Podcasts about Watchmen

Alan Moore has just finished writing Book 3 of his Long London Quintet — and he sat down with Rosie to talk about it. In a wide-ranging conversation, the legendary writer of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell takes us into "the other London": the hidden city of lost magicians, gangsters, and forgotten showmen that runs beneath the one everyone else sees. They get into why he declared himself a magician in 1993 and then had to live up to it, why prose is the most elegant art form ever invented, why he's done with comics (again), and what the riots of 1968 have to teach us right now. He closes with a message for these times: love and fight.

We Watched the Watchmen (2009). The 200s most underdiscussed super hero movie, we are going to Deconstruct the Deconstructors in this weeks episode, looking at how the 1980s alternate history comic by Alan Moore was adapted for a late-2000s audience by Zach Snyder. Watchmen as a movie fits perfectly in the 2000s as a reaction to the suite of movies that had come out in the decade–as it itself is a criticism of myth, exceptionalism, and marketing. We are joined by Discourse Stu of Marvelous!

One small step into the wrong classroom becomes a giant leap into a new life as a Shakespearean actor. That's how Jacob Ming-Trent tells it in his remarkable one-man tour-de-force, How Shakespeare Saved My Life. As the Folger prepares to welcome How Shakespeare Saved My Life to the stage this June, Ming-Trent joins us to delve deeper into his story. Ming-Trent is no stranger to the Folger stage, having previously presented How Shakespeare Saved My Life at the 2024 Reading Room Festival and portrayed Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream in 2022. A multitalented stage and screen actor, he has appeared in Broadway musicals from Gypsy to Shrek, television series like Watchmen and Ray Donovan, and films including The Forty-Year-Old Version and Friendship. In this episode, Ming-Trent presents Shakespeare as an urban poet in the vein of Tupac and Biggie. He breaks down the inspiration behind How Shakespeare Saved My Life and how he brings his own experience to his interpretation of Shakespeare's words, rearranging and reframing them to create something uniquely personal.

In this powerful Mother's Day message, Pastor Kaily delivers a prophetic call to the Church: it's time for the watchmen to awaken and take their stand. Through the stories of Jehu, Jezebel, and the biblical role of the watchman, this message confronts spiritual compromise, fear, passivity, and the cultural battles shaping our nation—while calling believers to live awake, holy, and fully surrendered to the voice of God. This message is a charge to both women and men to recognize their God-given watch post, intercede for their homes, cities, and nation, and steward the vision God has entrusted to them with obedience and faith. As revival and reformation begin to stir, Pastor Kaily reminds us that this is not the hour to sleep—it's the hour to pray, stand firm, and birth holiness in the earth.

“Do you want to be right or do you want to be interesting?” Yahya Abdul-Mateen II In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, we sit down with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II for a candid and inspiring conversation about the road that led him to becoming one of Hollywood's most compelling actors. Full of energy, spunk and true authenticity, Yahya lets his guard down with Ryan, Channing and Fred- revealing a side of deep pain that has led to difficult healing as well as giving us a glimpse into the traits that make him one of film industry's most sought-after leading men. Yahya opens up about his childhood, sharing what it was like growing up from Louisiana to Oakland and how his upbringing and community helped shape his voice, work ethic, and backbone in creativity. He takes us behind the scenes of his unconventional journey into acting—from his aspirations of architecture and building to taking a leap of faith into acting classes and fully committing to the craft. Yahya reflects on the risks he took, the doubts he faced, and the defining moments that pushed him forward, offering insight into the discipline it took to break into a competitive industry. The conversation also dives into his standout roles across major hit projects like Aquaman, The Trial of the Chicago 7, and Watchmen—the latter earning him critical acclaim and an Emmy Award. Yahya shares how he approaches complex characters and prepares for emotionally demanding performances, giving listeners a deeper understanding of his creative process. A highlight of the conversation is his discussion of stepping into his latest role, starring as John Creasy in Netflix's new series Man on Fire, famously portrayed by Denzel Washington. Yahya explains how he honors the legacy of the performance while making the role his own—bringing a fresh perspective, new emotional layers, and a distinct physical presence that reflects his personal interpretation. He goes on to share that choosing to be interesting is more impactful than being right, which is a philosophy that he has used to separate himself from others in his craft. Grounded, thoughtful, and refreshingly honest, Yahya gives us a deeper look at the mindset, resilience, and purpose behind his rise—making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in creativity, reinvention, and chasing purpose beyond comfort.

