    Menwatch's AT&T's Zach Snyder's Justice League. We learn that nothing ever ends, again, the hard way. Note: You didn't miss one - we just never finished talking about Picard. We think you know what we would have said.

    We're back to discuss Picard (S1E1-E3), influenced at least by partialy absorption of the Mandalorian. Sagas vs. genres, split protagonists vs. ensembles, and life under the Sonny Bono Act (Pub. L. 105-298).

    Reader mailbag and season finale. Anxious influence; the wisdom but lesser narrative cohesion of crowds; writing to impress a girl. Stay in touch @menwatchpod as we back up to the elephant for a while.

    Part one of our two-part season, or series, finale. Lady Luthors, more Roland Barthes, complaints and rationalizations about loose ends. Please send thoughts and questions by 1/2 to be included in our reader mailbag wrap-up: @menwatchpod or men@menwatch.org

    8. Überdetermined

    The apotheosis of Lindelof; biblical exegesis; crystalline space-time and serial monogamy. [REPOST - if you downloaded before and got a repeat of episode 0, this is the real one]

    Crowdsourcing as pragmatism, secret secret identities, and our forthcoming monograph on eating with masks.

    The show that puts the pain in nostalgia. Retcons, black Supermen, and the discomfort of empathy.

    Watchmen S1E5, "Little Fear of Lightning." Squid science and origin stories; the universal and the particular; God's away on business; seas of bodies as message and as medium.

    4. Lucifer: Men in Tights

    Watchmen S1E4, ""If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own." A Superman remix, a Paradise Lost remix, an A-Team remix, and so of course, plenty of lube.

    3. Jeff Koons

    Watchmen S1E3, "She Was Killed by Space Junk." The official least interesting part is junk. Phone booths, Brecht and jokes, Midwestern crypts. Who's the ward of the game warden?

    T.S. Eliot, the Kaiser's propaganda, and a magnet. It wouldn't be Watchmen, or Lindelof, without extended flashbacks.

    We walk through Watchmen S1E1, "It's Summer and We're Running Out of Ice." Brechtian storytelling, not asking Robert Redford's permission, and Don Johnson's triumphant return to on-screen cocaine use. Were your thighs chafed?

    We start our show with reflections on how we found Watchmen and how it found us, reflections on influence, and anticipation.
