Podcasts about Watchmen

Turning our August into an unofficial superheroes month on the podcast, this week we review the new Damon Lindelof-led entry in the DC Universe: Lanterns on HBO. We talk comics, the vision of James Gunn's cinematic world-building, and the star-studded cast of this sneaky superhero series. After a shaky and disappointing Supergirl in theaters, can Lanterns right the ship of DC adaptations? Or is James Gunn's new universe burning up before it even takes off?

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the deepening monetary morass surrounding Mark Walter and whether it will eventually ensnare the Dodgers, the struggles of Edwin Díaz and Kyle Tucker, L.A.’s incentive to try for a bye, the Dodgers’ and Mets’ offseason oopsies, Pete Crow-Armstrong’s heroics, the hot hitting of Denae Benites and the WPBL’s offensive environment, Joshua Báez and MLB’s debutant ball, Colt Emerson’s hidden hurt, the AL’s wild card mid-off, a four-team whirlwind for Jake Rogers, the longest team trade droughts, and more.

Marvel finally put the MCU X-Men cast on stage at D23, and Adam Driver as Mister Sinister might not even be the most interesting name on the list. Frank and Thomas break down the new Avengers: Doomsday trailer, the full X-Men lineup, the X-Men '97 season 2 finale, and the Lanterns premiere on HBO. The Doomsday conversation starts where most fan reactions did, with Robert Downey Jr.'s voice under the Doom mask, and moves into power scaling against Thor, the Reed and Victor history the trailer is quietly setting up, and which legacy characters are unlikely to survive December 18. From there it's the casting reveals: Christopher Abbott as a much younger Professor X, a Magneto without the Holocaust backstory, Inde Navarrette stepping into a role Lenore Zann has owned for three decades, and Maya Boyd going from Broadway to Storm with no screen credits at all. The back half turns critical. X-Men '97 season 2 lands an 8 out of 10 from both hosts, with a long argument about why the resurrection plotting undercut Nightcrawler's sacrifice and why the middle stretch never matched the Egypt episodes. Then it's full spoilers on Lanterns, including the ending, the Watchmen and True Detective fingerprints all over it, and predictions about the 2016 timeline and where Guy Gardner fits. 0:00 December 18 plans, Dune vs. Avengers Doomsday 2:20 Avengers Doomsday trailer, Doom's voice and power scaling 9:15 The MCU X-Men cast reveal from D23 22:50 Vision Quest first look and the case for bringing Ultron back 26:23 Star Wars Starfighter and the rest of the D23 slate 27:55 X-Men '97 season 2 finale review and grades 38:41 Lanterns series premiere, full spoilers 55:33 Weekly recommendations Key takeaways The Doomsday trailer sold Doom as a real successor to Thanos, largely on the strength of one shot stopping Stormbreaker and throwing Thor back. Marvel is casting the X-Men young on purpose. Magneto reportedly loses the Holocaust background entirely because of it, which Thomas calls pivotal enough to worry about. Inde Navarrette reads as an early, guarded Rogue rather than the fully powered version from the comics or X-Men '97, and the real question is how she sounds next to Lenore Zann's voice. Adam Driver as Mister Sinister lines up with the gene manipulation groundwork already laid in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. X-Men '97 season 2 gets an 8 from both hosts. The voice work, especially A.J. LoCascio's shift once Gambit takes back control, holds up even where the pacing does not. Lanterns plays like prestige HBO rather than DCU house style, and its best material is the pilot's first five minutes and the jailhouse interrogation, not the constructs. Quotes "How many times can you kill Patrick Stewart?" (Thomas, on the Doomsday casualty list) "This one felt like, oh, all hands on deck." (Thomas, on the Doomsday trailer) "The idea of resurrecting somebody needs to feel impossible to you." (Frank, on X-Men '97 season 2) "There's this cognitive dissonance for me with this season." (Thomas, on grading X-Men '97) "Both these men are living false perspectives of what it means to be a hero." (Frank, on Hal and John in Lanterns) All news covered on this episode comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com, including the full D23 announcement roundup and the footage that never got an official release.

