Geek Actually Special – Watchmen

Watchmen Special LogoHosts: David McVay, Jacob Oberman, Katrina Smith and Dean

Geek Actually is brought to you by listeners, just like you. Thanks for your donations. If you wish to make a donation, go to geekactually.com.

David and Jacob are joined (via the miracle of Skype) by the lovely Katrina Smith and our new friend Dean from Melbourne for this special Geek Actually Watchmen Special. We dig deep into this modern classic: Book to film comparison, Actor’s and the portrayals and we look for the deeper meaning of it all.

We also discuss Alan Moore’s hatred of Hollywood and the, um, the big blue package.

Warning: This is a spoilers filled show. If you haven’t watched the film yet and don’t want to know who gets killed or the ending, don’t listen yet. Also, if you have never listened to a Geek Actually show before, this is not the place to start, this is a free for all. I suggest that you go and listen to a proper episode to get a feel for our rhythm and style, then come back.

As always this episode carries an explicit tag due to possible bad language.
