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!

It wasn't difficult to choose the movies for our first Christmas episode. Not only does Joe Dante's Gremlins (1984) hold up as a supremely entertaining movie, but it's also a truly impressive blend of comedy, horror, science fiction, and Christmas movie. But how would the "three rules" actually work in reality? What qualifies as "after midnight"? Heck, what technically qualifies as "eating"?!? And let's talk a bit about that infamous microwave sequence.
And it only made sense to match Gremlins up with its much wackier sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), a film so insane it not only breaks the fourth wall; it demolishes it. Loaded with fun performances, crazy new gremlins, and an adorably chaotic tone, G2 poses even more strange questions. Like: “what is genetic sunblock?" and “why the heck is Hulk Hogan in this movie?”
We cover all this craziness and more in a Gremlin-filled episode of Science vs Fiction!
