Galactic Driftwood

If there is a corporate friendly term for sacrifice pit, we are in it. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast it's time for the fight of the century! Not Batman vs Superman. That's small fries. It was also pretty boring (Snyder zing!). No! This week we're talking about a battle of actual titans. Godzilla versus King Kong! Join us as we talk about this very important movie. A true milestone. Art. Also, we really liked it when the monkey punched the lizard. We're also going to talk about Netflix's The Irregulars among other things.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...too washed out to really see what it is! This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're talking about The Snyder Cut. If you thought Batman and Superman had some differing views on the treatment of criminals, you ain't seen nothing yet! Who liked it? Who didn't? Who thinks that it should be fired into the sun in the hopes that will add just a little color to the dreary aesthetic? You'll have to listen to find out! 

Grab a slice of pie, a scoop of ice cream, and get your calculator ready, because it's time for another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast, recorded on (though not coming out on) Pi Day (3/14). This week we'll be talking all the nerd news worth discussing, including advances in a possible warp drive, Star Trek: Brave New Worlds, cons returning, and the series finale of WandaVision! Pull up a slice of peach pie, and join the fun!

It was Agatha All Along! Sorry, I haven’t been able to get that out of my head for a couple weeks now! Welcome to a special After Dark episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we’re going to be talking about WandaVision going into the finale of the series. We’re full of theories and thoughts (and booze) and only time (and the next episode) will prove us right or wrong. Theorizing on WandaVision leads us to more theorizing and talking about the rest of the MCU and our usual digressions onto other subjects.

To paraphrase: This is not the way. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're going to be talking about the news around Gina Carano and her recent ousting from Star Wars, as well as recent developments around Joss Whedon. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom and politics. We've got plenty other stuff to talk about, from The Expanse to WandaVision!

We've got 99 problems and a lich is two of them! It's time for another episode of Galactic Driftwood! This week that party discusses the recent events surrounding the Gamestop stock saga. If you don't know exactly what was going on, we do our best to explain it. Also on the plate this week is the new Dungeons and Dragons supplement Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and the new options that its been giving us in the game we're playing. Join us, for all that and much, much more!

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. Welcome to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week we're talking about some of the various ... uhhh ... dangers of being lax with your digital security. We're also talking about Wonder Woman 1984 currently (but not for much longer) streaming on HBO Max and more Star Trek Discovery. Enjoy!

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. So, consider yourself warned, if you haven't seen the season finale of The Mandolorian Season 2, this episode will spoil a bunch. And really, if you haven't seen it or had it spoiled by now I have to question whether you exist in our space time or not. We're also going to be talking killer robots (or possibly just creepy ones) along with our random assortment of random tangents. So, sit back, strap in, and listen along!

Warning: Spoilers Ahead for Star Trek: Discovery. Who is Carl and what is he capable of?  Join us for a lively discussion on the current season of Star Trek: Discovery… and Carl.  From the Mirror Universe to Doctor Who and comparisons on way in which time travel is handled, to sentient talking polar bears and the Dæmons of His Dark Materials, the possible end of movie theaters and the need to support your local gaming stores during the pandemic, we cover a lot of ground (and time & space) this episode.  Also is Die Hard a Christmas movie?  The verdict is in, see how we voted and let us know what you think in the comments section.

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+. Or... at least that was the plan. We do talk about that but it leads pretty directly into talking about the Mandolorian for a decent chunk of time. If you want to find out where we digress from there you'll have to stay tuned!

We've got worm sign! From beneath the ground and beyond the stars the Galactic Driftwood Podcast brings you another collection of news from the world of science fiction and fantasy. This week we're talking about a variety of stories including an AI technology that recolors old movies (including the "classic" Teens from Outer Space), the Arecibio Observatory radio telescope, and a fight over whether or not reading the book counts as a spoiler (it doesn't -Seth.)

