Well they’re back at it again for an all new Podwits Podcast. While enjoying a nice cool beverage in a safety-cup at their local convalescence home, the boys wax about the oldest American Civil War widow to die in 2008, and Brian’s 2010 trip to Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, which lead the boys over to: The […]

What is a Podwit to do in this crazy, maddening, evolving (for better or for worse) world?! Do the classics in film (or any art for that matter) age like a fine wine or do they deserve to be torn down and placed against what is now called a “classic” by today’s critics? Also, do franchises suffer or […]

The Doors, Harrison Ford & the Hollywood Bowl…

Many critics have recently been bringing up artists’ “quintessential” concerts, citing The Rolling Stones’ Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out or The Who’s Live At Leeds as examples. With the newly-remastered release of the Doors’ 1968 concert at the Hollywood Bowl, cleverly titled, The Doors Live at the Bowl ’68, this filmed performance is being hailed as the closest thing to a “quintessential” […]

It was back in 1997 in the now-defunct “Record Explosion”, a record store chain in New York City that had a large amount of hard to find music and bootleg material, that I first came across one of the weirdest albums of the 1970’s: Phantom’s Divine Comedy, Part 1. This album may ring a bell for […]
