Was a very casual fan of the Dark Universe as of a few months ago, super excited to get in on the ground floor of the Pod Universe saga. Very entertaining and fun to listen to, and super inspiring as a fellow screenwriter. Can’t wait for more!
"Just search for 'Are You Afraid of the Dark Universe'" for the old episodes they say. They are liars. There is no such feed anywhere, everything just redirects to this thing. I don't care if the quality of these episodes are likely the same, I HATE that I can no longer listen to the older episodes.
Got super into this for a minute. Really disappointed that I’ll never know what happens in “Hell on Earth” because it’s no longer on the podcast feed. The whole conclusion to the dark universe just isn’t available anymore. The Fred jumps straight from mystery men to the premiere of the newest season. Before people accuse me of being stupid, I know it’s on YouTube. My phone battery can’t handle podcasts on YouTube.
An incredible look at the practice of storytelling through film, and an equally incredible story over all! Definitely recommend
A must-listen for people who love storytelling and movies. Fantastic, engaging stories that go from exciting to terrifying to hilarious. Hosts Dylan and Dalton are talented and endearing and it's refreshing hearing them being so supportive of each other and work together so well. One of my very favorites.