¿Es Lanterns la True Detective del nuevo universo DC? Analizamos sin spoilers la nueva serie de HBO, protagonizada por Kyle Chandler como Hal Jordan y Aaron Pierre como John Stewart, dos Green Lanterns obligados a trabajar juntos en una misteriosa investigación. En este Razones para Ver, analizamos qué funciona y qué no en Lanterns: la química entre Hal Jordan y John Stewart, su sorprendente tono de thriller criminal, la influencia de True Detective y Watchmen, el uso de los poderes de Green Lantern, su reparto secundario y la forma en la que la serie encaja dentro del nuevo DCU de James Gunn. ¿Funciona Green Lantern mejor como una serie detectivesca que como una gran aventura espacial? ¿Son Kyle Chandler y Aaron Pierre los Hal Jordan y John Stewart que necesitaba el DCU? Lanterns se estrena el 17 de agosto en HBO Max.

Wenn Leute den Namen Chris Evans hören, denken sie sicherlich oftmals unweigerlich an Captain America und das Marvel Universum. Oder wenn Sie den Namen Jeffrey Dean Morgan hören, denken sicherlich so einige an THE WALKING DEAD, THE BOYS oder WATCHMEN. Viele Darsteller haben Ihre großen Paraderollen, die einem sofort in den Kopf schießen.Doch Sophia und Daniel wollen heute mal auf Filme großer Darsteller schauen, die oftmals eher unter dem Radar fliegen und einigen eventuell eher unbekannt sind. So sprechen sie zum Beispiel über PAPER MAN mit Ryan Reynolds und Emma Stone oder THE LOSERS mit Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana und Jeffrey Dean Morgan und noch einige weitere Filme. Falls Ihr noch diverse Filmperlen dadurch entdecken wollt, verpasst nicht die aktuelle Episode von RUHE IM SAAL.——

Do they come any cooler than Jeffrey Dean Morgan? Don't let the leater and the sunglasses fool you though, this guy is as self-deprecating and humble as they come, despite a genre resume most would kill for -- The Walking Dead, The Boys, Supernatural, Watchmen, the list goes on and on.

Forty years after Watchmen forever changed the comics landscape, legendary artist and colorist John Higgins joins the Bandits to reflect on his pivotal role in one of the medium's most influential works. On this episode, John discusses the groundbreaking color palette that helped define Watchmen's unmistakable atmosphere, his multiple collaborations with Alan Moore, and how the series continues to inspire creators four decades later. The conversation also explores John's distinguished career beyond Watchmen, his work as both an artist and colorist, the evolution of comic coloring over the years, and the enduring impact that thoughtful visual storytelling can have on generations of readers. You can follow John on his site, artofjohnhiggins.com, on Instagram @johnhigginsrazorjack, or on Facebook @turmoilcolourstudios. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For decades, many of us in the watchmen community have spent endless hours giving blow-by-blow updates on world events, warning the body of Christ, and keeping watch. But over the past few weeks, a strange and powerful occurance has taken place across the prophetic body; God is bringing many well-trusted, faithful watchmen to an "end before the end."Through a clear, undeniable conviction of the Holy Spirit, the message has been made plain: the assignment of endless posting and tracking every event has reached its full measure. It is finished, and that season is now behind us.This is not a retreat or a surrender. As long as we are on this earth, we will run our race full and strong until our very last breath and the sound of the last trumpet. But our posture has changed. God is calling us to step away from the constant noise and enter into a season of quiet preparation, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Lord is extremely near.If you have felt that same heavy shift in your spirit, you are not alone. Watch this message to understand what the Holy Spirit is saying to the bride in this final hour.“I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.” ― Elisabeth Elliot, Through Gates of Splendor#Watchmen #Separationfromtheworld #Rapture #JoanieStahlsFieldNotes

Hey, we uploaded the right review this time! We finish off our superhero month with two of its most controversial titles - and we start with Watchmen! The world will ask Double H if he liked the movie, and we'll whsiper....no.

