Two Packs is the trading card comedy podcast! Join host Geoffrey Golden and a special guest as they crack open packs of bizarre, retro trading cards from The A-Team to Xena: Dangerous Liaisons. While they discover what’s inside, they discuss forgotten pop culture, geeky childhood memories, and a thoughtful exploration of the human condition through a post-post-modern lens. (Or, y'know, Garbage Pail Kids.)

#51: PACK ATTACK: Pukeymon vs. Zero Heroes (w/ Asterios Kokkinos)
The series finale of Two Packs is a massive Pack Attack battle royale! Guest Asterios Kokkinos (Something Awful) and host Geoffrey Golden open packs of Zero Heroes and Pukeymon cards, then combine them to make a collectable card game.

All these important questions might very well be answered on the puketabulous final episode of Two Packs presented by Meltdown Comics!
