Phantom Galaxy

Welcome to Phantom Galaxy Episode 19. Time and space, good and evil, are turned upside down and topsy turvy as Nathan and Seth start their journey into Twin Peaks: The Return.

In keeping with David Lynch and the nature of this fascinating and often bewildering experience, our series will be more of a stream-of-conciousness discussion as we consider and wrestle with the ideas, imagery and themes that form the bubbling surreal stew that is Twin Peaks.

Note: This is complete spoiler territory. We intended to cover the first six episodes of the new series here, but instead we do a recap of the first series and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and then chat about the first two episodes of The Return.

We'll be back soon with episodes 3 through 6! Enjoy!

Welcome to Phantom Galaxy Episode 18, where Nathan and Chris sink below the waves to observe a world of gliding monsters and chum the depths of shark movies. We begin the episode with a new feature on the cast, ‘Phantom Rants’, where we hear from you about trends in sci-fi, fantasy and horror that really irk you. Tonight’s rant comes from Brian, who has cast an ‘ill eye’ on possession movies.

Then, we review the new summer shark bait, 47 Meters Down with Mandy Moore and Clair Hoult. We finish the whole thing off with a survey of sharks and the craziness they get up to in the movies, whether it be hanging out in dangerous weather events, causing snow avalanches, or building natural dams of human bodies. Come along, and remember, ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Shark!’
