Allow to reintroduce ourselves, again. James and Paul know that you must be as sick of hearing them say that they suck at scheduling but will try to stick as a schedule, as they are of saying it. But hopefully, finally, three years they may have just gotten it! Only time will tell. Until then though, come on in and listen to the two of them discuss a myriad of topics from at the time Netflix's newest release Bright to James being sick. Spoiler alert, James is sick.

Whilst James and Paul may have been being their usual inconsistent selves, geek culture has not. So prepare your ears for a round up of the things that the duo remember, which in this case seems to be mostly Marvel based. Some examples are the recent reveal of Cable from Deadpool 2 and his not at all convoluted history, the, at the time, upcoming Defenders series on Netflix and where the characters all begin. There is a slight somber note though, this may be the last episode of The FluxCast...

What's that?! An alliteration in the title? That is definitely a signal for a good time. Join the dynamic duo of hosts, James and Paul, as they dissect E3 2017. Going conference by conference almost each and every game will at least be mentioned, not discussed but mentioned. Please don't blame them though, it's not their fault they are biased.

Why try and say it better than Peter Quill himself? In case you hadn't guessed from the title, James and Paul are discussing the return of Marvel's favourite A-Holes the Guardians of the Galaxy. So please join the duo as they discuss all things Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Actually discuss is sort of a strong word now that we think of it, fangirling may be better word in this instance.

Aren't puns great? This episode James and Paul put on their game critic hats and try and review the latest game they have both purchased Forza Horizon 3. Spoiler alert, it's very pretty. We also learn that we do not have a one track brain this episode and end up getting a little distracted.

Unfortunately we are not live from the red carpet speaking to the actors and actresses that have been nominated to win one of these prestigious awards as we have not yet hit the big time. This week we try and present an in depth category by category breakdown of the upcoming Oscars, but very quickly realise that we did not watch nearly enough films this year so some categories get the short end of the stick.

Prepare for the most muted birthday celebrations you have ever heard! James, Paul and Thomas are all back together to celebrate turning the grand old age of one. In traditional FluxCast style the birthday celebrations last for all of about a minute before it is brushed under the rug for slightly more macabre topics. Macabre in this episode means death and more specifically Thomas' death and even more specifically how if you can come up with a creative enough method of murder for Thomas then...

Ladies and gentlemen, boy and girls. You are all cordially invited to the Second Annual Fluxies. This exclusive event is equivalent to the Oscars and movies, the Tonys and theatre or the AMAs and music. Actually in all honestly this event is probably better suited being compared to the Razzies. But we digress, this episode is our homage to 2016 where we will be handing out awards to what we consider the best video games, films and television series of the year. So sit back, relax and...

The terrific twosome, and the podcast as a whole, return. Excitement this week is high as, like Ross and Rachel, Paul and James are back together. Prepare for a deep dive on all things Canada, which in this case means the NHL, snow, discount PayPal and why it shall henceforth be known as England Lite. If that doesn't get those ears opening we also discuss Japanese rugby teams, the one place you discuss the offside rule and Paul almost maybe get us sued? We don't know on that one though. Come...
