  • Episode #86: Spidey Super Stories Part 2
    Galaktacus swings back into action to continue our Spider-Man discussion, concentrating on the webcrawler's exploits on the big and small screens. Joining us is friend of the show and all-around comic fanboy, nay, fan-man, Anthony Crep. Is Spider-Man Homecoming's Tom Holland the best Spider-Man yet, melting the icy heart of spider-haters everywhere and making True Believers of us all? Find out this week on Galaktacus!

  • Episode #85: Super Spidey Stories Part 1
    Galaktacus takes some time to talk about a character near (literally in the case of Kettner and his back tattoo) and dear to our hearts as we dig into the spider sense-tingling, wall-crawling, web-slinging, model-marrying, web fluid-inventing, orphan everyman, Spider-Man! Just like Peter Parker himself would experience, this episode is late due to the challenges of balancing planet-eating with other personal challenges, but like Spider-Man, Galaktacus will prevail and bring you the best conversation this side of the East River.

  • Episode #84: The First Law of Galaktacus is Don't Talk About Galaktacus
    Galaktacus challenges the Maker and all of the Maker's apprentices when we examine Joe Abercrombie's wonderful fantasy fiction, from the epic-deconstructing First Law Trilogy, to the genre-bending followup novels, and the heart-breaking YA Shattered Sea series. Are we talking about a fan-favorite but not-yet mainstream fantasy author? You bet we are! Do you care? You will when you listen to the new episode of Galaktacus! You have to be realistic about these things.

  • Episode #83: Scott and Kettner Meet the Mummy
    The Galaktacus duo take a dark trip into a Dark Universe as we unwrap the bandages, dust off the sarcophagus, and dare to face the curse of the Mummy. From Boris Karloff to Tom Cruise, we all talk about the cinematic rise of undead Egyptian dustomancers and the place they hold in our jarred and preserved hearts. We also talk about the potential of Universal Studio's attempt at franchise resurrection and whether or not to leave some properties to rest in peace. Come and take a listen...if you dare!

  • Episode #82: Invisible Jet-Setting with Wonder Woman
    Galaktacus descends on the island of Themyscira to get our butts kicked in slow-motion by an army of Amazons as we discuss the film Wonder Woman. We talk about this bright spot in the bleakness of the DC Cinematic Universe and what it means for that franchise and all superhero movies going forward. This is a fun conversation you won't want to miss, and you can trust me because I'm currently ensnared by the Lasso of Truth.

  • Episode #81: Flash Fast
    Galaktacus descends upon Central City to visit our favorite Scarlet Speedster, the Flash.

Galaktacus then makes a quick visit to the CW Verse to discuss the future of the Flash television program. Run, don't walk, to download this episode!

  • Episode #80: Alienated Covenation
    This week Galaktacus comes bursting out of the chests (and backs) of the geek culture multiverse. We break down our love of xenomorphs everywhere but wonder who was asking for the true story of how aliens are made. Find out how Alien: Covenant stacks up to the best and worst of the franchise in terms of thrills, chills, and face-hugging kills!

  • Episode #79: Alternative X
    Galaktacus digs into the world of the most mutated mutants of the mutants by exploring the X-Men properties that don't quite fit in with the actual X-men. We're catching up with James Mangold's Logan and Noah Hawley FX series Legion to discuss what one can do with X-Men characters when you move away from the X-Men. Can this kind of move escape the convoluted timelines and Rush Hour Rattner taint of the X-Universe? Listen and find out!

  • Episode #78: Dungeon World Eater
    Galaktacus remains true to its name by devouring a specific type of world this week, Dungeon World. Scott and Kett talk about their experiences with Dungeon World, a tabletop role-playing game combining new school narrative-heavy rules with old school, Dungeons & Dragons-inspired dungeon-crawl, murder-hobo goodness. It's a fun conversation for gaming newbies and hardcore grognards alike, so grab your sword, magic wand, and ten foot pole as we descend into another episode of Galaktacus!
