At long last, Mike and Kevin engage in spirited discussion regarding Lick It Up, the Kiss LP that launched the "We're never putting the makeup on again, no way, no how" era! Al Castle, Senior Writer for Pro Wrestling Illustrated joins the guys for this roundtable chat about one of the most consequential flashpoints in the continuum of Kisstory. A grab bag of selections ranging from melodic to banal and from provocative to unabashedly raunchy, Lick It Up offers a good deal of material to debate. Along the way, Mike gives a shoutout to the folks at the "All Our Pretty Songs" podcast, Al touches on his longstanding appreciation for the work of Bon Jovi, and Kevin cracks dad jokes and dismisses comparisons between the late Aristotle Onassis and himself.
