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? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

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 122, hosts Alyce and Laura venture* bravely into Star Wars and its scary fandom!
- Alyce goes button-mashing in a cloud of cigarette smoke. In other words, she lost $20 on a slot machine at a casino.
- New wine fridge invention idea, we call it!
- Lord of the Rings man-species hotties are old af (in-universe, that is)
- Star Wars Outlaws came out. That’s all we have to say about that, we’re not gamers.
- The next season of Ahsoka is probably at least 18 months away
- On that note, whatever business model these television series are using that is causing it to take 3+ years to make eight (8) 30-minute episodes needs to be abolished immediately
- RIP The Acolyte (via Deadline)
- And on that note, is the Star Wars fandom scaring away talent? This Rolling Stone article weighs in
- How The Mandalorian & Grogu movie needs to balance its various audiences
- Allegedly Boba Fett will not be in the Mando movie. But who knows?
- On a more positive note, we finally got a Skeleton Crew trailer last month! We’re excited, we like the look, we are sat.
- Recap on Tap: It’s the Kelnacca one-shot comic by Cavan Scott! Alyce and Laura have differing takes and no idea how to pronounce anyone’s names, but it makes for an interesting conversation!
- A brief investigation into where things stand with the forthcoming (?) video game Star Wars Eclipse
After we recorded but before this episode was released, we learned about the death of iconic Darth Vader voice actor James Earl Jones on September 9, 2024. We raise a toast in celebration of Jones’ life, legacy and his incredible 60-year career in film, television and stage. RIP.
Helpful links referenced in this episode:
- John Rocha, Kevin Smets and Laura discussed The Acolyte’s cancellation on the Aug. 20th episode of The Jedi Way
- On the most recent episode of The Jedi Way, Michael Vogel joined John and Laura to celebrate 10 years of Star Wars canon: what worked, what worked for us and what’s to come
