We have a couple of special bonus interviews for you this weekend on films to check out in your local theater. The first is RABBIT TRAP, a haunting and beautiful film about a musician (Rosy McEwan) and her husband (Dev Patel) who move to a remote house in Wales. When the unconventional music they create disturbs some local, ancient folk magic, they encounter a nameless child (Jade Croot) who comes to them intent on infiltrating their lives.

We sat down with writer and director Bryn Chainey to discuss his lyrical, immersive, and captivating film. From the first few moments of our conversation, you can get a sense for how thoughtful and poetic Bryn is as a storyteller. His film is richly textured, hypnotic, often dreadful, and disarmingly moving. Featuring strong performances, a potent script, and a lush sound design that tells a story within itself, Rabbit Trap is an exciting feature film debut that we highly encourage you to seek out.

We'll hope you'll check it out, in theaters as of September 12, and we hope you enjoy our conversation!

If you listened to our episode yesterday about Total Recall, you also heard an exciting announcement about our latest adventure. Starting in October, we're collaborating with Troubadour Booksellers to present our very first book club: FoGadour.

Once a month, you're invited to the Charlotte, NC area to visit Troubadour Booksellers for a discussion with fellow friends and FoGgers about that month's book. Our lineup begins with Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix, followed by Jesus and John Wayne by Kristen Kobe du Mez for November, Charles Dickens' immortal classic A Christmas Carol in December, and we'll kick off the new year with David Gushee's book Changing Our Minds.

If you're local (or driving distance) from the Charlotte area, we'd love to see you in person. But stay tuned here as well for ways you can join us in a broader internet community as we read and discuss books together. In case you missed yesterday's episode, here's a special presentation telling you all about FoGadour. We hope to see you there!

We get our butts to Mars this week for a conversation about an Arnold Schwarzenegger 90s sci-fi classic. Based on a story by Philip K. Dick, TOTAL RECALL was directed by Paul Verhoeven and features intense visual effects, a complex plotline, and some surprisingly rich thematic concerns. It's also full of bullet-riddled action set pieces and a lot of wry humor.

We're joined this week by Scott Tynes Miller, proprietor of Troubadour Booksellers in Charlotte, NC to discuss the ways memory and reality are intertwined and how they can be manipulated by counterfeits we sometimes willingly embrace.

Also featured on this episode is an upcoming announcement about an official Fear of God Book Club starting next month, partnered with Troubadour Booksellers, that we're very excited to tell you about. It's a hearty and thoughtful episode this week and we really hope you enjoy it!
