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!

IMPORTANT STUFF: It's Steve DiSchiavi's Birthday!
This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Pandora’s Box” (Season 1 Episode 15) which aired June 1, 2012.
Buckle up as we journey through haunted histories, spirited antics, and a house almost as populated with angels as a Hallmark store during Christmas.
So, grab your body glitter, and join us where… The Activity Continues.
Content Warning:
In this episode we mention a horrible death due to fire, compassionate end of life issues (medically assisted suicide), child death, this one’s got a lot so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, we swear.
The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of recurring jokes about recurring tropes.
We also occasionally do interviews with people from the paranormal world, with the goal of learning from others. We think you’ll really benefit from the things these people have to say.
Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe.
This episode was recorded on April 7, 2025, and released on May 1, 2025.
this release date is Steve DiSchiavi's Birthday!
