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!

Harry and Rory recruit musician David Lightfoot of rock band The Fades for the Star League, as they are whisked away for an adventure in childhood nostalgia and intergalactic warfare in The Last Starfighter! Teenager Alex Rogan is stuck living in a trailer park in the middle on nowhere, but when he gets the high score on a Starfighter arcade machine, it turns out his time blasting digital space ships was preparing him for the real thing. Does he have what it takes to defeat Xur and take out the Ko-Dan Armada? And how does this 80's cult classic fare nearly 40 years later?
This podcast contains SPOILERS for The Last Starfighter (1984), from 52:00.
