Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast #49 ”Good Enough”

In this whirlwind episode of Ka-Pow the Pop Cultured Podcast, we celebrate finally becoming a blip on Larry Hama's radar, announce a t-shirt giveaway for next week's one year anniversary and get a visit from Ronald P. Tramp in support of Brad's wife.  And all that is before we even get to a metric ton of comic book news, more opinions on "Iron Fist," trailers for what are shaping up to be a couple of the best movies of the year and a momentous Star Wars showdown.  Is it our best episode ever?  Maybe not.  But, as always, it's good enough.
