Galactic Driftwood

We've got worm sign! From

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!

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'.)
