In this powerful episode of Father Son Galaxy, we sit down with Jamiel Owens, an author, advocate, and the creator of The Ausome Show. Jamiel shares his deeply personal journey from a life filled with childhood trauma to becoming a dedicated father and advocate. He opens up about the pivotal moment that changed everything: when his son, Shane, called a trash man "daddy". This experience motivated him to fully commit to being a father and to create a safe space for other dads to discuss their experiences and emotions related to raising children with special needs. Jamiel also discusses his role as the family relations coordinator at the Center for Autism Research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and his work as a volunteer firefighter.

This is a valuable conversation for any father seeking connection, support, and a community that understands.

In this episode, we unpack Michael B. Jordan’s transformative dual performance as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, a seamless embodiment that redefines his craft. We journey through the film's evocative cinematography, transporting viewers to the Jim Crow era Mississippi Delta, and explore the intricate tapestry of characters who bring this world to life.

This isn't just a review. It's an exploration of a film that pushes boundaries and asks hard questions.

In this episode, we dives deep into Captain America: Brave New World—now streaming on Disney+. Was this movie necessary, or just another MCU filler?

We unpack what actually worked (Sam’s new Cap suit! Adamantium! The Red Hulk!), what fell flat (Torres' comic relief, stiff dialogue, too many news breaks), and what this film is really setting up for—yes, we're talking Secret Wars, X-Men, and Eternals connections.

Did the story of Isaiah Bradley finally get the justice it deserved? Are Ruth Bat-Seraph and Leila Taylor characters we’ll ever see again?

Join us for this spoiler-heavy, MCU-literate breakdown, where we ask the question the film never answers: Did we really need this movie?

Since the Ironheart series is dropping later this month (June 2025), we’re revisiting our 2022 review of some of Marvel’s newest generation of heroes—including Riri Williams (Ironheart), Nova, Amadeus Cho, and the Champions.

It’s a great refresher on where these characters came from, what makes them tick, and how Marvel’s been building a younger, more dynamic lineup of heroes over the past decade.

Keith also makes an astute connection between the number of Marvel characters attending MIT — like Ironheart, Spider-Man, and others — and the university’s real-life reputation for innovation. It’s a fun lens on how Marvel blends science and storytelling.

Whether you're new to these characters or just need a quick catch-up before Ironheart hits Disney+, this one’s worth a listen.

This isn’t just a recap. It's a sendoff.

We unpack Marvel’s Thunderbolts—a story that’s less about saving the world and more about saving yourself. The film opens with questions around mental health and identity, and it quickly evolves into something bigger than just a team-up movie. This is a story about broken people figuring out who they are, what they’ve done, and whether or not they’re still worth saving.

We break down how the team comes together, what drives them apart, and why this version of the Thunderbolts isn’t the one you might expect. There’s action (yes, the car chase and the motorcycle moment are awesome), but what hits hardest are the emotional beats—especially between Yelena and Alexi. We also get a major new character who seriously shifts the power scale of the MCU, and we dive into what that means going forward.

Of course, we share our thoughts on the ending, the twist with Valentina, and where this team stands after the dust settles. And don’t worry—we cover the mid and post-credit scenes too (because that last tease? Yeah… we see it coming, but still lose our minds).

This is one of Marvel’s most layered stories in a while, and we’re all in.
