The Contrarians100 - Watchmen (2009)

One hundred episodes!* Listen to Alex and Julio celebrate this milestone by arguing about a movie and a filmmaker that have been constantly brought up on the show: the WATCHMEN adaptation from “Visionary Director” Zack Snyder! At 64% on the Tomatometer, it’s yet another Gray Area battle, one encompassing Snyder’s playlist, the way he shoots violence and, of course, his use of Leonard Cohen’s talents!

*Not counting all those bonus eppys, obviously.

PLUGS!

- Alex got the remastered ALADDIN/LION KING nostalgia combo for the PS4 and it allows for safer rage-quitting!

- Julio has been having a blast going through the PITCH MEETINGS catalogue.

- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at mildemonios@hotmail.com in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI. Aaaaand you can also check out all the stuff he’s written on his own website. Don’t know Spanish? He also did a podcast in English called LIVING IN PERU, about immigrants in - where else - Perú.

Up next, ohhh boy, we need to figure out a replacement for the delayed Terminator bonus episode. I’ll update this when we do! In the meantime, let us know how you like WATCHMEN!
