Watchmen

Listen Later

This week I am joined by Roy van Eck, he played a monster in The Hex and is also a wine expert, he chose the 2009 film Watchmen. The film premise is in 1985 where former superheroes exist, the murder of a colleague sends active vigilante Rorschach into his own sprawling investigation, uncovering something that could completely change the course of history as we know it. It was my first time to see this Zack Snyder directed film and is available to watch on HBO Max, be sure to check it out if you haven't seen it or want to rewatch it.