Joing the Fellow Believers crew today with Pastor Jeff Weiss, Luke Tibor and Trent Loos.Husband and wife team RC Williams and Julianna Ormond are the co-founders of Watchmen Action — a mission born from their success with Sherloc, their market research firm, and a growing conviction that the Church needed to be equipped, not just inspired, to engage the culture.After discovering a critical gap between believers who wanted to take action and the tools that could help them do it, RC and Julianna created Watchmen Action to bridge that divide. Their rapid-deployment training model gets individuals and groups from passion to action in less than a day — with a focused story, a mobilized team, and tools to measure what's working.

There's so so SO much stuff to cover, we just hit record and took our eyes off the clock. We go through all the big player companies (and a few surprises as well) to bring you the biggest review of San Diego Comic-Con 2026 ever! Who wins? Who surprises us? Who dissapoints us?

Comics Corner returns! Connor and Harry discuss Alan More's magnum opus, Watchmen (1986), Zack Snyder's 2009 film adaptation, and why this celebrated graphic novel ruined the comics industry.

Sodless Godomitess, assemble! Tonight, we're taking on the AVENGERS...that Marvel has the rights to! IMPORTANT NOTE - We accidentally uploaded our Watchmen review, but it is officially Avengers time now!

This morning I want to share some witnesses of healing with you. Before I share them, I want to talk with you about how important it is to enlist others to pray with you and for you as well. I am on several prayer chains. In case you aren't sure what that means, let me explain. It is a group of people who offer to intercede on your behalf. A lot of churches have a prayer line where you can call in or email in a prayer request, and then whoever is in charge will email it out to all who volunteered to help pray. Also, it may be the members of a prayer group, or another group that has a group chat. I am in three different WhatsApp groups, and we send prayer requests when we have them, and then everyone on the chat prays for the person requesting prayer. If your church does not have a prayer line, consider starting one. It is as easy as setting up an email address where people can send in requests. For instance, I started one at St. J's collaborative in MA. So I went on Gmail and created an email account name that is St.Jsprayerline@gmail.com. Then I put an announcement in the bulletin looking for people who would be willing to pray for any requests that came in. There are 42 people who volunteered to be on that email list. Now, people send in prayer requests, and at least 42 other people are praying for them. For the various WhatsApp groups, there are different numbers of people in each group. There are a lot of reasons why we may not want to ask for prayers. We may not want people to know we are struggling. We may not want to worry people. We may not think our struggle is important enough to bother people with. We may think God has more important prayers to answer. We may think other people are too busy to pray for us. Whatever it is that we might be thinking, the truth is, no one is too busy to say a quick prayer. Another truth is that there is so much power in asking people to pray for you. There is so much power in multiple people interceding on your behalf. You do not have to suffer in silence. You do not have to just deal. Ask people to pray. Also, we get graces every time we pray. So asking others to pray is actually helping them out too!   Here are a few prayer requests and responses from the various prayer groups. This woman had asked for prayers because she had to go to the eye doctor. The pressure was high in her eyes, and they said she needed to come back for a follow-up. If it was still high, they were going to need to do surgery. The doctor seemed pretty sure that they were going to need to do surgery. Here was her text the next day. “Good evening, Prayer Warriors. JESUS DID IT AGAIN! The test for my eyes was normal - the pressure was low, under 20! YES - HE DID IT AGAIN - what a wonderful GOD we serve. Thank you for your prayer this morning. God bless you all.”   Next is a woman whose uncle has been refusing to eat. He was having dreams of his wife who had passed away telling him not to eat, so he wasn't. We prayed at our prayer meeting that he would start eating, and here is her text message afterward. “Good morning, Watchmen.  