We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

In our review and conversation of Ridley Scott's latest film, The Last Duel, we're heading back 14th century France to witness three accounts of Jean de Carrouges, Jacque le Gris, and Marguerite, and in the process, make our own assumptions of who is telling the truth. In the end, the truth will be revealed by God as we witness a trial by combat between de Carrouges and le Gris that will determine the fate of Marguerite. This film is full of subtle performances, precise direction, and attention to detail. We're discussing much of this film from both a filmmaking and storytelling perspective so join us for a great conversation about this film!
