Podcasts about Watchmen

This week the Bad Dads take on Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime classic: part cyberpunk biker movie, part psychic apocalypse, part body-horror nightmare, and still one of the most influential animated films ever made.What We CoveredThe motorcycle connection: Sidey picked Akira partly off the back of motorcycle week, with the famous “Akira slide” still instantly recognisable decades later.Neo-Tokyo and the set-up: The Dads discuss the opening destruction of Tokyo, the rebuilt dystopian city, biker gangs, riots, unemployment, militarised politics and general “not a happy place” energy.Kaneda, Tetsuo and the Capsules: Kaneda's iconic red bike, Tetsuo's resentment, the gang hierarchy, and the way their childhood friendship feeds the film's final emotional punch.The psychic test subjects: Takashi, the other child-like espers, the hospital experiments, telekinesis, hallucinations, and the film's blend of sci-fi plot with surreal nightmare imagery.Tetsuo's transformation: From headaches and glass-of-water Force powers to satellite lasers, a metal arm, body horror, and a final monstrous collapse into flesh, pain and chaos.Akira himself: The reveal that Akira is not really “the guy on the bike”, but a dissected psychic force preserved in jars under the Olympic Stadium.The animation: Reegs praises the film's restless visual movement; Dan says the craft makes you forget any resistance to animation; Sidey calls the full-mutant Tetsuo sequence incredible.Influence and legacy: The gang spot echoes and connections to The Matrix, Drive, Watchmen, 2001, Clockwork Orange, The Warriors, Godzilla destruction, and later anime/body-horror culture.Subtitles vs dubbing: Dan finds an English version in the “depths of the internet”, while others stick with Japanese and subtitles.Cris watch status: Cris did not get to the film because he could not find it properly and refused to watch it on a phone — fair, frankly.Key Quotes / Moments“There's very little ball content in Akira.”“The Akira slide… one of the most famous shots in animation.”“It's like the Force, but way more destructive.”“I'm in the revolution, mate. I'm busy.”“SOL Campbell” as the orbital laser gag. Obviously.“It wasn't quite Dogtanian.”VerdictA strong recommend from the Dads. Sidey calls it a great gateway into anime, Dan enjoys it more than expected and finds the animation absorbing, and Reegs loves the film's kinetic craft and cultural footprint. Cris remains technically unconverted, but tempted.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Friend, have you ever felt like you had to earn God's love?Like if you prayed more, performed better, got your act together, or stopped struggling, then maybe God would finally be pleased with you?This week's conversation on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast is a powerful reminder that God's love was never something you had to earn in the first place.I sat down with Jazmine Davis, founder of SWAT HQ Ministries, evangelist, podcast host of God Really Likes You, and a woman whose story is filled with the transforming grace of God.Jasmine shares her incredible testimony of encountering Jesus at age 33 after spending years writing bestselling books that pulled her further away from God. What began as her self-declared “Jesus Year” became a life-changing encounter with the love of Christ that completely redirected her future.Together, we talk about freedom from condemnation, breaking free from works-based Christianity, healing from trauma, understanding our identity in Christ, and learning to approach God as beloved children rather than exhausted performers.One of the most powerful truths from our conversation is this:You are not fighting for God's approval.You are living from it.If you've ever struggled with shame, fear, anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling like you're never doing enough for God, this episode will remind you that Jesus already finished the work.Bio:Jazmine Davis is a faith-driven leader, speaker, and the founder of SWAT Ministries (Spirit's Watchmen and Trailblazers), a ministry dedicated to helping women break free from guilt, shame, and condemnation, and step into the radical love of God they were never told was theirs.Jazmine's story is one of redemption. After growing up in church and Christian school, she walked through her own prodigal season, wandering far from the Father's house and becoming a bestselling romance and erotica writer for nearly a decade. But God never stopped loving her. And when He gently called her home, she discovered the heartbeat of everything she does today: God still loves you. Yes, even there. Yes, even now.Today she hosts the God Really Likes You podcast, leads weekly Bible studies, and curates Wander and Vow, luxury retreats designed to immerse women in truth, beauty, and the unhurried presence of God. She is a graduate of CORE College in the Ministry of Healing and Deliverance, a Certified Crisis Counselor, a Certified Evangelist, and holds a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from Oakwood University.When she's not ministering, Jazmine is a wife and mother who loves a good book, a hiking trail, and her next trip with her family. She lives by Proverbs 31:25, "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." About SWAT HQ MinistriesSWAT HQ Ministries is a search-and-rescue ministry helping believers move from condemnation, guilt, fear, and shame into secure attachment with the Father and freedom through Jesus Christ.Anchor Verses:Hebrews 10:14Proverbs 31:25Joshua 1:8Connect with Jasmine Davis and SWAT HQ Ministries:Website: swathq.coPodcast: God Really Likes YouFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581052922177IG: https://www.instagram.com/jazz_with_swat Upcoming Online EventI Am FastBegins June 17Theme: “I Am God's Child”Helping believers exchange labels, wounds, and trauma-based identities for God's truth about who they are.***We love hearing from you!

