No, seriously.  That’s what this episode is called.  Don’t look at me, I don’t make these things up.  I just do what I’m told.  And to be honest, I’m not getting paid enough to take this kind of abuse.  But that’s beside the point.  What is this week’s episode about, you ask?  Hold on… I […]

J. and Brian are back to fill your earholes with scintillating verbal musings on John Byrne’s new Star Trek photo novel project, upcoming movie sequels both exciting and worrisome, and what exactly the Doctor’s chosen sobriquet actually means. Plus, Brian’s got a big announcement about… well, to find that out you’ll just have to listen […]

*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 […]

The Podwits themselves are god-knows-where, celebrating whatever bizarre holidays that get celebrated ’round this time of year in Podwits-land. It’s probably best we don’t ask too many questions about that. But while they’re away, here for your holiday listening enjoyment is one of our favorite podcasts from the past, our second cartoon special from February […]

This week the Podwits return to subjects very near and dear to their hearts — cartoons and comic books — as J. and Brian ponder whether this is, in fact, the end of an era for high-quality animated adaptations of great comic book stories.  Which stories would YOU like to see in animated form?  And […]

The boys are back with another special edition of The Podwits Podcast. This week it’s part two of our cartoons special, focusing on the changing era of animation from the 1960-90’s. This time around they chat about all the old cartoons they grew up with and loved as children. Come take a stroll down Memory Lane to […]

Join Brian every other Tuesday as he talks comic books from a reader’s perspective, both his new experiences with the medium and reflections on over thirty years of enjoying the finest in sequential art. I’ve made no secret of the fact I’m not a fan of “New Wave” science fiction. Don’t get me wrong, the […]

Join Brian every other Tuesday as he talks comic books from a reader’s perspective, both his new experiences with the medium and reflections on over thirty years of enjoying the finest in sequential art.
