This week on the podcast we're talking "Origin Stories," the super-secret, superhero kind! Can a character's popularity and longevity be traced directly to an amazing origin? What happens when an origin is retconned or timed out? Plus we introduce a new game to Galaktacus called "The 8-Word Origin Story" in which we challenge both ourselves and you the listener to play! Give a listen here!

Part 2 of our toy talk is here! What else is there other than action figures? Plenty, from Legos, Construx and Lincoln Logs to Super Soakers, Nerf and Entertech , we cover the rest of our adolescence and young adulthood spent in the toy aisle. Plus we posit why Galaktacus no longer has room in its belly (or apartment) for the latest and greatest in the fully poseable, multi-articulated, sculpted plastic arts. Give a listen here (and don't forget Part 1 if you missed it the first time around!

An epic Galaktacus two-parter starts here! We're talking toys, specifically the action figure lines that dominated the 1980s. From all-time favorites like Masters of the Universe, Transformers, and Voltron to the more obscure like Adventure People, Power Lords, and Starcom, we're digging to the very bottom of the toy box. Plus we pitch the vintage toyline most in need of the Re/Tool/Boot/Tire (R3) treatment. Then come back next week for the action-packed conclusion (some assembly required). But listen here now!

Guilty pleasures. We all have them. Even this nigh-omnipotent podcast is not immune to enjoying that which is mediocre. Sorry, not sorry! We kick off the episode with an epic choose-your-own-adventure style retelling of Batman vs. Superman that will leave you saying, "I can't believe that's what really happened!" Then Galaktacus gets real and drops some serious truth bombs about the things we love and enjoy despite their obvious flaws. Galactic self-awareness at it's finest! So have a laugh at our picks and give a listen here!

The devil you say! Galaktacus once again devours an entire season of a Netflix series in one sitting (well one weekend). Spoilers abound for the second season of Daredevil. How does it compare to its Marvel predecessors? Do Elektra and The Punisher make or break the story? Is Matt Murdock the most boring character on the show? All this plus endless ninjas, epic fight scenes and the leathery return of Scott Glenn! Give a listen here!
