The boys are at it again! Dion’s on about Clint Eastwood being a real life hero and scorned Valentine’s Day lovers from China, J’s back from space and talking shop about Superman, and Brian is loving Marvel’s new Guardians of the Galaxy and voicing his contempt for the ineptitude of DC Comics. Plus an update on the 22nd Annual Borgnine Night at […]

Last year, I was lucky enough to meet Martha Sigall, the 96-year-young former inker and painter who worked in what some consider the golden age of cartoonmaking in Hollywood. You name it, she worked on it, over the past eighty years. I had the opportunity to sit in on a Q&A with her, and then […]

This week the Podwits return to subjects very near and dear to their hearts — cartoons and comic books — as J. and Brian ponder whether this is, in fact, the end of an era for high-quality animated adaptations of great comic book stories.  Which stories would YOU like to see in animated form?  And […]

  Hello there fellow Podwitian’s! It as been a long time in coming, but here is the promised conversation with Animation Legend Bob Singer!
