Welcome to a somewhat belated episode of the SFP-NOW reviews show. After what has been a little break. Marx, Jeff and Ian return to talk about a host of shows as well an epic chat that goes over the final four episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in which Ian and Marx hold a slightly different view point to Jeff.

We kick things off by catching up on what everyone has been up to before diving into the reviews. First up Jeff talks about Twisted Metal, which he claims is one of the funniest science fiction shows to come out in awhile. Marx having not seen the whole series largely agrees with this assessment.

We move things quickly along as Ian tries his best to give as spoiler free review of Babylon 5: The Road Home as possible, but adds that the film has inspired him to re-watch the original series through again.

Before getting onto Star Trek. Ian briefly talks about Apple TV's adaptation of Foundation and says while it is not for everyone. It does do a pretty good job of adapting something that is difficult to do given the epic told in the books.

To finish off the show. The guys engage in a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds chat that takes up at least 45 minutes. During this chat there is a spirited debate about the morality of a certain episode between Ian, Marx and Jeff who do not share the same perspective.

So if you'd like to hear the discussion and comment. Hit play and tune in for this episode as it will be the last one we put out until around 20 September.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the SFP-NOW TV Reviews Podcast. For this weeks episode Ian and Marx are joined by Writer John Kenneth Muir who talks with us about his new podcast The House Between as well as his favorite subject of horror movies.

Over the course of 90-plus minutes, we talk about a great many things, which include the Musical Star Trek episode, which we were all really impressed with.

As fans know. John Kenneth Muir has written several award-winning books about the Horror Film Genre. So over the course of this episode, we talk about various horror tropes ranging from Slasher Films, Remakes, and movies that have been produced by A22.

So why not sit back, tune in and join the conversation by leaving a comment or two with your thoughts on Horror movies.

Welcome to another episode of the SFP-NOW reviews show. This episode sees us talk about a number of TV shows and movies.

We kick off the show with our review of Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny and then move on to the new season of Almost Paradise, which dropped last weekend on Amazon's Freevee channel. The show, which stars Christian Kane as retired DEA Agent Alex Walker is a rare blend of action and comedy and is somewhat of a throwback to TV shows that populated the networks throughout the 1980s and 90s. Jeff thinks this show is Christian Kane's best work to date. Whereas Ian loves the blend of action and comedy.

Next up Marx talks about Silo now that he has viewed most of the show and expresses some concern as to were the show might go in its second season now that one of the key mysteries has been revealed.

Welcome to another fun-filled episode of the SPP-NOW Reviews show on ScifiPulse Radio.

In this week's show. Before getting to the reviews. Ian shares his thoughts on his initial impressions of the PlayStation VR2 Headset, which he recently purchased for use during his downtime. And told Marx about some of the games that he's been looking at, which also happen to be based on popular RPG Tabletop games.

Welcome to another episode of our Television and Movie reviews show. This time Ian and Marx take a look at a few of the new shows that have been hitting Apple TV and Sky SciFi Channel.

After Ian spends the first five minutes of the show dissing his teammates on Rocket League. We straight onto TV and share in our views about CW making a spin-off show to The Librarians, which is a favorite show around these parts.

This week we hit the ground running and discuss the pilot episode of Silo, which was called 'Freedom Day'. We both agree that it's a series that has some potential and plan to watch more of it for future discussion. The question is. Are we safe to go outside? While chatting about other Apple TV shows. Marx and I agree that Invasion was boring.

Moving on from Apple shows. Ian waxes lyrical about the latest season of Star Wars: Visions and how he was particularly taken with the episode titled Sith, which seemed to take place inside a living painting. He chats about some of the episodes and adds that all nine stories are really cool.

From the fun and animation of Star Wars. We move on to the more serious Sky SciFi series The Swarm, which sees the world Sealife turning against the human population due to a change in the delicate interconnectedness between mankind and Earth. The show is truly international having segments of it set in Canada, France, and Norway to name just a few of the countries that are represented in the storyline. The first episode features a stunning sequence of Ora Whales attacking Canadian Tourists.

