  • Episode #76: Wednesday Warriors
    Galaktacus assembles to catch up on the nerdy stuff going on in our lives, including tabletop roleplaying games, movie trailers, and comic books! That's right, Galaktacus is invading the comic book stores and laying waste to the spinner rack as we introduce our new segment, Wednesday Warriors. In it, we start the conversation about two specific comics, Kill or Be Killed Vol. 1 by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips and Batman #21 by Tom King and Jason Fabok. One of these comics is great. The other...less so. Tune in to find out which one is which.

  • Episode #71: Revenge is a Planet Best Served Cold
    Galaktacus is back for the "big payback!" Following up on John Wick, we're talking our all-time favorite revenge films. From "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Point Blank" to "Unforgiven" and "The Revenant," no matter the era, the need for vengeance above and beyond the law is a truly entertaining trope. So give a listen here!

  • Episode #70: The Murdering World of John Wick
    On Galaktacus, our love of dogs knows no bounds and that's why this episode is devoted to the canine avenger himself, John Wick! Keanu creates yet another compelling chapter in his career as this new man in black. But why and how does John Wick work? And is he the hero we needed at this moment in time? Give a listen here http://bit.ly/Galaktacus and then come back next week when we dig deeper into the genre of the "revenge movie."

  • Episode #68: Lego My Batman
    Galaktacus and Legos have always clicked but what happens when you add Batman (our patron superhero saint) to the mix? On this episode, we deconstruct The Lego Batman Movie brick by brick. Is it a film that's fan service at its finest? Or is it an overproduced toy commercial? Give a listen here and come back next week for a follow-up on the DC Comics Animated Universe.

  • Episode #67: Sherlocktacus: Part 2
    Galaktacus loves a mystery! Is the BBC's "Sherlock" the definitive modern take on the character? Or is it "Elementary" my dear Watson? Either way you deduce it, we're at peak Sherlock Holmes—with no end in sight. So where does that leave these iconic characters going forward? We posit some new takes on reinventing the world's greatest detective and his cast of characters to clear up that very mystery! So give a listen here!
