Episode 8 - Watchmen Graphic Novel Chapter 4

Thu, 14 Nov 2019 05:23:05 GMT

The ABC's very own Richard Fidler joins Hammo to recap chapter four of the Watchmen graphic novel. Together they discuss their recollections of the 80s and the fear of a pending nuclear war, Dr Manhattan's conception of time and if this makes him a god, whether the world of Watchmen is deterministic and listen to Hammo desperately attempt to keep up with the intellectual power of Fidler. Warning: all this big thinking comes down to a Jeff Fenech quote at the very end.

Episode 7 - HBO Watchmen Episode 4

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 12:20:36 GMT

It's a big team-up addition of Big Squid as Hammo welcomes Alexei Toliopolous and Ben Ellwood to the podcast to recap the fourth episode of HBO's Watchmen. They discuss the brand new spin on Superman's origin story, Veidt's late night fishing for underwater babies, they delve into how trauma and memories mould you into the people you are today and wonder just what is going on with Lube Man. Warning: there's a little bit of swearing, way too much time spent on Agent Petey's lips and a surprisingly engrossing deep dive on horseshoes. Sit back, have a slice of squid cake and enjoy the show.

Episode 6 - Watchmen Graphic Novel Chapter 3

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 05:52:16 GMT

Siobhan Coombs is back and together they discuss chapter three of the original graphic novel. There's a chat about their relationship to The Black Freighter comic within the comic, our first time spent with Bernard and Bernard and how Siobhan would really feel if her partner could splinter himself into many versions of himself, just like Dr Manhattan did for Laurie. Warning: there are adult themes discussed in this episode but this is balanced out by a lot of childish talk about Dr Manhattan's blue manhood. In other words, a typical episode of Big Squid.

Episode 4 - Watchmen Graphic Novel Chapter 2

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 12:20:52 GMT

Hammo's good friend Alexei Toliopolous from the Total Reboot Podcast returns to discuss chapter 2 of the Watchmen graphic novel. There's a deep dive on the complex character of The Comedian, they reveal the panel that gives away the plan of the secret villain and they're both amazed at just how bonkers you have to be to hide in a fridge just to scare the pants off your over-the-hill enemy. Like the comic book character the Peacemaker, Hammo and Alexei love peace so much they'd kill for it...or maybe just share some firm views on where you're going wrong.