My uncle just asked for food. Thank you for your intercession. May God continue to bless all of you, and may He answer your prayers speedily!”   Next, I have the specific prayer request and the text message reply. Dear Sisters, I ask for your prayers for my friend. He is young, in his late 40s. Tomorrow morning he is having a very complicated open-heart surgery to replace one of the valves. This is his third surgery, and it's a complicated one because of complications from an enlarged heart/aorta. Her reply after the surgery? “I wanted to update you that my friend has come through his open heart surgery successfully yesterday and is in the ICU. Thank you for your prayers and intentions. God bless you all.”   Here is the next prayer request and answer. “Good morning, watchmen. Please keep me in your prayers. The director of the agency that I work for has recommended me for a promotion at the agency's headquarters. There are two other candidates, but the director just told me she would rather have me in that position due to my work ethic. Good morning, beautiful people of God. God has done it! The prophecy came to pass.  I got the promotion!!! Please help me praise God for his divine mercy and provision.  May God do unto you all the marvelous things he has done for me.” This woman did not even know there was a promotion available. She did not seek it out; her boss came to her, told her about it, and told her to apply. She not only got this promotion, but she got a second job that she had been looking for! God is so good! This same woman was in prayer group one morning and mentioned her daughter was sick. Her daughter had been experiencing intense ear pain for the previous 8 hours or so. She was going to have to take her to the doctors. We took time to pray over her daughter. After prayer, her daughter said it felt a little better. Later that day I got a text from the mom saying her daughter felt so much better she wanted to go to school that day.   Here is a prayer request from another group. “Healing for my niece Kathy who broke her back 2 months ago. She is in a lot of pain, and can't be treated until some healing can happen. Please pray for healing.” Here is the text we received a few months later: “Regarding my niece Kathy who broke her back in February, I asked for her because there was no hope the surgeons could restore anything. The sutures finally came out today; she will start Physical Therapy soon and will hopefully go back to work in August. A miracle thank you for your prayers!!!” Here is another prayer request: “Please pray for Ann, who is in the hospital and having surgery on her back to repair chipped bones to help lessen her back pain. Thanks” And the text afterward: “Update- Ann's surgery went well. She might come home today. Thanks for the prayers.”   Here is another one: “Prayer request for Tom having cardiac ablation tomorrow at 12:30 pm. Thank you, everyone.” The reply: “Thank you, everyone, for your prayers. Tom had his heart procedure; so far, he is doing well and needs to be careful. 5 days of being careful, then back to normal! Praise God” These are just a few of the many prayer requests that come in. As you can see, some of them are really big, and some might not feel so big. There is no criterion for when we should ask for prayers and when we shouldn't. If you ask me, you always should; what could it hurt to get extra prayers? I remember in my Encounter Ministries classes Deacon Joe would always say it doesn't matter if we are praying for a healing of cancer or a healing of a hangnail. God cares just the same about both and can heal them both. He doesn't have to pick. When we are praying to God about the things we might think are small, it doesn't take anything away from other people's prayers. God can hear all of our prayers. He is not limited in any way. I pray this episode of Witness Wednesday does three things for you. First, I pray in encourages you to ask others to pray for you whenever you have a prayer request. Second, I hope you search out a prayer line or prayer chain you can join so you can start interceding more for others. And finally, that when you do ask people to pray for you, you update them on how the situation turned out. When we tell others about how God answered our prayers, it builds their faith in God and also reinforces that prayer does work! I love you all, and I want you to know that even though I may not know you, I am praying for you and your families. Please pray for others, it is so important!! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

