Galacticast is a Canadian web series created by Rudy Jahchan and Casey McKinnon. The first episode aired on May 8, 2006.
The program is a sketch comedy video blog that parodies the latest science fiction or internet meme and responds to feedback from their loyal fanbase.[1] Though it first launched as a variety channel, it later switched exclusively to comedy.[2]
After a lengthy hiatus, the show came back in November 2008 with a fake commercial produced for comic artist Tony Moore.[3]
Cast
McKinnon and Jahchan usually take the lead roles in each episode, but also call on their friends and fellow actors to guest star.[2] McKinnon often plays multiple characters in a single episode.[4]
Production
Most episodes are written and directed by Jahchan, with the exception of Battlestar Galacticast which was directed by independent filmmaker Matt Campagna. McKinnon is the primary editor, but special effects are usually done by both creators.[5]
