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!

Our fifth season is Decoding John Ford, a seven-episode series about cinema's most mysterious auteur. Using scores of never-before-heard archival interviews, host Ben Mankiewicz strips back John Ford's self-spun mythology to reveal his brilliance behind the camera – alongside the often ugly, uncomfortable truths about his life and movies, asking whether we can ever truly separate art from the artist. Decoding John Ford starts June 6.

While discussing Empuraan:
Abhinandan: Why is it called L:2 Empuraan?
Manisha: The second!
Jayashree: Yes, so the first one was Lucifer. But this L is a thing. Something would be happening casually in the movie and a rock will fall in the shape of an L. Or Mohanlal will be walking past a tree which will catch fire in the shape of an L.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree: Why?
Jayashree: Because he is L for Lucifer, guys.
Rajyasree: (cracks up) I’m not going to watch this one.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri, Rajyasree Sen, Jayashree Arunachalam and Manisha Pande discuss the TV series The White Lotus and The Studio, the movie L:2 Empuraan, and their favourite Val Kilmer roles.
