April and the Extraordinary World

David and Phil take in the sites of Alternate-Reality Europe like the Double Eiffel Towers, Third Class accommodations of a cable car, and a screening of April and the Extraordinary World.  The guys take a look at this criminally-underseen animated film from the mind of legendary cartoonist Jacques Tardi and marvel at the brilliantly realized world building.  They also examine the incredible crossover of the cast’s filmography, the tonal shifts throughout, and why Bob Barker would have major problems with the portrayal of Darwin the Cat.  Please do yourselves a favor and watch this movie, listen to our discussion of it, and help us spread the word.

Synopsis

1941 France is stuck in the Steam Age due to the kidnapping of scientists who would otherwise advance technology.  April, a teenage girl, goes in search of her missing scientist parents while trying to complete their work.

About Station Blue

“Desperate to find meaning in his life, troubled Matthew Leads takes a job as the caretaker of an Antarctic Research Facility. An atmospheric isolation horror following his struggles with mental illness, a broken heart and the suffocating presence of Station Blue.”

Station Blue is an isolation horror Audio Drama Podcast that takes place in Antarctica.

Matthew Leads spends the summer stuck alone in a a remote research station after accepting a questionable job from a U.S. Defense Corporation. There he deals with power outages and storms, regrets from his past, the sealed off second floor and the haunting presence of The Door.

Station Blue explores themes of mental illness, love and isolation. It aims to use storytelling and atmosphere to build horror and suspense as opposed to jump scares and brutal imagery.

It was created by Chad Ellis who pulled from his experiences with long distance backpacking, bipolar disorder and a weird, weird life.

If you like movies like “The Thing”, “Alien”, “Ex Machine”, books like “Fight Club” “Kafka on the Shore”, “The Stranger” or bands like “Brand New”, “Tool”, “Radiohead” Station Blue is for you!
