"...to boldly go where no man has gone before!" Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast!

| E206 - Virtual Table Tops | 30 Apr 2024 | 01:03:06 | |
Roll initiative! Welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week, we're talking about role playing games! But wait! I'm too far away from my gaming group to play! I don't have time to make it down to the gaming store to find a group :( Fear not! Today we're talking about Virtual Table Tops, or programs that take your gaming table digital, so that you can play on the internet in an experience that, ideally, replicates being around the table with your friends. We'll explore several of the available options today, including Fantasy Grounds, D&D Beyond and Alchemy! If you play on any that we haven't talked about, or have pros and cons that we didn't mention in the episodes, get in the comments! | |||

Catchphrase! The crew of the Galactic Driftwood has intercepted another transmission from your planet!

| E109 - Don't Look Up! | 26 Jan 2022 | 00:40:39 | |
Seriously though, look up! The crew of the good starship the U.S.S. Galactic Driftwood are a good looking and light-hearted group. As such, we like to watch the occasional feel-good movie of the year and just relax. Something funny and enjoyable without all those annoying "politics" or "pitch dark satire of the current world." Won't you join us as we discuss last year's "feel good movie", Don't Look Up, now streaming on Netflix? I'm sure everything will be fine! | |||
| E108 - Llamageddon | 19 Jan 2022 | 00:45:32 | |
"No llamas were hurt during the production of this film. Just the dignities of all involved." We here at the Galactic Driftwood Podcast are fans of quality cinema. But, every now and again, we as sci-fi fans have to remember that it's not all "good special effects", "quality writing" and "understandable plot" that make science fiction and genre film. Sometimes, it's just that guy, who knows a guy with a llama. Sometimes, it's not about the quality of the special effects, but the about maximum amount of strawberry Jello you have on hand for fake blood. Sometimes, your budget isn't set by Disney, but whatever you and your buddies can dig out of the couch cushions. Sometimes, you get Iron Man...and then sometimes you get Llamaggeddon! So, tune in for our in depth review of this, soon to be, classic science fiction alpaca-lypse! | |||
| E107 - The Witcher Season 2 | 12 Jan 2022 | 00:52:06 | |

We're also going to talk about the 20th Anniversary Harry Potter special that's airing on HBO Max. Listen in for another great episode! | |||

No one can tell you what the Matrix is. Happy New Year and welcome back to the Galactic Driftwood Podcast for our first episode of 2022! We’re kicking things off with our discussion on The Matrix: Resurrections. We’re going back into the Matrix, probably not for the first time in twenty years for many of us, but certainly our first new trip into that world. This is your first, but not final, warning that there are going to be major SPOILERS for the movie. Remember, once you’ve taken the red pill there is no going back, so be sure you’re ready. | |||
| E205 - Watch This! | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:44:07 | |
...Some a little sooner than others. Welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week we're going back in time a little bit, with a pre-recorded episode that should have probably come out before Dune Part 2 came out in theaters, but maybe we got a little too excited when the movie actually came out. Today we're checking out trailers for other movies that have caught our eye, including Dune Part 2 and A Quiet Place: Day 1. What movies are you most looking forward to in the near future? Let us know in the comments! | |||
| E105 - Finch | 29 Dec 2021 | 00:44:51 | |
"It's time to upgrade my optics to iEyes 3.0." What's going to happen when the sun finally gets tired of our BS and sends a nice little flare to half-bake the planet? It's a pretty fun and happy question for the last show of 2021. Thankfully, we'll be answering the question by watching Finch, currently streaming on AppleTV+, and Automata (available for rent through multiple sources). Whatever happens, it seems like robots are going to be pretty big in the end times so we are there for it! Come and join us for another week of nerd talk and end of the world speculation! | |||
| E104 - Krampii | 22 Dec 2021 | 00:47:07 | |
"Silent Night, Blasphemous Night. Great Ones reign, Death's in sight!" Welcome to another Christmas episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. We're once again joined by show favorite Stu Burns to talk about the darker aspects of the holiday season! This time we're going to talk about Elves, a horror series now streaming on Netflix, and talking about the folklore that inspired it. We'll also talk about Santa's dark brother, Krampus and his role in holiday lore. Just remember, that when someone wishes you a Merry Christmas, they might not be talking about a visit from Saint Nick! Merry Christmas, everyone! Bwahahahaha! | |||
| E103 - The Wheel of Time | 17 Dec 2021 | 00:53:06 | |
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend” – Robert Jordan. Welcome back for a new episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we’re talking about The Wheel of Time, the show, not the books, now airing on Amazon Prime.

