But before we can figure out how many candles should really be on F.P.'s cake, we've got to visit a creepy comic shop and do a little bare knuckle RPGing to see if the Red Paladin is really king of the mountain. All this, plus casting news for the upcoming spinoff Katy Keene, from your friends at KPP!

This time out, we're talking episode 13 of season three, "Requiem for a Welterweight." Recorded before Luke Perry's untimely passing, this one features high-stakes 'Dale action like boxing, under-cooked bacon, picking out a dress to drown in and a master plan we don't understand about putting prisoners in prison.

It’s a free-wheeling fourth episode
for Ka-Pow: The Pop Cultured Podcast.
Jordan, Cliff and Seth cover all the usual news from the worlds of
comics, movies and television, while a loopy, sleep-deprived Michael does his
best to keep focused and not run us too far off the rails. After he finally gets calmed down (and puts
his shirt back on), the team has just enough time to end the show with a
spotlight on two fun tabletop games.

There was an awful lot of news to discuss this week, so we hit as many topics as we can while still leaving time to spotlight an excellent piece of fan fiction and take a detailed view of the first wave of new DC: Rebirth comics. And don’t worry, millennials, unlike those oppressive old-fashioned movie theaters, we don’t care if you want to text while listening to the show.
