The Galaktacus Season 3 Finale has landed! We mark the end of another 13 episode run by catching up with some current nerdy news, a little hype for next season (including the introduction of the Galaktacus Summer Reading Club, join now!) and a fond look back at the only individual who looks better in purple than us—Prince. Season 4 starts soon but in the meantime give a listen here!

Episode #40: Captain America: A Civil Conversation

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!
