Description

This week the Satirists cover the horribly dystopian reality that is The Polar Express, also known as The Christmas Train to Hell. Listen in to hear their take on this film, covering topics such as the Christmas Panopticon, the North Pole as an Orwellian factory town, the Abduction Conductor, and strange elven holiday rituals reminiscent of Midsommer. Join in as they delve into a world where people are intimidated into group think, where Christmas cheer is enforced, where dissent is not tolerated, and all children are indoctrinated into the cult of Santa. You will also get to hear their answer to the question, What do the train tickets represent? (We also showcase our new holiday music and transitions in this episode, from Zapsplat.com, and by Loyalty Freak Music.)
