With all the buzz surrounding Zack Snyder’s new Superman film “The Man of Steel”, it’s almost amazing that we haven’t seen any actual footage yet. The excitement from the studio seems almost palpable. The first still of Henry Cavill as Superman hit the net and polarized the audience. Half of the public felt at long […]

Another great Muppet Christmas Special to be highlighted in this series, is one of the earliest, the Emmy Award-winning Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. It originally aired on PBS on Sunday, December 3, 1978, and sadly is another one of the great Muppet specials that hasn’t been aired probably in 20 years.

There Ain’t No Hole In The Washtub…!

I like the Muppets! I think they lost their edge after the 1979 release of The Muppet Movie, but that happens when you go main stream… Before that, Jim Henson was making big plans for his company. The Muppets were on Sesame Street. They had their own TV show, The Muppet Show. They had made numerous […]
A Merry Christmas From The Muppets Part. 1

I have come to the conclusion that there are two time-frames when concerning the Muppets. Pre-Jim Henson’s Death and Post-Jim Henson’s Death. Sadly, the latter has not been as rewarding and fruitful in the world of the Muppets since Mr. Henson’s passing. Who or what is to blame? That is a debate for another day. […]

Final Fantasy Film Follow-up

Hi, everyone. Well, we Podwits are nothing if not self-correcting. In our last podcast I spoke somewhat ill of the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, voicing my theory, based on the film’s apparent lack of relation to the vaunted Final Fantasy video game series, that Square (the production company) had produced a fairly independent science-fiction […]

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, Intrada records is issuing a new special edition soundtrack CD for the most popular Star Trek film of all time, STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME. It’s been a good couple of years to be a Star Trek soundtrack fan. In the past few […]
