Faith and the Horror genre may seem to be opposites, but every week Reed and Nathan put them in dialogue together. Join us for conversations about the things that haunt us and the things that heal us, explorations at the intersection between faith and fear, where we examine what scares us, in order to find what saves us.

We hope you're having a safe and fun Halloween this year. As a special little Spooky Season bonus, we decided -- quite on a whim -- to drop in a little bonus chat for you wherein Nathan plays Reed's game known as TAKE FIVE. Take Five is meant to be a kind of primer for a specific category of films, identifying unique and important entries to flesh …

We've reached the penultimate episode of this year's spooky season franchise run. Earlier this year, the Final Destination franchise returned after a decade and a half hiatus with FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES. The sixth installment expands upon the universe of the franchise in ways that add both thematic and narrative weight. It features strong ch…

We're kicking Halloween week off with a special interview we hosted with author Nick Medina about his latest book, THE WHISTLER. Nick writes horror, crime, and mystery fiction that sits at the intersection of social issues alongside Native American folklore. The Whistler, his third novel, centers around Henry, a man who suffers immense tragedy foll…

We're almost to the end of our Spooky Season series where we examine every entry in the Final Destination franchise. The fifth installment was in many ways a reset. It started with fresh characters, tested out some new kill techniques, and even expanded the mythology of the franchise in ways the previous films hadn't. It had other surprises in stor…

The fourth installment in the Final Destination franchise slapped an article at the top of the title, threw some 3-D special effects at the wall, and largely dismissed virtually every sensible aspect of quality filmmaking. It's rescued (barely) by some genuinely memorable death sequences in an otherwise aggressively skippable installment. But we di…

As part of a collegiate course on public speaking, Nathan and Reed were interviewed by professor Noel Manning II about the origins of The Fear of God, its development and change over time, and some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of sustaining a weekly podcast over several years. It was a privilege and delight to speak with Noel, and we would like…

We have another special interview for you for a film that's hitting theaters this weekend (Oct, 3, 2025). BONE LAKE is a sharp, clever, sensual thriller that explores the nature of trust and suspicion in relationships through a sleek and disarming, twist-filled narrative. A couple's vacation at a secluded estate is upended when they're forced to sh…

We continue our date with destiny during this year's spooky season run by examining FINAL DESTINATION 2, the second installment in the franchise of elaborate, menacing deaths. This one ramps up both the cleverness and the humor for a remarkably fun and invigorating sequel that arguably surpasses its predecessor by better understanding the inherent …

We have a very special interview for you today about an upcoming book release that's perfect for The Fear of God spooky season. Friend of the show, professor Brandon Grafius, will release his powerful and thought-provoking book SCARED BY THE BIBLE: THE ROOTS OF HORROR IN SCRIPTURE on October 7th. Those who primarily view the Bible as a testament of…

It's time for SPOOKY SEASON!!! We're continuing a tradition four years running where as we approach October, we make a run through an entire horror franchise. This year, we're dancing with death (the Mack Daddy!) as we encounter each of the FINAL DESTINATION films. We're starting with a Redux episode of the original from 2000, which we'd previously…
