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 […]

After a brief trip to the Twlight-Zone that is NPR, the boys are back on form in a brand-new podcast designed to titillate your ears and warm your senses.  The Podwits are introspective this week, looking to the future of their beloved genre offerings and striving to see if they will ever truly find genre […]

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 […]

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 […]

In this week’s podcast, our boys take one step beyond into the tantalizing world of holiday foods gone wrong.  With a brief detour into madness, the wits of Pod once again ask the question, “is Porn truly the greatest example of audience-driven entertainment?”  All that plus the latest skinny on the possible Justice League film […]

Lucas may have sold out to the Mouse House, but The Podwits are still independent originals!  But that won’t stop us from jumping on the bandwagon of those discussing this earth-shaking media news!  After all, we ARE Internet know-it-alls!  J and Dion also take a look back at the show that was one of Joss […]

It’s time once again for some Podwits goodness, straight from our mouths to your ears (in a not so disgusting kinda way).  This week Dion and J. debate whether or not George Lucas or Shia LaBeouf is the root of all evil and heap lots of gooey praise on the the one and only Joss […]

Real life conspired to delay my gratification, but yesterday, ten days after its nationwide American release, I finally saw The Avengers. By now, reams* have been written about how good the movie is, how thoroughly it entertains on multiple levels thanks to its snappy Whedonesque dialogue, its insightful Whedonesque explorations of character relationships, and its […]

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 […]

Brian’s got a chip on his shoulder and a bug up his butt about some new remakes in the Hollywood pipeline, J. and Dion try to talk him off the ledge, and many film buff hijinks ensue. Plus listener comments and your Borgnine fix. Getcher red hot Podcast right hee-yah!
