Podcast Recommendation: The Fear of God

I like the Fear of God podcast. It's a couple of Christian film buffs discussing products of the horror genre - primarily movies, but they've also done an episode on Poe's poem "The Raven," and I'm pretty sure they're planning on discussing Stephen King books sometimes. CHristians usually balk at the horror genre, but these two guys find ways to tie these stories into their faith walks.

Also, one of the hosts shares a first name with me, which isn't common.

This is their page on More Than One Lesson (a broader film podcast and blog): http://morethanonelesson.com/category/the-fear-of-god/

Here's their iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fear-of-god/id1146991715?mt=2

They've just finished a series on a few M. Night Shyamalan films that have been polarizing, and they did a series on John Carpenter's work last fall. You probably shouldn't listen to any of the episodes about movies you haven't seen, because they spoil things. I've actually discovered a couple of films that I watched just because they were going to talk about them, such as Bill Paxton's Frailty.

Haven't listened to FoG itself but have heard Reed Lackey on its parent podcast More Than One Lesson, and another movie podcast from a couple friends of mine, Feelin' Film. All that to say even though I haven't heard the show specifically, would second your recommendation . BTW yay for another person having seen Frailty - really like that movie!!

Sweet! Gonna check them out for possible inclusion in our links section!

Meanwhile, if you want to hear more blabbing on Frailty, it's one of my favorites!

Always up for listening to you blab.

By the way, I was wrong before. They're not quite done with their Shyamalan series. They've still got The Sixth Sense to cover on their next episode.
