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 heat got to us this week, folks. Despite our melted brains, we talked about a movie that is as fantastic as it is historic. Cheryl Dunye’s 1996 film The Watermelon Woman is a must-see for any baby gay. Haley makes the case for your local library (again), while Claire has a minor existential crisis about lost media, whether it goes by way of Adobe pulling the plug on flash player or a few people in musty buildings deeming certain aspects of history "unimportant."
Thank you for listening! If you like what you heard you should check us out on Instagram or join us on our Patreon.
