In our last show for the year we take a first look at The Boys spinoff series Gen V, the third Guardians of the Galaxy is on its way, a G-O-T twist for zombie apocalypse series The Last of Us, the latest Transformers movie, a new Starship Troopers game, a new season of Japanese trapped-in-a game series Alice in Borderland and our North American correspondent has the latest sci-fi news from Hollywood.
Amazon's singular supehero series The Boys certainly includes some very dark elements but even when the gore is flying, spinning, whizzing through the air and or dripping from every surface, the tone is more often comedic than grim.
Spinoff Gen V showrunners Michelle Fazekas and Tara Butters also have a history of genre dramas with a healthy comedic sheen, so it's surprising that our first look at their new series is all bloody and terrifying.
Courtesy of Amazon, we now have a trailer for The Boys season 3 and it clears up the mystery from their earlier teaser - Billy's superpowers.
We particularly appreciate the opening with Homelander repeatedly spewing carefully crafted and sanitised sound bytes to distance himself from his season 2 Nazi signifant other.
In this week’s edition, a first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the latest Marvel hero joining the MCU this month, we talk to a visual effects expert about his work on sci-fi movies and the final nominations for the Ion Sci-Fi Awards – the best film category.
