The Station Podcast

Black Christmas (1974) - Home, But Not So Alone

It’s that time of year again. That time where the weather/holiday season leads us to be sequestered with those near and dearest to us.. Well, maybe not those dearest to us.. In this episode we take a look at the Christmas Slasher film Black Christmas (1974) - A cult classic. We take a look at how truly unsettling this time of year can be, and how those closest to us may hide the darkest of intentions. It’s all here: the picturesque family, visits from relatives and Christmas surprises. So, it’s time to get cosy at home with the family.

The Station Podcast - 2021 Film Retrospective

The Station Podcast is little over a year old now! To celebrate this fact, we take a look back over our first year of doing the podcast, to examine our own recurrent themes. Covering pretty much all of the films that we have been going through in this past year - sort of reviving the original concept for the podcast. Post-Modernism, dystopias, nature reclaiming it’s place, odd cats.. It's all here, in one glorious (and perhaps lovecraftian) amalgamation.   So, come join us as we delve into the past year as The Station Podcast.

The Green Knight (2021) - Headstrong and A Gully Of Fern

Moss, degradation and dilapidation. These things are often the product of nature reclaiming its place, and ridding what once was - eminent and gleaming, to rubble and decay. As time often plays a vital hand in nature taking it's toll... This week we look at the 2021 adaptation of the mythic poem - The Green Knight. We examine how these themes come to light within the film. Mortality can often weigh down on us, like being on the executioner's block...

Cat In The Hat (2003) - The Cat That Rocked Pandora's Box

In this month's episode, we take a look at the nightmarish 2003 adaptation of Dr. Seuss's classic children's book - The Cat In The Hat. We examine why this seemingly innocent film is completely freakish and disturbed, and how this potentially could have come about.

Stalker (1979) - The Cinematic Observer Effect

"The Zone is a very complicated system of traps, and they're all deadly. I don't know what's going on here in the absence of people, but the moment someone shows up, everything comes into motion. Old traps disappear and new ones emerge. Safe spots become impassable."
