Review by Luke Whitmire This time Iron Man belongs to the prolific action screenwriter from the 80′s, Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Predator, The Long Kiss Goodnight, The Last Boy Scout, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), and his Iron Man is full of irreverent humor and wit that has turned him into one of the best screenwriters in the [...]

On the Podwits Podcast, we don’t examine the greater mysteries of life, the universe and everything. Mainly because the computer that we were using for such things was destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass, but we digress. Instead, we look at the bigger picture of pop culture; where our movies are going and [...]

Yesterday I did what seems like my civic duty (after all everyone’s doing it) and went to see The Avengers. This film had a lot going for it before I even got into the theater, so to say that I really wanted to like this movie is an understatement. First, and foremost, it had the potential to [...]

This one really is our twenty-fifth regular weekly podcast, so we look back at the good times because we have to or Commander Riker will die! No, wait, that was “Shades of Gray“.

By now everyone who cares knows that comic book über-geek (and, oh yeah, hugely successful TV and film writer/director) Joss Whedon is helming the forthcoming team-up extravaganza The Avengers, the culmination of all Marvel’s film efforts for the last few years.
