Part 2 of "Bring on the Bad Guys" has landed! Continuing from last week's episode we start with a bit of a head scratcher, "Why aren't there more female lead villains? Does it have anything to do with how they meet their demise?" From there it's a quick jump into the most malevolent malcontents from film and television (check out this amazing title card to get a quick taste of some of our faves). Do movie villains have it easier than their TV counterparts? Only Galaktacus can say for sure!

Episode #18: I Saw a Nightmare Walking My Way

The name Galaktacus originates from a youthful mispronunciation of a classic comic book character best known for eating planets. Before all of the blockbuster film franchises and the non-stop spoiler-filled internet coverage there was limited space to openly discuss such topics let alone their proper pronunciations. ("Is it Mag-neato or Mag-net-o?") So with that in mind, what started as a long-running, inside joke has now become a word that best defines the spirit of this podcast—looking at comic books, sci-fi, film, television, music, literature and gaming from the perspective of individuals who have grown up in this evolving "nerd culture" and are amazed by the ways in which it has taken over the mainstream. Galaktacus attempts to eschew that "angry nerd" character and celebrate the good, the bad and the weird that comes along with this current golden age of pop culture. So let the devouring begin!
