I don’t care for the Oscars whatsoever, but I was lucky enough to catch the presentation of the Governor’s Awards, and saw that make-up legend Dick Smith was being honored with a lifetime achievement award.

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!

On the eve of interviewing retired NYPD and film legend Randy Jurgensen (PLUG for an upcoming Podwits EXCLUSIVE), my fiancée and I sat down and revisited a cult classic, William Friedkin’s Cruising. I have to say, the film gets better with every viewing.

It’s one thing that our TV is slowly being adapted from British television, or that our movies and TV shows are slowly being taken over by British actors/actresses, now they’ve set their sights on the Final Frontier. And you know what? I couldn’t be happier!