Having barely survived an Ora Whale attack. Ian and Marx move the conversation on to Citadel. In short, our concern is that the show could be spending a little too much time in the past as the narrative seems to have slowed down a little. Luckily the series finale, which we will discuss in the next episode does address some of our issues with the show.

Tune in for more as we discuss more TV stuff and also have an interesting side chat about A.I and how it might impact the industry.

Happy Friday and welcome to another episode of SFP- NOW's ongoing reviews show.

In this episode, Ian & Marx give their initial thoughts on the new CW series Gotham, which is a show set in a universe where Batman has been killed. Our initial thoughts are that the show is kind of meh and has room for improvement. So tune in to hear exactly what we have to say.

Moving on. We also give our first thoughts on School Spirits and focus on the show's pilot episode 'My So-Called Death', which introduces us to the tone and characters of the series. In this discussion, Marx compares this show to 'Dead Like Me' only with less sarcasm.

Staying on the theme of supernatural series. We also discuss Wolf Pack and zoom in on the penultimate episode titled 'Lion's Breath' which has a few big plot reveals when it comes to Ramsay and her true nature. We also discuss how gorgeous the show's cinematography is when it comes to one shot in particular.

Moving into the realm of science fiction and fantasy. We discuss the new season of The Mandalorian and recap events from 'The Mines of Mandalore' and 'The Convert'. We also briefly discuss a few shows from Star Wars past as well as touch on the infamous Holiday Special via a discussion about a new documentary film about that. So set your lightsabers to maim as many Ewoks were sacrificed to make this episode.

We close out this month's show with a recap of Star Trek: Picard's fifth episode 'Imposters', which not only saw the return of Ro Laren from TNG. But also used her character as a means to link the A and B plots together as more is revealed about The Changeling Plot to undermine Starfleet and The Federation. We also speculate somewhat as to where this could go and discuss how Paramount Plus could use this season of Picard as a Springboard for other series that could reintroduce characters from TNG, DS9 & Voyager as well as continue the adventures of some of the new characters such as Captain Shaw and Ensign Sydney LaForge.

So please tune in for another packed reviews episode and feel free to comment about any of the shows we cover or even suggest shows and movies you'd like us to discuss.

Happy Friday all and welcome to another reviews episode as Ian and Marx boldly trek through another batch of genre television episodes and discuss them. 

On the menu for this episode is Star Trek: Picard Season Three episode 3 'Seventeen Seconds' in which Marx and Ian agree that the series has definitely increased the Trek Factor to Warp 9.95.

Welcome to another creepy episode of SFP-NOW. Being served up for this episode is the second part of our interview shows for the new Anthology Book Tales of Monstrosity: Monsters, Myths, and Miscreants. 

Joining us Marx Pyle and me for this installment will be the following writers:

Marisa Wolf, Colten Fisher, Victoria L. Scott, and Sophia DeSensi.

All four of these writers have stories featured in the new Anthology, which has managed to raise its target on Kickstarter with change to spare for some to cover next year's Halloween Decor. 

Victoria L. Scott has the ultimate can-do attitude and is a Jedi when it comes to Latin. Victoria shares in our love of the Harry Dresden novels while teasing her story, which is about a headless horseman who is a descendant of the original Headless Horseman. 

Welcome to another great episode of SFP-NOW. For this episode, we catch up with award-winning filmmaker and writer John Walsh, who has been keeping himself very busy. We last spoke with John back in August of 2021 when he talked with us about his Ray Harryhausen and Flash Gordon books, which have both done incredibly well for him. This time out we chat about his latest book 'Escape From New York: The Official Story of The Film', which has been selling so well that Titan can't print them fast enough.

Over the course of our conversation, John explains how the book came about and teases a few details about the book. Additionally, we even discuss our favorite elements from the film while discussing the casting, special effects, and everything else, which are all discussed in full in the book.

Also, we discuss our mutual appreciation for the late Donald Pleasence who to many horror fans is best known for his role of Dr. Loomis. However, we talk about his role as the corrupt President and how he was initially reluctant to play the part.

