1,225 episodes - English - Latest episode: 27 days ago - ★★★★ - 1 rating

Welcome to the greatest show in the multiverse! Fasten your seat belts for a rocketship ride to Altair City Spaceport's Rusty Rocket Tavern, where I discuss science fiction, fantasy, and horror books, comics, movies, TV, games, and toys. Powered by alien technology, eldritch abilities, and caffeinated beverages, since a summer night in 2012 fuelled by two double gin and tonics.

Expect a multi-topic geek-life zine or a single topic revisit or review of classic Doctor Who, Hammer House of Horror, etc.
