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!

22:49 The New Slang: TWISTERS
62:20 The Other Side: Andrew and Ryan talk further reading after Lee Isaac Chung’s new film
Thoughts from your host…
Given that we are talking about a big pop blockbuster, I describe this episode as “a cookout”. Well, as fate would happen, Saturday night I actually found myself at a cookout.
Turns out, it was a pretty good metaphor!
There were good conversations had, lots of delicious morsels, jokes that weren’t all that funny but made us laugh pretty hard anyway.
It was a good time catching up with old friends…just like this film and this episode.
Maybe this is what summer is for?
Grab a drink and fix a plate – it’s time for a cookout.
