Our first analysis episode! The second episode of The Fear and Now is an in-depth look at the podcast The Horrors of Dolores Roach from Gimlet Media. Written by Aaron Mark and starring Daphne Rubin-Vega and Bobby Cannavale, this horror fiction podcast represents a radical weaponization of intimate aesthetics that we'll be looking at in comparison to radio drama programs like Lights Out and Suspense. On this episode we're covering cannibalism, audioposition, complicity, white guilt and gentrification.
