The Fall of the House of Usher
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
04/02/24 • 94 min
We culminate a conversation that's been playing out for 2 months on our Patron segments by circling up a broader conversation about Netflix's series THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, adapted by Mike Flanagan and his team from the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
Over the past eight episodes, our Patron segments have been tracking each episode of the show in detail, focusing on what we liked, what we didn't, and what simply "ain't right". Now, we culminate the conversation by diving into the show's central conceit and the thematic implications of what it means to gain the world at the cost of your soul.
We hope you enjoy this concluding chapter in our coverage of the Netflix series!

Interview: Dr. David Gushee - Defending Democracy
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
09/03/23 • 76 min
On this special Sunday edition of The Fear of God, Nathan invites back to the show author, professor, and Christian ethicist Dr. David Gushee for discussion about his new book: DEFENDING DEMOCRACY FROM ITS CHRISTIAN ENEMIES.
While the work's title certainly pulls no punches about its themes, both its content and this conversation is incredibly thoughtful, tracking the history and development of democracy as a national framework and providing crucial context for why it is presently being challenged by certain strands of thought within the Christian faith. In moments both hopeful and sobering, this dialogue not only illuminates why this consideration is so vital for our moment in history, but points the way towards stronger reconciliation and communal cooperation between divergent political landscapes.
It's a hearty and thoughtful discussion. We're privileged to have hosted it and we hope you enjoy it.
Previous conversations with Dr Gushee and the Fear of God can be found below.

Hard Candy
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
04/07/20 • 108 min
So on this week's episode, we have a lot of fun with your Top Ten Favorite Horror Films of 2005, before things take a pretty dramatic pivot towards the heartfelt, the heavy, and the provocatively hopeful as we discuss the challenging film by David Slade, HARD CANDY. The film itself wrestles with uncomfortable dynamics, in a way that causes us -- along with special returning guest Vera Goudie -- to have an honest and sensitive conversation about the troubles of predatory behavior, and the equally troubling tendency we have to mistake justice for vengeance and people for monsters. This is a difficult conversation, but remarkably hopeful, and you don't want to miss it.

House of 1000 Corpses
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
03/24/20 • 94 min
We trek along in our next installment of 20/20/2020 by revealing your TOP TEN FAVORITE HORROR FILMS OF 2003 and have an extended conversation about the controversial debut by horror icon Rob Zombie, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES. While the film's quality and influence is negligible, there is no doubt whatsoever about its boldness and audacity. We dissect our feelings about it and uncover a surprising theme about the ways the wicked try to make us believe that good holds no power.

Midsommar
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
02/18/20 • 116 min
It's time to take a little break from all this dark, horrific, nightmarish stuff and take a vacation out to the Swedish countryside for a little focused relaxation with the commune celebrating their-- wait a second... I've got a bad feeling about this. This week, we're joined once again by literary correspondent Meridith Curran as we dive feet first off the cliff into a deep discussion of Ari Aster's sophomore feature, MIDSOMMAR. Despite the pastoral beauty of the Horgath commune, things are not entirely what they seem and this dance around the Maypole might not end well. Meanwhile, we really hope you enjoy the discussion.

Parasite
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
02/11/20 • 118 min
Fresh off its historic award for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, we discuss Bong Joon-Ho's PARASITE, the powerfully affecting and remarkably crafted story of class, social dynamics, ambition, and -- most of all -- pretending. We explore as much as we can of this complex and compelling film (and still only barely scratch the surface). The conversation itself was recorded before the groundbreaking awards at the Oscars, but we're sure to give the film as much RESPECT! as we can possibly shower upon it. We hope you've seen it (please do if you haven't) and we hope you enjoy our discussion about it.

The Shawshank Redemption
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
12/24/19 • 101 min
We close out our series of #differentseasons, ostensibly also saying goodbye to this year's continuing series of Stephen King material, #19, with arguably one of his most widely seen adaptations: THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. 25 years ago, this clunky-titled, period-piece-prison drama entered theaters to mediocre returns and only modest recognition. But thanks to continual word-of-mouth and a successful home video release, it rose to become the number 1 viewer-voted film on IMDB, and remains one of the most beloved films of all time.
We discuss this film's legacy, it's crucial message of hope -- which has more to do with Christmas than it may initially seem -- and how we all must face our own response to the mandate to "get busy livin'". It's a heartfelt close to the season this time around and we hope you enjoy it.

Stephen King's Needful Things (Quarterly King)
The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast
11/21/23 • 116 min
It's that time again! Every 25 episodes or so, we venture into vast catalog that is horror master Stephen King. This time around we assemble the ka-tet with Blake Collier and Ian Olson to tackle the "Last Castle Rock Story" with NEEDFUL THINGS. When a genial elderly shop owner opens a new store in the fictional Maine town of Castle Rock, he sells people trinkets that are treasured beyond measure, for a very small price. But the price may prove to be far more destructive than anyone could have imagined.
Our conversation tackles the text of the original book, and the film adaptation from 1993 (in both its theatrical version and the extended 3-hour television cut). We explore the ways this concept is strikingly prescient 30 years later and what it costs us to continue to pursue what we lack at a cost that is not counted.
