Watchmen Watch
10/17/19 • 71 min
Our walk through Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen ends with issue #12, “A Strong And Loving World.” Or does it? Because nothing ever ends? No, this ends, as Dr. Manhattan and Laurie Blake return to Earth to confront Adrian Veidt; and our assembled heroes are faced with an impossible decision.

Plus, here’s a transcript of the episode, so you can read along as you listen:
Alex: Welcome to Watchmen Watch, who watches it? We get ready to watch it as we’re coming up on Watchmen Watch on HBO, but first, we’re going to be watching a comic book which just kind of sits there. I’m Alex.
Justin: I’m Justin.
Pete: I am Pete.
Alex: We are going to be talking about the final issue of the Watchmen comic, the 12th issue, A Stronger Loving World, as we wrap up our recap of the comic, and transition totally seamlessly into recapping the TV show, no breaks there, don’t even worry about it. Before we get into it though, I’m a little concerned here, I see you Justin, I see you Pete, our fourth co-host including-
Pete: Come on man-
Alex: ... some of the biggest four people, isn’t here, what’s going on?
Justin: Well, It’s a great day here. I actually have some very exciting news. Alan is here, Alan go ahead and introduce yourself. Hello... I’m just kidding, he’s not here. It’s-
Alex: Man.
Justin: ... he bailed again.
Pete: That was...
Alex: That was fine.
Justin: We’re doing this really insulting them.
Alex: Yes. We do this over video Skype chat. Even though I can see you when you start doing that voice, I was like, I’m convinced he’s here. That’s how good your voice was.
Justin: Yes, I am here.
Alex: He’s here again. Pete is here.
Justin: No, that’s just me. That’s how seamless when you’re a classically trained actor as I am, you can slip in and out of a character. Sorry, Alan Moore isn’t going to make it for the 12th and final time.
Alex: Man, that is too bad. Well, hopefully I know how psyched he is about the show, he’s been out on the promotional tour, chatting it up, talking about what’s going on in HBO.
Justin: He’s at a Buffalo Wild Wings premiere party for Watchmen.
Pete: I’m going to be there for that. [crosstalk 00:01:48] Are you kidding me? Come on.
Justin: He has a sauce that’s branded the Alan Moore nuclear explosion wings.
Alex: I heard they’re also putting that on the Rorschach shows.
Justin: Those are not shows.
Alex: Yes.
Justin: It’s tricky. Alan Moore has lost a step as a writer, especially when it comes to naming a product tie in appetizers.
Alex: He used to be so good at that too.
Justin: Yes.
Alex: It’s surprising.
Justin: That’s right. He was the one that came up with unlimited breadsticks. They used to be unlimited potential Doctor Manhattan breadsticks.
Alex: That’s all-
Pete: Were they blue?
Alex: ... why I always feel like it’s five minutes to midnight whenever I go to the olive garden.
Justin: 100%. Guys-
Alex: It’s the-
Justin: ... Their original slogan was, when you’re here, you have a blue dick, they changed it to family.
Alex: I remember I went there one time and I was like, “Hey, we’ve been waiting for a while for our food, can we get our food?” And they were like, “You ate it 35 minutes ago.”
Justin: That’s how they made a fortune in their early days.
Alex: They get you, every time they get you, do you know who also gets you? Adrian Veidt gets you, Ozymandias gets you and he gets the entire world. He got them. He did the ultimate punked episode. He punked the entire world in this issue. Really glad I went for that reference.
Justin: No, this is the context we should speak about this final issue. It is the ultimate punkting.
Alex: When we left the characters of this book... I was about to...

Nite Owl and Rorschach strike up their old partnership to try to crack the case of the mask killer, and in the process discover a much more insidious plot. Meanwhile, Ozymandias moves to Antarctica, which is a super normal thing to do, and we discuss Watchmen #10, “Two Riders Were Approaching.”

Plus, here’s a transcript of the episode for you to read through as you listen:
Alex: Welcome to Watchmen Watch, a podcast about Watchmen, and you watch it, you watch it. You watch it. I’m Alex.
Justin: I’m Justin.
Pete: I’m Pete. What the- ?
Alex: And we are going to be talking about the tenth issue of Watchmen: Two Riders Were Approaching, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, as we get very close here to the premiere of Watchmen on HBO. But first, a little bit of news.
Alex: Justin, what’s happening?
Justin: Yeah, Alan Moore, our fourth host, who-
Alex: Right.
Justin: It’s hard to remember, but he’s been here for most of the episodes I think.
Alex: I think so, at least nine of them.
Justin: Nine, and this is the tenth one, so it’s just ... He leaves a hole when he’s not here. But when you work with people, you want to be on time, and sometimes they’re not, but you still love them. You still love those people [crosstalk 00:00:45] who are not ...
Pete: What the fuck? What the fuck?
Justin: So anyway, let me get back to this.
Alex: That was weird. A mirror just appeared in front of Justin for no reason.
Justin: That’s-
Pete: Oh, my God.
Alex: Very strange.
Justin: If we’re not holding a mirror up to ourselves [crosstalk 00:00:56] then what are we doing? And that’s what Alan Moore is doing, is he ... He’s a big autumn guy, so he went upstate for leave peeping, tasting some cider. He has an Affinity scarf and tweed jacket on. He’s-
Alex: That’s just ...
Justin: He’s lost in a corn maze.
Alex: All right-
Justin: So cozy.
Alex: Oh, he’s lost ... Boy, you buried the lead there.
Justin: Oh ...
Alex: He’s lost?
Justin: I think when he was texting with me, which he does a lot-
Alex: Sure.
Justin: ... he was like, “Oh, I’m walking to a corn maze.” And he’s like, “This is a fun corn maze.” Then he’s like, “Dear God, help me. I’m trapped in this corn maze. Help, help, help.” And he’s-
Pete: Why-
Justin: ... panicked.
Pete: Why doesn’t he just throw a bottle of perfume in the air? That way we’ll be able to see it.
Justin: See, I’m sure he’s doing that, but that’s not the clearest single of what’s happening with you, if you-
Alex: Yeah, we’re also ... We’re in the middle of the city. If he’s upstate, it’s going to be a little rough to see a perfume a bottle he’s throwing over a corn maze.
Justin: But keep your eyes up in the air. If you see a perfume bottle, you are close to Mr. Alan Moore.
Alex: Yes, let’s talk about this comic book. What do you guys think about that? You want to do it?
Justin: Let’s-
Pete: Sure.
.
Alex: We are getting down to it here. Lots of stuff going on. While Laurie and Doctor Manhattan are up on Mars debating the fate of the human race, debating the fate of Earth, down on Earth, Dan Dreiberg, aka Nite Owl and Rorschach have been left behind. And they are trying to figure what exactly has been going on. Is there a conspiracy, is somebody trying to kill of masks, or not?
Alex: Nite Owl is still a little suspicious, but pretty on board with Rorschach’s theory. And at the same time, the world is very quickly heading towards disaster thanks to Russia and the United States escalating tensions over Afghanistan.
Alex: Now, of course, the theme is right there in the title, and it’s hit multiple times very hard throughout the issue. Two Riders Are Approaching, I believe this is from a Bob Dylan song?
