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.

“The Honesty, which is kindness, that comes across as cruelty.” This episode is about collecting the Biker Scout, but it is also about the pre-Facebook / Post-Facebook collector divide. We talk about the rocket rider’s short snout and proofs while also penning an open letter to the unofficial leadership council of the FaceBook collectors. We invite John Alvarez and Joe Yglesias -the eternally old-and-grumpy Stattler and Waldorf of vintage Star Wars - to share tales of old hobby beefs and how it used to be on Rebelscum. John pipes in to discuss how he built his storied and dismantled Biker Scout run and then Joe helps us to think about where the Scout DNA hides in Vintage bootlegs. Plus FX Master history lessons, VHS commercials, Quartz Stop Watches and an improvised Market Watch on the Gretzky Podcast!
