Thought About Rorschach/Dr Manhattan

Sup Shat Squad! Anyway random thought … Poor Rorschach died for nothing.. why does Dr. Manhattan kill him when he can see the future and know inevitably that the squid secret will come out.. Matter of fact there possibly isn’t a Seven Calvary without a Rorschach, squid incident to rally...

Watchmen Season 2

Hi again Shat Crew, Thanks again for making my work day manageable with your plethora of Podcasts. But may I remind everyone HBO is not an Art Museum. They are part of a multi-global-media conglomerate. Their job is not to make the best quality television program possible, but to make...
