by issue but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1233">TS</a>]

00:20:35   having had a completely different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1235">TS</a>]

00:20:36   experience from you guys and having read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1236">TS</a>]

00:20:38   it in one big gulp and then reread it in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1238">TS</a>]

00:20:41   one big gulp what sounds like you had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:43   enough time on this trip you could have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1243">TS</a>]

00:20:45   taken a week between each and each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1245">TS</a>]

00:20:46   chapter i had to write my position [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1246">TS</a>]

00:20:48   papers for first committee Syria to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1248">TS</a>]

00:20:50   disarm it very seriously but it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1250">TS</a>]

00:20:56   it does also hang together as a book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1256">TS</a>]

00:20:57   especially with the interstitials [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1257">TS</a>]

00:20:59   because the interstitials add some depth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:00   to the bat and the back matter helps a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1260">TS</a>]

00:21:02   lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1262">TS</a>]

00:21:03   yeah that yeah the back matter not only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1263">TS</a>]

00:21:05   is it great on its own but it is a break [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1265">TS</a>]

00:21:07   between the chapters and a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1267">TS</a>]

00:21:09   comic-book collections [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1269">TS</a>]

00:21:11   you know you could you could almost in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1271">TS</a>]

00:21:13   fact some cases I think they do you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1273">TS</a>]

00:21:14   just drop out the brakes and it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1274">TS</a>]

00:21:16   one story and it may even be plotted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:18   that way watch men there isn't there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1278">TS</a>]

00:21:20   a time to reflect when you're reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1280">TS</a>]

00:21:21   through you know these book excerpts and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1281">TS</a>]

00:21:24   files and other crazy stuff that's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1284">TS</a>]

00:21:27   again filling in the backs this rich [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:30   backstory of this world you wouldn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1290">TS</a>]

00:21:31   know as much about Adrian Veidt without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1291">TS</a>]

00:21:33   it right even with the back matter you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1293">TS</a>]

00:21:36   couldn't get rid of you can get you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:37   couldn't eliminate that completely and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1297">TS</a>]

00:21:40   watchmen because you would miss out on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1300">TS</a>]

00:21:41   the on the covers which are just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:42   fantastic and panels in their own right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1302">TS</a>]

00:21:44   and of course the the gradually dripping [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:47   blood onto the clock on the back which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:48   is rife with symbolism as well so they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1308">TS</a>]

00:21:51   couldn't really eliminate it altogether [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1311">TS</a>]

00:21:52   no matter what right knows and that's I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1312">TS</a>]

00:21:55   mean they did keep those so when you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1315">TS</a>]

00:21:57   through the trade they've got them but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1317">TS</a>]

00:22:00   it was that was it was a whole package [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1320">TS</a>]

00:22:02   it was quite a thing to read it any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1322">TS</a>]

00:22:03   issue by issue format [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1323">TS</a>]

00:22:05   no doubt about it so so I'm i think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1325">TS</a>]

00:22:08   somebody touched on this earlier it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1328">TS</a>]

00:22:10   interesting that the most popular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1330">TS</a>]

00:22:12   character in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1332">TS</a>]

00:22:13   and in some ways the most conventional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1333">TS</a>]

00:22:15   and heroic in a in that he's a crime [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1335">TS</a>]

00:22:19   fighter and he's actually trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1339">TS</a>]

00:22:21   solve the murder that caps off this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1341">TS</a>]

00:22:23   story is a completely insane person is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1343">TS</a>]

00:22:28   psychopath and he's not only popular but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1348">TS</a>]

00:22:30   right he's actually kind of the one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1350">TS</a>]

00:22:31   who's being a hero and the only reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1351">TS</a>]

00:22:34   he's still a hero is because he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1354">TS</a>]

00:22:35   lunatic which is interesting you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1355">TS</a>]

00:22:38   you guys have thoughts about about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1358">TS</a>]

00:22:40   Rorschach other than that he is crazy I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1360">TS</a>]

00:22:43   guess I I don't have any friends that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1363">TS</a>]

00:22:44   would describe him is really cool but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1364">TS</a>]

00:22:47   I'm a traveling the wrong crowd to know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1367">TS</a>]

00:22:48   that you're the right crowd but he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1368">TS</a>]

00:22:50   popular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1370">TS</a>]

00:22:51   it makes an easy halloween costume not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1371">TS</a>]

00:22:53   that hard to draw either if you can draw [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:54   a hat your comfort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1374">TS</a>]

00:22:56   so this is a commentary on on comic book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1376">TS</a>]

00:22:58   superheroes that on one level that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1378">TS</a>]

00:23:00   really what this is about is sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1380">TS</a>]

00:23:02   like trade try to place a comic book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1382">TS</a>]

00:23:04   superhero ideas in the real world and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1384">TS</a>]

00:23:06   you've got are you got Rorschach who is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1386">TS</a>]

00:23:08   who is crazy and really didn't become an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1388">TS</a>]

00:23:10   effective superhero until he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1390">TS</a>]

00:23:12   completely crazy and we see why he is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1392">TS</a>]

00:23:14   that way and you've got the the creation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1394">TS</a>]

00:23:17   of the Minutemen and this attempt to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1397">TS</a>]

00:23:19   create the the crime you basically could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1399">TS</a>]

00:23:21   crimebusters that fails miserably and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1401">TS</a>]

00:23:25   they print and the comedian burns up the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1405">TS</a>]

00:23:27   map and and that the superheroes are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1407">TS</a>]

00:23:29   outlawed and I mean that's one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1409">TS</a>]

00:23:30   interesting things about this is that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:32   that this is taking the shot genre that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1412">TS</a>]

00:23:34   is meant for you know the superheroes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1414">TS</a>]

00:23:37   are the are the prime Jonna in comics in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1417">TS</a>]

00:23:40   our world although not in the world of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1420">TS</a>]

00:23:41   the watchman which is also funny it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:50   completely wreck of an idea of concept [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:53   that a human being would be a hero [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1433">TS</a>]

00:23:55   well didn't more intend Rorschach to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1435">TS</a>]

00:24:00   piece he intended him to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1440">TS</a>]

00:24:02   I've read sort of the villain of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1442">TS</a>]

00:24:08   writes Rorschach in a way that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1448">TS</a>]

00:24:12   wouldn't necessarily be a sip of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1452">TS</a>]

00:28:05   well and he has a lot going for him in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1685">TS</a>]

00:28:08   the end I think in that he's the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1688">TS</a>]

00:28:10   one that's that's that's willing not to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1690">TS</a>]

00:28:24   been here here's what that line as Blake [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1704">TS</a>]

00:28:29   I've never met anyone so deliberately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1709">TS</a>]

00:28:31   amoral he suits the climate here in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:33   Vietnam the madness the pointless [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1713">TS</a>]