In this challenging and hope-filled message, we explore a startling line from Isaiah 59:16—“He was amazed that there was no one interceding”—and ask what it means for God to be “shocked” that no one is praying. Far from a guilt trip, this sermon is a passionate invitation to step into our priestly calling as intercessors (1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:5–6) and partner with God in His mission to our city.Rooted in Isaiah 59 and 62, we look at:The Problem of PrayerlessnessIsaiah's diagnosis of Israel's sin and silence (Isaiah 59:1–2, 12–16)The danger of practical deism—living as if God is distant (Psalm 10:1; Psalm 13:1)Five Core Truths About PrayerGod listens to our prayersOur sins once drowned out our cries (Isaiah 59:1–2), but the blood of Jesus “speaks a better word” (Hebrews 12:24; Romans 5:9; Hebrews 4:14–16).God loves our prayersThe prayer of the upright is His delight (Proverbs 15:8; Psalm 141:2; Revelation 5:8; 8:3–4).God responds to our prayersJesus' bold promises (Matthew 7:7–11; John 14:13–14; 15:7; 16:23–24)“You do not have because you do not ask” (James 4:2–3)Persistent, even shameless, intercession (Luke 11:5–10; 18:1–8).God expects our prayersOur priestly role to carry others before God (Exodus 28:29; 1 Timothy 2:1–4)Watchmen on the walls who “give Him no rest” until His promises are fulfilled (Isaiah 62:6–7; Matthew 6:10).God participates in our prayersThe Spirit interceding through our weakness with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26–27)The Son interceding for us at the right hand of the Father (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25; Luke 23:34).Along the way you'll hear personal stories of answered prayer, honest wrestling with God's apparent silence (Psalm 22:1; Psalm 139:7–12), and a clear call to move from passivity to priesthood—praying for our church, our neighbors, and our city (Jeremiah 29:7; Matthew 9:37–38).If God once looked and “was amazed that there was no one interceding” (Isaiah 59:16), this message urges us to become the kind of people who refuse to let that be said of our generation.

After all this time, is there anything else that can be said about the Watchmen comic series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons? On this week's pod, we sure give it our best shot! We compare the endless stream of Watchmen adaptations to the ever-expanding sprawl of the Star Wars universe. We debate whether Watchmen singlehandedly created the modern lens through which everyone now views superheroes. And we try to determine if Watchmen only functions as the ultimate deconstruction of superhero mythology, or if it can be read simply as a superhero mystery story. Closing out the conversation, we ask a big question: has Watchmen become the very cultural phenomenon it warned us about—something endlessly commodified, repackaged, and mythologized?

Today Ryan and Greg welcome longtime friend of the show Aaron from the Super Ghost podcast to discuss the comic book movies that were not the Marvel and DC juggernauts but still deserve some love.

Join Christine Darg on the Jerusalem Channel as she delves into the critical role of End-time watchmen in a world beset by conflict and moral ambiguity.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright mark the exact five-year anniversary of the first Devolution article, the same day Trump flew to the North Dakota Badlands to dedicate the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library and said "Badlands" on camera. After the celebrations, the show gets substantive fast. The election fraud disclosure landscape gets a full accounting: the DNI report, the White House task force with John Solomon and Derek Harvey, and the Florida RICO probe are all running simultaneously, and the guys raise the uncomfortable question of whether all three could end up tainting each other. Jon delivers the most detailed breakdown yet of Solomon's access to the Russiagate binder the night of January 19, 2021, and what that means for the burn bags story. Deep state media sources confirming Ratcliffe as Trump's actual intelligence advisor over Gabbard and Pulte gets its own segment as quiet vindication. The show closes on a genuine, frictional debate about whether psyops can only be defeated by counter-psyops or whether demanding the truth is both the moral and practical path forward, with Burning Bright's Watchmen ending and Jon's JFK secrecy quote as the competing frames.

The End Time is NOW. Moral chaos, globalist deception, and open rebellion against God and His truth—exactly as the Bible warned. The Pope's radical climate agenda, mandatory digital IDs to buy and sell, the push for world government, and so much more… all point to the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Griffan's rallying cry against the rise of totalitarianism in Masons as 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?

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.

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.

“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.