Bond, James Bond. Sadly, Sean Connery passed last week. Despite his personal views, he played a part in many different properties that are important to us as nerds. And as you can expect from the cast of Galactic Driftwood, we'll talk about Highlander and James Bond then wander off topic and back again. We've also got quite a bit of nerd news to talk about this week. Grab your Walther PPK, get in your Astin Martin and buckle up for another episode of Galactic Driftwood!

Ba-na-na-na-na-na na-na! Batman! Before Batfleck Batflexed, Before Bale growled his way into pop-culture, before we saw Clooney's batnipples, even before Michael Keaton brought Batman back, there was another Batman. A groovier Batman. This week, get your Bat-drinks, sit down in your Bat-chair, and join the Galactic Driftwood crew as we give Adam West's Batman: The Movie a watch. Maybe even watch it along with us and enjoy the weirdness.

Who ya gonna call? NOT JENNA! Hey spooky nerds, this week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we've got special guest Stu Burns back to talk about breaking the Rules of Horror! But that's only the tip of the iceberg for this weeks episode! We're also going to be talking about fun Halloween attractions in the Omaha area, spooky shows for your viewing entertainment, and John brought some EVPs from his paranormal investigations for us to listen to! Give us a listen... IF YOU DARE!

Insert nerdy pun and or saying here. Sorry. It's been a long, hard seven months or so for those of us on the Galactic Driftwood podcast. As a cast, we like going places, seeing things and, ya know, people. This week, we're taking a little time to talk about the places where we want to / will go once we're able to go out and do things again. Join us as we take a look at some of the nerd-friendly and nerd-themed places around the country and even the world! Ending nerdy pun!

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! *cough* *cough* I mean, welcome back for another episode of Galactic Driftwood. This week we're talking about HBO Max's new show, Lovecraft Country. Special Guest Katie joins us to talk about H.P. Lovecraft and the problematic nature of his writing. Warning: Lovecraft Country deals with some pretty awful racism and some of our conversation is going to revolve around that.

Everybody listen! We don't have long. The black helicopters are circling and we may not get a chance to say this again. Bill has finally crossed the wrong people and we've got a lot of information to disseminate before they shut us down. This week we'll be talking about conspiracy theories, from grays to lizard men, from Q to the Philadelphia Experiment. We've got plenty to talk about and debunk, so tune in!Here are links to items referenced in the podcast: Chadwick Boseman dies at 43: https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/28/entertainment/chadwick-boseman-dies/index.html The Conspiracy Theory Detector: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-conspiracy-theory-director/ The Dunning-Kruger Effect Shows Why Some People Think They’re Great Even When Their Work Is Terrible: https://www.forbes.com/sites/markmurphy/2017/01/24/the-dunning-kruger-effect-shows-why-some-people-think-theyre-great-even-when-their-work-is-terrible/#3a49ba475d7c The deep, twisted roots of QAnon - From 1940s sci-fi to 19th-century

These are the voyages of the U.S.S. Cerritos. Their goal: Tell dick jokes and survive deadly situations with humor and horrible violence. This week on the Galactic Driftwood podcast we're going to be talking about our initial impressions of Star Trek: Lower Decks, coming out now on CBS All Access. With only two episodes out at the time of the recording, we still have plenty to talk about. We also give some time to Doom Patrol, currently airing on HBO Max. Join us for another geeky discussion on what's new in the nerd-world.

Here we are! Born to be kings! We're the Galactic Driftwood Podcast back for another discussion on what we've been watching. This week, we're talking about The Old Guard and Warrior Nun, two new popular shows on Netflix. Don't worry. We've got plenty more to talk about and we will digress. At length.

Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnd these movies are not available anymore. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we review a couple movies that Bill discovered were going off Netflix: Under the Skin with Scarlet Johansson and Tusk, a Kevin Smith movie. This continues the long and storied tradition of Bill bringing us...questionable movie choices. We also talk about Akira, an anime classic (what Bill calls a 'cartoon'.)