00:28:34   butchery as I come to understand Vietnam [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1714">TS</a>]

00:28:36   and what it implies about the human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1716">TS</a>]

00:28:38   condition [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1718">TS</a>]

00:28:41   permit themselves such an understanding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1721">TS</a>]

00:28:45   perfectly and he doesn't care [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1725">TS</a>]

00:28:47   right well that goes into Morse whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:49   thesis that anybody who gets into this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1729">TS</a>]

00:29:03   after piece of rough trade and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1743">TS</a>]

00:29:06   original the original silk spectre is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:08   certainly not a model of well-adjusted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/1748">TS</a>]

00:34:05   really strange and interesting character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2045">TS</a>]

00:34:08   to have walking among all the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2048">TS</a>]

00:34:16   cipher and the back material reveals [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2056">TS</a>]

00:34:18   that the original quote was actually God [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2058">TS</a>]

00:34:20   exists and he is American which which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2060">TS</a>]

00:34:23   makes it even more horrifying i like how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2063">TS</a>]

00:34:25   I like having read them out basically i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2065">TS</a>]

00:34:33   he's got the part that perspective at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2073">TS</a>]

00:34:35   the end which is which is like the line [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2075">TS</a>]

00:34:36   of the the line of the book right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2076">TS</a>]

00:34:42   taken this entire plot and then it's so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2082">TS</a>]

00:34:45   obvious and of course it's actually he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2085">TS</a>]

00:34:47   Ozymandias right and the whole idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2087">TS</a>]

00:35:24   convinces him that he can intervene [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2124">TS</a>]

00:35:28   which is this sort of the simple story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2128">TS</a>]

00:35:31   that is the story of every human life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2131">TS</a>]

00:35:33   which is that you know who could have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2133">TS</a>]

00:36:11   you know the and I i think that's a kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:15   of an interesting almost happy thing to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2175">TS</a>]

00:36:18   find in the midst of the bleakness of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:19   this of this story although it struck me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2179">TS</a>]

00:36:22   reading at this time that it's it seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:24   a little odd that he hadn't picked up on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2184">TS</a>]

00:36:26   that before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2186">TS</a>]

00:36:27   intel Lori told her her story about her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2187">TS</a>]

00:36:38   you know shaping his glass castle its it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2198">TS</a>]

00:36:41   just seems a bit odd that having spent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2201">TS</a>]

00:36:43   as much time as he did on earth and in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2203">TS</a>]

00:36:45   the presence of of lori that he had not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:47   got that connection before until you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:50   know at the crucial moment in chapter 7 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2210">TS</a>]

00:36:53   or whatever it is they're tachyons he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2213">TS</a>]

00:36:55   was distracted or you could I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2215">TS</a>]

00:36:56   perhaps it's I mean the kind of the art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2216">TS</a>]

00:36:58   that dr. Manhattan coaster is that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2218">TS</a>]

00:37:00   kind of loses more and more touch with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2220">TS</a>]

00:37:02   humanity and the understanding for even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:04   the people around him until perhaps then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2224">TS</a>]

00:37:07   he reaches this point where he sees them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2227">TS</a>]

00:37:08   as you know not just these ants but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2228">TS</a>]

00:37:11   these kind of miraculous combinations of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2231">TS</a>]

00:37:14   fascinating against PS fascinating and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2234">TS</a>]

00:37:30   finally make him snap out of it a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2250">TS</a>]

00:38:47   retarded and ineffectual it was as if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2327">TS</a>]

00:38:49   God had little more than contempt for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2329">TS</a>]

00:38:51   his creations and gave them no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2331">TS</a>]

00:38:53   opportunity to transcend the limits he'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2333">TS</a>]

00:38:56   set for them at first you kinda might [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2336">TS</a>]

00:38:58   think that he was talking about in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2338">TS</a>]

00:39:00   Manhattan there but he's actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2340">TS</a>]

00:39:01   talking about more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2341">TS</a>]

00:39:03   yeah yeah yeah that that's that's really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2343">TS</a>]

00:39:13   completely ineffectual and you know I I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2353">TS</a>]

00:39:18   guess I it's worth asking the question [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2358">TS</a>]

00:39:40   packed on the John read that it's in I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2380">TS</a>]

00:39:43   thought the lesson of Washington's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2383">TS</a>]

00:39:44   nothing matters huh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2384">TS</a>]

00:39:46   I kid that's that's what I took that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2386">TS</a>]

00:39:49   nothing in the adolescent I took was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2389">TS</a>]

00:39:51   that comic books aren't any good except [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2391">TS</a>]

00:39:54   for blood yet but I should just give up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:56   give up everyone give up a lesson is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2396">TS</a>]

00:39:59   that common tell really great stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2399">TS</a>]

00:40:01   well more didn't really set out to to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2401">TS</a>]

00:40:04   produce a meeting as far as as far as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2404">TS</a>]

00:40:06   what I've read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:08   hehe wanted to you know take the comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2408">TS</a>]

00:40:11   medium somewhere new wine and maybe blow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2411">TS</a>]

00:40:13   up superhero no superhero trappings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2413">TS</a>]

00:40:15   along the way right tell what if story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2415">TS</a>]

00:40:18   the germ of his idea was he thought it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2418">TS</a>]

00:40:20   would be interesting to see what would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2420">TS</a>]

00:40:21   happen if he took these existing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2421">TS</a>]

00:40:23   charlton characters and and and me and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2423">TS</a>]

00:40:26   threw them into a realistic setting you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2426">TS</a>]

00:40:28   know any meaning that arose out of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2428">TS</a>]

00:40:30   it i think is almost entirely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2430">TS</a>]

00:40:31   coincidental [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2431">TS</a>]

00:40:33   nothing ever ends Steve well there is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2433">TS</a>]

00:40:35   that maybe that's our lesson or maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2435">TS</a>]

00:40:38   the lesson is that there's nothing you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2438">TS</a>]

00:40:39   want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2439">TS</a>]

00:40:39   well it isn't all that much I you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2439">TS</a>]

00:40:42   and this is kinda blue and this is kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2442">TS</a>]

00:40:44   of why for me the work you know as as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2444">TS</a>]

00:40:50   much as it meant to me it meant more to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2450">TS</a>]

00:40:51   me when I was 16 and maybe when I was in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2451">TS</a>]

00:40:55   my twenties and it does now that I'm 40 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2455">TS</a>]

00:40:57   and it's well it's one of those books [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2457">TS</a>]

00:41:01   that it you know it's it's you read it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2461">TS</a>]

00:41:03   and that you know you'll never forget [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2463">TS</a>]

00:41:05   the first time you read a story like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2465">TS</a>]

00:41:08   this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2468">TS</a>]

00:41:08   yeah re i remember vividly you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2468">TS</a>]

00:41:13   going over that the first just the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2473">TS</a>]

