Pod Stallions

Who Watches the Watchmen?? WE do! And we've read it, too! Yes, it's time for a very special heartwarming episode of Pod Stallions, where we cover the apocalypse-straddling, superhero-deconstructing epic classic by A---M---- (name redacted) and Dave Gibbons. We cover its original release, the '09 film, the prequel/sequel comics, merch, the HBO series and even the Dr. Manhattan promotional condom! (...

Pod Stallions 103: Martin Short Some things in life are constants: the sun goes up/down, the world turns, Coke & Pepsi will never see eye to eye, and dogs RULE. There's a comfort in that, never better exemplified than by a Man Called Short. Martin Short. He always gives 100%, always 100% funny no matter what, and the laughter and joy he's given the world are incalculable. We're lucky to live i...

Even as kids, the Pod Stallions boys voraciously kept up with their periodicals. Newsweek, National Geographic, Highlights and Dynamite, to name a few. But one mag stands above all others for most information gleaned: Doctor Who Magazine. (Formerly DW Monthly, formerly DW Weekly). Without whom, we wouldn't have been half as Who-smart as we were. Even tho we kept it quiet. Join us then as we give t...

It's hard to believe, but just a short time ago we had the wacky idea to record the pop culture-centric phone chats we regularly had, in the hopes that there'd be a few other people out there that would find them amusing. Seems our instincts were right, cuz we shut our eyes, hit the gas, drove off the cliff and before we knew it, we headed towards syndication. Yes, it's the long-awaited, mythologi...

Never say we don't finish things; here is the second part to an episode we started in 2015 (we were just kids them) where J and B discuss the many Planet of the Apes sequels, the tv series,  the cartoon, the Tim Burton movie and the Matt Reeves take on Apes. It's a wonderful trip to 3978 that hopefully won't have you saying, "Damn you, Jason and Brian, damn you all to heck". Follow us on Face...

"We're living in such strange times that it truly feels like yesterday that we were going over our 'Best Of 2020' list, commenting on how quickly we got there. Well, we blinked a few times, and 2021 is done and gone, so here we are again with our picks of bits that brightened our outlooks. Movies, shows, books, toys and more random musings and recommendations abound in our (yes!) second December e...

What happens when the director of "Singing in the Rain" directs an Alien knock off?

In this installment, Jason and Brain wax nostalgic over the days when we weren't spoiled by three Superhero movies a Summer. The time when Captain America had a van, Spider-Man was a Von Trap child, and Sinestro used to open for Sinatra. "Where are you coming from Spider-Man" explores what a Superhero loving child had to choose from in the '70s, reruns of Batman, a decent series about the Incredib...

Dust off your spear gun; this one's all about Spies and spy-like products. Jason and Brian talk about their love of the genre, including James Bond, Matt Helm, Derek Flint and there was just no way of avoiding discussion of "A Man Called Sloane".

We decided to put the show up a little early for the site's seventh anniversary. Jason and Brain talk about their memories of the first time they saw Star Wars anything. The toys, the comics, the magazines, the schoolyard rumors, the knockoffs, it's all there. We even get waaaay off tangent and start talking about Benson's replacement on Soap and why exactly do Logan 5 and Jessica 6 have&nbsp...