Pastor Scott Lamb opens the West Las Vegas Conference with a powerful Monday night message on prayer, persistence, and the supernatural work of God.From Isaiah 62:6, he challenges believers to stop treating prayer like a quick transaction and start embracing it as relentless spiritual labor. Jesus taught us to ask, seek, knock, and keep knocking. The delay does not mean God is ignoring you. It means prayer is doing something deeper than you can see.This message is a direct call back to fervent prayer, morning prayer, and faith that refuses to quit.OFFERING00:00 Unity in Giving and Support05:00 The Importance of Conferences and EvangelismMESSAGE08:29 The Power of Prayer17:56 Understanding the Nature of Prayer36:16 God's Command on Prayer and Spiritual Understanding39:08 The Realities of Prayer45:03 The Purpose of Prayer in God's Plan49:39 The Nature of Effective Prayer58:04 The Role of Watchmen in Prayer01:04:36 The Relentless Nature of Prayer01:12:04 The Call to Action in PrayerShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

In the eighteenth century, Samuel Johnson famously argued that Shakespeare is enduringly popular because he “is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.” Johnson's view largely prevailed until the late twentieth century, when it was challenged by a growing scepticism about the existence of a general human nature. In Thinking Through Shakespeare (Princeton UP, 2026), eminent literary critic David Womersley pushes back against this change by exploring how Shakespeare's plays think through—and invite us to think through—deep human questions of lasting importance.Thinking Through Shakespeare explores four perennial human problems: personal identity, the distinction between civilization and barbarism, the relation between political power and religious authority and the tension between means and ends. It examines the history of these problems, from antiquity to today, and traces how Shakespeare engages with them in the great tragedies—Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear—but also in his other plays. Without arguing that human nature is universal or unchanging, or that Shakespeare has some special access to timeless wisdom, the book makes the case that his drama is powerful because it serves as a forensic tool, probing rival perspectives on questions that have preoccupied many people in many societies over many centuries.By revealing in new ways how Shakespeare's plays are animated and driven by central human problems, and why he should again be viewed as the great poet of human nature, Thinking Through Shakespeare opens up a richer understanding and appreciation of his work. David Womersley is the Thomas Warton Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford. His books include Divinity and State, Gibbon and the “Watchmen of the Holy City” and The Transformation of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He is also the editor of many books, including the Penguin Classics editions of Gibbons's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson and David Hume's complete essays. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Historical Society. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

In the eighteenth century, Samuel Johnson famously argued that Shakespeare is enduringly popular because he “is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.” Johnson's view largely prevailed until the late twentieth century, when it was challenged by a growing scepticism about the existence of a general human nature. In Thinking Through Shakespeare (Princeton UP, 2026), eminent literary critic David Womersley pushes back against this change by exploring how Shakespeare's plays think through—and invite us to think through—deep human questions of lasting importance.Thinking Through Shakespeare explores four perennial human problems: personal identity, the distinction between civilization and barbarism, the relation between political power and religious authority and the tension between means and ends. It examines the history of these problems, from antiquity to today, and traces how Shakespeare engages with them in the great tragedies—Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear—but also in his other plays. Without arguing that human nature is universal or unchanging, or that Shakespeare has some special access to timeless wisdom, the book makes the case that his drama is powerful because it serves as a forensic tool, probing rival perspectives on questions that have preoccupied many people in many societies over many centuries.By revealing in new ways how Shakespeare's plays are animated and driven by central human problems, and why he should again be viewed as the great poet of human nature, Thinking Through Shakespeare opens up a richer understanding and appreciation of his work. David Womersley is the Thomas Warton Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford. His books include Divinity and State, Gibbon and the “Watchmen of the Holy City” and The Transformation of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He is also the editor of many books, including the Penguin Classics editions of Gibbons's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson and David Hume's complete essays.

When the groundbreaking comic series "The Watchmen" ended its run in 1987, Hollywood came calling to make a movie. The story that could not be filmed went through a number of A-List actors and directors before it finally hit the theaters in 2009. Following the underwhelming theatrical film, television and comic books have tried to carry on the legacy of "The Watchmen" with varied success commercially and critically. Join Ty and RD as the discuss the failed and completed projects associated with "The Watchmen"Download the episode for free.

