The Fear of God: A Horror Movie Podcast

This is a different, unique, and special episode. Recently, Reed and Nathan had the rare privilege to spend time with friends they'd previously only known through technology. Six guys gathered together in a California mountain cabin to retreat, recharge, and reflect on life and living it. While there, they sat down for a thoughtful, raw, and honest conversation inspired by Stephen King's book, ON...

Fire up the delta, gas up the chainsaw, and load up the boomstick because the Fear of God this week is getting groovy, baby as we cover the final installments of the Starz original TV series, ASH VS EVIL DEAD. We've been checking in a few episodes at a time, but now we're at the home stretch as we cover the last six episodes of season 3 and unpack a surprisingly hopeful theme amidst all the blood,...

It's time to roll in the hay, make some espresso, and -- of course -- put on the ritz! Because this week's #funnyordie is the iconic Mel Brooks classic: YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN!

What surprised us, however...

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me... so HELP me! It's #funnyordie. It's monsters. It's laughs. It's us, y'all.

What you can expect is laughter, fun, and plenty of good conversation. What you might...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it has finally happened.

Ernest Scared Stupid, that is. That's right, friends and neighbors, this week, the podcast is taking the high ground; we are chucking the Miak at the trolls; we are at ful...

But seriously, we talk about what we've been watching and reading and listening to and spend...

We ain't afraid of no ghosts!

Where's our caaaake???!! We ask this and many other burning questions this week as we dive into the Stephen King and George Romero homage to the legendary EC horror comics, Creepshow!

All this and more on...
