Show Notes

On this episode of REmediaL STUDIES, the doomsday clock ticks closer to midnight. We enter an alternate history of super heroes and villains that turned the comic world on its head, and remains uncomfortably relevant over thirty years after publication. Talking points: the assignment of meaning to meaningless objects, time is weird, how we respond to media that isn't meant for us, the persistence of nuclear anxiety, how much Rachel hates Doctor Manhattan, what really matters if nothing ever ends, and, hey, who watches the watchmen?
