Galactic Driftwood

Who ya gonna call? The Galactic Driftwood Podcast! We're back for another week, once again with special guest host Stu Burns to talk about the many paranormal and haunted locations in Nebraska. It's October, and if there was ever a time to tell a few ghost stories, this is it! So tune in and listen to Stu and company talk about spooky stuff happening in small (and big!) town Nebraska. Trust me. We're super haunted up in these parts. You're going to want to tune in.

Fly me to the mooooooon and let me play among the stars. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're joined by Eric Jon Larson (aka Lord Bobbins), organizer, writer, and mad genius extraordinaire behind TeslaCon. TeslaCon is the largest annual immersion event for Steampunk fans in North America and is a standout among steampunk conventions for its ability to immerse attendees in a steampunk world through audio and video storytelling, as well as live action, throughout the venue for the duration of the convention.  Now in its eleventh year, each year's convention has its own theme, scripted stories, and events that build on the previous year’s convention and sets the stage for next year’s TeslaCon.  This year’s theme is built around H.G. Well’s “War of the Worlds” novel. Please join us for an in-depth conversation with Eric on this extraordinary convention to find out what he has planned for this year, hear some entertaining stories about previous years conventions, and get a sneak peek in

Vision vs. profitability. Art vs business. Good vs. evil! This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast, Stu Burns is back to talk about Mario Bava, a fantastic Italian horror movie director who has largely fallen by the wayside and been forgotten. Regarded as the father of the modern slasher flick, his films suffered from being edited, and changed for foreign audiences as studio big wigs re-cut them to be what they thought would be "more marketable". Join us as we talk about Mario Bava, his movies, his legacy and other movies that have been re-cut, and in the process harmed for the sake of marketability. Trust me, this is an episode you shouldn't miss! Terryifying Haunted Houses in Omaha: http://www.npdodge.com/blog/2017/10/terrifying-haunted-houses-omaha-area/

On the first night, you hear him. On the second night, you see him. On the third night, you feel him. 2020 and 2021 have been a bit rough on all of us, including the movie industry. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast, we're talking about a horror movie that slipped through the cracks during the long, dark pandemic (and the Fox / Disney merger): The Empty Man. Join us as we discuss a great horror movie that's destined to be a cult hit; whenever people figure out it exists.

It's your friendly, neighborhood podcasters, back with a brand new episode! This week we're reaching into the grab bag of nerd topics to talk about upcoming movies and shows that we're looking forward to watching: the recent Spider-man: No Way Home trailer, Shang Chi, Wheel of Time and more!

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 fellow astronauts, things are about to get weird up in here.

I can do this all day. What if Peggy Carter got the Super Soldier Serum instead of Steve Rogers? Marvel's new show on Disney+ dropped its first episode a couple weeks ago and that's what we're talking about on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. Can we get Bill and Linda to watch a "cartoon"? Only time and our nagging will tell! If that's not enough for you, we've got some Nerd News for you too!

Heya, Mistah J! Whoa...that felt weird. But, if this week's movie proves anything it's that weird is good! Join the crew of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast as we talk about James Gunn's colorful movie about C-List super heroes that you've never heard of before, filled with a killer soundtrack and humorous moments. No, not that movie. I'm talking about The Suicide Squad. Well, we're talking about The Suicide Squad, DC's newest, most violent, action flick. So, kick back, adjust your parasitic space starfish face mask, and enjoy!

Avengers, assemble! Well... one Avenger anyway. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're talking about our thoughts on Marvel's latest movie, Black Widow. Beware! There's spoilers for the movie ahead (if you haven't shelled out $30 for Disney+ or have seen it in the theater yet). We're also going to be talking about Scarlet Johansson's lawsuit against Disney for her cut of the aforementioned Disney+ profits.

This week in Nerd News! This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're talking about a variety of stories that caught our eye this week. We'll talk about the ending of Loki and the coming Marvel Multiverse. Everyone else had some thing to say on the scandal at Activision Blizzard, so we wanted to get our two cents in as well. We're covering a wide variety of topics this week. So tune in and see what's come (or already here) on the nerdy side of the news!

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 before but need a new RPG to eat up one hundred and twenty (minimum) hours or your life, tune in and find out what you might have been missing.

