E130: Fresh
"You saved the breast for last!" The crew of the U.S.S. Galactic Driftwood is entering your local orbit again and this time we're sampling some of your finest human mea... I mean your finest horror movies. Oh, who are we fooling. This week we're setting our replicators to "long pork" and reviewing Fresh, a horror movie currently streaming on Hulu. If you haven't guessed from my many hints, this movie involves eating people, so you've been warned. And if you don't want to spoil your food (or your movie) you might want to head over and check it out. Either way, you should tune into the show this week and leave us a comment about who... I mean what your favorite food is.

"... to explore Strange New Worlds, new life, and new civilizations..."

It's no secret we've got some fans of the original series on the ship so this return to "classic" Star Trek has been something that a bunch of people have been excited for. If you're not into Star Trek, don't worry, we've got some other nerdy content to cover, including Thor: Love and Thunder!

E128 - New Show Buffet
“Fear is the path to the dark side … fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda. Lately, the crew of the Galactic Driftwood has been a little overworked. Your planet is producing too much nerdy entertainment for every member of the crew to review. This week, on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast, we'll be selling each other on the different shows that we're watching and will probably do a full episode on when more member can get caught up. We'll be talking about our first impressions of the new season of Stranger Things, Kenobi, and more! Tune in for another fun episode!

E124 - Picard Season 2
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. Greetings from the bridge of the U.S.S. Galactic Driftwood. Most of the crew was out on away missions this week so we're a bit short staffed.

We were also going to talk about the first episode of Strange New Worlds, but there was just so much to talk about with the end of this season. Be warned! Resistance is futile.

E122 - The Stream Wars
This week on Galactic Driftwood we ask the question, "How much can you actually eat?" when every restaurant is an all-you-can-eat buffet? Well, we don't actually ask that exact question but dance around it. We've talked before about how the proliferation of streaming services impacts us, but now the grand-daddy of streaming, Netflix is having some troubles so it bears talking about again. Join us for a discussion on what we're watching, what services we have and what we might toss away. Warning, Seth's audio levels are a little high at the start of the episode. If you listen with headphones, be aware.
