Go big or go home. Well this week, we're doing both as we bring the one and only GODZILLA MINUS ONE home to the Fear of God Podcast. This film absolutely swept the global imagination, becoming nearly unanimously praised for its thoughtful humanity, eye-popping (and Oscar winning) visual effects, and its rich, classical storytelling. We invited a bunch of guests, including returning friends Steven Beckley, Blake Collier, and Chris Clark along with first-time guest, author Kevin Cooney, to discuss the film's powerful, inspiring, terrifying, and deeply moving ideas.

We think you're gonna love this one. Check out this incredible film and we hope you enjoy our conversation!

In a somewhat rare opportunity for us, we are covering a film this week that was just released LAST week. NEW LIFE is an unexpectedly thoughtful and moving film about two women in a cat and mouse chase across the country. Jessica (Hayley Erin) is on the run while Elsa (Sonya Walger) is pursuing her. The stakes and details of the chase are revealed later in the film (to devastating effect) but along the way is a journey of discovery, loss, meaning, tragedy, and hope. The film is intimate and surprisingly profound. We're thrilled to be able to discuss it today and hope you all enjoy our conversation as much as we enjoyed having it!

Also featured in this episode is a new segment called FoG Your Consideration where we'll mention other films that should be on your radar. Hope you enjoy!

Have we got a fun episode for you this week! SHADOW IN THE CLOUD from 2020 is part claustrophobic radio play, part creature-feature, part war movie, and part absolutely bananas-bonkers action fantasy. Chloe Grace-Moretz stars as a WWII gunner who boards a plane under top secret orders with some top secret cargo, only to discover mid-flight that the plane is under attack from a malevolent creature. We're joined this week by Vera Goudie, Jess Fischli, and Jocee Worley for a very lively debate about the film's merit, its message, and its manic, absurdist energy. Our individual opinions vary wildly on this film, but also guide us into a thoughtful reflection on the spectrum of perspectives in all walks of life, and provides a fascinating opportunity to make room for approaches and responses that differ greatly from our own.

Also featuring a Patron-Only Whatcha segment, we hope you enjoy hearing this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.

Please note -- this conversation features a good bit of salty language. And also a fun little blooper after the credits.
