DallasHOST
12:34
And I was like, Oh, like that little bit of wordplay is going to be flipped and come back for you.
DallasHOST
12:39
And then there, as the swamp thing was floating down through hell, there were really striking images of him that looked exactly like Dr. Manhattan, um, I was like, I can see the ideas bubbling that will become Watchmen.
SavannahGUEST
12:52
So this came out before Watchmen?

DallasHOST
60:35
There's a little bit of sex in Watchmen.
DallasHOST
60:37
I don't think there's any tantric sex, though.
SavannahGUEST
60:38
I feel like there's some stuff with Mr. Manhattan or Dr. Manhattan.
DallasHOST
60:43
Oh, for sure.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST

Charles LiuGUEST

Dr. Manhattan was created in the Watchmen universe by Alan Moore in the 1980s, but he's essentially blue and he doesn't wear any clothes.

Chuck NiceHOST
40:20
just move through things.
Chuck NiceHOST
14:32
Wait, just real quick, because we're running out of time.
Chuck NiceHOST
14:34
Dr. Manhattan, I forgot also, is a character who lives in his world line and also sees his world line simultaneously.
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
14:46
Okay, this is of the Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen.
Chuck NiceHOST
14:52
Watchmen, correct.
Chuck NiceHOST
14:53
Yes,
Neil deGrasse TysonHOST
14:56
Once you have him, why have anything do anything about anything? You know, that's why I don't like Watchmen, believe it or not,
Chuck NiceHOST
15:03
for what you just said.
Chuck NiceHOST
15:04
Because it's like, I got Dr. Manhattan.

SeanHOST
45:27
which was uh joshua wilson with yasmin putri on the art um and just kind of getting an idea of what pandora's role is now she was resurrected or yeah she was resurrected by dark side to carry out his whims and to make sure that all the omega energy transfers to him which i thought was like stupid like why does he need someone to be in charge of that doesn't that just happen um and I don't actually need Pandora back I get it they own her as a character so they're going to try to use her if they can but boy oh boy I have heat for Pandora
Tyler OlsonHOST
46:08
it opens up with that rebirth quite a literal splash with her being vaporized by Dr. Manhattan that was the best
SeanHOST

RyanHOST
14:11
At any point, did the Muppets take Doctor Manhattan?
VicHOST
14:17
Different universe, but very close.
VicHOST
14:18
Yeah, but they just spend the whole time on
Voodoo PeteHOST
49:25
Because Candyman was a dud.
Voodoo PeteHOST
49:27
Everything he do except when he was in The Get Down and when he was Dr. Manhattan.
Voodoo PeteHOST
49:35
And I like this Wonder Man.
Voodoo PeteHOST
49:36
What else
Voodoo PeteHOST
50:29
He had to make
Old Man LoganHOST
50:30
something, though, for us to say, like, yo, because even in our director's chairs, we've utilized him in certain stuff.
Voodoo PeteHOST
50:36
He's a good look, G. That's what it is, because other than Get Down, for me, other than Get Down and being Dr. Manhattan, the nigga ain't did shit for me good.
