A Note from the Founder of POPX
Growing up as a child in the 80's, my entire upbringing was centered around comics, cartoons, superheroes and science fiction movies. Now, as an adult, some things just don't change. POPX is the culmination of pop culture's love for all things geeky, and embodies wholesome family fun wrapped in retro neon lettering and "Synthwave" vibes. With the world falling in love over and over with the world of comics, we're the podcast that covers all the latest films, streaming series and events in pop culture. Join us, shall you!?