00:41:15   few issues i was just completely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2475">TS</a>]

00:41:17   engrossed and captivated and I and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2477">TS</a>]

00:41:20   you know it it just blows your mind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2480">TS</a>]

00:41:23   right i mean you're cute and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2483">TS</a>]

00:41:25   your your teenager and this is this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2485">TS</a>]

00:41:27   exciting and new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2487">TS</a>]

00:41:29   but over time I'm you have i read it i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2489">TS</a>]

00:41:33   read it again carefully right before the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2493">TS</a>]

00:41:35   movie came out and the the one the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2495">TS</a>]

00:41:40   great impression I was left with was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2500">TS</a>]

00:41:42   this is really kind of a relic of of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2502">TS</a>]

00:41:48   eighties and allow you know a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:51   this stuff is kinda hokey [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2511">TS</a>]

00:41:53   and maybe not so as smart as I remember [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2513">TS</a>]

00:41:58   it being and I think that just comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2518">TS</a>]

00:42:01   with with time and experience in reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2521">TS</a>]

00:42:04   and and your perspective on things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2524">TS</a>]

00:42:05   changes but so for me I I'm a kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2525">TS</a>]

00:42:10   ambivalent about the book now I I you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2530">TS</a>]

00:42:13   know 20 years ago I I was much more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2533">TS</a>]

00:42:16   passionate about it and I and I i I'll i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2536">TS</a>]

00:42:20   loved it and now I think my order has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2540">TS</a>]

00:42:23   has cooled greatly then would you think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2543">TS</a>]

00:42:27   what you said this book has a real cold [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2547">TS</a>]

00:42:29   war sensibility to it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2549">TS</a>]

00:42:30   oh yeah yeah I'm going to think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2550">TS</a>]

00:42:32   stands out for me when I do the reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2552">TS</a>]

00:42:34   is just this real polarity of this real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2554">TS</a>]

00:42:36   sense that both sides will always be as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2556">TS</a>]

00:42:39   they are and it completely dismisses the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2559">TS</a>]

00:42:41   idea that something could happen as did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2561">TS</a>]

00:42:44   happen in real life in 1989 going into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:47   the nineties something other than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2567">TS</a>]

00:42:49   Armageddon right i mean yeah yeah yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2569">TS</a>]

00:42:52   and and so there there's an there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2572">TS</a>]

00:42:54   naivete about the book and so when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2574">TS</a>]

00:42:58   know to read it now is to save it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2578">TS</a>]

00:43:01   quite as sophisticated as as I once [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2581">TS</a>]

00:43:04   thought and and so you know Ben when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:06   hit your forties the order is the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2586">TS</a>]

00:43:08   thing to brother but it went like anyway [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2588">TS</a>]

00:43:12   I don't I I think I don't know about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2592">TS</a>]

00:43:16   sophistication I guess what I would say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2596">TS</a>]

00:43:17   is that is that part of the appeal of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2597">TS</a>]

00:43:19   is that it is that this is a story is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2599">TS</a>]

00:43:23   act of rebellion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2603">TS</a>]

00:43:24   I think it is it is all and if you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2604">TS</a>]

00:43:28   reading it when you're 16 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2608">TS</a>]

00:43:29   man that is the perfect time for it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2609">TS</a>]

00:43:31   because it's all those comic books that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2611">TS</a>]

00:43:33   you loved as a kid and that you're now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2613">TS</a>]

00:43:35   getting in the mail once a month right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2615">TS</a>]

00:43:37   I mean for me that was exactly what it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2617">TS</a>]

00:43:38   was they are they they are day they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2618">TS</a>]

00:43:42   don't bear any resemblance to reality [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2622">TS</a>]

00:43:44   they don't work logically that's not how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2624">TS</a>]

00:43:47   it would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2627">TS</a>]

00:43:48   we're going to use this medium to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2628">TS</a>]

00:43:51   destroy all of the you know the the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2631">TS</a>]

00:43:54   conventions that you've that they've had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2634">TS</a>]

00:43:57   that all these beliefs that you've had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2637">TS</a>]

00:43:59   about it and as as an act of rebellion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2639">TS</a>]

00:44:02   is kind of a bomb placed in this in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2642">TS</a>]

00:44:04   genre that i've been reading since I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2644">TS</a>]

00:44:05   five years old [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2645">TS</a>]

00:44:06   it was incredibly effective effect is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:09   not only was that a bomb from 1987 but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2649">TS</a>]

00:44:13   uh it changed the medium and the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2653">TS</a>]

00:44:17   has moved on so what were left with is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:20   you know that it was influential and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2660">TS</a>]

00:44:23   that it's got a kind of a clever plot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2663">TS</a>]

00:44:25   although even there the time sequence [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2665">TS</a>]

00:44:27   stuff has been beaten to death by modern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2667">TS</a>]

00:44:29   narrative techniques right i mean it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2669">TS</a>]

00:44:31   quentin tarantino did you know made pulp [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2671">TS</a>]

00:44:35   fiction with with slices of of time out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2675">TS</a>]

00:44:37   of order and every TV show and movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2677">TS</a>]

00:44:40   since then has has done that and so even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2680">TS</a>]

00:44:43   the doctor manhattan stuff where it's so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2683">TS</a>]

00:44:45   cool that he used time non-linearly it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2685">TS</a>]

00:44:47   like yeah it everybody we got it we got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:51   it right so it makes it very difficult [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2691">TS</a>]

00:44:53   to look at that at and so in some ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2693">TS</a>]

00:44:56   that the stuff that I've I discover when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2696">TS</a>]

00:44:58   I reread it is not so much about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2698">TS</a>]

00:45:00   message or the meaning or the the plot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2700">TS</a>]

00:45:02   even as much as the detail in the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2702">TS</a>]

00:45:07   and for that I I we've been talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2707">TS</a>]

00:45:09   about alan moore a whole lot but for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2709">TS</a>]

00:45:11   that I i give a whole lot of credit to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:13   Dave Gibbons whoo-hoo the detail in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2713">TS</a>]

00:45:16   work especially if you look at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2716">TS</a>]

00:45:17   absolute collection is really kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2717">TS</a>]

00:45:21   amazing and viewed on purely on that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2721">TS</a>]

00:45:23   level i think this is a this is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2723">TS</a>]

00:45:25   amazing work i think more himself even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2725">TS</a>]

00:45:28   said that he was discovering things you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2728">TS</a>]

00:45:31   know that's later that he didn't he had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2731">TS</a>]

00:45:33   no idea where their yeah yeah so i need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:35   to give it even if you some of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2735">TS</a>]

00:45:37   stuff has lost its power over time and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2737">TS</a>]

00:45:39   it is much more something in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2739">TS</a>]

