Jim and A.Ron are watching the Watchmen. They’re impressed with what has been a divisive episode and what might end up being a divisive season of television. There is a lot of hidden and some obvious callbacks to the graphic novels and 2007 movie sprinkled throughout. They also discuss squid rain, confidential documents, Ryan Murphy’s latest work in American Hero Story, and the musical Oklahoma.

We’re started a feature designed to give you a more transparent look into the day to day decisions and inner workings of the Bald Move empire, exclusively for our club members. In honor of one of the all-time great series and the one that gave us our start, we’re calling it Empire Business. It isn’t meant to be a regular weekly feature, it’s more of a “whenever we have something interesting to talk about and remember to turn the mics on” kind of thing. We hope you enjoy it.

Maybe there’s something fun here we’re missing? But we recommend you miss it too.

Jim and I went to see the Joker tonight, and it was intense, challenging, but also beautiful and engrossing look at mental illness and the sicknesses at the heart of our society. Director Todd Phillips gives us a plausible, believable, and terrifying Joker to inhabit a world that is set in a hazy late 70s period but…
