    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: The Guys Talk About The Boys and More…

    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!

    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: The Guys Chat Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Star Wars

    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 finally, Marx updates us about Dark Matter and we close out with a brief preview of what we’ll be discussing in the next episode.  If you enjoyed our reviews show, please subscribe to our feeds and follow us on ⁠Spotify⁠ and ⁠iTunes

    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: The Gang Discuss X-Men 97, Dark Matter & More

    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.

    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: Star Trek & Doctor Who Get Discussed & Ian Goes Ape

    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.

    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: The Gang Discuss Star Trek: Discovery & New Amazon Series Fallout

    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 The Chase as a basis for its final season. No doubt we’ll be beaming back next month with more thoughts on the show.  Once Ian and Marx have discussed Star Trek: Disco to death. Jeff and Ian commiserate with each other about their disappointment about the cancelation of Quantum Leap.  Other shows discussed this month include Shogun, 3 Body Problem, Invincible, and X-Men 97.  If you enjoyed our reviews show, please subscribe to our feeds and follow us on Spotify and iTunes

    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: The Gang Discuss The Last Airbender & Express Bitter Disappointment Over The New Season of Halo

    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 myself and Marx a really strong review for the series.  We wrap things up with a discussion about how pretty much all of us are really cheesed off about the change in direction and storyline that has happened for the second season of Halo.  So tune in for some fun discussion and a good mixture of views on some of the latest genre shows on TV.  If you enjoyed our reviews show, please subscribe to our feeds and follow us on Spotify and

  8. SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: Doctor Who Specials & Best TV & Films of 2023

    01/26/2024

    SFP-NOW TV REVIEWS SHOW: Doctor Who Specials & Best TV & Films of 2023

    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 each episode. We figured we’d just do an aggregate score for all the episodes.  After are time travel escapades with The Doctor. We take a look at the best of 2023. To do this we created three categories. Best New TV Show, Best Returning TV Show, and Best Movie. To make things interesting we each picked our best for each category as well as two honourable mentions a piece. I think you’ll be surprised by some of our choices. But maybe not all that surprised by some of our other choices.  Shows that get mentioned include The Ark, Superman & Lois, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Star Trek: Picard and more. So tune in to find out who picked what.
