Nothing 2 Fear

Well folks, we're glad you could be with us here at the end of all things Nothing 2 Fear - this is our final episode before we embark on indefinite hiatus and travel our separate paths. It's been an amazing run and it's all because of you, our listeners and backers. Thank you.In this one, we overcome the famous trauma of Ari Aster's debut Hereditary, and keep things suitably APOCALYPTIC with our take on John Hillcoat's The Road. Eliza also forgets how words work, and Dave considers his tattoo options.You can keep up with Nothing 2 Fear and all our future endeavours on Facebook and Twitter, or you can email us at nothing2fearpod@gmail.com. And hey, why not chuck a 5-star rating on iTunes for old times' sake?Theme music by the brilliant, generous Kirby Medway. Thanks mate.

Your three best friends are just like you remember them. Yep, nothing different here. Just three normal human friends doing cool human stuff. Like talking about Aussie Netflix zombie flick Cargo and chatting about APOCALYPTIC films like 1978's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. There's a pod pun in all this somewhere. Not to mention swing priests, Spock shakas, impromptu Cher, the perfect flash mob, and the reason why you should always dial before you dig. Hey if this good, pls to do the like/subscribe biz for to give us the happy.  We're on iTunes, Facebook and Twitter, or you can email us at nothing2fearpod@gmail.com. Theme music by the pustulant Kirby Medway.

For one last round before S3, we swam backwards in the sea of time to 2015, when Robert Eggers dropped The VVitch to the confusion of grammatists everywhere. Not content to stay in the realm of high art, we sunk to the depths of 2013, where even greater film magicians were conjuring up the unthinkable (and clearly well-crafted) Sharknado. Oh, and we dragged Netflix and Grill's Michael Drysdale and Applespiel's Nikki Kennedy down with us.We guarantee it's the only place on the net whence is finally elucidated the thin thread connecting 1630s New England to N.W.A.Fling us your missives (and encouragement why not) on Twitter - @nothing2fearpodSmash that thumbs up on Facebook - facebook.com/nothing2fearpodOr forward your doctorate's thesis to nothing2fearpod@gmail.com Theme song by the airborne Kirby Medway.

More good interval content while we warm up for Season 3! While Joe and Eliza swan off to holidays overseas, Dave slums it with some of Eliza's previously vetoed review picks - James Gunn vehicle The Belko Experiment and Edgerton mood piece It Comes At Night. Featuring special guest Nikki Kennedy of Applespiel/Boho Interactive! Are sub-par films just movie mulch? Is there any merit to the mantra "Outwit, Outlast, Outslut?" And what of Rosemary's other children? Find out inside! Want us to vent on your fav/least fav spoopy flix? Send us a synopsis at nothing2fearpod@gmail.com, a tweet at the tweetin' place (@nothing2fearpod), or I dunno a gif or something at facebook.com/nothing2fearpod. Theme song by the late Kirby Medway.