Added to this. We also discuss a few of John's films. Specially Toryboy, which has a few interesting parallels to the corruption that is depicted in Escape From New York.

And to end with. We chat about some of the movies and TV Shows that John would love to work on if given the opportunity. To listen to all of what was discussed hit play on the audio player and enjoy as John and I totally geek out about what is regarded as John Carpenters best movie.

You can learn more about John Walsh and his film and writing work at the following social media links.

2021 was a great year for television and movies and gave us much to discuss. So much so that SFP-NOW and Genretainment once again decided to cross the streams and discuss some of our favorite TV and Movies of 2021.

For this episode, we literally chase after Dragons and learn about the brand new anthology book 'Dragons of a Different Tail', which was released earlier this week on most digital platforms and will soon be released as a physical book.

Joining me to discuss this brand new book are its creators and writers Marx Pyle, Julie Seaton Pyle, J.C. Mastro, Katharine Dow, Jeff Burns, and Sean Gibson.

Over the course of an hour, we discuss all things Dragons and unpack some of the inspirations behind the stories contained within the book. For example, Katherine Dow reveals that her Dragon story was inspired by the sport of Pigeon Racing, which is pretty big in the part of New York that she moved to. Whereas Sean Gibson talks about how his love of Victorian Literature informed his story.

Added to that. The episode also includes a fair bit of Gallows Humor as the new Covid variant known as the Omicron Dragon was let loose during the recording of the show.

If you are interested in checking out this new book you can get a hold of it at the following two links on Amazon.

"The names Bond... James Bond."

Lines first uttered in 1962 in a small movie called "Dr No". Actor Sean Connery kicked off a movie franchise that would practically invent the action genre. So much so that it would take movie producers until the 1980s to figure out a formula that would force the producers behind Bond to re-invent the character for the modern age.

Over nearly a 60 year period. The character of James Bond has been known for its action set pieces, boyish humor, fast cars, beautiful women, and brash attitude.

Over the course of this special feature-length episode. Movie fans Ian Cullen and his good friend Ben Cassidy discuss the highs and lows of the Bond movies and even go into gaming territory with a discussion about how the game Goldeneye made the British Super Spy a success with gamers as well as with movie fans.

So settle down. Have yourself a Vodka Martini and enjoy the ride as we go through every single Bond movie.

After a month away. We're back and we get the ball rolling with an epic interview with Science Fiction novelist Ada Hoffman.

During this chat. The writer gives us the lowdown on how she got into writing and her personal journey to becoming a published Science Fiction writer. Her debut novel 'The Outside' wowed readers when it was released back in 2018 and it looks very much like that book's sequel The Fallen is going to do very much the same.

Ada talks us through some of the characters and storylines of the book to give those that haven't checked the books out yet a small taste of what they can expect. She also talks about how her decision to make her main character an Autistic scientist surprised her in a few ways and chats a little bit about her creative process as a writer saying that she usually has the beginning, middle, and end of her books figured out in advance of writing the story.

Being that a few of us here at SciFiPulse Radio is on the Autism Spectrum we also asked Ada her thoughts on representation in the publishing industry as well as representation in film and television. And Ada also talked about some of the ways in which she tries to encourage writers with autism by reviewing their stories on her website.

So to hear all of what was said. Tune in for this epic new episode of SciFiPulse Radio.

For this episode, we do something a little different and host a discussion with up-and-coming UK-based writer Dave Hartley.

Based in Manchester, England. Dave Hartley is a writer of science fiction and fantasy stories and fairly recently published his latest story called 'Pigskin', which is somewhat of a modern take on George Orwell's 'Animal Farm'.

Welcome to a very special edition of SFP-NOW on SciFi-Pulse Radio.

In this episode, we are joined by special guest John Walsh who is a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy. An acclaimed filmmaker and writer as well as a Trustee of the Ray Harryhausen Foundation, which preserves and displays the work of the legendary special effects artist and filmmaker.

