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?

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!

Positively Trek 261: The Enduring Personality of James T. Kirk
A 60s Icon Through a 21st Century Lens
“Space… The Final Frontier.” With those four words, the voice of Captain James T. Kirk echoes through the minds of Star Trek fans everywhere. Our first peek into the Star Trek universe showed us the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise with the stalwart Captain Kirk commanding the ship and our imaginations.
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan embark on the first of many character examinations, and we start where it all began: with Captain James T. Kirk. Most notably played by William Shatner, and ably reprised by Chris Pine and Paul Wesley, Kirk is an inextricable part of Star Trek. What does this character represent? How do we feel about how he has been portrayed over the years?
