Brian’s drinkin’ Belgian(-style) beer to help out some monks in California, Dion’s having 1970s TV flashbacks (pretty much full-time), and J. is re-living the trauma of Ghetto Man roasting the Super Friends. One thing the Podwits all agree on: they sure don’t make ’em like they used to. All that and more (including the time […]

While on a much-needed honeymoon to the Lake George region of upstate New York (if you’ve seen or read The Last of the Mohicans, then that’s the lake it all occurred on), my bride and I took in a custom that I thankfully have been enjoying since since childhood, which was see a double feature […]

With Dion on the lam again, J. and Brian are forced to go it alone once again. Amazing technical goofs aside, the boys manage to run the bases, covering such amazing topics as the upcoming San Diego Comic Con, Doctor Who, the new Spider-Man movie and even a little bit of historical comic lore!

As The Amazing Spider-Man grew closer to its debut, the question just got louder and louder: With three madly successful Spider-Man films being released in just the last ten years, was it neccessary, or wise, to reboot the franchise and inflict a whole new Spider-Man on a public that was probably all Spider-Manned out? Did anyone […]

I was recently discussing my feelings about composer James Horner with a friend on Facebook. If the name is unfamiliar to you, I guarantee that his music is familiar. He has scored films for over 30 years and won two Oscars® (both for his work on Titanic). In addition to his accolades, Mr. Horner has also […]

This one really is our twenty-fifth regular weekly podcast, so we look back at the good times because we have to or Commander Riker will die! No, wait, that was “Shades of Gray“. Sorry for bringing that up. Instead, the boys look at casting for the big-budget Podwits film that may somewhere someday flit briefly through someone’s mind, […]