John and Jim witness Sylvester McCoy's entrance as the Seventh Doctor with sharply divided first impressions, a regeneration Jim wasn't expecting to see, Kate O'Mara's scene-stealing Mel impression, and listener mail exploding with passionate defenses, dire warnings, and Shag's triumphant return. The Regeneration Confusion: The opening delivers McCoy in a wig tumbling around the TARDIS console, but does blunt force trauma from turbulence really count as a dignified send-off for the most maligned Doctor? The Rani's pre-credits kidnapping analyzed as "probably the campiest scene in Doctor Who ever." Jim's Verdict: Not Impressed Opening confession sets the tone for controversy: Jim dubs McCoy "the Tumbler Doctor" and struggles to see anything beyond "Uncle Morty's Carnival of Fun" children's show host energy. Discussion covers whether this is purposeful Troughton homage or just broad physical comedy, whether McCoy's acting reads as awkward versus committed, and Jim's struggle between respecting the evolution promise versus judging what's actually on screen in Part 1. The "Children's Show" Debate: Does Season 24 represent a deliberate pivot back to Doctor Who as kids' programming? Jim raises the uncomfortable question after recognizing McCoy primarily as BBC children's performer. John pushes back on the script but concedes the Doctor's characterization in this story absolutely plays as juvenile. Kate O'Mara's Double Duty: Extended appreciation for Kate's Bonnie Langford impression complete with chirpiness, voice work, and gradually losing it as the Doctor frustrates her. Jim admits the initial visual shock of "seeing Kate O'Mara as Bonnie Langford" but acknowledges she won him over. The hosts debate whether the Rani gets enough screen time and whether this story serves the character as well as "Mark of the Rani." What Happened to Mel?: Jim calls out the regression: "They took the Mickey Mouse out of Mel." From confident agency in Trial to suggesting they just leave and go back to the TARDIS, plus scream count reaching numbers 5-7 in just two episodes. Is this the Mel we admired or has she become Peri 2.0? John defends specific moments (the flip, proving identity, computer knowledge) while acknowledging some scenes don't look good. The Icona chemistry tease explored. Production Highlights: The bubble traps earn universal praise as maybe the best effect in Classic Who history—the spinning, bouncing, exploding sequence perfectly executed. Tetraps debut Doctor Who's first animatronics with six full heads for the leisure center scene. The Citadel exterior combined with effects impresses. Jim notes "effects are better—they made another jump." Malapropisms and Outfits: McCoy's word-mangling wears out its welcome fast for both hosts. The trying-on-previous-Doctors'-outfits sequence judged as "too winky winky" and unnecessary fanservice. Discovery that "Mrs. Malaprop" comes from 1775 play The Rivals. The question mark vest that McCoy hated. The Bowery Boys comparison for hat and coat. The Leisure Center Problem: Why introduce this massive 80s-heavy concept (complete with Dugadoos music) in Part 3 only to abandon it? Discussion of wasted opportunities and typical Doctor Who late-story concept bloat. The anklet bracelets vs. original "ball of bees" control method questioned. Production Context: JNT wanted out, BBC couldn't find replacement, Sidney Newman brought in as consultant with idea to bring back Troughton traveling with old-fashioned 12-year-old Beatles fan. The "impish person" concept stuck. McCoy cast from Twelfth Night production same night Cubby Broccoli saw Timothy Dalton for Bond. Andrew Cartmel signs as new story editor influenced by Judge Dredd and Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen. Ratings: 5.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.9—not good. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive (Monday - Episode 167): Comic "The Gift" (four parts, not one or three!), more music, Memory TARDIS with Colin now added to the wheel, and Big Finish audio Flip Flop featuring Seventh Doctor and Mel. Main Feed (Friday) & Patreon (Monday): "Paradise Towers" - John handling narration for the four-part story.

Lila Byock is a mum who got mad about how much time her young son was spending on an iPad in the classroom. He was a math whiz with traditional teaching, and then his ability and his enthusiasm for numbers tanked. But she didn't just get mad, she got organized. Lila Byock is an Emmy award-winning writer and producer behind shows like HBO's "Watchmen" and "The Leftovers". She founded a grassroots coalition of parents and teachers called Schools Beyond Screens to rein in excessive device use and advocate for policies that put face-to-face learning at the center of teaching.

