Ted Cruz, whose public history includes everything from supporting a guy who suggested his dad could have been involved in the Kennedy assassination (and insulted his wife’s appearance) to dangerously platforming baseless election theories, is now being called out by a number of prominent voices for his latest act of nonsensicality. In a recent interview with conservative figure […]
Though a return to his excellent take on Watchmen remains highly unlikely, Damon Lindelof isn’t against hopping into the respective fires of Marvel and Star Wars sometime in the future. “I think that doing something in the Marvel universe, anywhere in the Marvel Universe, would be really potentially exciting for me, especially as they start to get […]

This week, Frazier and khal give their (spoiler free) first reactions to the latest Star Wars film, Rise of the Skywalker after catching it at the New York press screening. They also welcome back Damien Scott and Angel Diaz to talk about the Watchmen finale, Season 4 of Mr. Robot, and dive into another edition of White […]
The first season of HBO’s Watchmen lived up to the hype created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ original comic. Normally, a show that wowed viewers this way would be a shoo-in for another season, but there are still questions marks surrounding the series’ return. The season (or series) finale aired on Sunday, yet HBO hasn’t formally announced its renewal. This could […]
Well—SPOILERS FOR WATCHMEN SEASON 1 OBVIOUSLY FOLLOW—it’s all over. The mustache-twirling MAGA bad guys are vapor (or, in Not Great Bob’s case, ooze) but so is Doctor Manhattan. All relationships end in tragedy, after all. Will Reeves got his revenge, Adrian Veidt got his comeuppance. And what did Angela Abar get? Well, the finale inevitably cuts to […]
Today is the 66th birthday of Alan Moore. So what better way to celebrate than to unearth an interview from three years ago where Moore, the co-creator of Watchmen and writer behind Batman: The Killing Joke, criticized the public fascination with superheroes with such vitriol that it makes Martin Scorsese‘s remark about the Marvel movies not being “cinema” look light-hearted. “I […]

As a sequel to Alan Moore’s seminal ’80s comic book, Watchmen the series hasn’t been shy about throwing fans into the deep end of its universe with nary a breather for […]
Ed. note: This post includes spoilers for HBO’s Watchmen. The premiere of HBO’s Watchmen was watched by more than 1.5 million viewers on its first night across television and streaming services, the strongest debut performance for the network. To be frank, it should’ve been more. In a real-world where white nationalism makes the news in […]
Those looking for answers to the myriad of questions posed in last week’s Watchmen pilot got a little bit of satisfaction during tonight’s ep—which also, inevitably, opened up a whole other can of worms. Once again directed by Nicole Kassell from a script written by series creator Damon Lindelof (co-written with Nick Cuse), episode 2 or “Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship,” pulls […]
