Something wicked this way comes!   Would you contract a witch to get revenge on your worst enemy?  Maybe you'll give that a second thought after listening to this week's Galactic Driftwood Podcast.  On this episode we're talking about Brand New Cherry Flavor, Netflix's horror show that stands a decent chance of sickening out even the most hardened of horror veterans.  Buckle in...

I can do this all day. What if Peggy Carter got the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers?

Only time and our nagging will tell! If that's not enough for you, we've got some Nerd News for you too!

This week we're navigating into the metaverse with another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. We don't talk about video games nearly as much as Seth would like to on this podcast, and this week he's rectifying that by introducing the group, and you, to one of his favorite RPGs (role playing game), Persona 5! If you've been curious on what the buzz is about, or you've never heard of it befo...

Going where everyone has gone before . Guys, the 80s and 90s were weird, and we just need to come to terms with that. To better explore that weirdness, we watched Earth Girls Are Easy, a weird movie with weird people in it, and we can definitely recommend that you watch it too.

This is the way. That's right nerds; we're talking about The Mandolorian again! We've all seen the entire second season and we've got plenty to talk about with that last, spoilerific episode.

Happy Life Day! Yub nub, and what not! On this episode, the Galactic Driftwood Podcast gathers around a warm fire (not really, we're still in pandemic times here) and talks about the new Star Wars Lego Holiday Special that recently came out on Disney+.
