In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. 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!

The Greatest Films of the Last Five Years

Of course this can’t be THE definitive list of “The Greatest Films of The Last Five Years” but it’s the ones that sprang to mind while we recorded this. We’re here to debunk the notion that “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.” Because they kinda do but you’re missing them because you’re a slave to the algorithm and marketing. Ron said during the recording that we’d provide a list of all the movies we talk about but, um no, just listen to the damn episode and you’ll see we aren’t mentioning any Marvel flicks or stuff everybody knows. This is some populist, yet gourmet shit we’re talking about. These (for our money, which may have a different exchange rate than yours) are movies made recently that aren’t franchises or reboots and have the ability to move you by illustrating some true aspect of the human experience. Enjoy!
