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 ...

Three thousand years after a chunk of iron the size of Khufu’s pyramid collides with Europa, Jupiter’s sixth moon, an asteroid borne of the collision crashes into Earth’s Arctic ice shelf carrying extraterrestrial microbial life. The first man to come into contact with the microbes hears voices—and then dies. After determining the meteorite originated from Europa, the Global Exploratory Corporation sends oceanographer and biologist, Kathy Connelly, and her crew to the moon aboard the Surveyo ...

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!

Werewolf Ambulance is a horror movie comedy podcast. Allen and Katie watch horror movies from all eras and of all qualities and then discuss them in a not-so-academic way (just as the name "Werewolf Ambulance" might imply!) and then discuss and rate them. The episodes do contain spoilers, so please watch the films before listening if that bothers you!

Welcome to another exciting episode of the SFP-NOW reviews show. Having returned from their epic weekend at Dragon Con. Marx and Jeff have a fair bit to share about their weekend of panels as well as good news about their book sales.
As far as TV reviews go. We take a less is more approach this week as we discuss Ahsoka, which continues the adventures of the popular character from Star Wars: Clone Wars and Rebels. In fact Ian says that it might as well be called Rebels season 5 because it uses many of the popular characters from that series and kind of picks up from where that series left off.
We also take a rather critical look at The Wheel of Time, which once again suffers from some rather iffy pacing when it comes to unraveling the story.
And finally. Marx and Jeff sing loudly about the new Netflix drama One Piece, which is a feature adaptation of the popular long-running anime and manga series created by Eiichiro Oda. This show follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew as they search for the ultimate treasure known as "One Piece" in a vast and colorful world filled with pirates, marines, and powerful devil fruit users.
