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.

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. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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.

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

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. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.

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 See acast.com/privacy for privacy an

Welcome to another episode of SFP-NOWFor 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.
