The ‘Wits of Pod are all over the place this week! Brian lays out his new exercise regiment, utilizing The Couch-to-5K ® Running Plan, before they dash into the highly recommended documentary about the BBC series Sherlock entitled Unlocking Sherlock. Then the lads get into a spirited discussion about VFX pioneer and filmmaker Douglas Trumbull‘s new 4K 3D 160fps MAGI system and if it could actually save Cinema or, in fact be another costly gimmick that just pushes moviegoers away? And Social Media‘s purpose in society is redeemed in the fellas’ minds after an anonymous Sleuth in Philly helps solve a Hate Crime! All that, plus a new Borgninian moment, and a what’s-Brian-drinking-tonight, so… come on down!!! #PodwitsBeer

In this week’s edition of “The Podwits Podcast”, Brian is missing and J. is transmitting from the secret underground bunker known as Camp Niven, but that doesn’t stop him from putting on his grumpy pants and engaging in a little game known as “In My Day” with his good pal, octogenarian Dion Baia. As the two lament the passing of what may have been the greatest generation, will someone please put on some Matlock and calm these two down?!?! I think Dion may have soiled himself… And honestly, J. really needs to put his teeth back in — It’s unsightly. *shudder*. Enjoy the nostalgia in this week’s mind-bending episode of “The Podwits Podcast”.

An all new Podwits podcast is GO! This week, “Sugarthroat” Baia goads J. and Brian into gladiatorial combat over the quality (or lack thereof) of the new season of Doctor Who. But, in typical Podwits fashion, that soon becomes a discussion of the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters (and what went wrong with Ghostbusters II), NSFW porn parodies, the Tommy Westphall Multiverse theory, and the Wold Newton Family of fictional characters. Yes, the Podwits are once again jawing, chattering, nattering, and carrying on for your listening pleasure!

Deep Thoughts, by J. Marcus
Posted: 30th August 2014 by Podwits Administrator in Comic Books, Doctor Who, Film, Film Review, History, News, Podcast, Science Fiction, Television, Watching the DoctorTags: 12th Doctor, Batman, Batman Begins, Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale, Christopher Eccleston, Colin Baker, David Tennant, Doctor Who, Martin Freeman, Matt Smith, Michael Keaton, Peter Capaldi, Roger Corman, Sherlock, Steven Moffatt, The Adventures of Tintin, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Tim Burton, World War Z
J. Marcus gives Dion his immediate reactions to the appearance of the 12th Doctor in last week’s Doctor Who Season Debut, not mincing words or pulling punches. Has watching it a half a dozen times on the DVR and seeing it in the cinema changed his mind? Then the back-end of the ‘cast is filled with the news announced by Warner Brothers that no less than 10 DC Comic-related films are in the works, and they will ALL BE DEVOID OF HUMOR– is that the right thing to do, much less announce?! Cmon down and have a listen at a sparkling, pristine, new edition of The Podwits Podcast!

This week the Podwits learn the valuable lesson of speaking from where you know. Bri has studied up on The Avengers (not THOSE Avengers — Steed & Mrs. Peel) and is ready to share all that he’s learned. Of course this won’t stop J. from bringing up the tawdry business of the newest Doctor Who product (and we’re not talking about the series premiere from tonight!) Confused? There’s only one cure for that! A heaping dose of The Podwits Podcast.
No, The Other Avengers.

There’s joy and sadness in this week’s all-new Podwits podcast, as the boys form a little appreciation society for the classic 1960s TV series The Avengers, and share their personal reactions to the passings of Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall. Plus Brian commits murder! (Well, insecticide.) Get all the laughs and all the feels — listen or download below!
In this podcast, J. mentions The Complete Emma Peel Megaset, and Brian talks about Bogart and Bacall: A Love Story by Joe Hyams.

The wits of Pod have the band back together and it feels so good… Brian praises Guardians of the Galaxy ; Dion casts his doubts about the new reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that hits theaters this weekend; and J.- well he does his best not to evoke that name which is not to be mentioned… (Hint: the guy with the big S, and even a bigger hint, it doesn’t work! ). The boys proceed to debate the merits of a good summer movie that has heart, and the crappy tent-pole film that only has one thing on its mind: your money! Plus The Podwits make some HUGE announcements! All that and an all new Borgninian moment! So come give it a spin!
