EPISODE 310 - We are three issues into the Peter David / Todd McFarlane run on Incredible Hulk! Todd is still relatively contained, but Peter is starting to really assert himself as a writer.

Who Watches The Milksops? Chris Gethard "Rebuttal" Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

Our friend and regular guest Chris Gethard takes an episodes to deliver his quibbles with some flaws in Watchmen.

You know Chris from his stand-up comedy, from his podcast Beautiful/Anonymous, from his TV show The Chris Gethard Show. The Milksops know him from their days together at the UCB Theatre in NYC.

We had invited Chris -- who is a passionate comics fan -- to be our guest on a regular episode. Gethard suggested that he be on a special episode since he worrites his takes would detract from a regular coverage. We started calling this a "rebuttal" episode.

Although Gethard takes pains to underline that he loves and admires the comic, and even agrees that it is one of the very best created, he doesn't think that means it's above criticism, and so he takes the book to task.

We get into lots of ideas: the defensiveness of Watchmen fans, the pirate comic, the portrayal of the alien, the idea that the much-maligned Zack Snyder film had a better ending and other things!

It's a passionate discussion and an interesting one!

Who Watches The MIlksops? Watchmen #12 Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

We examine the stunning conclusion of Watchmen with a dive into issue 12. After finishing this read, Kevin text Will "Watchmen is good" -- that's our take, everyone!

Most amazing is that despite how many times they've read it, Kevin and Will found YET ANOTHER thing that had not noticed in previous reads. It's the comic that keeps on giving.

We discuss the recent disturbing news about Neil Gaiman, a creator we have covered many times before.

And for Loose Screws, we talk about the movies Blade and Die Hard 2. We talk for a while about Die Hard 2.

Who Watches The Milksops? Watchmen #11 with Jordan D. White Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

We take a close look at Watchmen #11 with Marvel editor Jordan D. White! Jordan is the current editor of the Venom books, the former editor of the X-books and most important is a returning guest to our podcast!

As usual we marvel over how great Watchmen is. Will fails to convince Kevin and Jordan that Alan Moore did a not-great job setting up the twist of the plot (the stuff with the island / alien). And do we talk pirate comic? You bet we do!

For Loose Screws, Will is binging all of Weird Al Yankovic and Jordan can't stop watching YouTube videos of people playing MineCraft!

Don't miss Jordan's cool podcast "Nature Trail to Hell" which goes over horror movies!
