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!

With our return back to format, Peter and Ray travel to the year 1985 to revisit the film, Desperately Seeking Susan. This movie stars a cast of different fantastic actors (especially Rosanna Arquette) but is probably known as Madonna's first feature-length film role. Does this time capable of an 80's flick still hold-up or should it be left on the shelf? Listen to the show to find out!
Tune in next week when we jump ahead to the year 1994 to rewatch the movie, Pulp Fiction.
Shout Outs: Peter- The Late Late Show w/Craig Ferguson (Youtube) | Ray- Supermarket Sweep (Netflix)
