No new podcast this week, folks.  Due to technical difficulties beyond our control, The Podwits can’t serve up a new cast this time.  HOWEVER, we’re happy to bring you back one of the tried and true audio delights from our past! Set the Time Circuits to November 2012… Disney just bought Lucas, and the Podwits […]

Strap yourselves in for a ride into the Wild Blue Yonder with The Podwits!  J. has anything but buyer’s remorse over his biggest, latest purchase… leaving Dion to ponder the moral implications of what is to come!  In the meantime, a major science fiction publication makes a comeback on the web in the form of […]

The boys are at it again! Dion’s on about Clint Eastwood being a real life hero and scorned Valentine’s Day lovers from China, J’s back from space and talking shop about Superman, and Brian is loving Marvel’s new Guardians of the Galaxy and voicing his contempt for the ineptitude of DC Comics. Plus an update on the 22nd Annual Borgnine Night at […]

5…4…3…2…1… Blast-0ff with The Podwits as they take another flight of fancy through pop culture, through your ears, beyond nostalgia and landing at the soft, chewy bit that is the pleasure center of your brain!  This week J and Dion have to go it alone against such powerful forces as hippy villains and wax nostalgic […]

The weekend of May 18, 2013 will live long in my consciousness.  It will stand for quite some time as the weekend that two of my favorite franchises tried to hit one out of the park… and failed miserably.  You can count my “favorite” franchises on one hand.  Among them are Doctor Who, Superman and Star Trek (not […]

Accept no substitutes!  The Podwits are back once again and THIS time it’s personal!  The boys picked up a few good books and are talking remakes.  Do we really need ’em?  And WILL comics legend Frank Miller ever make a decent movie again?  The Podwits race through all this and more… but did someone cut […]
