Actor, Ballet Dancer, Writer, and More!

Former Ballet dancer, actor Alex Diehl, joins us in this week's fascinating episode! He appeared in Star Trek: Picard as several synth characters in the first and second season. He loves to write and is working on his own projects, too! We loved our time with Alex and you will love hearing about his life and work, as well as his home in Spain.

🚨SPOILERS🚨

We are ALL Sinners

The SyFy Sistas are joined by the full crew from our SyFy Sistas Inc. YouTube channel, with special guests Tanya Scott-Thomas (Two Moons and a Microphone) and Derek Tyler Attico (Soul of the Story), for a celebration and deep-dive into Sinners, the genre-bending horror film from Ryan Coogler.
Set against the backdrop of Jim Crow Mississippi (1932), Sinners doesn’t just scare—it sings, it haunts, and it heals. Through blues, blood, and Black spirituality, this film reclaims horror to show the humanity of Black people with nuance, reverence, and power.
🔴 We honor the pain.

🔴 We celebrate the beauty.

🔴 We see the sacred in the terrifying.
This isn’t just a review—it’s a spiritual reckoning, a cinematic celebration, and a conversation you won’t forget.

Film and Television Composer

We were thrilled to have Strange New Worlds and Prodigy composer, Nami Melumad, join us for a fascinating and fun discussion about her work on Trek and other films, as well as her love for Star Trek and music. We truly go where we haven't gone before on The BIG Sci-Fi by having Nami, our first composer, on the show! We had fun and we know you will too as she shares about what it's like to score music for films and television.
