Welcome back! You've arrived at the Phantom Galaxy Podcast, a journey into all things science fiction, fantasy and horror.
Nathan Bartlebaugh and Nathan Bell leap into unapologetic eye-rolling 80's nostalgia, while rolling their eyes at unapologetic 80's nostalgia.
Fueled by Blueberry Moonshine, the guys talk about Youtube Red's upcoming Karate Kid cash-in, Cobrai Kai, and then go down the rabbit hole of silly 80's martial arts extravaganzas, paying some special attention to schlocky faves like Ninja 3: The Domination and The Last Dragon.
There's also a spoiler-free review of Steven Spielberg's big-screen adaptation of Ernie Cline's Ready Player One. Can Spielberg harness the nostalgia zeitgeist while not succumbing to reference overload, the way Cline's book did? Or is this the 'Where's Waldo?' of 80's kid pandering?
Jump into our DeLorean and take a trip down memory lane...
