(video by mhabjan) Spoiler Alert: They both lose.  And so do you.

Now that the three wits-of-the-pod have finally seen The Avengers film (Dion!), this week the gang tackles the long-debated question: “who the heck is going to pay for all this (damage) when a superhero battle lays waste to an entire city?!?!” The pros and cons are debated, the lads discuss the Prometheus trailer and the […]

The comic book rack is the new water cooler, as your three well-read masters of ceremony discuss gay superheroes, digital comics, the old Spider-Man newspaper strip, and a whole host of other superheroic topics, along with some other unrelated side-excursions. Podwits Assemble!

Real life conspired to delay my gratification, but yesterday, ten days after its nationwide American release, I finally saw The Avengers. By now, reams* have been written about how good the movie is, how thoroughly it entertains on multiple levels thanks to its snappy Whedonesque dialogue, its insightful Whedonesque explorations of character relationships, and its […]

Yesterday I did what seems like my civic duty (after all everyone’s doing it) and went to see The Avengers. This film had a lot going for it before I even got into the theater, so to say that I really wanted to like this movie is an understatement.  First, and foremost, it had the potential to […]

Ever since those old “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” commercials came out, some enterprising folks immediately capitalized on them and made an analogy between the two big comics companies, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. For anyone who has read on both sides of that aisle, the differences can be very much like night […]

Brian attempts to recount his very entertaining weekend to his fellow Podwits, only to incur the wrath of J. (JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ!!!) and the discombobulation of Dion. Chaos ensues… the fun kind! Also, the Podwits have at a controversial recommendation by the American Library Association (damn librarians…). Yes, it’s another barely controllable episode of THE PODWITS!

While that new Superman looks ridiculous so far, albeit I’ve only seen still photos, the newest incarnation of Spider-Man looks… wait for it… AMAZING!
