“The Fear of God vicariously allows me to participate in Reed and Nathan’s obviously deep and mutually-appreciated friendship. Their voices have become familiar companions that always make me smile, regularly make me laugh, sometimes make me think deeply, and occasionally make me cry.”

— criesforgod, iTunes review

An ‘archives’ page may seem an odd place for the above quote. But the reason is pretty straightforward. While ostensibly The Fear of God is a podcast “reviewing” horror films and the like, that’s really just the decor. Ghastly though it may be, it isn’t the bleeding, beating heart of the show. What poses as a review pod is really the audio documentation of a friendship, with twists and turns and evolutions like any dynamic relationship. Thus, while below is listed the content of our episodes alphabetically - and if picking and choosing is your method of choice, we won’t blame you - but the best value for your time invested is likely just starting from the chronological beginning. (P.S., For additional ways to sort and filter our film-related content, check out our Episode List at Letterboxd.)
