Keeping Up Appearances - HcN Podcast #41

The fine folks at Hardcore Nerdity had me back for another go-round at Watchmen, fanboys, screenwriter David Hayter (whose open letter to fans stoked a few fires online this week), and the awesome new Star Trek trailer on their weekly podcast, which you can listen to here. Thanks to John, Simon and Adrienne for another great discussion.

Prisoners Of Gravity - WATCHMEN Special

Fifteen years later, and this episode of TVOntario's much-missed weekly geekasm Prisoners Of Gravity (produced by my pal Mark Askwith, hosted by the inimitable Rick Green and featuring title art by Ty Templeton) remains the definitive look at Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen.

If you haven't read the book, it's a pretty intense primer. If you have read the book, I guarantee this will make you rush back to it and start flipping pages immediately to look at all the things you missed.

Keeping Up Appearances - HcN Podcast #40

In which I gripe about Zack Snyder's film adaptation of Watchmen, alongside Hardcore Nerdity's Jonathan Llyr, Simon Evans and Adrienne Kress, as part of HcN's excellent weekly podcast. 

You'll also hear a great interview with Watchmen screenwriter David Hayter, who, when he's not writing superhero blockbusters, is also the voice of Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid

Go listen here.
