WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S WHAT IT WANTS?? WHY IS THE NEXT EPISODE TITLED "PARTING"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Rurrie

So glad to hear more about the real Elias!

Rebecca Dupont

Me: listening TMA: Here's your two greatest fears all in one 20 minute episode. Me: Terrified but compelled to listen.

Heather MacKenzie

I forgot the term "rest in peace", so I thought "may you finally die" was an adequate substitute LMAO

Eben Taylor

I've wanted an Elias(not Jonah) statement ever since I realized that they weren't the same person. The only downside is that we didn't get to hear Ben voice acting as old/original Elias, and since I've been binging Stellar Firma, I KNOW he has the range to do it well. This was absolutely incredible. The tradgedy of it all... I've grown very attached to this man who has been dead for over 20 years, but I hope he's hotboxing it up in heaven. May you finally die.

Eben Taylor

Excellent episode! The eye Leitner was horrifying, and loved hearing Elias lore. The sound design was fantastic

Alexandra DeCarlo

Poor Allan, I think an M. R. James story happened to him. N.B. I say this as a compliment to Jonny's writing and acknowledgement of the homage I imagine is being paid.

ontologicallyunjust

No thank you! No thank you! No thank you!!!!!

gojo fujoshi

Huh, that's interesting- I've found this season to be one of the most dynamic and unusual. Still, everyone feels differently, so for sure cancel if you're no longer enjoying it x

gojo fujoshi

Oh I LOVED this. Gonna be unsettled for a while. Guess I'll just have to listen again! :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SUCH A GOOD EPISODE

silverarsonist

Phenomenal stuff. Love it, so much to think about after each episode. And such a chilling ending!

Lurkin

I couldn't have asked for a better episode. my goodness.. may be one of my absolute favorites. The building sense of dread. So good. I can't believe we still have 7 more episodes

Jack Anderson

the elias lore!!! finally!! and another leitner about the eye too <3 it's so rare to actually hear about artifacts regarding the ceaseless watcher.

jelmarose

I feel like I'm going crazy. I've binged seasons 1-4 about 3 times, loving (almost) every episode. But this season just... lost that spark for me? This formula has just been so repetitive and drawn out this season, that I just can't really bring myself to care anymore. I'm actually just going to cancel my subscription after this.

Justin Armijo

gives og elias a lil kiss

avem

That was a great episode. Amazing sound design, beautiful performances from Ben and Jonny, and of course Jonny's intelligent, nuanced writing.

E C Marlowe

An audible “ARRRGGGHHHHH” could probably be heard by my family after finishing this episode, amazing as always!!! Thank you guys!!

Lizzy Mowles

THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD?? GENUINELY UNSETTLING & emotionally taxing.. that ending... oh god

Jorgia

THIS IS SO GOOD??? HELLO?!

Lindsey Bradford

Truly incredible episode. Just stunning. Anyways, Rusty Quill is getting the bill for my therapy

Maddie

I want to print out the transcript of this episode and eat it, this was so so good

K ?

Might be my whole favorite episode out of 193 episodes. So genuinely unsettling. The acting?? Gr8! The writing?? Top tier. The sound design?? Killed me physically. Love this podcast!

Hot Drinks

I'm trying so hard to contain myself since I'm listening at work but "WHAT?! WHAT?! AHHHHH!!!!!"

BuriedInTheArchives

Absolutely brilliant!!! I’ve wanted some solid elias lore for ages but with how much is happening I wasn’t getting my hopes up, but this was everything I could have hoped for and more!! The voice acting? The web foreshadowing and the eye symbolism? Absolutely fantastic

Jess Fisher

AAAAAAAAAAAAA im so excited i just started the ep & i saw it was about elias & im losing it already

Jorgia

i have to scream. i simply must scream. aHHHHHHHHH.

Dean J. Smith

OH DEAR GOD

Elijah Harper

Hey, just to say thank you for this, I don't think I would have been able to listen without solid knowledge of when to skip

Casper Muir

🙈🙈🙈

jenni from the block

cw for retching starts at 8:56 and ends at 9:20! after jon says "feels slippery beneath his fingers"

Weenie hut jr

Rebecca Klecan

Holy shit.

That was incredible. I was glad to find out that I probably wouldn't have liked Elias Classic, but still ended up feeling sorry for him.

Emmett Maguire

This was amazing!

Aberdonia

sAZAndorable

Amazing episode. Wow

Harley_treefrog

OH MY GOD

Juls SK Vernet

Oh my such an intense episode. This was so good and Elias’ back story as well.

twigletsaregreattoeat

AHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE!!! That was some quality horror! Lovely to get that after the more relaxing eps in the tunnels etc. The voice acting for Allan's bits was especially heartrending and chilling. the whole "it saw me bit" was great. also the web stuff was very concerning and helped build up the dread. also LOVED getting that Original Elias backstory. Perfectly fitting and horrifying.

ThirdFromTheLeft

Oh dear god... If possible, the plot thickens even more!! I’m already beyond excited for the next episode! Thank you, RQ!

Eli Labat-Angstadt

Oh my gosh! Elias lore! Elias lore!!!
