Pop! Pop! is back! We definitely didn't miss two weeks! And even if we did, it wasn't two months, so you're welcome! Rams v Patriots in the Super Bowl is big news! For some reason the Fast & the Furious movies are making spinoffs about the newest characteres in the franchise.

The guys are back! But they've also been here the whole time, remember last week's episode about Comic-Con 2016? That was great. This time around we're talking about a monopoly -- I mean Disney! They've just purchased Twentieth Century Fox and that means The X-Men & The Fantastic Four are back home at Marvel and that the original Star Wars Trilogy distribution rights are under the same roof as the rest of the universe. Does this mean Cyclops and Wolverine are going to be in the MCU!? Does th...
