Galaktacus takes some time to talk about a character near (literally in the case of Kettner and his back tattoo) and dear to our hearts as we dig into the spider sense-tingling, wall-crawling, web-slinging, model-marrying, web fluid-inventing, orphan everyman, Spider-Man! Just like Peter Parker himself would experience, this episode is late due to the challenges of balancing planet-eating with other personal challenges, but like Spider-Man, Galaktacus will prevail and bring you the best conversation this side of the East River.

Episode #86: Spidey Super Stories Part 2

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!
