Podcasts about ka pow the pop cultured podcast

The final event they cover throws them back to the 1990’s, just after the events of Fatal Attractions, when the Avengers and the X-Men teamed up to face a mutate rebellion in Genosha, rescue Quicksilver and Crystal’s daughter, and face the mutant terrorists Cortez and Exodus. Not only that, but they must worry about the politics of the matter as Nick Fury and SHIELD do not want the Avengers to intervene in a foreign country’s problems. Join Jesse Starcher, the Unspoken Decade’s Chris Armstrong, and Ka-Pow The Pop Cultured Podcast’s Jordan Lowe as they discuss “Bloodties.”

With Seth out sick, Michael invited his childhood friend Ronald P. Tramp to the studio to fill in.  What followed were a lot of laughs, some inappropriate sound effects, a few near-fistfights, and a shocking revelation even Michael didn't know about his origin that we can only refer to as "Crisis on County Road 10."  Combine that with breaking news about an insane DNA-thieving lawsuit involving the comic industry's greatest heel, the Perfidious Perlmutter, and you have all the makings of a classic episode of Ka-Pow: The Pop-Cultured Podcast.Length - 01:22:47Language - PG-13.  (Contains some adult language.)-0:06:37 - PERLMUTTERMarvel CEO - and our favorite real-life supervillain - Isaac Perlmutter involved in a series of lurid lawsuits too crazy to believe, involving genetic larceny, mail fraud and tennis courts.-0:21:04 - TV RECAPS AND REVIEWSCatching up on "Daredevil," "Stranger Things," "Atlanta," and "The Get Down," new members of the "Arrow" team, the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek" and a nifty bluetooth combadge, a "Black Lightning" pilot commitment from Fox, a teaser for "Legion," Ghost Rider on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," an animated version of a lost "Doctor Who" classic, and positive marks for "Transformers: Combiner Wars."-0:55:09 - MOVIE NEWS"Booster Gold" unconnected with the rest of the DC film universe, more "hope and optimism" promised for "Justice League," Joe Manganiello cast as Deathstroke and Billy Crudup joins "The Flash" as Henry Allen.-1:01:35 - COMIC BOOK NEWSAlan Moore retiring from comics, huge pre-order numbers for Marvel's "Champions" #1, a new origin by indie-friendly female creators in "Supergirl: Being Super," and things heat up in the "Whisperer War" storyline in recent issues of "The Walking Dead."

We only tackle two subjects in our most recent Ka-Pow: The Pop Cultured Podcast offering, but they are both doozies.  First, we debate the love-it or hate-it summer blockbuster "Suicide Squad," and then finish off with a report from Seth's adventures at Gen Con, the yearly gamer's paradise.  Agree or disagree with our take on the film?  Let us know in the comments below, puddin'!Length - 01:06:47Language - PG-13.  (Contains some adult language.)-0:02:55 - MOVIE REVIEWThe majority of this episode is spent with an in-depth, spoiler-filled review of the DC film "Suicide Squad."  We discuss and dissect the plot, all the characters, the creators, the costumes and everything else that went into adapting this story from the comic page to the big screen.  There is a lot to love - and also plenty to hate - about this controversial blockbuster and unlike Harley Quinn's shorts, we cover it ALL.-0:48:02 - GAMINGThen, Seth catches us up on his recent trip to Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana, the longest-running, most attended gaming convention in the world.  We get a brief rundown on what the show is like and the impressive venue that houses it, then hear about all the fun he had participating in a True Dungeon event, sitting in on game demos and buying armloads of brand new releases during what can only be described as "Gamer Christmas."

Our latest episode of Ka-Pow: The Pop Cultured Podcast kicks off with a reminder about the upcoming River City Comic Con and a peek into Michael's library of self-help books, then quickly turns to the most talked about topic of the week, "Pokemon Go."  Later, Seth takes time to share a favorite recent game, we debate which comic book characters had the worst hair of all time and a brand new guest makes an appearance, traveling all the way from the early 90s to talk about the care and grooming of mullets.  Up, up and away, y'all! Length - 0:57:27Language - PG.  (Contains some mildly adult themes.)-0:06:35 - GAMING"Pokemon Go" brings augmented reality to the masses as we wonder "what's next?", a tiny retro Nintendo causes a stir with the NES Classic Edition and Seth reviews the award-winning pistol-packing party game "Cash 'n Guns."-0:22:50 - GREAT DEBATEWe have a big laugh discussing the worst haircuts in comic book history, but get set straight when the ultra-fashionable Mullet Superman himself stops by the studio to have the last word.-0:40:01 - CROSSING THE STREAMSA recommendation for "Ash vs. Evil Dead," a Captain America statue going up in Brooklyn, our initial opinions on the "Ghostbusters" remake before getting to see it, George Takei's unexpected response to a gay Sulu, the CW's exclusive new deal with Netflix and Best Picture winner "Spotlight" now streaming.

It’s a free-wheeling fourth episodefor Ka-Pow: The Pop Cultured Podcast. Jordan, Cliff and Seth cover all the usual news from the worlds ofcomics, movies and television, while a loopy, sleep-deprived Michael does hisbest to keep focused and not run us too far off the rails.  After he finally gets calmed down (and putshis shirt back on), the team has just enough time to end the show with aspotlight on two fun tabletop games.Length - 0:57:39Language - PG-13.  (Contains some mild adult language.)COMICS3:12 - “Walking Dead: The Alien”Brand new digital story set in“Walking Dead” universe by Brian K.
