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.

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.

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...

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.
