Welcome to this slightly delayed episode, originally planned for July but postponed due to various obstacles. In this episode, Marx and Ian dive into The Boys, specifically focusing on episodes 4 through 6. The show seems to tap directly into current political and social issues in the USA. Along the way, we briefly touch on Supernatural and our hope that Eric Kripke's decision to end the series is respected, allowing The Boys to have a strong, satisfying conclusion. We then discuss the now-canceled series Dead Boy Detectives and reveal why we believe it’s a cat that truly rules the universe—you’ll have to listen to find out more! We wrap things up with conversations about Invincible and the series Evil, which Ian only recently discovered through Amazon, as it had flown under his radar. So pull up a chair, crack open a beer, and join us in celebrating—or critiquing—these shows!

Welcome to another episode of our reviews podcast.  In this episode, Marx and Ian chew the fat on three of the biggest science fiction and fantasy franchises out there.  We kick-off with a discussion about the recent series of Doctor Who give our thoughts on the season finale and talk about the good and the bad. The good is the fact that they managed to get Gabriel Woolf to once again provide his voice for the role of Sutekh.  Also up for discussion is the series finale of Star Trek: Discovery. Due to the fact that we are quite late with this discussion. We sort of have a look at the series as a whole and talk about how it evolved from what was a bumpy start. Ian also comments on the fact that the show seemed to be trying to have as many endings as The Lord of The Rings trilogy.  So, is The Acolyte the death of the Star Wars franchise? That is a question that many in the fan base have been asking or in some cases predicting. So Marx and I take up the challenge and give our view on the topic.  And fina

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOW in which Marx and Ian discuss their pick of genre television shows and the occasional movies. For this episode, Marx provides his final thoughts on the first season of Disney's animated X-Men 97 series, which pretty much picked the story up from where it left off when the original X-Men series ended. Also discussed is the new Dark Matter series on Apple TV, which is another mystery box-style series that involves alternate universes and lots of hightened drama. To close out this episode. Ian gives his reviews and thoughts on GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE and GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE. Given that both films mention an Ice Age and have the words Empire in them. We ponder the question of whether Hollywood is trying to forewarn us about a new ICE AGE and a pending FROZEN EMPIRE.

Welcome to another episode of the SFP-NOW and a change of Format as they guys look at putting out two shows every couple of weeks instead of one every month.  For this episode, Ian and Marx discuss Doctor Who and Star Trek: Discovery and we talk briefly about the renewal of a certain Netflix series.  We start with our thoughts about the opening two episodes of the newly rebooted Doctor Who. Marx and I agree that the silliness of ‘Space Babies’ was fun, but we felt that ‘The Devil's Chord’ was the strongest of the two episodes.  When it comes to Star Trek: Discovery we both agree that this series has probably been the strongest and it is in part thanks to the writers lending from a previous Star Trek story. However, we both still feel that the single story over one season model is perhaps not the right model for Star Trek.  Finally, Ian shares his thoughts and goes Ape about ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ and somehow manages to do so without giving out to many spoilers. 

Welcome to the April Edition of the SFP-NOW TV Reviews Show.  In this episode Marx, Jeff, and Ian boldly go through over a month's worth of TV shows as we sift through some of the highs and lows of the month.  We kick-off with our final thoughts on the Netflix series Avatar: The Last Airbender as we all chat about the final episode and rave about the stunning visual FX and fantastic acting performances.  The tone changes dramatically as Jeff, Marx, and Ian give their first impressions of Amazon's new series Fallout, which is based on the video game series of the same name. We all comment about the show's visuals as well as the satirical humor of the show and we’ll no doubt revisit the series next month once we have all had a chance to watch it all.  Having survived the nuclear apocalypse Marx and Ian leave jeff behind to negotiate with The Ghoul while we discuss the new season of Star Trek: Discovery and chat about how the most controversial Star Trek show is using the classic TNG episode Th

Welcome to another episode of the SFP-NOW TV Reviews Show.  This month Ian, Marx and Jeff get their swashbuckling shoes on as they discuss a shedload of new shows that have launched on various platforms that cover the first two months of the year.  We kick off the show with my thoughts on the new season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch and how the third season is really leaning into the cloning story, which has fed through to The Mandalorian.  The second show we look at is the new Netflix take on The Last Airbender. Ian and Marx discuss their enjoyment of the show and like the fact that it has good representation for Asian and Indiginus peoples. Where Jeff, who also liked the show expresses his concerns that it maybe a little bit to much like the original animated series that the show is based on.  Other shows that get discussed include True Detective and Quantum Leap, which we will revisit in another show so that Jeff and I can discuss the finale. Also discussed is the latest take on Zorro in which Jeff gives m

Welcome to our first episode of 2024 as we take a look back at some of the highlights of 2023. 2023 didn’t get off to the greatest of starts for Ian as he wound up in Hospital for about 10 days with a case of Double pneumonia and a Blood Clot on one of his lungs. So suffice it to say he had to rethink a few things, which included scifipulse.net and the podcast.  So after some thought and a chat with Marx Pyle. Ian decided to roll many of the TV reviews that used to feature on the website into a monthly podcast format. Which is how this show was born. And after some time of having him on as a guest we decided to bring our friend Jeff Burns in so as to hopefully give you all a good mixture of views, which saw us have some interesting discussions about various Star Trek episodes as Jeff’s view is often a little different to ours, which we all see as a good thing.  So we kick this show off with our review of the Doctor Who specials and the Christmas Day episode ‘The Church on Ruby Road’. Instead of reviewing ea

