This week, Summer talks about her TV watching options, which have expanded greatly with the release of the Playstation VUE, and it's inclusion on Amazon Fire TV... both of which were eagerly recommended by Slice of SciFi listeners (thank you!)

Eventually, there will be an Amazon Fire TV purchase, then sometime later a subscription to Playstation VUE, and very likely a technology review a little while later.

Summer also rants a little bit about Hulu's quality control fail when it comes to certain ads, and how they seemingly don't care so much if some ads break the app on some specific TV brands.

Campy monster movies are on deck for today, and since my favorite dinosaur as a kid was the pterodactyl, this movie seems as if it will be a perfect storm of silly fun.

Co-directors Don Bitters and Geoff Reisner drop by to talk about how the story came to be and how the short film ideas grew into a feature filmmaking adventure. Don and Geoff discuss the writing process involved in developing the screenplay, the design of the actual creatures, and their tricks for keeping a production on a tight budget running smoothly.

Terrordactyl will be available on DVD in the UK on April 25, and in the US on June 7, and is available for pre-order now.

This week, versatile actress Marisol Nichols drops by for a chat with Summer and Liz about her pivotal and influential role as The Desert Wolf on MTV's hit drama, Teen Wolf. Not only is she Malia's mother, she's come to town to kill her own daughter, and that's just the tip of this complicated character's iceberg!

Did you know that there are a handful of actors on Teen Wolf who also co-starred or guest starred with her on ABC's The Gates? She didn't realize how many there were, but Liz gives us all the rundown.

This week, Summer and Liz Carlie chat with writer/director Ari Kirschenbaum about his indie feature Live-Evil, and all the challenges and adventures that went into making a horror-comedy in this modern horror era, and the extra challenges he faced with both the tone shift balance of horror & comedy in the film and with the visual shift that accompanies that tone change.

The tagline goes "It's Ghostbusters meets Dawn of the Dead as seen through the Twilight Zone"... and that combination of humor and horror without getting silly is a challenging balance to achieve, and this movie accomplishes that.

For more on the movie, check out Liz's review here on Slice of SciFi.

Daniel Abella, director of the Philip K.
