The PoP!-Cast has returned from Toy Fair with the most luke-warm takes possible on Black Panther! Hope you enjoy hearing WAY too much about the joys of a private bathroom at a convention! All this, plus the return of Actual Fantasy Sports!

In honor of this week's release of the monumental BLACK PANTHER, the PoP!-Cast goes back to one of the first black-superhero films, the groundbreaking STEEL starring Shaquille O'Neal, the Dwayne The Rock Johnson of Bosnia! Listen closely and you'll realize a Shaq impersonation isn't that far off from Stone Cold Steve Austin.

This week, Lee works on breaking his hateful toddler son's spirit, while the family cat works on chipping away at Lee's. Kevin Owens blocked Mahoney on Twitter, while CBR gets dragged by everyone else. All this, plus those new Ninja Turtles. Whoo boy.

This week, Lee goes to traffic school and his Lego city has an Extinction Level Event, Kelly recaps the gayest thing he's ever seen in a wrestling ring, Knize recounts his journey through Los Tres Muertes, and Jose returns from the LBC with stories of pulled pork Bloody Marys.

This week the #POPCAST discuss Gerard Depardieu's dick nose, the time Jose was propositioned in an adult video store, Ben Hanscomb's puffy areolas, and Mario Tennis for the Nintendo Switch. All that, plus news featuring December's direct market sales slump, Bendis' first DC project, and Stan Lee...getting accused...AGAIN. Damn it, Stan.

Hey man, it was only a matter of time before Stan Lee caught a charge. This week, Knize watched The Golden Globes, Kelly watched Wrestle Kingdom 12, Jose's got his stroke down on the Shop-Vac, and Lee reveals Gene Simmons' VAULT.

It's the first show of 2018 (holy sh-- we've been doing this for 9 years) and the boys are back to recap their holiday breaks, countdown their Top 6 of 2017, and discuss how Marvel has destroyed the comic book retail industry. All this, plus a new PoP! Fantasy Football Champion*!

It's a late X-Mas present as The PoP!-Cast lays down a commentary track for 1990's holiday classic, Home Alone. Watch out for flying paint cans, and keep the change ya filthy animal!
