“Welcome True Believers!“  I recently had the luck to travel over to Los Angeles with Podwits contributor J. Blake on what proved to be one of the most exciting, and rewarding trips that I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy.

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“. Sorry for bringing that up. Instead, the boys look at casting for the big-budget Podwits film that may somewhere someday flit briefly through someone’s mind, [...]

KA-POW!  WHAM!  ZOWIE!  Onomatopoeias start flying as the Podwits run down some of the best and worst representations of superheroes on film and television!  So get out your cape, put on that mask and strap yourself in for this Podwits SPECIAL presentation… “Superheroes on Celluloid”

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.
