Episode 7 - HBO Watchmen Episode 4
It's a big team-up addition of Big Squid as Hammo welcomes Alexei Toliopolous and Ben Ellwood to the podcast to recap the fourth episode of HBO's Watchmen. They discuss the brand new spin on Superman's origin story, Veidt's late night fishing for underwater babies, they delve into how trauma and memories mould you into the people you are today and wonder just what is going on with Lube Man. Warning: there's a little bit of swearing, way too much time spent on Agent Petey's lips and a surprisingly engrossing deep dive on horseshoes. Sit back, have a slice of squid cake and enjoy the show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 6 - Watchmen Graphic Novel Chapter 3
Siobhan Coombs is back and together they discuss chapter three of the original graphic novel. There's a chat about their relationship to The Black Freighter comic within the comic, our first time spent with Bernard and Bernard and how Siobhan would really feel if her partner could splinter himself into many versions of himself, just like Dr Manhattan did for Laurie. Warning: there are adult themes discussed in this episode but this is balanced out by a lot of childish talk about Dr Manhattan's blue manhood. In other words, a typical episode of Big Squid.

Episode 5 -HBO Watchmen Episode 3
In this latest episode Hammo and Total Reboot Podcast host Alexei Toliopoulos dig into episode three of HBO's cracking new series, Watchmen. This podcast has it all ranging from the reveal of Adrian Veidt and where he's currently trapped, the significance of Laurie Blake's joke, just who Agent Petey is and what the heck is a Peteypedia, and just how many metaphors can a blue vibrating penis really pack? There's also a new Mum Fact and a segment from Hammo where he drops a new theory that suggests he needs to spend more time with actual human people. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 4 - Watchmen Graphic Novel Chapter 2
Hammo's good friend Alexei Toliopolous from the Total Reboot Podcast returns to discuss chapter 2 of the Watchmen graphic novel. There's a deep dive on the complex character of The Comedian, they reveal the panel that gives away the plan of the secret villain and they're both amazed at just how bonkers you have to be to hide in a fridge just to scare the pants off your over-the-hill enemy. Like the comic book character the Peacemaker, Hammo and Alexei love peace so much they'd kill for it...or maybe just share some firm views on where you're going wrong. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 3 - HBO Watchmen Part 2

Not only that but Hammo shares a theory that is either mind blowing or evidence of a head injury after overthinking another great episode. Hosted on Acast.
