J. Marcus here with another of my open letters to folks I admire. This time, I am addressing the one and only Joss Whedon, creator of such incredible programming as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse, as well as the man behind the Avengers films (to name but a few of his incredible accomplishments.)

The boys get into some pretty heady, philosophical debates this week, concerning the right of the fan towards art. Starting with the cancellation of various TV shows they’ve known and loved, Dion and Brian segue into the idea of continuing a franchise’s life through new material, be it either penned by fans or officially sanctioned by the creators; is that ok? […]

J. Marcus is back, he’s on steroids (due to injury), and Brian has to deal with his nerdy ‘Roid Rage! What is Marvel doing to the Ultimate Universe?

What is a Podwit to do in this crazy, maddening, evolving (for better or for worse) world?! Do the classics in film (or any art for that matter) age like a fine wine or do they deserve to be torn down and placed against what is now called a “classic” by today’s critics? Also, do franchises suffer or […]

Crotchety old Dion brings up his issues with television story arcs, ultra-violence on the small screen and then parlays with J and Brian about art in cinema. Is Film dead (to borrow from the late 1960’s adage about Rock)? Come take a listen as the boys beat the old man back into submission and stick him […]

How Not To Make Television

I just finished watching this week’s episode of The Finder on my DVR. I like the show a lot. It’s about a guy who feels an obsessive need to find things for people. So, every week, he helps someone find something or someone that has gone missing. As with most shows, he has his friends that […]
Charmed, I’m Sure

One of the things I’ve truly come to appreciate about having a Netflix account is the ability to go back and watch shows that I didn’t have time for when they were on the air. One such example is Charmed. The show follows three witches (played by Shannen Doherty, Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs and […]
