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!

Sometimes, bad movies are the most fun you'll have in front of a small screen. All you gotta do is grab some like-minded friends and good times can be had by all. And while your personal mileage may vary, is there a science to the phenomenon? A credible explanation as to what separates the Good-Bad from the downright awful?
Eh, who cares. In the spirit of liking what you like, we're gonna shout out a slew of movies we love in spite of their flaws!
Along for the ride is the most excellent author/editor Ed Kurtz!
And later on, don't miss the debut of our brand new B-Segment as Justin Cooper tells you why he's GOT ISSUES.
Snag your copy of Ed's new anthology "In the Cold, Cold Ground: An Anthology of New England Horror" over at the Zon and other fine book sellers!