Welcome to our last episode of 2023. Recorded on the 1st of December. Ian, Marx, and Jeff discuss their continued enjoyment of Baldurs Gate 3 before getting into the TV reviews. On the television front. We start the episode with our thoughts on the new Apple Plus series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which is a tie-in series to the 2014 Godzilla movie and dives into the origins of the mysterious corporation Monarch. Of course, this is a monster show so we use sound effects to rate it. Then Ian quickly gives a plug for 'For All Mankind', which is the series that persuaded him to part with his money and sub to Apple Plus. This show is a fantastic alternate history of The US and Russian Space programs and asks a lot of great "What if" type of questions. And finally to wrap up our thoughts on Apple Plus TV shows. Jeff and Marx discuss the mystery box series Silo, which is set in a dystopian future where humanity lives in a Silo, which has 144 levels. Next up is The Marvels. Marx gives his

Welcome to another episode of the SFP-NOW Reviews show. After what has been a long break. We're back with a slightly longer episode to cover as much as we can. In this episode, Ian, Jeff, and Marx return with reviews of newer shows like Netflix's Bodies and Amazon Gen V & Upload. But also give their thoughts on shows that have finished their first seasons like Ahsoka & One Piece. Added to all of that. We also talk a little about Baldurs Gate 3, which is a game that we have all been playing when not recording podcasts. So tune in for our thoughts on that and a great many things. As we get through a lot of stuff in this episode.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the SFP-NOW reviews show. Having returned from their epic weekend at Dragon Con. Marx and Jeff have a fair bit to share about their weekend of panels as well as good news about their book sales. As far as TV reviews go. We take a less is more approach this week as we discuss Ahsoka, which continues the adventures of the popular character from Star Wars: Clone Wars and Rebels. In fact Ian says that it might as well be called Rebels season 5 because it uses many of the popular characters from that series and kind of picks up from where that series left off. We also take a rather critical look at The Wheel of Time, which once again suffers from some rather iffy pacing when it comes to unraveling the story. And finally. Marx and Jeff sing loudly about the new Netflix drama One Piece, which is a feature adaptation of the popular long-running anime and manga series created by Eiichiro Oda. This show follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew as they se

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

Welcome to another exciting episode of the SFP-NOW TV Reviews Podcast.

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. Next up Jeff gives us his thoughts on Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and enjoyed how the film uses A.I. as the main part of its story. He was particularly impressed wi

Welcome to another episode of the SFP-Reviews show in which talk all things genre television and movies. For this episode Ian, Marx, and Jeff Burns give their thoughts on the new Flash movie, which sees Ezra Miller take on the role of the Scarlet Speedster. To say that we were all pleasantly surprised by this film would be an understatement as we all had fairly low expectations. In regards to the TV reviews. We look at the new Marvel series Secret Invasion, chat about the new season of The Witcher, and close out the episode with a spirited discussion about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and some of the continuity changes that have happened due to time travel. Do you agree or disagree with us all? Please feel free to join in the discussion by leaving a comment.

Welcome to another fun-filled episode of the SFP-NOW TV Reviews Show. In this episode, Ian and Marx are once again joined by Supergeeked Up's Jeff Burns as we boldly go where we always go in order to discuss the latest genre television. After our brief catch-up discussion in which gaming and Jeff's writing comes up as well as an update about 'Tales of Monstrosity: Monsters, Myths, and Miscreants'. We transition smoothly into the TV Reviews. On the menu for this week's episode and in no particular order are the Amazon Prime series Citadel as we discuss that finale, The Grython, Sky Televisions The Lazarus Project, which is returning for a second season soon. Netflix's Fubar and of course the return of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. We kick off with a chat about the series finale of Citadel, which impressed us with its high-octane stunts and solid acting. Ian and Marx felt that some of the flashback scenes on the show were a bit dominant in regards to they slowed down the story som

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. Meanwhile, Marx gave a brilliant update about his anthology book Tales of Monstrosity: Monsters, Myths, and Miscreants and updated about what he has been up to. Insofar as reviews for this week. Ian talks about the new animated series Gremlins: Secrets of The Mogwai, which is a new prequel series to the film franchise, which tells the story of how Gizmo wound up living among humans. Also discussed is the new Netflix spy comedy Fubar, which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as a CIA agent who on his last mission learns that his daughter has also been working for The Company. Other shows discussed includ

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

Welcome to another exciting review show in which Marx and Ian are once again joined by Supergeeked Up's Jeff Burns to chew the fat over a bunch of recent TV shows. In this episode, we chat about the new Amazon Prime Spy series Citadel, which has some fantastic action and adventure to it as well as two brilliant lead actors in the form of Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as super spies Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh. This series puts us in mind of all the best elements of James Bond and Mission Impossible movies. And Jeff Burns was really impressed with one particular action scene from the show's third episode. Moving things along Marx and I give our final thoughts for now on the series finales for Star Trek: Picard and The Mandalorian. And keeping on the subject of Star Wars. Ian gives his first impressions on the new video game Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and admits that his impressions are based on the first 2 or 3 hours of gameplay. As he is most likely still trying to complete the game. Roun

Welcome to the sixth episode of The new SFP-NOW review show in Which Marx Pyle and I discuss all of our favorite TV Shows and movies. We kick this week's episode off with Marx's review of the new Dungeons & Dragons movie in which Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and Regé-Jean Page kick some dragon butt. Marx feels that this version of the film is a big improvement over the 2000 version. As it pulls in more from the various different settings that feature in the D&D Table Top Games. Our D&D Chat sort of moves over into a movie discussion in general where we discuss the DC movies and how all the different films seem to be somewhat disjointed from each other. As the movie chat moves toward Superman. We move into discussing Superman & Lois and do a quick catch-up on some of the more recent episodes. From Superman. We move on to Gotham Knights, which sees the group get called The Gotham Knights for the first time. We discuss some of the mythology that this show is using from the comics