00:45:43   relative of the eighties in some ways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:45   even though it was incredibly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2745">TS</a>]

00:45:46   influential still some of that some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2746">TS</a>]

00:45:48   that work that the Givens did is amazing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2748">TS</a>]

00:45:51   and the absolute also we should say John [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2751">TS</a>]

00:45:53   Higgins the original colorist recolored [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2753">TS</a>]

00:45:55   it because the color technology in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2755">TS</a>]

00:45:57   eighties will apparently really terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2757">TS</a>]

00:46:00   there's actually a great story about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2760">TS</a>]

00:46:02   about that i think i think maybe in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2762">TS</a>]

00:46:04   absolute edition about how he had a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2764">TS</a>]

00:46:06   recolor it digitally and it's that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2766">TS</a>]

00:46:08   version that's used on the on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2768">TS</a>]

00:46:11   regular trade editions now is also using [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2771">TS</a>]

00:46:14   that special recolored and it they look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2774">TS</a>]

00:46:16   much better so the shoutout to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2776">TS</a>]

00:46:18   colors but also just to get in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2778">TS</a>]

00:46:20   the artist because that there's some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2780">TS</a>]

00:46:22   amazing work in in the details of every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2782">TS</a>]

00:46:25   panel of this of this book actually I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2785">TS</a>]

00:46:28   really really glad you brought up John [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2788">TS</a>]

00:46:29   Higgins because i've i've always felt it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2789">TS</a>]

00:46:31   was a bit of a shame that he didn't get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2791">TS</a>]

00:46:33   an equal credit with that with Givens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2793">TS</a>]

00:46:35   and more because his color work is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2795">TS</a>]

00:46:38   it's a major major part of what makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2798">TS</a>]

00:46:40   watchman great from one of the nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2800">TS</a>]

00:46:42   things about the recolor that they did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2802">TS</a>]

00:46:43   for the absolute that is now the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2803">TS</a>]

00:46:45   definitive version is I think that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2805">TS</a>]

00:46:48   think that morgan Gibbons basically said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2808">TS</a>]

00:46:50   give humans are money and so they they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2810">TS</a>]

00:46:54   paid him and he gave him a you know a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2814">TS</a>]

00:46:57   share or gave him all the money i'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2817">TS</a>]

00:46:58   sure but he he paid or maybe you got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2818">TS</a>]

00:47:00   more share but basically that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2820">TS</a>]

00:47:02   recolored it using some modern [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2822">TS</a>]

00:47:05   techniques where he could heat their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2825">TS</a>]

00:47:06   stuff that technically he couldn't do in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2826">TS</a>]

00:47:09   86 and 87 that he was able to do and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2829">TS</a>]

00:47:13   looks great and he actually got paid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2833">TS</a>]

00:47:15   because apparently got paid basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2835">TS</a>]

00:47:16   nothing for this being involved was and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2836">TS</a>]

00:47:19   so it's actually really cool story and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2839">TS</a>]

00:47:20   there's a book called watching the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2840">TS</a>]

00:47:22   watchmen that came out about the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2842">TS</a>]

00:47:24   time as the absolute that's like a big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2844">TS</a>]

00:47:25   coffee table book that's got lots of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2845">TS</a>]

00:47:27   sketches and notes and some of alan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2847">TS</a>]

00:47:30   moore script and that's for anybody who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2850">TS</a>]

00:47:31   loves the story or who has spent you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2851">TS</a>]

00:47:34   know 20 years living with it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2854">TS</a>]

00:47:36   that's a that's not worth checking out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2856">TS</a>]

00:47:38   too because there's a lot of great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:40   beautiful detail in that and a story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2860">TS</a>]

00:47:42   about how it all came together we should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2862">TS</a>]

00:47:45   talk about the movie briefly at least [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2865">TS</a>]

00:47:47   Lisa can get in her kicks but i wanted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2867">TS</a>]

00:47:49   to start i want to start with then just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2869">TS</a>]

00:47:52   to carry on with what you were saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2872">TS</a>]

00:47:53   before we set on a very early [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2873">TS</a>]

00:47:56   incomparable podcast we were talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2876">TS</a>]

00:47:58   about watchmen briefly and then you you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2878">TS</a>]

00:48:00   made the provocative statement that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2880">TS</a>]

00:48:03   movie you know we always say things like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2883">TS</a>]

00:48:05   well you know the book is still there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2885">TS</a>]

00:48:06   it's not changing just because of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2886">TS</a>]

00:48:07   movie and you actually made the point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2887">TS</a>]

00:48:09   that that the movie diminished your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2889">TS</a>]

00:48:11   appreciation of the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2891">TS</a>]

00:48:13   yeah yeah so like I said if a couple of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2893">TS</a>]

00:48:15   minutes ago I i reread the book before I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2895">TS</a>]

00:48:18   saw the movie because i wanted to mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2898">TS</a>]

00:48:21   you know you gonna be ready [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2901">TS</a>]

00:48:22   yeah and you go into the idea that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2902">TS</a>]

00:48:24   book is always better than the movie and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2904">TS</a>]

00:48:27   you you can understand after seeing the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2907">TS</a>]

00:48:31   movie why more thought it could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2911">TS</a>]

00:48:34   and be filmed and I and probably not in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2914">TS</a>]

00:48:36   the way that you might think I i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2916">TS</a>]

00:48:37   it because it in some ways it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2917">TS</a>]

00:48:40   it's just ridiculous on-screen and maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2920">TS</a>]

00:48:45   maybe it's because of the will love the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2925">TS</a>]

00:48:46   way you know maybe blame it on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2926">TS</a>]

00:48:48   director or whatever but no that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2928">TS</a>]

00:48:51   start that's just the start in the role [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2931">TS</a>]

00:48:53   of blame [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2933">TS</a>]

00:48:54   I'm it that that movie you know they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2934">TS</a>]

00:48:58   there in the past 10 years there have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2938">TS</a>]

00:49:01   been two movies that I've seen that have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2941">TS</a>]

00:49:03   thrown me into a week-long depression [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2943">TS</a>]

00:49:05   the Phantom Menace was one and watchmen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2945">TS</a>]

00:49:11   was the other one but but the problem is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2951">TS</a>]

00:49:13   that when you see this stuff act the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2953">TS</a>]

00:49:16   stuff that does that that's on the page [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2956">TS</a>]

00:49:18   that you know that you you've studied [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2958">TS</a>]

00:49:20   that you've you know you've gotten that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2960">TS</a>]

00:49:23   the ink on your on your fingers reading [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2963">TS</a>]

00:49:26   so much and you go back and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2966">TS</a>]

00:49:29   actually see it interpreted and put on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2969">TS</a>]

00:49:31   the screen and you realize just how kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2971">TS</a>]

00:49:36   of dumb advice whole scheme really is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2976">TS</a>]

