Four Layered Takes

Watchmen Finale, The 'WAP' Edition: Our Review of ep.9 Finale

In this week’s episode, we wrap up our discussion of HBO's amazing "Watchmen". We also briefly touch on the news of Kamala Harris' historical moment.

Our takes... Ozymandias and Drake are NOT the "same people" despite Marcus' thoughts, the dedication to spell "Daughter" out in bodies (we would’ve just spelled “Sis”), MiMi accurately calls Ozymandias as being an astrological Cancer, and Senator Keene is Tucker Carlson in Thinx period panties.

We also end the episode pondering what we should review next. Give us your thoughts.

A God Walks Into Abar: Our Review of Watchmen ep. 8

In this week’s second episode (a twofer), we discuss HBO's "Watchmen" episode 8 — another masterclass in storytelling.

Our takes... Dr. Manhattan can create and destroy worlds but has ZERO game, Mel may be missing out on her "love blessing" by consuming too many murder podcasts and MiMi hates to see Cal leave but loves to see him walk away.

An Almost Religious Awe: Our Review of Watchmen ep. 7

In this week’s episode, we discuss HBO's "Watchmen" episode 7.

Our takes... all true villains where white (sorry LisaRaye McCoy), Ozymandias is truly a "special" guy, Lori Blake doesn’t think quick on her feet, and we question if all racists have a "Sunken Place".

‘Watchmen’ Review: The Extraordinariness of 'This Extraordinary Being'

In this week’s episode, we discuss HBO's "Watchmen" episode 6 — one of the greatest examples of storytelling in TV history.

Our takes... this episode was rich with layers from callbacks to Superman to the actual whitewashing of real-life Bass Reeves; MiMi recalls her own "Nostalgia pills" moment; Cal reminds us of a bad date; Will, June and Captain Metropolis have their own "entanglement"; and a Jon Snow/ Daenerys Targaryen connection only WE could make to the show.

‘Watchmen’ in the COVID-19 Age: Our Rewatch/Review of ep.4 & 5

In this week’s episode, we discuss HBO's "Watchmen" episodes 4 and 5.

Our takes... Ozymandias is in a bad marriage with Mr. Phillips and Ms. Crookshanks; COVID-19 really messed up the game for Jehovah Witnesses; how Mel would label her “threesome” nostalgia pills to not confuse them with worse memories; and how the person with the worst southern accent is always the villain in every show.

‘Watchmen’ in the COVID-19 Age: Our Rewatch/Review of ep. 2 & 3

In this week’s episode, we continue our discussion of HBO's "Watchmen". We switch up the format a bit from last week since there's so much to consume with this show.

Our takes... "Blanket Jackson" (Topher Abar) gonna need therapy (and probably us too after we're done with our COVID-19 "entanglement"); Will Reeves may be a Targaryen; Louis Gossett Jr. is a gift; this story is way too close to today’s storylines, and Black women STAY saving everybody.

'Watchmen' in the COVID-19 Age: Our Rewatch/Review of episode 1

On this week’s episode, we discuss HBO's phenomenal, "Watchmen" — a show so prophetic from a year ago that it includes the Tulsa race riots, mandatory face masks, police brutality and anti-police backlash, reparations… and this was just the first episode.

We kick it off with a brief look into our current COVID-19 chronicles and then jump right into the story.

Also, Don Johnson reminds us he's forever a zaddy and Mel and MiMi exhibit why eye witness memory isn’t reliable.
