Directed by Eric Matthies and written by Hans Rodionoff, who was also the writer of the two Lost Boys sequels, this was included on the Tales of the Black Freighter DVD. It’s an in-universe documentary featuring a television interview with Hollis Mason (Stephen McHattie, The People Next Door) the first Nite Owl, about his life.

Despite Ted Friend overacting as Larry Culpepper, this does an amazing job of bring an 80s TV show — complete with commercials — and telling more of the universe of Watchmen. Sure, I still have issues with the casting of the movie — Carla Gugino is way too young for Sally Jupiter — but McHattie is incredible and I enjoyed how William Long (William S. Taylor), the soon-to-be therapist for Rorschach, gets to share his thoughts on superheroes.

I wish that there was a Watchmen supplemental DVD that had more than this and the pirate comics, that gave even more background into the world of the story. But when you look at this part, it seems pretty worthwhile.

You can watch this on YouTube.
