For some, the words “Faster than a speeding BART train” might ring a bell or fond memories. This weekend, fans can relive their childhood memories—and maybe bring the kids to create their own—when Capt. Cosmic comes to Art Boutiki. Created and hosted by Bob Wilkins (1932–2009), Captain Cosmic was THE place to go for lovers of animated sci-fi cartoons like Ultraman and campy films like Godzilla vs. The Thing. Hosted by Lord Blood-Rah and Tom Wyrsch, An Evening with Capt. Cosmic gives fans two classic episodes, interviews Wilkins conducted with Star Trek and Star Wars celebrities, and the chance to meet the “Capt.” in person.