| E102 - The Robots are Coming | 08 Dec 2021 | 00:57:42 | |
1) A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Science fiction is full to bursting of what will happen at the advent of the Singularity, or the robot uprising...but what's it going to look like in real life? This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're looking at some of the latest technology news, including robots with realistic human expressions and motion, and self-reproducing xenobots. What's the world going to look like when the robots are taking peoples' jobs? Plus we'll talk about Elon Musk's most recent stumbling in communicating with humans. All this and more, in this week's Galactic Driftwood Podcast! | |||
| E101 - Bigfoot is a Brony | 01 Dec 2021 | 00:46:11 | |
Truth is stranger than fiction...and our fiction is pretty strange! Welcome back to the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we are, once again, joined by our good friend Stu Burns! He's here this week to talk about Bigfoot, Nebraska Tourism, and the odd intersection of those two subjects. But first, Bill and Linda will regale us with tales of how they survived the Martian menace at this year's Teslacon! Tune in for another awesome episode! | |||
| E100 - Oops! All 3d Printing! | 24 Nov 2021 | 00:58:54 | |
Welcome to the 100th episode of the Galactic Driftwood podcast! We wanted to do kind of a retrospective on the previous 99 episodes with guests that we've had on over the course of our run. And this was our mistake! This week we're joined by Stu Burns (who will be back for the next episode) and Benito Garcia. Our plans went out the window when Seth and Benito got talking about 3d Printing (drove on by questions from the cast) and what resulted is a great primer if you're interested in 3d printing. Or if you just like hearing a couple nerds go on about their new hobby for a while. Either way, we hope you enjoy our 100th episode! We're looking forward to making another 100 episodes for you our wonderful listeners! | |||
| E99 - Eternals | 17 Nov 2021 | 00:54:50 | |
Gilgamesh was best. Don't @ me. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're going back to the movies! While we've talked about some movies on the podcast over the pandemic, Marvel's Eternals is one of the first movies we've gone back to theaters for. We've all got thoughts on Marvel's newest addition to the MCU and we're eager to share them with you, with the forewarning that ahead there be SPOILERS! Consider yourself warned. Leave a comment or a like and let us know what you think about the movie in the comments! | |||
| E98 - Meta! | 12 Nov 2021 | 02:06:49 | |
Join us this week as we dive into the metaverse! Facebook is now Meta and working to create the next generation of the Internet combined with Virtual Reality. What will it mean for you? Will the metaverse just be a means for Facebook to gobble up more of your metadata? Listen in and find out what we like and don’t like, the dangers, pitfalls, and irritations we may encounter there. | |||
| E97 - Foundation | 03 Nov 2021 | 00:44:49 | |
"To succeed, planning alone is insufficient. One must improvise as well." - Isaac Asimov, Foundation This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're talking about AppleTV's new show Foundation, based on Isaac Asimov's science fiction classic. Bill, in particular, has been looking forward to this show and has been reading the books to prepare. Join us as we discuss this epic of science fiction. Warning, here there be spoilers for both the show and the books! | |||
| E96 - Dune 2021 | 27 Oct 2021 | 00:44:37 | |
The Spice Must Flow! Journey, once again, to Arrakis, the
Desert Planet, home to the Fremen and the giant sandworms, with the cast
of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. Granted, the story of Frank
Herbert's classic science fiction shouldn't need one, but spoiler
warning none-the-less. We're going to be talking about what happens in
the movie, characters and story points, so consider yourself forewarned.
Everyone all aboard the sandworm and get ready to join your water to
ours (not that way you sickos) because we're ready to hop on a Guild
transport and huff some spice! | |||

Welcome back to another Episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week, we're deviating from the norm a bit, and not talking about a new show or movie.

Joining us this week is special guest, Ben! What are your thoughts on aliens and their contact with us? Let us know in the comments! | |||

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. | |||
| E94 - TeslaCon! | 13 Oct 2021 | 01:25:04 | |
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 into what he is planning for the next 5 TeslaCons… it’s out of this world!

| E93 - Mario Bava | 06 Oct 2021 | 00:45:09 | |
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/ | |||

| E91 - The Empty Man | 22 Sep 2021 | 01:07:10 | |
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. | |||
| E90 - Multiverse of Streaming | 15 Sep 2021 | 00:44:10 | |

| E89 - Brand New Cherry Flavor | 08 Sep 2021 | 00:43:10 | |
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. | |||
| E88 - What If? | 01 Sep 2021 | 00:43:52 | |
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! | |||
| E87 - Suicide Squad | 25 Aug 2021 | 00:38:06 | |
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! | |||
| E86 - Black Widow | 19 Aug 2021 | 00:41:07 | |
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. | |||
| E203 - Dune: Part 2 Review | 22 Mar 2024 | 00:57:41 | |
Long live the fighters of Muad'dib! Despite the rising cost of interstellar travel due to the Spacing Guild raising their rates (inflation is hitting everyone really hard), the good crew of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast is here for another excellent episode. This week we're coming back for another trip to Arrakis, Desert Planet, Dune! Specifically, we're talking about what we thought about part 2 of Villeneuve's Dune. You'd think we wouldn't need it for a story that's been in the world for over half a century, but beware, for here there be spoilers! What did you think of the second part of Dune? Let us know in the comments. | |||
| E85 - Nerd News! | 11 Aug 2021 | 00:38:55 | |
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! | |||
| E84 - Persona 5 | 04 Aug 2021 | 00:34:29 | |
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. | |||
| E83 - The Tomorrow War | 28 Jul 2021 | 00:41:49 | |
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. | |||
| E82 - There should have been only one | 20 Jul 2021 | 00:36:41 | |
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! | |||
| E81: Loki | 14 Jul 2021 | 00:31:03 | |
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. | |||
| E80 - Cosmic Con | 01 Jul 2021 | 01:30:41 | |
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! | |||
| E79 - Earth Girls are Easy | 16 Jun 2021 | 01:10:00 | |
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! | |||
| E78 - The Nevers | 02 Jun 2021 | 01:25:37 | |
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! | |||
| E77 - Tenet | 19 May 2021 | 01:09:10 | |
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. | |||
| E76 - Mortal Kombat | 05 May 2021 | 01:26:08 | |
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.

| E75 - Godzilla vs Kong | 25 Apr 2021 | 01:13:03 | |
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! | |||