In the episode. John takes us through his early career and how he found friendship with the late filmmaker who created memorable monsters such as Medusa and the Kraken from the original 'Clash of The Titans' and many more. He also talks in-depth about many of the things that can be found in his book 'Harryhausen: The Lost Movies', which I highly recommend to fans of genre film and television. As it gives insight into the many things that Ray Harryhausen would have liked to do. But never got to due to budgetary reasons.

John also discusses the incredible journey that he went on. When putting together his Flash Gordon book 'Flash Gordon: The Official Story of the Film'. Which is an incredible story to listen to and well worth the time in the telling. In short. When John wrote the book and it came time to look for images from the film. He learned at the last minute that the studio didn't save anything. So he had to source images and production stills from the fan community and some of the people that worked behind the scenes on the film.

Added to all of this great stuff. John also previews his new book, which is due out in September, which is called 'Escape From New York: The Official Story of the Film'.

So if you enjoy retro movies and appreciate classic genre entertainment. Tune into this episode because we cover a hell of a lot of stuff.

We're back and this month Ian and Ben have a proper chat about the Marvel shows as well as DC and Pennyworth. We start the show by discussing our excitement about 'Falcon and Winter Soldier and how it explores the post 'Avengers Endgame' world by introducing a new villain who put us in mind of a psycho orphan Annie. But is she really all that bad?

We also discuss the release of a new Graphic Novel called Adler. Which is the League of Extraordinary Women and kind of explores what happens in turn of the century England when someone from one of the English Colonies begins to fight back for her people.

And finally for fun. We discuss the new Disney + Mighty Ducks series and try to figure out a way to justify talking about it on a podcast, which is supposed to be about sci-fi and comics.

So please tune in. Chill out and laugh along with us as we shoot from the hip.

Also you can now follow us on Spotify. Look for SciFiPulseRadio

Welcome to another exciting episode of SFP-NOW here on SciFiPulseRadio.

For this episode and our first interview of 2021. We welcome James Hereth and Kev Hopgood to the show and party down as we discuss our favorite comic book heroes. The WandaVision Finale and many other things as we build toward chatting about their new book 'Blowback'.

For those who have been living on another planet. 'Blowback' is a new science fiction and fantasy story about a team of US Marines that find themselves transported to the past. Where they find themselves thrown into events that build-up to the American War of Independence.

Over the course of this chat. Benjamin Cassidy and Ian Cullen find out about the origins of 'Blowback' and learn about how much research and effort went into producing the book.

So why not get your ears on and tune in. As we explore the bold new world of 'Blowback' with insights from two of the creators behind it.

Welcome to this March edition of SFP-NOW. In this episode Ian, Ben and Raissa further explore the worlds of comic books as they discuss the penultimate episode of WandaVision and chat about the new Superman series, which has begun on CW.

Ian also gives a small plug for Disney + which has finally brought the series 'Helstrom' over to the UK. Which is a show that will likely get discussed in future episodes.

So while not sit back. Have yourself a beer or wine and chill as we scrape through the endless frontiers of science fiction and fantasy in this latest episode.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW. Recorded toward the end of January of 2021. This episode sees the gang discuss Star Trek: Discovery, The Mandalorian, Doctor Who and we also give our first impressions of WandaVision. We also give our thoughts on Wonder Woman 1984.

So why not check this episode out and agree or disagree with us in the comments.

With 2020 in its dying days. It is time once more for SFP-NOW and GenreTainment to come together and wade through the best and worst television and movies of the past year.

Join Ian Cullen, Marx Pyle, and Benjamin Cassidy as they boldly go where most TV and Movie types have been and discuss the high and low lights of 2020.

Among our picks are obvious choices such as The Mandalorian as well as not so obvious ones such as Pennyworth. So why not listen in and share in some fun as we look at what a Covid 19 year gave us in terms of science fiction and fantasy entertainment.

Feel free to comment or even add something to our list, which didn't get discussed.

Tis the season and we here at SciFiPulse Radio and SFP-NOW wish you a merry one.

In this special episode, which we recorded in early December. Ian, Ben, and Raissa discuss episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, The Mandalorian, and more.

