The Justin Hamilton Podcast

It's a massive podcast for the finale of the HBO series Watchmen. Hammo is joined by Rove McManus and Ben Ellwood as collectively they go full horseshoe on wondering how this series differs from the graphic novel, did certain characters make the correct decisions and what did the story have to tell us about healing as people and as a society. All this and Squid Bits, Mum Facts, Alexei Facts and one final "I Spend Too Much Time Alone" that hypothesises where the next season could go. Nothing ever ends, and judging by the run time, neither does this podcast! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Siobhan Coombs returns to help Hammo discuss chapter 8 of the Watchmen graphic novel. From Sally flicking through her copy of a Tijuana Bible to Rorschach's ability to take out his enemies with extreme prejudice to the final fight for the original Nite-Owl, there's a lot going on as the story makes its way towards the finale. All this plus two servings of Squid Bits. Yum! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a big podcast for a big episode as Hammo and returning guests Alexei Toliopolous and Rove McManus discuss the ins and outs, the backwards and forwards, the ups and downs of this story as we see how Jon experiences life as Doctor Manhattan. From the peculiar romance between Angela and Jon to whether Sister Night is the unwitting hand that sets this all in motion to the importance of the bar that two strangers discuss their future, this is a behemoth chat that sets up everything for the finale.

Hammo plays pick up with Wayne Hunt, the co-host of the Courtside podcast and together they run a two man weave through chapter 7 of the Watchmen graphic novel. From masks and glasses hiding the face of the real person to needing a bit of cosplay to get those sexy times rolling, this is the episode that grooves along to Billie Holiday's "You're My Thrill" as the graphic novel passes the half way point and begins charting course for the end.

Hammo presents this podcast solo as he delves into the mind blowing seventh episode of HBO's Watchmen series. In this episode Hammo discusses why the Sister Night video reveals the importance of diversity in popular culture, the difference between the metaphoric and literal elephant in the room, he bangs on about why Superman is actually more relevant today than ever before and he does his best to not be overwhelmed with emotion while talking about the closing music. Just a little heads up: he fails! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Comedian Ben Ellwood is back and this time he teams up with Hammo to break down and discuss chapter six of the Watchmen graphic novel. In this podcast they discuss why Rorschach was viewed as the break out character by some fans, why the mask being the real face is such an attractive trope in superhero comics and what responsibility does a writer have to people in the real world. All this and some tasty takes on Nostalgia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Comedian and radio broadcaster Stav Davidson joins Hammo in Brisbane to talk about the extraordinary sixth episode of the Watchmen TV series. Stav and Hammo discuss the secret life of Hooded Justice, cultural appropriation in the superhero world and compare the dangers of nostalgia, from the metaphoric to the literal. All this plus your favourite segments including some Mum Facts on steroids. Prepare to be mesmerised! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rove McManus partners with Hammo to help him break down chapter 5 of the Watchmen graphic novel.

It's a brand new triple play for episode 5 of HBO's stellar new series Watchmen as Hammo is joined by his pals Alexei and Ben for what might be their favourite episode yet...well, at least until episode 6 is released. In this podcast, Hammo and friends wonder if Wade was protecting Angela after he'd learned terrible truths, which characters might be secretly working together and what is happening with the Forever Pets receptionists. Returning segments include Squid Bits, I Spend Too Much Time Alone, Mum Facts and Going Full Horseshoe. Now kick off your shoes, slip into your bunker and enjoy episode 9 of Big Squid.

The ABC's very own Richard Fidler joins Hammo to recap chapter four of the Watchmen graphic novel. Together they discuss their recollections of the 80s and the fear of a pending nuclear war, Dr Manhattan's conception of time and if this makes him a god, whether the world of Watchmen is deterministic and listen to Hammo desperately attempt to keep up with the intellectual power of Fidler. Warning: all this big thinking comes down to a Jeff Fenech quote at the very end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
