In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

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!

Weird Scenes Week 91 (2/23/23): Clint Eastwood Makes Your Day

Clint Eastwood, Jr. was born into wealth in San Francisco, complete with in-ground pool and country club membership. Despite being drafted into the Korean war, never saw a lick of combat, serving as lifeguard at Fort Ord for his entire stint in the military, all very much belieing his later "tough guy" image.
Lambasted as a terrible actor by Hollywood filmmakers and acting coaches alike, he nevertheless managed to land a few walk on roles in classic 50s sci fi monster flicks and television westerns, based entirely on his looks.
But by another huge stroke of luck, his role on TV's Rawhide got him a role in an Italian western when his costar turned it down...and that film and its sequel launched an entire genre.
A trio of films with Sergio Leone and a 5 film run as maverick cop Dirty Harry spanned two full decades, making this very lucky fellow an actor, director and producer...and moreover, an American icon.
Giving right wing sacred cow Ronald Reagan one of his most trademarkable catchphrases and delivering the most unintentionally amusing bits of impromptu political theater ever recorded with his last minute "empty chair debate" at the 2012 RNC, Clint also delivered popular favorites like Every Which Way But Loose, Escape from Alcatraz, Kelly's Heroes, The Gauntlet and The Unforgiven...plenty of juicy backstory and cinema for us to dig into (and we do, in our own inimitable manner!)
Join us as we alternately celebrate and have some well deserved laughs at the expense of the oft problematic but ever fascinating career of the inimitable Clint Eastwood, only here at Weird Scenes!