00:49:41   yeah and then you kind of think Jesus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2981">TS</a>]

00:49:43   this is this is it this is it and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2983">TS</a>]

00:49:46   yeah and the worst is the dialogue I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2986">TS</a>]

00:49:48   mean what what looks good on the page [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2988">TS</a>]

00:49:49   sounds unbelievably stilted when it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2989">TS</a>]

00:49:51   comes out of people's mouths yeah and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2991">TS</a>]

00:49:53   and now so it it it it it because it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2993">TS</a>]

00:49:57   because i think you know you have now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/2997">TS</a>]

00:50:00   you have you have Rorschach's voice well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3000">TS</a>]

00:50:03   I always imagined his voice being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3003">TS</a>]

00:50:05   something very different from what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3005">TS</a>]

00:50:07   Jackie Earle Haley did and he has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3007">TS</a>]

00:50:09   actually pretty good movie but but now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3009">TS</a>]

00:50:12   it's it's jackie earle haley voice and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3012">TS</a>]

00:50:16   not when you look at the book and and of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3016">TS</a>]

00:50:19   course there are other problems with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3019">TS</a>]

00:50:20   book and the biggest is that that Lori [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3020">TS</a>]

00:50:25   gets the line at the of the book yet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3025">TS</a>]

00:50:27   john told me something once when we were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3027">TS</a>]

00:50:29   eating tacos so I don't know nothing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3029">TS</a>]

00:50:34   ever changes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3034">TS</a>]

00:50:36   a lighter and you know yeah John I've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3036">TS</a>]

00:50:39   I've reached the end of my taco nothing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3039">TS</a>]

00:50:41   ever ends Lori yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3041">TS</a>]

00:50:43   oh here are you gonna do that that set [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3043">TS</a>]

00:50:45   its bottomless taco night [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3045">TS</a>]

00:50:47   what are you talking about nothing ever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3047">TS</a>]

00:50:48   ends but code taco Charlie's gonna do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3048">TS</a>]

00:50:51   today that said making the the most of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3051">TS</a>]

00:50:57   the significant change that snider made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3057">TS</a>]

00:50:59   in you know translating it from book to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3059">TS</a>]

00:51:02   screen which was basically blaming the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3062">TS</a>]

00:51:04   whole thing on dr. Manhattan for getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3064">TS</a>]

00:51:06   yeah that makes a lot more sense to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3066">TS</a>]

00:51:09   giant oculus thank you God bless you and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3069">TS</a>]

00:51:12   you know what though is as dopey as all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3072">TS</a>]

00:51:15   the rest of it seems when put up on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3075">TS</a>]

00:51:16   screen i don't think the giant octopus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3076">TS</a>]

00:51:18   would come off that poorly Lisa have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3078">TS</a>]

00:51:21   your kicks go for it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3081">TS</a>]

00:51:22   yeah damn damn first of all if you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3082">TS</a>]

00:51:25   ever gonna watch the movie leave after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3085">TS</a>]

00:51:26   the credits because the credits the best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3086">TS</a>]

00:51:28   part of that the credits are great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3088">TS</a>]

00:51:29   oh my gosh I had such high expectations [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3089">TS</a>]

00:51:31   after watching that sequence because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3091">TS</a>]

00:51:33   that sequence is such a distinct visual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3093">TS</a>]

00:51:35   style and it provides this it really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3095">TS</a>]

00:51:38   puts you in a frame of mind where you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3098">TS</a>]

00:51:39   understand the Ark of superhero history [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3099">TS</a>]

00:51:41   as as takes place in this universe it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3101">TS</a>]

00:51:43   got a very it sucks you into this little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3103">TS</a>]

00:51:46   bubble and your kind of expecting the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3106">TS</a>]

00:51:47   whole motivated to do that it's the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3107">TS</a>]

00:51:49   bit of adaptation you could argue other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3109">TS</a>]

00:51:51   than changing a lot of the end in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3111">TS</a>]

00:51:52   movie is that that's where the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3112">TS</a>]

00:51:54   filmmakers actually sat down and thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3114">TS</a>]

00:51:55   we need to not be slavish how can we use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3115">TS</a>]

00:51:58   this medium to tell a story quickly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3118">TS</a>]

00:52:00   effectively evocatively and then you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3120">TS</a>]

00:52:03   from that distance that is big and dumb [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3123">TS</a>]

00:52:05   and let wet and loud and on fire and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3125">TS</a>]

00:52:08   well and it is using every panel as the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3128">TS</a>]

00:52:11   as the storyboards and is using every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3131">TS</a>]

00:52:13   dialogue bubble as the dialogue as I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3133">TS</a>]

00:52:17   don't think you should at this is where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3137">TS</a>]

00:52:18   I think when you're doing an adaptation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3138">TS</a>]

00:52:19   you really need to to to stress at adapt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3139">TS</a>]

00:52:22   as guesses as the as the syllable to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3142">TS</a>]

00:52:26   keep in mind for for any and all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3146">TS</a>]

00:52:27   creative endeavor because you absolutely [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3147">TS</a>]

00:52:29   cannot transpose something that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3149">TS</a>]

00:52:31   place the strength of one medium into a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3151">TS</a>]

00:52:33   completely different medium without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3153">TS</a>]

00:52:34   considering the the deputies individual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3154">TS</a>]

00:52:38   strengths my biggest complaint about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3158">TS</a>]

00:52:41   this movie however is that they really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3161">TS</a>]

00:53:51   totally think that would work for this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3231">TS</a>]

00:53:53   movie and I think he was actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3233">TS</a>]

00:53:56   interested in Lori they just cast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3236">TS</a>]

00:53:57   somebody who looked good and couldn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3237">TS</a>]

00:54:00   act sad she fit the said that character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3240">TS</a>]

00:54:02   deserve better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3242">TS</a>]

00:54:03   right well now I did the character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3243">TS</a>]

00:54:05   deserve better they did the same thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3245">TS</a>]

00:54:06   they do every time they could cast any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3246">TS</a>]

00:54:08   woman superhero which is they go for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3248">TS</a>]

00:54:10   somebody who will fill out only at are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3250">TS</a>]

00:54:12   not looking at that as opposed to like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3252">TS</a>]

00:54:13   mixed martial arts fighter or some or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3253">TS</a>]

00:54:15   somebody who'd be built like an actual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3255">TS</a>]

00:54:17   professional who uses her body to kill [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3257">TS</a>]

00:54:19   people but it goes back to the slavish [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3259">TS</a>]

00:54:20   devotion to the source material right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3260">TS</a>]

00:54:22   they needed to get somebody who looked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3262">TS</a>]

00:54:23   like Lori so that's what they did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3263">TS</a>]

00:54:25   unfortunately they don't make them look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3265">TS</a>]

00:54:27   that look like Lori but can act [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3267">TS</a>]

