Episode 635. No Michael this week so honestly, I have no idea what these two fools talked about… I don’t want to listen to find out. Something about when and why you listen to KISS. And I guess they also talk about Nick Simmons, Sophie Simmons and Evan Stanley and what they are doing. Press […]

Episode 634. Lots of topics this week… we start off talking about “B” level artists.

Episode 631. We talk about two KISS products… a Hot In The Shade pin and some brand new KISS 70s costume action figures. What do you think of each item? That Hot In The Shade pin is a trainwreck, the product copy is so wrong and the pin looks like crap. But… the action figures, […]

Episode 626. This week Mark and Michael sound off! Is the KISS Army fan club worth joining? $50 a year for early access to buy merchandise? Come on!

Episode 625. Groundbreaking episode… this week Mark Cicchini gets up, walks to another room, finds a collectible, brings it back, sits down and OPENS IT!
