Phantom Galaxy

Nathan and Chris travel across the wastelands of frozen Christmas tree to spy the dark shadows of holiday-themed horror and genre films. Santa gets a dark make-over, Krampus comes calling, and the boys discuss why such melancholy and sinister subject matter makes its way into the 'most wonderful time of the year'.  

Merry Christmas everyone!

With Christmas right around the corner, Nathan and Nathan discuss the myths and traditions associated with Santa. Whether it's looking at the practice of encouraging your kids to celebrate a home invader or exploring the roots of the heretic-smacking firebrand saint who inspired ol' Kris Kringle, we delve into all aspects of that merry jelly-belly whose become such a centerpiece of the holiday.

Merry Christmas everyone!

NOTE: At the time of this recording, the shared news story about the dying child and Santa was being touted as truth. Now, that story's 'truthiness' is up in the air. We've left it in, and our reaction to it, as it still underscores the pervasiveness of this particular bit of Christmas mythmaking.

Seasons Greetings everyone! Nathan and Nathan bust out the egg-nog but not the mistletoe, and countdown their top ten favorite Christmas episodes of television series. From drunken, disillusioned Santas to holiday armadillos, the guys sift through all these seasonal treats and pull out the ones they feel best convey the holiday.

Nathan and Chris team-up to take on the Tall Man and his dark legions, tackling all five Phantasm movies, including the final one, Ravager, just hitting DVD and BluRay this week!

From making odd Wizard of Oz comparisons, heckling Reggie's pathetic attempts at romance, or just pondering the overall logic of this crazy universe, we have our work cut out for us in a dimension where nothing is ever what it seems...

SPOILERS ABOUND FOR ALL THE MOVIES! BEWARE!

Nathan and Nathan kick-back a bit for the holiday, and discuss their personal Thanksgiving traditions. Nathan Bell brings up a few holiday drink recommendations and Nathan Bartlebaugh ponders what movies make the best post-dinner viewing. We also talk board games, family, and food. Enjoy the episode and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

After a handful of pilot episodes, Nathan and Chris kick-off the official first season of Phantom Galaxy with a stomach-churning Thanksgiving special dedicated to feasts, both horrible and fantastic. Sure, there’s that pesky fondness for human flesh often found in horror movies, but we don’t stop there; alien fast-food joints, imaginary meals and a holiday dinner made up of Aztecs, dinosaurs and Old-West zombies are just a small part of the ridiculously absurd dining featured. Stay until the end for Nathan’s own nightmarish tale of a Thanksgiving mix-up gone wrong.

We also announce our first contest and details on how you can enter at the end of the episode.

We're back, and we're still here! Nathan and Nathan previously explored the way the world ends. What happens, though, when the unthinkable happens and you're left on the other side? Our culture is filled with stories of rebuilding in the face of complete collapse. From Mad Max to Planet of the Apes, here's a cheerful discussion of a dark topic. As many of the films, books and movies we are discussing are several years old, minor spoilers abound.
