Phantom Galaxy:The After Dark Episode
Phantom Galaxy goes After Dark! Nathan and Bill are joined by a giant team-up of Victor Rodriguez, Dave Becker, Greg Bensch and Greg Buzelli as we take a look at sexy genre movies and adult thrillers.  Each of the guests picks two movies and we discuss the sub-genre in general as well.It's a wild ride through bawdy sci-fi and turbulent horror, all the way through esoteric Japanese cinema and cheerful 80s schlock!  Stay tuned after the episode for a reading of H.P. Lovecraft's From Beyond by Victor! ----more----   You can also contact us and share your recommendations for show topics and stuff to review (books, beer, movies, whatever!) or leave us a Phantom Rant at Phantomcasts@gmail.com Links for Victor Rodriguez: https://vhrodriguez.wordpress.com/ The Sound of Fear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1694373576 On Time from Transmundane Press: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KBT7YY3 "Uncertain Treasure" in Savage Realms Monthly: May 2021: https://www.amazon.com/Savage-Realms-Monthly-collection-adventure-ebook/dp/B096BMHKH4/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=savage+realms+monthly&qid=1628678347&sr=8-4 Inside the Sound of Fear: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-sound-of-fear/id1537169966 Find Bill Van Veghel's other podcasts at: Land of the Creeps podcast - http://landofthecreeps.blogspot.com/ Other places to find Bill: https://www.facebook.com/bvanveghel https://letterboxd.com/billhorrorguy/ https://landofthecreeps.blogspot.com Other places to find Greg Bensch: https://fatherandsonwatchhorror.com/podcast/2021/10/15/ep-91-halloween-5-amp-6 https://phantomgalaxy.podbean.com/e/phantom-galaxy-the-best-horror-movies-of-2020/ Twitter: Greg Bensch@Qua419   Other places to find Greg Buzzelli: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/monsters-and-the-mosh-pit/id1604470139 Twitter: @MonstersMoshPit Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/712317883066333/ Dave's other places on the internet: Film blog: DVD Infatuation.com On Twitter: @DVDinfatuation On Facebook: DVDinfatuation On Instagram: @dbjb6972 On Letterboxd: @dcoshockhmp YouTube Channel: Visit W3Schools Dave Becker's Podcasts: Horror Movie Podcast Land of the Creeps horror podcast DVD Infatuation @ Considering the Cinema: https://www.consideringthecinema.com Check us out at all the places below:  www.phantomgalaxy.podbean.com Twitter: @fantomgalaxy You can also find us on Facebook at: The Phantom Galaxy Podcast  You can also contact us and share your recommendations for show topics and stuff to review (books, beer, movies, whatever!) or leave us a Phantom Rant at Phantomcasts@gmail.com

Jan 31 2023
Phantom Galaxy: The X-Files Season 5 Roundtable
Welcome back to the X-Files Round Table returns to Phantom Galaxy with over four hours of coverage for the fantastic 5th season! Nathan is once again joined by Victor Rodriguez from Inside the Sound of Fear, Dave Roy from The Great Fright North,,  X-Files super-fan Karen Wagner, and introducing Shannon Barnes who sits in for Tommy Wood this time, but will be a regular co-host going forward. ----more---- Perhaps the tightest and most consistently good season of the show to-date, Season 5 represented an experimental undertaking for television; deliver an entire season filmed after the upcoming theatrical release that will follow it. As a result, the storylines are more structured, the monsters of the week more plentiful and strategically planned. Duchovny and Anderson, at the top of their fame, have never been better. So join us as we follow Mulder and Scully through the subterranean tunnels of the Everglades, into cubicle farms overseen by demonic insectoid overlords, down the arcane virtual spaces of the World Wide Web, all the way to the last place you'd ever expect them....a Cher concert!  Enjoy, and remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!  Links for Karen Wagner: Land of the Creeps 253: Cult Classics  Links for Victor Rodriguez: https://vhrodriguez.wordpress.com/ The Sound of Fear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1694373576 On Time from Transmundane Press: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KBT7YY3 "Uncertain Treasure" in Savage Realms Monthly: May 2021: https://www.amazon.com/Savage-Realms-Monthly-collection-adventure-ebook/dp/B096BMHKH4/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=savage+realms+monthly&qid=1628678347&sr=8-4 Inside the Sound of Fear: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-sound-of-fear/id1537169966 Reel Talk Links and Contact: Join the Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast group on FacebookFollow them on Twitter: @reel_castEmail: reeltalkmoviecast@gmail.com   Dave Roy ‘The Great Fright North’: https://thegreatfrightnorth1975.podbean.com/ Don't miss this episode, and check us out at all the places below:  www.phantomgalaxy.podbean.com Twitter: @fantomgalaxy You can also find us on Facebook at: The Phantom Galaxy Podcast  You can also contact us and share your recommendations for show topics and stuff to review (books, beer, movies, whatever!) or leave us a Phantom Rant at Phantomcasts@gmail.com

Phantom Galaxy: Do Blade Runners Dream of Enduring Franchises?

Phantom Galaxy: Do Blade Runners Dream of Enduring Franchises?
Welcome back to the Phantom Galaxy!  As Bill Van Veghel enjoys his well deserved vacation in the wilds of Canadian, Nathan brings in guest co-host Victor Rodriguez to talk all things related to the Blade Runner franchise. Starting with the quirky and dizzying novella 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick, Nathan and Victor roam the violent, rain-soaked streets of the future, hunting down each divergent part of this eclectic franchise.  We take a deep-dive into the once neglected and now celebrated 1982 Ridley Scott classic that stands at the center of this universe, and then briefly explore a forgotten 1995 sequel novel by K.W. Jeter, the astounding 2017 sequel by Denis Villeneuve, and the 2021 animated series Black Lotus.  Along the way we talk all things related to Blade Runner and the central theme of humanity and its definition that carries through each and every incarnation, discussing how each entry deals with those ideas.