Two entertainment and media powerhouses are likely to become one. So why aren't the artists happy about it?Backlash against a possible merger between the media companies Paramount Skydance and Warner Brothers Discovery increased this week when more than 2,000 actors, writers and directors signed a letter opposing the deal. The letter warns that the merger will result in “fewer opportunities for creators, fewer jobs across the production ecosystem, higher costs, and less choice for audiences in the United States and around the world.”  Damon Lindelof created "The Leftovers", "Watchmen" and helped create the hit series "Lost." He was one of the artists to sign the letter, and he explains his decision to NPR's Mary Louise Kelly. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Marc Rivers and Karen Zamora.It was edited by Christopher Intagliata and Courtney Dorning.Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

What a treat we've got this week! Today I'm joined by my good friend Larry Fong, ASC to talk about his work on Zack Snyder's 300 (which inexplicably turned 20 last month) as well as 2009's Watchmen. Larry also has a new movie that just came out on Hulu called Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice that we touch on towards the end.If you're anything like me, 300 and Watchmen were incredibly influential films while I was a budding filmmaker, and this conversation was absolutely wonderful to have with such an incredible DP as Larry.

[School of Movies 2026] Robert Rodriguez reaches his masterpiece. This film is truly magnificent as an adaptation of cinema to the aesthetics and hallmarks of this particular pitch black graphic novel series. It seems like every element combined in swift, smooth and effortlessly striking fashion as this sleazy, stark crime opera anthology drew on every skill Robert had learned over the 90s and somehow focused all of his haphazard digital work into one infinitely sharp point. The flourishes of colour and thundering automobiles hypnotising us like deer in the darkness of a snowy woodland road. It was also blessed with an astonishing cast; Mickey Rourke making a comeback that would lead him to The Wrestler (2008), Bruce Willis in one of his last great performances, Clive Owen at his snarling hungriest, Rosario Dawson setting the screen on fire, Benicio Del Toro as a powder-keg of entitled misogyny, Michael Clarke Duncan delivering a captivating Terminator-Bear hybrid, Rutger Hauer, Powers Booth and Nick Stahl as the most detestable richly-connected psychopath villains imaginable, and even little Elijah Wood chilling our blood by playing a sprightly cannibal who neither talks nor blinks. Bringing in Frank Miller himself and crediting him as co-director while humbly taking the mantle of the man who ‘Shoots and Cuts', Robert was able to make this feel extraordinary in a way its imitators, including Zack Snyder's 300 (2006) and Watchmen (2009), Frank Miller's own The Spirit (2008) and even Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For (2014) could not possibly match. And folks supporting us for five bucks on our Patreon bonus feed can, this coming weekend hear all about how that second film imploded.

Calls for the Department of Justice's Inspector General to step in and investigate the handling of the Epstein files release have intensified as delays, contradictions, and shifting explanations continue to pile up. What began as cautious skepticism has hardened into open frustration from lawmakers, transparency advocates, and legal experts who argue that the DOJ's conduct no longer passes the smell test. Despite Congress passing legislation mandating disclosure, the DOJ has repeatedly claimed it needs years to review and redact millions of documents—an assertion that critics say directly conflicts with the government's long-standing position that Epstein was thoroughly investigated years ago. If the material was already reviewed, categorized, and litigated over in past prosecutions and civil cases, the argument goes, then the idea that it suddenly requires a near-decade scrub looks less like due diligence and more like institutional stalling.As a result, pressure has mounted for the Inspector General to examine whether the DOJ is acting in good faith or deliberately slow-walking compliance to shield itself from embarrassment, exposure, or liability. Lawmakers have raised concerns that the department may be protecting its own past misconduct—failed prosecutions, ignored evidence, sweetheart deals, and inter-agency breakdowns—by burying the record under procedural excuses. Survivor advocates have echoed those demands, warning that endless delays amount to a second betrayal, one that favors bureaucratic self-preservation over transparency and accountability. With every missed deadline and shifting justification, calls for an independent IG probe grow louder, fueled by the belief that the only way the public will ever learn the truth about Epstein's protection is if the DOJ is investigated by someone who doesn't have a vested interest in keeping the lid on.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Delayed release of Epstein files triggers calls for internal watchdog review - CBS News

What happens when two people from completely different generations—each carrying their own hidden scars—find healing through an unexpected friendship? In this powerful episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with rising young actor Luke David Blumm to talk about his role in the deeply moving new film The Optimist. Luke shares insights from working on major projects like Where the Crawdads Sing, The King of Staten Island, and hit TV series including The Walking Dead, Watchmen, and The Sinner. At the heart of today's conversation is The Optimist, inspired by the true story of Holocaust survivor Herbert Heller—and the unexpected friendship that helps bring long-buried trauma into the light. This episode explores intergenerational healing, resilience, and the profound transformation that happens when we are finally seen, heard, and understood.
