(*Outrageous popularity pending) Join the brothers Magalhães (Anglicized as Magellan) as they bicker and banter about movies no one has seen or cares about or that have already been analyzed by far sharper minds than their own every week, along with special guest stars of varying willingness and notoriety! Get ready to laugh along with Nathan’s meandering freshman film student level critiques of movies you’ve never heard of, and enjoy the bored, grumpy-senior-citizen-who-would-rather-be-feeding-pigeons energy that has made Elliot the toast of the greater Indianola area! Come for the lukewarm old-man-yells-at-cloud takes on modern movies, stay because you got distracted and left Spotify running. See you at the cinema!

In comic books they’re cool, colorful men and women dispensing righteous justice to an eclectic cast of goofy supervillains. Yet, what would the paragons of costumed courage look like if translated from page to reality? What kind of personality would it take to theme oneself after cowboys or whatever and hit the streets to beat up dognappers? These are the questions posed by Watchmen, an acclaimed, beloved graphic novel by [REDACTED], Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins. Long considered the pinnacle of comics, this violent, satirical examination of the strange thought process behind masked vigilantism came into the sights of Hollywood in 2009 when it was adapted by Zack Snyder and friends for the silver screen. This lengthy, bloody flick contains all the Snyderisms you know and . . . well that you know. I’m talking slow motion, desaturated colors, and moody stares into the middle distance, a combination that was received decently by critics and more warmly by audiences. But will the movie make a triumphant return from retirement and save the afternoon from boredom, or will Nathan and Elliot grow disillusioned and retreat to Mars in the hopes of finding diversion elsewhere? Who listens to the podcast? You do, hopefully, so let’s start the episode!
