Galactic Driftwood

Welcome back to another, fabulous episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we're coming to you the day after the fabulous Anime NebrasKon, October 20-22 at the MidAmerica Convention Center. Sadly, we weren't able to report live from the convention this year, but Bill and Seth were able to get there to scope the con out. In addition, we're joined by, fan favorite, Benito Garcia who ran...

Double double toil and trouble... Have I used that phrase before? Yes. Will I change it? No. Welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week we're talking spooky stuff, specifically, haunted houses! We're talking about a great old haunt in the Omaha area that sadly didn't survive the hit of the pandemic. But fear not, there's plenty of other area options for you wonder...

Do or do not, there is no try. This week the Galactic Driftwood Podcast is rocketing out of hyperspace to talk about Ahsoka, a Star Wars show, currently streaming on Disney+ and kicking up a LOT of memes online. We're gonna talk about Jedi, the Sith, what *spoiler* did when *spoiler* couldn't *spoiler* . It goes without saying that if you haven't seen this season yet, you should probably watch tha...

Gotta go fast. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're taking a look at one of the recent entries in the DC Extended Universe, The Flash! Beware, there's spoilers, and going back in time may tear the fabric of the multiverse! Is what I'd say if our time travel rules made more sense than the ones in The Flash. Enough editorializing! The review is in the show, not the description! Let us k...

Build it, and they will come. End it, or they will never leave. Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! We’re down a few crew members this week due to various causes, but that doesn’t matter because those losers didn’t go to DragonCon anyway! That’s right, this week we’re talking about DragonCon, one of THE convention experiences to go to...

It is a good day to roll death saves. Hey there, Drifters! We're coasting back into your local orbit this week to talk about drama in the TTRPG community. What? There's drama? Well... there's old drama as this was recorded a few weeks ago... But really, this weeks episode is less about enjoying the drama as it is to cool it down and maybe do a bit to restore order to the galaxy. Either way, we're...

Children of the night. What sweet music they make! Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, the Galactic Driftwood Podcast is back for another awesome episode! We're joined once again by show favorite, Stu Burns to talk about something right up his alley....Dracula! In particular, we (most of us) watched The Last Voyage of the Demeter, recently out in theaters. Tune in, but bewaaaaaare the spoilers and do...

A play within a play, a story within a story. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're taking a look at a movie that might have gotten past our screeners. We're going to be talking about Asteroid City, which you might be able to catch in the theater, but will probably have a better chance at seeing it on streaming. Granted, this isn't our usual fair but was an interesting experience! Tune...

Welcome, to Jurassic Park! Hey, Drifters! Welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week we're cruising through your solar system and being extra careful to avoid asteroids. Granted, crash landing on your planet today is a bit better than what happens to Adam Driver in 65 , the where he lands is less important than when, which is 65 million years ago (hence the title)...

To go where no one has 'noped!' before. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're discussing a thriller / mystery / supernatural horror series called The Outsider currently streaming on Netflix. If you're looking for a creepy mystery, this one might be for you. As is our nature, we're also going to be talking about the latest developments in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

"You chose.... wisely." Grab your bull whip, get your leather jacket and get ready for an adventure! No, not that kind of adventure! Weirdos. This week we're talking about the new Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. How does Indy hold up after all these years? What happened with all that stuff about the Crystal Skull? Should you go see it? How's the deaging on 'Young' Indy? Find out these answe...

Got $3500 dollars to drop? With Apple announcing their new *cough* $3500 headset, we thought now might be a really good time to talk about virtual reality headsets, what's currently on the market, what's coming in the near future, and whether or not if you die in the game, you'll die in real life. Join us for a discussion of the future of consumer electronics!

Salutations, fellow humans! Do not fear! Why would you fear? I am human and no threat to you or your delicious... I mean charming children. Ha. Ha. Boy, I'm glad we don't have to worry about those machines. They seem like really cool and funny, not-people. <Loud mechanical banging noises /> Phew. Sorry about that. The ship computer has been monitoring your planet's news sources, started sayi...

Gotta be a good person to go to heaven . Welcome back to another (belated) episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. We're broadcasting, delayed (a lot), once again from our mighty ship, orbiting your world and watching your TV. This week we're going to be talking about a couple new things headed your way: The Creator, and Season 2 of Foundation. What do we think about all this amazing new sci-fi...

YA! HYUP! YA! The good ship, the U.S.S. Galactic Driftwood is on a crash course for your planet because the pilot is too busy playing Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! We're going to crash unless we can stop him from playing! Maybe if the rest of the crew can get him talking about it he'll stop playing long enough to stop the ship from crashing! Maybe if we get him talking about how big the m...

Long live the fighters! Welcome back, fellow Drifters! This week we're going to be watching a bunch of trailers and getting hyped for what we see! Marvels, Ashoka, Dune part 2, even more! I don't know how we're stuffing so much into 45 minutes but if we don't have something that excites you this week...well I guess we just don't know what you like, and you should probably get in the comments! Got...

This is the way. Greetings and salutations, good Drifters! That's right, we're sailing back into your local orbit with this week's payload of pop cultury goodness. This week we're reconnecting with our favorite taciturn, helmeted mercenary and his Muppet of an adopted child, The Mandalorian. With the new season already in the can, we thought it was time to see how things were going in a galaxy far...

*Cue insane Nick Cage laughter*   The good crew of the U.S.S. Galactic Driftwood is drifting back into your local orbit this week with a look at the recent movie Renfield! It would be a gross negligence of our duty if we were going to talk about vampires, in any respect, without inviting our good friend Stu Burns to bring a little expertise to the podcast for a change. But that’s not all! The...

...To go where no one has gone before. Again...since we've already been talking about Star Trek: Picard's latest season. Here on the U.S.S. Galactic Driftwood we're getting really concerned about branching timelines, rogue Borg Hives, and what happens next. A lot happened in this last season of Picard, so we've got a lot to talk about this week. Thankfully, we're joined by fellow Trekkie and past...

Magic the Gathering is releasing some collectors editions cards that include limited editions of the Rings of Power and one, and only one, "One Ring" card.  How much will this card sell for?  How can you obtain it and the other limited edition Lord of the Rings cards?  We also dip our toes into the Shadow and Bone series and later discuss the age-old question, "If you were about to...

...well. Season 1 anyway. Welcome back aboard the good ship, Galactic Driftwood, for another delightful episode.
