Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings! 

Welcome to the first of Phantom Galaxy's Christmas episodes! 

This time we're joined by Wes, Gabe and T-man from the wonderful 'Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast' and we're looking at the ultimate holiday classic, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, and a few of it's best adaptations. 

Covering everything from the effectiveness of muppet/human co-acting, the ties between Carol and It's A Wonderful Life, and whether or not Tiny Tim is actually terrible, this episode dives deep into the heart of Dickens' masterpiece and the fictional miser at it's center. 

Sit back, grab a seasonal drink and snack, and enjoy!

Phantom Galaxy returns with another deep dive into a science fiction classic. This time, Nathan and Bill are joined by Dave 'Dr. Shock' Becker and, for the first time, by Jason 'Jay of the Dead' Pyles, from 'Horror Movie Weekly' and 'Considering the Cinema'. Together, they take a look at Alex Proyas' visionary and breathtaking sci-fi thriller 'Dark City'. 

Debuting before similar films like The Truman Show and The Matrix, Dark City boasts some of the most compelling ideas and images available in a science fiction movie of any type or era. Join us as we discuss our thoughts on the film's themes, ideas and visual and cinematic inspirations. 

Take a trip through a world where the night never ends and the sun only exists in your memories...

In one of our biggest episodes yet, Nathan and Bill are joined by Greg Morgan and Dave "Doctor Shock" Becker to discuss one of the most influential science fiction films of all time, Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey".

With an epic run time almost matching the movie itself, we explore the works of Kubrick and Clarke, and all the varying facets that make up this extraordinary cinematic work.----more----

Greg and Bill talk about what it's like to see the film for the first time in 2020, and Nathan and Dave remember the first time they encountered it. We also talk about the film's mighty influence on the genre, and a little about its sequel, "2010: The Year We Made Contact." 

Check it out!

Halloween draws near and the creeping shadows of October are already upon us. What better way to confront this season of mists than by reading some shivery and chill-inducing short stories?

The Phantom Galaxy welcomes author Victor Rodriguez to the show to help us come up with a list of the best fiction for the Halloween season. Victor discusses his own work in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy and horror and talks his short story collection ‘The Sound of Fear’ and various other projects, including his work in a brand new collection called ‘On Time’ from Transmundane Press.

Then Nathan, Bill and Victor traverse the weird and wonderful world of horror authors, stopping off to visit the likes of Stephen King, Clive Barker, Poe, Lovecraft and Charlotte Perkins Gilman with other singular and underrated voices like Thomas F. Manteleone and Robert R. McCammon.

Check out our choices, and then let us know which ones you’d choose!
