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!

Since 2010, the We Hate Movies podcast has been loudly celebrating and tearing apart movies from across the spectrum: from forgotten '80s actioners and insane romantic comedies of the '90s, to the early CGI blockbusters of the aughts and the hyper-nostalgic franchises of the 2010s and today. Every week, comedians Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Eric Szyszka, and Chris Cabin pick a movie from the near-past to discuss and joke around about in all its positive and negative glory.

In Episode 124, hosts Alyce and Laura revel* in the rizz (yeah, we know cool slang) of Spooky Season!
- Alyce is watching everything and Laura won’t watch anything new
- Coming to an apocalyptic future soon, probably: cryo-frozen celebrity zombies
- How money could be better spent: new recurring segment, perhaps?
- It wasn’t for us, but if The Acolyte was for you and you want your voice heard in the call for a second season, here are some helpful links: petition, letter template
- Jodie Turner-Smith calls Disney on its sh-t in Glamour UK
- The Hollywood Reporter asks if Disney is bad at Star Wars and, regardless of the answer, the article is at least a comprehensive recap of how we got here
- On that note, apparently toxic fandom is a thing in other fandoms too (not just Star Wars).
- The Art of The High Republic Vol. II finalizes its cover… oh, and it’s release has been delayed
- Mando Maybe-Spoilers? Allegedly some plot details of The Mandalorian and Grogu have leaked and all of them SUCK. Skip 40:05-45:05 to avoid this section.
- Recap on Tap: after a delay or two, all 4 issues of The High Republic Adventures: Saber For Hire are finally out! We didn’t realize how much we’ve missed having Ty Yorrick in our lives. Join us as we discuss the comic mini-series issue by issue [skip 45:55-1:15:20 to avoid spoilers]
Helpful links referenced in this episode:
- Kevin Smets, John Rocha and Laura Kelly discuss the epidemic of toxicity in fandom and possibility of more live-action Obi-Wan on the October 9th episode of The Jedi Way
