*SPOILER ALERT*.  At long last, J. has seen Man Of Steel.  After years of waiting and speculation, he’s laid eyes on the film not once, not twice, but three times.  Now the story must be told!  Did he like it?  Did he hate it?  What was it like? And to share this experience, J. is […]

Dion and contributor J. Blake are back and ready to kick 2014 off with a duesy of a topic: Before you had the DVD, VCR, or even the Multiplex, how else could fans continue to digest their favorite films after seeing them in the theater? Well the duo discuss the short-lived 1970’s genre called the fotonovel, and film novelizations. The […]

The Podwits are sailing to new heights, literally this week.

For reasons that defy proper explanation, J and Dion delve into some of the worst that genre entertainment has to offer.  Waxing nostalgic over guilty pleasures like The Flash TV series and The Shadow feature film and trying desperately to forget misfires like CBS’ abortive Justice League TV pilot and fan films like The Death of Batman, the boys cover […]

Blake are back with part two of their hugely insightful Side Cast on Horror Movie Remakes. They jump right back into the in’s and out’s of the genre, and see how their favorite modern intrepretations stack up to the classics and why.
