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!

This week, we're going back to 1997 with the now-cult classic sci-fi film review of Starship Troopers!
Doing their part, Alex & Dan return to the sofa with a retrospective review of what was initially a concern of a far-right advertisement and alleged wooden performances by a stellar line up!
Discussing the production, plot, reviews and how it ended up creating a range of sequels and spin off's, the duo guide you through the gory adventures of Jonny Rico and Dizzy!
Recounting their memories of when they first saw the film (Alex at one of his earliest pre-teen sleep overs!) and Dan's dodgy tape deliveries at the back of a van, it's another trip down the nostalgia lane for the dynamic southcoast duo!
Alex also needs to explain the birds and the bees with Dan, with an uncomfortable parental discussion on arousing thoughts... who'd have thought this podcast would remain in the gutter? Come on! We all did, let's face it.....