00:54:29   apparently no no one there's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3269">TS</a>]

00:54:31   realism that aren't enough actresses in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3271">TS</a>]

00:54:33   Hollywood I guess whether there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3273">TS</a>]

00:54:35   the whole realism of comics that comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3275">TS</a>]

00:54:37   into question to which is which is if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3277">TS</a>]

00:54:39   you're a tough beating up you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3279">TS</a>]

00:54:41   beating up crooks crimefighter would you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3281">TS</a>]

00:54:44   wear an outfit like that and would you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3284">TS</a>]

00:54:46   look like that and chances are neither [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3286">TS</a>]

00:54:48   of those things is is true I i think i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3288">TS</a>]

00:54:51   wrote at the time i actually wrote a i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3291">TS</a>]

00:54:52   found that the other day a blog post [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3292">TS</a>]

00:54:54   about after I'd seen this movie which I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3294">TS</a>]

00:54:56   actually saw with Lisa it was always so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3296">TS</a>]

00:54:59   it's Phil who is completely ignore [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3299">TS</a>]

00:55:01   have baffled those never read it and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3301">TS</a>]

00:55:05   refused to read it beforehand he said I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3305">TS</a>]

00:55:07   don't want to read that I just want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3307">TS</a>]

00:55:08   go in to assess it as a movie yeah that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3308">TS</a>]

00:55:10   they had that had that work out for you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3310">TS</a>]

00:55:14   know I'm kind of great actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3314">TS</a>]

00:55:15   yeah so so my feeling about it is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3315">TS</a>]

00:55:19   it's actually not that different even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3319">TS</a>]

00:55:22   though I i spend a little more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3322">TS</a>]

00:55:23   positively than you and Ben I i think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3323">TS</a>]

00:55:25   were not that far off by feeling is with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3325">TS</a>]

00:55:27   the exception of some casting I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3327">TS</a>]

00:55:29   it's about as good as a move an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3329">TS</a>]

00:55:31   adaptation of watchmen could probably be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3331">TS</a>]

00:55:33   at least in the two to three-hour movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3333">TS</a>]

00:55:36   format right only in the sense and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3336">TS</a>]

00:55:39   basically that means I'm agreeing with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3339">TS</a>]

00:55:40   that i'm not sure it if I i think this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3340">TS</a>]

00:55:43   is about what you could do if you wanted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3343">TS</a>]

00:55:44   to do it and look it you know judge it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3344">TS</a>]

00:55:46   as it is it kind of doesn't work but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3346">TS</a>]

00:55:49   they are not sure they could have made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3349">TS</a>]

00:55:51   it work much better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3351">TS</a>]

00:55:52   I to your point Steve I mean everybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3352">TS</a>]

00:55:55   who knows me and knows I've said this a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3355">TS</a>]

00:55:57   million times which is adapting this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3357">TS</a>]

00:55:59   1212 episode series for HBO maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3359">TS</a>]

00:56:03   would've worked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3363">TS</a>]

00:56:04   yes at with those individual chapter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3364">TS</a>]

00:56:06   breaks back but the fact is economically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3366">TS</a>]

00:56:09   you know they just get them they don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3369">TS</a>]

00:56:10   usually do that anymore unless you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3370">TS</a>]

00:56:12   george RR martin i guess but I so so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3372">TS</a>]

00:56:15   instead they made it to our movie out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3375">TS</a>]

00:56:16   it and and and it's it's you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3376">TS</a>]

00:56:20   looks good and it's very slave Ashley [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3380">TS</a>]

00:56:25   devoted source material and yeah yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3385">TS</a>]

00:56:27   the exception of sexy which is expanded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3387">TS</a>]

00:56:30   from the source material and is terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3390">TS</a>]

00:56:32   and is unwatchable is is one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3392">TS</a>]

00:56:34   least sexy sex scenes in any movie ever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3394">TS</a>]

00:56:37   they really should they should really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3397">TS</a>]

00:56:38   should couple that with abstinence only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3398">TS</a>]

00:56:40   education very everybody read your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3400">TS</a>]

00:56:45   watchman and now watch this movie and oh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3405">TS</a>]

00:56:47   god every don't even don't even have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3407">TS</a>]

00:56:50   read watchmen just watch that one scene [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3410">TS</a>]

00:56:53   yeah then this is what awaits you every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3413">TS</a>]

00:56:54   kids don't really know what to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3414">TS</a>]

00:56:57   internet with me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3417">TS</a>]

00:56:58   so are we were with friends i actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3418">TS</a>]

00:57:01   genuinely enjoyed the movie i know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3421">TS</a>]

00:57:04   that's that's that's an unusual opinion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3424">TS</a>]

00:57:06   but as you may have gathered from past [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3426">TS</a>]

00:57:09   five cast episodes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3429">TS</a>]

00:57:10   I'm a very simple man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3430">TS</a>]

00:57:11   and to me just just the fact that i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3431">TS</a>]

00:57:14   i I was seeing these characters that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3434">TS</a>]

00:57:16   grew up with and love to put up on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3436">TS</a>]

00:57:18   screen by somebody who clearly loves [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3438">TS</a>]

00:57:19   them just as much like marionettes know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3439">TS</a>]

00:57:23   there's something to that I've seen it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3443">TS</a>]

00:57:25   I've seen it twice and we'll see it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3445">TS</a>]

00:57:27   again so i don't i don't hate it I just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3447">TS</a>]

00:57:29   you know I i would say i'm deeply [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3449">TS</a>]

00:57:32   ambivalent because I appreciate the a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3452">TS</a>]

00:57:35   lot of the work that went into it and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3455">TS</a>]

00:57:37   feel like it was faithful and yet I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3457">TS</a>]

00:57:41   also look at it and think move really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3461">TS</a>]

00:57:43   you know I just kind of feel like what's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3463">TS</a>]

00:57:45   the point yeah well look it it wasn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3465">TS</a>]

00:57:49   League of Extraordinary Gentlemen it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3469">TS</a>]

00:57:54   never seen that I don't think I wanted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3474">TS</a>]

00:57:55   the reading your spirit that's for sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3475">TS</a>]

00:57:57   never really ate it it was about as good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3477">TS</a>]

00:58:00   as you could get with about with a two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3480">TS</a>]

00:58:02   to three-hour adaptation I mean that my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3482">TS</a>]

00:58:04   major beefs with some having issues with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3484">TS</a>]

00:58:06   the caveat that the casting was was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3486">TS</a>]

00:58:08   pretty bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3488">TS</a>]

00:58:09   my biggest beef was I didn't think this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3489">TS</a>]

00:58:12   was something that you could show to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3492">TS</a>]

00:58:14   watchman virgin and expect them to have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3494">TS</a>]

00:58:16   any idea what the heck was going on and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3496">TS</a>]

