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!

In this vengeful episode, special guest Andrew Bowser challenges Vanessa and Elijah to find the perfect martial arts pairing for one of the greatest creature features of all time: Pumpkinhead. After getting to the heart of what makes Pumpkinhead so effective, Vanessa and Elijah counter with the absolutely bonkers Jet Li classic, The New Legend Of Shaolin. But can a movie this goofy truly pair with the bleak tale of grief and vengeance that is Pumpkinhead? What did Andrew Bowser think of his first kung fu movie? And is Vanessa going to marry Red Bean?
The official snack pairing for Pumpkinhead and The New Legend Of Shaolin is candy pumpkins that you clumsily try to eat with a big pair of metal claws.
This episode was brought to you by a love of 80s horror. And SPEAKING OF our love for classic horror, please support Andrew Bowser’s feature film Kickstarter at www.onyxthemovie.com