Ian was very excited about the inclusion of Bo-Katan in Mandalorian and was thrilled with Katee Sackhoff's interpretation of a role that she has only done as animated. We also discussed Ahsoka Tano and speculate a little about how she may be used in future Star Wars projects.

Additionally. Given the time of year. We also discuss a few of our favorite Christmas Movies and TV shows. So ho ho ho and all of that.

Apologies for Ben's sound in this episode. We were having a few problems with his microphone and have done our best to clean it up. But unfortunately, we just were not able to fix all of it.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW on SciFiPulse Radio.

For this episode Ian and Raissa are joined by newcomer Ben Cassidy, who has been writing for scifipulse.net for a little over a year. The shows covered include the new Spanish made series The Boundary (Netflix), Star Trek: Discovery (CBS All Access), and of Course The Mandalorian (Disney +).

As we only record one show a month. The episodes that we talk about maybe a bit dated, but often much of what we do is speculate about what we hope to see. In regards to The Mandalorian. It's fair to say that we are all looking forward to seeing Ahsoka Tano make her live action debut, which is something we touch on in our discussion.

Either way. Tune in and hear what we discussed and comment if you agree or disagree. We'd love to hear your feedback.

In this latest episode of SFP-Now and our first episode since March. We speak to filmmaker, writer and director Jon Silverberg about his movie Woodland, which is part psychological horror movie and part character study.

Over the course of our Chat Jon talks about the great team he managed to put together for the movie, which included Richard Harmon who is best known for his role in 'The 100' and acclaimed actor Philip Granger who plays the role of Sparky in the film and formed a very strong friendship with his co-star while making the film.

Jon also talks a little about how his career thus far has allowed him the opportunity to get to work with the likes of Stargate SG1 and Sanctuary star Amanda Tapping, who has moved more towards producing and directing herself. We even learn that Amanda plays a small, but somewhat important role in Woodland as the radio operator who is Sparky's only contact out in the civilised world.

We also learn a little about some of the technical challenges that Jon and his team faced while making the film as well as a little promo for the great location where the film is shot.

So if you have an interest in independent cinema then tune in to hear what Jon has to share as well as some updates on what he is working on right now.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW. Where we delve into some scifi goodness and give our thoughts on some of the most current shows happening.

This episode sees Raissa and Ian give their thoughts on 'Star Trek: Picard', which finished its run late last month on CBS All Access and Amazon Prime. We discuss how Una McCormacks book 'Picard: The Last Best Hope' enhanced our enjoyment of the series by filling in many of the backstory elements that were mentioned in the series.

We also discuss History Channel's 'Project Blue Book', which ended its second season on a fantastic cliffhanger, but also introduced some intriguing new characters and themes to the show.

And we wrap things up with Ian's thoughts on the UK version of Disney +, which launched in the UK on March 23 and has been a godsend while everyone has been in lockdown due to Covid 19.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW.

For this episode Ian and Raissa give their thoughts somewhat belatedly on 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' and talk about how it could well have reinvigorated the CW DC Universe shows. We also totally Geek Out over the premier episode of 'Star Trek: Picard' and how epic it could potentially be.

We also discuss the first few episodes of Doctor Who and how we feel Jody Whittaker's Doctor is doing after having had the first season to bed in...

So why not tune in and geek out with us.

Welcome our first episode of 2020 in which we are joined by Marx and Julie Pyle from Genretainment as well as our very own Raissa to discuss the best and worst television and movies of 2019.

Inevitably Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is on someones list, but was it top of the the list?

Over the course of a little under 2 hours we discuss all the films we have seen over 2019 as well as the TV we have been watching and review each one in our own unique and special way. We get to talking about the wokeness that has invaded TV shows such as Supergirl and Doctor Who as well discuss character and plot development in terms of what we like and don't like to see in our entertainment.

So why not have a listen and comment if you agree or disagree with anything we have to say.

Happy Thanks Giving to all our American Listeners.

For this episode we discuss a number of shows, but we star with Tha Mandalorian, which as of recording was at the third episode. We talk about how we like the simplicity of the shows story telling as well as our mutual love of the baby yoda.