The future ain't what it used to be especially not in The Tomorrow War currently on Amazon Prime. This week on Galactic Driftwoood we talk about the new Science Fiction thriller that casts Chris Pratt as a high school teacher / potential savior of the human race in a war that starts 30 years in the future. Does the time travel make sense? Are the aliens scary? Is Chris Pratt dashing and handsome while being an action movie protagonist? We'll discuss all these things and more on this weeks Galactic Driftwood Podcast.

There can be only one! Or at least there should have only been one. Welcome to this week's special After Dark edition of the Galactic Driftwood podcast. This week we're taking another dive into the world of bad science fiction with a watching of Highlander 2: The Quickening. Some will remember the 1980's cult classic, Highlander, or perhaps the 90's follow up show of the same name. This is that...but not in any way that could have mattered to the writers of the first movie. Now there's aliens, (with guns AND swords), interplanetary travel and time travel, global conspiracies, evil CEOs and at least one kitchen sink... probably. Because we're never content to suffer alone we dragged special guest hosts Mark and Zack along for the ride! Come and join us for another excellent (your results may vary) episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast!

Welcome! Welcome, my pretties ... to Galactic Driftwood AFTER DARK! What better way to upset the natural order of things than to add alcohol and shake? What natural order? Galactic Driftwood is going to be switching to a weekly schedule, with more focused talk in a shorter episode. And speaking of upsetting the natural order, this week we're talking about Disney+'s new series Loki! Beware kind listener, for in this episode thar be spoilers. We're going to be covering episodes 1-4, so if you aren't caught up, and don't want to be spoiled, consider yourself fairly warned.

Danger Will Robinson! Danger! The Galactic Driftwood crew took another trip up to Lyons Nebraska to visit Bill Hedges and his wonderful world of science fiction! This time, they didn't go alone! Traveling with were the fantastic Katie Otten (@KatieOtten13), Josh Caito(@j_caito)! The crew had a fine time cosplaying and touring the many wonders that Bill has made out in rural Nebraska. This week, we'll be talking about that trip, and talking with Bill Hedges and Josh Caito who joined us on the recording! Join us as we talk about the first convention like experience that we've had in nearly a year and a half that we dubbed Cosmic Con!

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. After we try and sell you on a movie with Jeff Goldblum, Damon Wayans, Jim Carrey and Geena Davis we'll dive into news that affects the Omaha Con scene, Jupiter's Legacy and what effect it's canceling might have on other big shows coming to streaming and other topics that cross our nerdy little minds. Join us for another great episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast!

We've got a Steampunk Revolution. We're tired of all your so called 'evolution'. It's time for another episode of the Galactic Driftwood podcast! This week we're taking a trip back to the past that never was, talking about a couple new series that came out recently: The Nevers on HBO Max and Shadow and Bone which recently debuted on Netflix. Plus there's the sad news that The Irregulars (also on Netflix) didn't get renewed, so we're going to talk about that too. Don't worry, we have plenty of other things to discuss too. So, put a couple rusty gears in your top hat and hop onto the poorly constructed airship that is this weeks episode!

Try not to think about it too hard. This week we're playing a little bit of catch-up on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast and discussing Tenet by Christopher Nolan. And by "discussing" we mean Bill and Jenna attempt to break Seth's mind with time manipulation physics. We'll also talk about some other shows, including Invincible. Seth attempts to explain how to juggle streaming services to Bill again.

Test your might! Kano. Lui Kang. Johnny Kage. Sonya. Sub-zero. Dun dun dun dun dundun dun dun dun... You know the song. I apologize for nothing. We've got a broad range of topics to cover on this weeks episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. Of chief interest this week are new shows and movies out on the various streaming platforms. We spend some time talking about HBO's new show, The Nevers (Not the Neevers, Bill) and its interesting first couple episodes. Also new on HBO Max is the new Mortal Kombat movie, which gets us talking video game movies in general. Seth really wants to talk about Resident Alien (streaming on Paramount+) so the cast humors him. And finally we'll conclude with some alien conspiracy talk around the government releasing some strange footage that might, or might not be aliens. I'd highly suggest joining us for another excellent episode before the Greys take one of us away for "probing."
