On Saturday, March 30, Doctor Who returned to the airwaves for the second half of Series Seven. Let me start off by saying that for all intents and purposes this REALLY should be the eighth series, but whatever. The first episode of the spring set, “The Bells of Saint John”, was everything that I’ve come to […]

For those who may be new here, I am J. Marcus. Aside from being one of the founding members of The Podwits, I am the Podwits’ resident Star Trek expert. By no means do I know which starship has the most efficient warp-core design, nor do I know Yeoman Rand’s cabin number (cheap shot, I know), but […]

This edition of “The Comic Spinner” is guest-written by the Podwits’ own J. Marcus. Please feel free to forward all your complaints to him! With all the on-and-on I have been doing this past year on Podwits.com, Brian has been kind enough to ask me to answer a simple question regarding my favorite comic book […]
This weekend, Doctor Who aired it’s third episode of the fall season, “A Town Called Mercy.” Much like last week’s “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship,” this week’s episode has that one iconic image/hook: A gun-slinging cyborg. DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS EPISODE YET!
DC Comics Raped My Childhood!

OK… actually, no it didn’t. No more than George Lucas did. What DC did do, however, was give false hope and then completely piss all over everything I ever knew and loved about DC Comics.

Saturday night was the premiere of the seventh season (series) of the new Doctor Who on BBC America. The show returned not with a whimper, but with a bang. A whole series of bangs, in fact, along with the greatest threat the Doctor has ever faced: a room filled with every Dalek from the series’ […]

Brian and J. are on their own this week and left to ponder the canon of Dion, the inevitable courtship of Superman and Wonder Woman and Jessica Hamby’s beyond-cute video blog! All that and the return of a venerable (?) sci-fi television series on this week’s Podwits Podcast!
It’s Like College All Over Again! – Garlic Bread Pizza from Pizza Hut

I don’t know what the deal is with the good folks over at Pizza Hut nowadays, but I feel like they’ve let college students into their test kitchens. It’s the only way to explain the recent rash of recipes to hit their stores.

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! So […]
