Hey guys. I only just now got to hear this show (download on iTunes is very slow when you are almost halfway across the globe). Thanks for the dedication. Yes, I’m in Balad, Iraq (did you know that in Arabic, “BA laud” means “city”? I learned that last weekend).
Anyway, I’ve never read the Watchmen and didn’t know much about the premise. But when you described it on air, it totally reminded me of “The Incredibles”. Do you see the similarities? Superheroes have to be “normal”. Until someone starts killing them? And they have to come out to save themselves?
Thanks for helping me stay connected with everyone. I listen to you guys when I’m at the gym (the only place we can have headphones and actually hear what is playing – cause the Rec Center is full of DJ music).
See ya in #unfiction most mornings.
