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!

1994: The Oddballs
Manage episode 403203024 series 2796325

Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN to wrap up their series on the year in cinema that was 1994. This time we take a more personal approach. Rather than one theme tying them together, Devin & James have each picked 2 movies from 1994 that they want to discuss... just because. James gives us a backstory on why 1994 was such an important year for Hong Kong action movies becoming popular in the United States with Jet Li's FIST OF LEGEND and Jackie Chan's epic DRUNKEN MASTER 2 (aka Legend of the Drunken Master). Devin goes in a much more random direction, choosing the nearly-forgotten prison action trope-fest, NO ESCAPE, starring Ray Liotta, and makes a case for rediscovering the criminally underseen masterpiece, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY, from the Coen Brothers! Plus we name-drop a whole lotta other '94 movies that deserve to be mentioned before we close out our first series!
