Phantom Galaxy: The X-Files Season 5 Roundtable

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 14:01:13 -0500

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!

Phantom Galaxy: Do Blade Runners Dream of Enduring Franchises?

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 08:50:59 -0400

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.

Phantom Galaxy: The X-Files Season 4 Roundtable

Sat, 04 Jun 2022 17:06:06 -0400

Welcome back to the X-Files Round Table returns to Phantom Galaxy with a 4 hour rundown of the glorious 4th season!

Nathan is once again joined by Victor Rodriguez from Inside the Sound of Fear, Dave Roy from The Great Fright North,Tommy Wood from Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast, and X-Files super-fan Karen Wagner, returning from last episode! ----more----

A darker, grittier and more emotional season than the previous 3, the fourth began its movement towards a feature-length big-screen movie, that would unveil itself at the end of the fifth. Before that, we get a season crammed with conspiracies, killers, creatures and a sense of grand, impending doom.

But our jaunt through the season is anything but dour; we have some big laughs and dig deep into the competing threads of the alien mythology and the growing, enticing and sometimes frustrating chemistry between its two wonderful leads.

Oh, yea, and we talk about those pesky Peacocks!

Enjoy, and remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Illustrated Fan #8:Our Favorite Disney Animated Films

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 09:40:33 -0400

Nathan and Dave return to the Illustrated Fan with a big episode celebrating the animated films of Walt Disney and reviewing the stop-motion Netflix film 'House'.

Dave and Nathan bring back Khristian Knecht from the Miyazaki episode (now a college graduate!) and each host shares their top 10 Disney animated films after they review the trippy, unsettling, quirky House, an anthology of strange tales set within the same setting.

For our Disney list, we decided to exclude the following:

* films that were essentially and primarily live-action but combined animation; Pete's Dragon, Bed-knobs and Broomsticks, Roger Rabbit would fall into this arena.

* Pixar films. We will eventually do a Pixar-centric episode later this year!

Without further ado, check out the episode and see which films Nathan, Dave and Kris chose as their favorites!

Strange Frequencies #4: Love Songs to Put a ’Spring’ in Your Step

Sat, 19 Feb 2022 17:07:10 -0500

Welcome to the fourth episode of Strange Frequencies!

This series within Phantom Galaxy is hosted by Bill Van Veghel, our resident music afficianado.

With the help of guests, Bill explores the worlds where music and fiction meet, taking a look at films with musical themes, albums and artists who use their medium to tell stories and explore ideas, and that gulf in between that includes musicians turned actors and directors, soundtracks and ambient music, and much much more.

In this episode dedicated to love and the songs that honor it, Bill brings back podcaster extradoinaire Ryan Stockstad of the Macon County Movie Club to join he and Nathan as they count down their top 5 favorite love songs of all time!

Then Bill picks the romantic 2014 horror/scifi movie 'Spring' to discuss. Not all of our reviewers were smitten this time, and it makes for a fun back and forth!

The Illustrated Fan #7: Spirited Away with Princess Mononoke

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 15:33:35 -0500

Nathan and Dave finally get around to talking the great Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki and two of his most influential works, Spirited Away and Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke).

In order to do the master justice, we've invited on Miyazaki fan and animation student Khristian Knecht to discuss the films and their influence on the medium, as well as Miyazaki's own significance to film in general.

Our short film is actually a trailer for a little-seen tv pilot called Yuki's Sun, which marks the first directorial project Miyazaki ever did.

We also briefly discuss the Studio Ghibli documentaries "Never Ending Man" and "Kingdom of Dreams and Madness".

Phantom Galaxy: The X-Files Season 3 Roundtable

Sat, 04 Dec 2021 11:34:36 -0500

The X-Files Round Table returns to Phantom Galaxy with a deep dive on Season 3!

Nathan is once again joined by Victor Rodriguez from Inside the Sound of Fear, Dave Roy from The Great Fright North,Tommy Wood from Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast, and, making her Phantom Galaxy debut, X-Files super-fan Karen Wagner joins the team!

We cover every single episode of Season 3, some in more detail than others, and come to the conclusion that this might be the strongest season of the entire show! X-Files national treasure Darin Morgan has a trilogy of great episodes, and the mythology expands to include one of its hallmarks, the Black Oil!

New allies and new enemies appear, and we also come across one of the greatest missteps of the series--hint: killer Ecuadorian curse cats!

Enjoy, and remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Phantom Galaxy: Thanksgiving Movies

Tue, 23 Nov 2021 16:43:39 -0500

Happy Turkey Day all!

Nathan and Bill (who already celebrated Thanksgiving in October!) invite friend of the show Brian Scott on to discuss movies related to the holiday.

Of course finding good movies outside of the same 3 or 5 titles can be difficult, with the pickings slimmer than a turkey carcass after the last round of leftovers. So, we've tried to each bring two titles to the table that evoke the mood of the holiday or feature it in some manner, regardless of genre.

And, in the end, some of these are honestly barely related, but we put the question to you.

What are some of your go-to Thanksgiving movies? Head over to the Phantom Galaxy group page and let us know!

Phantom Galaxy: The X-Files Season 2 Round Table

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 07:10:13 -0400

The X-Files Round Table returns to Phantom Galaxy with a deep dive on Season 2!

Nathan is once again joined by Victor Rodriguez from Inside the Sound of Fear, Dave Roy from The Great Fright North, and Tommy Wood from Reel Talk: A Movie Podcast.

Our longest episode to date, no nook or cranny of the episodes or the series mythology (to this point) is left unturned as we contemplate the growing relationship by Mulder and Scully, the shifting sands of the alien conspiracy, and the evolution of X-Files pantheon of "monsters".

We take turns highlighting specific episodes, but give a little time to every season 2 installment! It's an epic, for sure.

Enjoy, and remember, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Welcome to the second episode of Strange Frequencies!

This new series within Phantom Galaxy is hosted by Bill Van Veghel, our resident music afficianado.