00:58:18   I think that the directors cut on DVD i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3498">TS</a>]

00:58:20   think mostly solves that problem so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3500">TS</a>]

00:58:23   mean I i really wanted to use it as an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3503">TS</a>]

00:58:25   opportunity to to show it to friends of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3505">TS</a>]

00:58:28   mine who would never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3508">TS</a>]

00:58:29   who would never give the the trade [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3509">TS</a>]

00:58:31   paperback shot and and kind of use it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3511">TS</a>]

00:58:34   hasn't has an opening to get them into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3514">TS</a>]

00:58:36   watchman and discuss it but it really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3516">TS</a>]

00:58:39   was useless on that front [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3519">TS</a>]

00:58:41   yeah I saw it with a group of friends [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3521">TS</a>]

00:58:42   who were not comics readers with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3522">TS</a>]

00:58:45   familiar with comics movies and to them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3525">TS</a>]

00:58:47   they just didn't really see the point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3527">TS</a>]

00:58:48   right it to them it was sure you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3528">TS</a>]

00:58:50   inferior compared to the dark knight ur [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3530">TS</a>]

00:58:52   and other things like that which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3532">TS</a>]

00:58:55   unfortunate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:55   yeah yeah I i proceeded these motion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:59   comics versions of it that I actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3539">TS</a>]

00:59:01   thought were better in that in that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3541">TS</a>]

00:59:03   were trying to be faithful to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3543">TS</a>]

00:59:04   exactly faithful to the source material [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3544">TS</a>]

00:59:07   and Gibbons actually drew some extra [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3547">TS</a>]

00:59:08   stuff for them and you know that's what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3548">TS</a>]

00:59:11   i showed my wife who is not a comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3551">TS</a>]

00:59:12   books reader and and I thought that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3552">TS</a>]

00:59:14   thought that went ok / okay with her I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3554">TS</a>]

00:59:17   thought that was kind of a more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3557">TS</a>]

00:59:18   effective way to tell that story and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3558">TS</a>]

00:59:21   letters and whined and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3561">TS</a>]

00:59:22   basically 1240 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3562">TS</a>]

00:59:24   five-minute TV episodes using the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3564">TS</a>]

00:59:26   original artwork with a basically a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3566">TS</a>]

00:59:28   narrator whereas the movie it is all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3568">TS</a>]

00:59:32   yeah i mean i-i can't judge it as as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3572">TS</a>]

00:59:35   somebody who hasn't read the book right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3575">TS</a>]

00:59:36   so ima make absolutely no sense to them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3576">TS</a>]

00:59:38   and why wouldn't surprise me right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3578">TS</a>]

00:59:41   my other big beef was that it's just too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3581">TS</a>]

00:59:44   completely obvious from the start that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3584">TS</a>]

00:59:46   Adrian Veidt is the guy behind the plot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3586">TS</a>]

00:59:49   I mean just that accent just drips guilt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3589">TS</a>]

00:59:51   from c1 to the end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3591">TS</a>]

00:59:54   Egypt's puppetmaster vibes yeah i did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3594">TS</a>]

00:59:56   not get that when reading the book right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3596">TS</a>]

00:59:58   i'm reading the story in the been the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3598">TS</a>]

00:59:59   big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3599">TS</a>]

00:59:59   big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3599">TS</a>]

01:00:00   anything you know that that was that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3600">TS</a>]

01:00:02   that was a twist that worked for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3602">TS</a>]

01:00:04   although reading the book this time and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3604">TS</a>]

01:00:07   trying to to trying to really catch on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3607">TS</a>]

01:00:10   to all the clues and hints i can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3610">TS</a>]

01:00:12   believe i had not figured I know at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3612">TS</a>]

01:00:14   time it was actually / I know because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3614">TS</a>]

01:00:16   they keep dropping the in our defense we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3616">TS</a>]

01:00:18   were all young teenagers that's true but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3618">TS</a>]

01:00:21   I'm gonna keep dropping things like in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3621">TS</a>]

01:00:22   pyramid deliveries and they've gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3622">TS</a>]

01:00:24   through how he has all the Egyptian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3624">TS</a>]

01:00:28   don't even notice a lot of that stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3628">TS</a>]

01:00:30   it's well-balanced it feels clever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:31   without being obvious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3631">TS</a>]

01:00:33   yeah yeah it doesn't it's not one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3633">TS</a>]

01:00:35   those home right cat-like plot twist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3635">TS</a>]

01:01:42   don't i don't know what to think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3702">TS</a>]

01:01:44   well eight years here's my view on that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3704">TS</a>]

01:01:47   when they collect them all into you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3707">TS</a>]

01:01:50   a giant omnibus which they will which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3710">TS</a>]

01:01:54   they will a different ways time all day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3714">TS</a>]

01:01:55   i will go to the barnes and noble [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3715">TS</a>]

01:01:57   assuming the barnes and noble is still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3717">TS</a>]

01:01:59   in business right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3719">TS</a>]

01:02:00   and assuming the shrink-wrap has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3720">TS</a>]

01:02:11   can go straight to the devil full full [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3731">TS</a>]

01:02:13   the DC they they are getting a by large [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3733">TS</a>]

01:02:18   well thought of writers and artists to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3738">TS</a>]

01:02:24   trying to take care with it and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3744">TS</a>]

01:02:26   kind of nice that they waited whatever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3746">TS</a>]

01:02:28   25 years to do it and give it some room [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3748">TS</a>]

01:02:32   to breathe at the same time you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3752">TS</a>]

01:02:34   is they own the copyright on it and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3754">TS</a>]

01:02:37   you know they're they're not making a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:39   sequel right there they're filling in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3759">TS</a>]

01:02:41   bits of the backstory of these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3761">TS</a>]

01:02:59   I i think i think it's a terrible idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3779">TS</a>]

01:03:01   just because i think that one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3781">TS</a>]

01:03:05   reasons watchman works is because the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3785">TS</a>]

01:03:06   characters we know right now all we know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3786">TS</a>]

01:03:09   about them as is what serves the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3789">TS</a>]

01:03:11   and frankly I don't want to find out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:19   completely pragmatic nihilist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3799">TS</a>]

01:03:24   was for Rorschach to go through junior [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3804">TS</a>]

01:03:25   high without ever getting a balance or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3805">TS</a>]

01:03:28   whatever the hell else are going to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3808">TS</a>]

01:03:44   fire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3824">TS</a>]

01:03:49   kind of prequel stories happen it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3829">TS</a>]

01:03:51   typically and there's going to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3831">TS</a>]

01:03:58   that these characters pads have always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3838">TS</a>]

01:03:59   been meant to cross because you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3839">TS</a>]

01:04:01   some writers going to throw that into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3841">TS</a>]

