"I believe there is a vast and insidious conspiracy at play in the city, and I have evidence that a secret plan is being developed by—"
"A new crime boss who calls himself Moloch the Magnificent.  Now, this villain is planning to harness the sun’s energy into a deadly solar weapon, threatening every man, woman and child in New York.  So, if you’ll excuse us, fellows, the Minutemen have a city to save.  But first, let’s talk about your savings and our good friends at National Bank…"
-- Hooded Justice and Captain Metropolis, Watchmen: "This Extraordinary Being"

Hello again, everyone!  My co-host Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of The Fandom Zone Podcast!  This time, we discuss "This Extraordinary Being", the sixth episode of the HBO series Watchmen, featuring Jovan Adepo as Hooded Justice/Will Reeves, Jake McDorman as Captain Metropolis/Nelson Gardner, Regina King as Angela Abar, and Louis Gossett Jr. as Old Will Reeves!

In this episode, Jesse and I talk about things like finally getting on track for reviewing Watchmen, the series finally winning people over, the great decision to make Hooded Justice an African-American cop instead of a German wrestler, the recent Murphy Brown reboot, Hollis Mason's description of Hooded Justice in his biography Under the Hood, Fred Trump's reported ties to the KKK, Angela reliving her grandfather's memories, Will releasing there's only one way to take out the Cyclops conspiracy, hypnosis and mesmerism, Hooded Justice's Caucasian makeup vs. Sister Night's black makeup, the double meaning of the Minutemen not accepting Hooded Justice if they knew who he was, Captain Metropolis betraying Hooded Justice's plea for help with the Cyclops conspiracy, the original Watchmen comic book series being groundbreaking for comics as an artform, Laurie trying to keep Angela grounded in her own memories, the big revelation of how Judd Crawford was hanged, our favorite quotes of the episode, the news vendor reading Action Comics #1, some "Crisis on Infinite Earths" CW crossover news, and more!