This week on Myopia Movies, we put on the mask, stare into the abyss, and then complain about the lighting. We dust off a paywall episode this week as we watch Watchmen—the most philosophical superhero movie ever made, or at least the one most likely to assign you homework afterward. Join us as we unpack a world where superheroes are less “save the day” and more “deeply complicate geopolitics.” We wrestle with questions like: Is Rorschach a moral absolutist… or just the world's angriest inkblot? How does Dr. Manhattan make omnipotence feel like a midlife crisis? And is Ozymandias the smartest man alive—or just really good at PowerPoint presentations with catastrophic consequences? We dive into Zack Snyder's ultra-stylized adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary graphic novel, debating whether it captures the spirit of the original—or just lovingly recreates it in slow motion. Also: we try to determine if any superhero team has ever had worse workplace chemistry, and whether the giant blue nudist is actually the least weird part of this movie. Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you? Purchase something from our wish list!  We are riffers on Cineprov! Check us out!! How will Watchmen hold up? Directed by: Zack Snyder Starring: Malin Åkerman as Laurie Jupiter / Silk Spectre II Patrick Wilson as Dan Dreiberg / Nite Owl II Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan Matthew Goode as Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Edward Blake / The Comedian Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter / Silk Spectre

Cartoonist Jim Rugg joins Dave to discuss The Marvel Age of Comics: Weapon X, his deep-dive into Barry Windsor-Smith's seminal 1991 Wolverine story, originally serialized in Marvel Comics Presents.Rugg talks about the project's origin, why he considers it one of Marvel's all-time greatest works, and how Windsor-Smith's pre-digital coloring techniques remain unmatched. The new book is a comic companion to the Bloomsbury music book series : 33 1/3The two discuss where Weapon X fits alongside Dark Knight and Watchmen as bronze age touchstones, the story's hidden religious symbolism, Retro Causality, and why a naked killer with claws is scarier than a clothed one.Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/davengersdirecteditionFind Jim Rugg here: https://www.jimrugg.com/https://www.instagram.com/jimruggart/?hl=enhttps://powerpulpcomics.com/directeditionpodcast.com

Sunday Sermon // Pastor Ed Romero // Isaiah 56:9-12

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.

Welcome to the Season 7 Finale of Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick! For our Season 7 Finale, Beth welcomes her long time friend, Emmy-award winning director and executive producer, Frederick E. O. Toye. Fred has been a part of some of the BEST television made in the last 25 years. In addition to being a treasure trove of stories and Hollywood history, he was a delightful guest. A big thank you to Fred for donating his time to speak to us.  Thank you for listening to Season 7 of Decorating the Set and we can’t wait to see you for Season 8!  The Interview with Fred begins at Time Code: 3:50 Join the Decorating the Set Community by subscribing to our Official Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/decoratingthesetpodcast)! Interact with Beth, Caroline, Producer Mike, and all of the DTS listeners! GUEST BIO: FREDERICK E. O. TOYE   Frederick E. O. Toye is an American television director and executive producer. Toye made the move into television directing after working for five years as a production assistant and a decade as an editor. This background in the editing room gave him a solid sense of how to tell a clear story, which helped considerably in his work on such complex series as Chuck (NBC 2007–12) and Fringe (Fox 2008–13). Los Angeles native Toye got his first screen credit working as a production assistant on Billy Crystal’s 1989 HBO special Midnight Train to Moscow, before moving into visual effects on films like The Addams Family (1991) and then working as an assistant editor on hit films such as Forrest Gump (1994) and Men in Black (1997). As a TV director, Toye cut his teeth on network TV action and sci-fi thrillers like Alias, Lost, and Fringe and has also worked on character-rich dramas such as The Good Wife. That experience running the gamut between drama genres served Toye well in recent years, directing episodes of genre series like Westworld, Snowpiercer, Watchmen and The Walking Dead. In 2024, his prolific output included The Boys and Fallout. The same year, Toye received acclaim for his work on Shōgun, helming four episodes of the Emmy-winning FX drama series, including season finale “A Dream of a Dream.” The season’s penultimate episode, “Crimson Sky,” earned Toye his first-ever Emmy for outstanding directing, which was also Toye’s first-ever career nomination in the category. Toye followed it up by directing the pilot episode of Prime Video's prequel series The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, starring Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitsch. He set to direct the opening episodes of the Prime Video series Bloodaxe and God of War. ### For over 35 years, Beth Kushnick has created character-driven settings for countless award-winning television series and feature films.

Watchmen part 5 by Pastor Zerubbabel Mengistu May 31 2026 by Beza International Ministries

WATCHMEN Prayer Part 3 By Pastor Zerubbabel Mengistu May 17 2026 by Beza International Ministries

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. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

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