01:04:02   sure think they're clever got it'll be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3842">TS</a>]

01:04:04   annoying to the smiley faces and clocks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3844">TS</a>]

01:04:43   make it better and I don't think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3883">TS</a>]

01:04:44   needs to be told [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3884">TS</a>]

01:04:45   so you're not even if the shrink-wrap is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3885">TS</a>]

01:04:47   is ripped off you're not gonna look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3887">TS</a>]

01:04:48   the yeah actually end up regretting it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3888">TS</a>]

01:04:52   every time I've done this in the public [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3892">TS</a>]

01:04:53   square where they go back and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3893">TS</a>]

01:04:55   backfilling stories in secret origins [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3895">TS</a>]

01:04:57   and so on and so forth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3897">TS</a>]

01:04:58   no origin is ever as good as well i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3898">TS</a>]

01:05:00   going to come up with in my head so I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3900">TS</a>]

01:05:02   just end up regretting again I'm gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3902">TS</a>]

01:05:03   spice and I'm going to ignore it pretend [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3903">TS</a>]

01:05:05   it didn't exist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3905">TS</a>]

01:05:06   yeah me two chlorines and out now do not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3906">TS</a>]

01:05:10   want exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3910">TS</a>]

01:05:11   yeah exactly i was so much happier with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3911">TS</a>]

01:05:14   the star wars universe before I walked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3914">TS</a>]

01:05:15   into Phantom Menace you're going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3915">TS</a>]

01:05:17   depress bed again it's too late it's too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3917">TS</a>]

01:05:20   late [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3920">TS</a>]

01:05:21   most depressing podcast ever had at one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3921">TS</a>]

01:05:24   point I think that before before DC [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3924">TS</a>]

01:05:27   allegedly screwed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3927">TS</a>]

01:05:29   alan moore and dave gibbons out of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3929">TS</a>]

01:05:30   rights to the the characters i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3930">TS</a>]

01:05:33   there was some talk of them doing a set [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3933">TS</a>]

01:05:36   of prequels based on the Minutemen and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3936">TS</a>]

01:05:39   that i think would have worked because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3939">TS</a>]

01:05:41   it would not have been an attempt to you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3941">TS</a>]

01:05:42   know filling back stories and and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3942">TS</a>]

01:05:46   know could have been kind of an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3946">TS</a>]

01:05:47   independent war and there is a minute [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3947">TS</a>]

01:05:48   men prequel mini-series that is one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3948">TS</a>]

01:05:52   them they're doing i think is that might [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3952">TS</a>]

01:05:54   not be horrible because it will is as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3954">TS</a>]

01:05:56   long as they steer clear of too many of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3956">TS</a>]

01:05:57   the QT Association right which ya can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3957">TS</a>]

01:06:02   i mean i i'm in the same boat as Lisa I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3962">TS</a>]

01:06:04   don't want these back stories filled in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3964">TS</a>]

01:06:05   fact i think one of the reasons that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3965">TS</a>]

01:06:07   watchman works so well for so many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3967">TS</a>]

01:06:09   different people is that more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3969">TS</a>]

01:06:12   deliberately avoided making really over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3972">TS</a>]

01:06:14   moral judgments on the characters and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3974">TS</a>]

01:06:17   and kind of left them a blank slate that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3977">TS</a>]

01:06:20   use the reader could get sort of draw [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3980">TS</a>]

01:06:22   your own conclusions with and I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3982">TS</a>]

01:06:24   the more that you fill in the gaps on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3984">TS</a>]

01:06:26   these characters the less that's going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3986">TS</a>]

01:06:28   to that's going to exist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3988">TS</a>]

01:06:30   yeah I I ice i agree i mean III with Ben [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3990">TS</a>]

01:06:33   I I there maybe they may do good work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3993">TS</a>]

01:06:36   these may be good writers and good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3996">TS</a>]

01:06:37   artists and they made in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3997">TS</a>]

01:06:39   be interesting to see their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/3999">TS</a>]

01:06:40   interpretations of these characters but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4000">TS</a>]

01:06:41   on the other level one of the ways that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4001">TS</a>]

01:06:44   watchman works is that you fill in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4004">TS</a>]

01:06:46   gaps and I i don't think people talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4006">TS</a>]

01:06:48   about that in in fiction enough that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4008">TS</a>]

01:06:50   that even as an audience you have an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4010">TS</a>]

01:06:53   imagination that can go at work and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4013">TS</a>]

01:06:55   implications these little bits that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4015">TS</a>]

01:06:57   implied go so far because the creator's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4017">TS</a>]

01:07:01   know that the audience is going to fill [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4021">TS</a>]

01:07:02   in the gaps in a way that pleases them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4022">TS</a>]

01:07:04   whereas if they made it specific it it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4024">TS</a>]

01:07:07   would be much more difficult and that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4027">TS</a>]

01:07:09   why I met I'm ambivalent about the these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4029">TS</a>]

01:07:11   these prequels is that they may be good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4031">TS</a>]

01:07:13   on their own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4033">TS</a>]

01:07:14   I I don't really like necessarily what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4034">TS</a>]

01:07:16   they stand for in terms of playing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4036">TS</a>]

01:07:17   really playing with the memory of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4037">TS</a>]

01:07:19   thing that I've got in my head which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4039">TS</a>]

01:07:21   watch men as a stand right and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4041">TS</a>]

01:07:24   really in comics a very rare thing a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4044">TS</a>]

01:07:26   complete standalone work where these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4046">TS</a>]

01:07:28   characters you read this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4048">TS</a>]

01:07:30   that's it and that's going to be that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4050">TS</a>]

01:07:33   going to be done well here's the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4053">TS</a>]

01:07:34   here's one let me make one last point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4054">TS</a>]

01:07:35   about that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4055">TS</a>]

01:07:36   do we really need to see you know the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4056">TS</a>]

01:07:39   intricate details of how silk spectre [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4059">TS</a>]

01:07:42   and her lover or not off and when worse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4062">TS</a>]

01:07:46   than that someone I guarantee you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4066">TS</a>]

01:07:48   they're gonna tell us what happened to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4068">TS</a>]

01:07:51   hooded justice suggests they're gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4071">TS</a>]

01:07:53   show Blake killing hooded justice or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4073">TS</a>]

01:07:57   whatever which is one of those great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4077">TS</a>]

01:07:58   mysteries is like right Justice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4078">TS</a>]

01:08:00   disappears [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4080">TS</a>]

01:08:00   there's the implication that Blake might [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4080">TS</a>]

01:08:02   have been involved but it isn't it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4082">TS</a>]

01:08:03   just it is just out there and yeah that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4083">TS</a>]

01:08:06   will probably be dealt with literally so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4086">TS</a>]

01:08:09   they couldn't go to the devil is alright [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMb0Qbl4/4089">TS</a>]
