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!

In this episode of the show we are joined by the great Kevin and Erin from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die to talk about JCVD's second collaboration with Peter Hyams - Sudden Death. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie fits into the legacy of Die Hard, how JCVD wants to abandon his martial artist garb in favour of an everyman outfit and how Powers Boothe functions as a Hans Gruber facsimile. We also talk about the ridiculousness of the film's central conceit, JCVD's ninja firefighter skills, the dangers of leaving a professional kitchen without powering down the equipment and much more!
Tune in and enjoy!
