'Galactic Galaxy' Is A Sci-Fi Comedy Web Series That Looks Like The Love Child Of 'Futurama' & The Cult Classic Film 'Heavy Metal'

Created and directed by filmmaker Anthony Ferraro, Galactic Galaxy is a sci-fi comedy web series like nothing you have seen before.

The screwball space opera tells the story of Fen (Jonathan Castile), an inept space werewolf who just happens to be the "chosen one" destined to save the universe from the dark obsession of galactic despot Dar Kuzar (Jeff Lewis).

Joining Fen on his misadventures is no-nonsense space trucker Pam (Julia Morizawa) and faux-robot Tom (Geoffrey Gould). Together, this rag-tag crew travels the cosmos aboard Pam's spaceship GR4NN3 ("Granny").

The Crew Of The GR4NN3

Anthony Ferraro has created a sci-fi comedy that gleefully revels in the absurd, while also paying tribute to the cult classic animated film Heavy Metal.

However, this web series has a visual aesthetic uniquely its own.

Galactic Galaxy looks and feels like a graphic novel on acid. Ferraro accomplishes this by transforming live-action performances via rotoscoping into animation. The animated sequences have been seamlessly integrated into surreal and vibrant 3D set pieces.

The universe of the series is populated with a menagerie of bizarre and eccentric characters who would feel right at home in an episode of Futurama - especially the main antagonist portrayed with scene-chewing abandon by Jeff Lewis of The Guild fame.

Lewis brings his trademark brand of sardonic zaniness to the role of addled big bad Dar Kuzar. His casting was an inspired choice which perfectly complements the outlandish tone of the series.

With it's amusing send-up of sci-fi tropes, distinctive visual style, and cast of weird, kooky characters, Galactic Galaxy is a smile-inducing, singular viewing experience.