Also up for discussion is our views on the recent series of Black Lightning, the new series of Nancy Drew, which has been putting a really nice supernatural twist on the popular teenage detective as well as the recent Star Trek: Discovery comic book series Aftermath, which shows us how Spock deals with the change of no longer having a half sister in his life.

So if you love science fiction and any of the shows that we discuss. Feel free to tune in and tell your friends about the show.

Welcome to another exciting episode of SFP-NOW here on SciFiPulseRadio.

For this episode Ian goes into the realms of Virtual Reality Games and chats with Andreas Juliusson and James Hunt from developer Fast Travel Games. In the interview we talk about the exciting new Puzzle Game 'The Curious Tale of The Stolen Pets' as well as the many projects that the developer has been working on.

Speaking about the new game Andreas and James discuss how fans have responded to the game at the various gaming conventions that they have shown the game at. We also touch on the animation style, which put me in mind of a more slick and modern take on the work that 1970's animators Rankin/Bass who were famous for their Christmas animated films as well as The Wind in The Willows.

We also discuss the potential of the game to evolve and branch out into other genres while retaining it puzzle elements.

When it comes to other games that Fast Travel Games have in the works. We will see Budget Cuts 2, which is a collaboration between Fast Travel and Neat Games, which will be hitting VR Headsets in December.

VR fans will be able to play 'The Curious Tale of The Stolen Pets' on 14th of November and we highly recommend it as a game that all ages can enjoy.

It's Halloween and we have struck again with one of our traditional Halloween Specials.

As ever I am joined by T. Shawn Hardy and his wife Linda and the subject up for discussion this year is all things Stephen King, which includes stuff that we find out on the fly as we learn how little we actually do know about the great writer.

So why not pull up a comfy chair. Have a beer and listen in as we all laugh about how little we know and take a fond look back at some of our favourite movie and television adaptations of Stephen Kings books.

If you have a favourite that we haven't mentioned. Please feel free to let us know in the comments and really sell it to us.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW.

For this episode Ian and Raissa discuss the latest DC Comics series to come to CW in the form of Batwoman. We also discuss some interesting ideas and theories with regards to Crisis on Infinite Earths. Also briefly discussed how Supergirl seems to be spinning its wheels with very little input into the Crisis storyline, which is leaving Flash and Arrow to most of the heavy lifting.

When it comes to Batwoman we discuss how it just seems to be mostly set up for the moment, but not especially spectacular.

We also talk about how both DC and Marvel can go about giving us movies and television shows without feeling the need to make it all about the origin stories, and bring up a few examples of old shows that were able to to entertain without the need to give viewers the origin beyond brief glimpses in the opening credits much like was done on 'The Incredible Hulk' TV series.

We close out the episode with a discussion on recent BIG Finish Audio releases such as the final box set in the 8th Doctor series Ravenous as well as the new reboot for 'Space 1999'.

So tune in and feel free to join the discussion via comments.

Welcome to the latest episode of SFP-NOW.

For this episode we finally get around to discussing Amazon's Good Omens series, which kept us glued to the TV for an entire weekend and will likely be re-watched at a later date. Also up for discussion is the third season of Stranger Things, which left us hanging yet again with a ton of things to talk about.

We also talk about our theories concerning the new CBS series Blood and Treasure, which is coming toward the close of its first season. So be sure to buckle up and hear what we have to say.

Welcome to a long overdue episode of SFP-NOW.

It's been awhile since our last show and we've had all sort of real life stuff getting in the way of us putting out more content. But hopefully we will be a little more consistent now that summer is upon us.

For this episode. I am joined by SFP-NOW regular Raissa who chats with me about the recent season finales for Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and of course Game of Thrones.

We also talk about a few of the new series that have just started up. Which include Blood and Treasure and of course the return of Agents of Shield. So please check in and as awlays feel free to comment. Make suggestions and maybe ask us to discuss a TV series that you may like us to check out.

Welcome to another episode of SFP-Now.

For this episode I am joined by Joe Fiore of Megapodtastic to discuss the best and worst Marvel Universe.

This podcast is very special because it is the first time Joe and I have had chance to connect and chat movies in 7 years. We even joke a little about it being kind of like the Vulcan Pon Far at the start of the episode.

In this hour plus long pod. Joe and I count down the Marvel movies in chronological order or try to. And run through what we think are the best and worst of the movies. But we must add that as fans we generally enjoy all of the Marvel movies on some level. So although we may say one movie is the worst. It is more likely because its the one that we like the least when compared to all the others.

Anyway feel free to tune in and listen to our list. If you disagree or agree with us. Feel free to comment.

Welcome to the first episode of 2019.

After a fairly long break Raissa and I are back and this week we discuss several theories about the direction of travel in the CW's Comic Book universes.

We also discuss the future crossover event and chat briefly about the new Batwoman TV show, which we'll get to see later this year and how it may effect the future of 'Arrow', which thus far is the longest running CW comic book series.

So tune in for comic book chat and more.

Welcome to our review of 2018.

In this special New Years episode of SFP-NOW the hosts of SFP-NOW and GenreTainment come together to talk about their best and worst movie and television experiences of 2018.

No movie or television show is safe from our scrutiny and to make things interesting this year we took the gloves off and relaxed the rules about it having to be just Genre TV shows and Movies that we critiqued.

Of course The Marvel and DC television and movie franchises get in there as do other shows like Doctor Who.

So tune in if you want to find out what we felt were the best and worst of the year.

Thanks to Marx Pyle and his wife Julie for taking the time to host this end of year episode with us.

Welcome to the penultimate episode of SFP-NOW for 2018.

In this episode Raissa and Ian give their thoughts on the recent CW Elesworlds crossover event and make a few predictions about how it could impact on Arrow and the eventual Crisis and Infinite Earths Cossover, which we'll see in late 2019.

Both Ian and Raissa were impressed with Ruby Rose's interpretation of Bat Woman, but felt that not enough was seen of her given that she was only in the second episode, but look forward to seeing her get developed in the future.

We also take some time to look back at Jody Whitaker's first season as Doctor Who and discuss the strong and weak points of the season. We both pretty much come to the conclusion that this first season for Jody Whitaker's Doctor hasn't been a strong one.

So why not set your time machines on pause. Enjoy a few mince pies and yell at us from the sidelines as we get all cranky and opinionated about our favourite science fiction and superhero shows.

So why not

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW

For this episode Raissa and Ian discuss recent episodes of Doctor Who, Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl.

One topic that gets discussed is how we feel that the political stance in Supergirl could be ruining the series given that it is so obvious in regards to where the story will wind up.

As far as the other DC shows go. We both come to the conclusion that 'Arrow' is knocking it out of the park this year and we speculate as to whether or not we'll eventually see the other Al Ghul sister.

When it comes to Doctor Who. We discuss the recent historical episodes and how they are written a little differently to how they were on the classic series.

So tune in and feel free to comment on anything we say.

Join Ian Cullen, T. Shawn Hardy and Linda Hardy as they discuss some of their favorite things about the Halloween Holiday as they slowly get rather drunk on a combination of strange brews.

Among the many things discussed are Sky Ones A Discovery of Witches, which concludes its first season on Friday, but will most likely be available on Skys Demand service for those that haven't caught it.

We also discuss a bizarre new cookery show on Netflix called 'The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell' as well as 'Haunting Of Hill House' and 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'.

So tune in and scoff lots of pumpkin pie.

Welcome to another exciting episode of SFP-NOW.

This week Raissa and Ian give their thoughts on the first three episodes of Doctor Who and have some pretty high praise for Rosa, which felt like the first real historical episode that Doctor Who has had in awhile.

After that we also discuss the new episodes of Arrow, The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow, Titans and Black lightning.

Finishing off the episode Raissa gives her thoughts on the recent animated 'Constantine' movie, which was released a short while ago from Warner Bros.

So tune in for all these opinions and so much more from SFP-NOW
