Gargoyles debuted in 1994 as part of the Disney Afternoon – a programming block of Disney Animation aimed at children just getting out of school. The series provided complex multi-episode stories with complex characters that was rare for children’s animation. In this episode we take a look back at Gargoyles from a female perspective. We discuss the complexities of the stories and the most impactful moments. We talk about our favorite characters and the phenomenal vocal work that went into them. We also delve into the mythologies and stories that were used as the basis for so much of the series. We end with discussions of Gargoyles in other media and if we’d ever like to see a live-action film version of the series.

In lieu of a five-minute controversy this week we ask what everyone’s favorite Sean Connery appearance is.

This week Rachele, Juliette, Miranda, and Kori join the cast.

80s Movie Soundtracks

Everybody loves 80s movies, right? This week we are joined by author and film historiian John Malahy, whose new book Rewinding the 80s: Cinema Under the Influence of Music Videos, Action Stars, and a Cold War was released October 2025, to talk about the great soundtracks of the decade, from Top Gun, Flashdance, Lost Boys and Gorgio Moroder’s weird new version of Metropolis, to the rise of pop stars Prince, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Danny Elfman as movie stars and film scorers. John talks about the influence of MTV on film (and vice versa) and what made the 80s a special time for film music. 

John’s book makes a great holiday gift for any film buff! Pick up a copy HERE or at your local bookstore!

This week on Earth Station Boo, we explore the dark and devastating world of Things We Lost in the Fire by Mariana Enriquez. This powerful collection of horror short stories mixes supernatural terror with the real horrors of everyday life in Argentina, including political unrest, gendered violence, and poverty.

We discuss how Enriquez uses horror as both social commentary and personal protest. We look at haunted houses, cursed neighborhoods, and women who reclaim their pain through terrifying transformation. These stories do not offer comfort. Instead, they leave us with lingering questions. Which stories disturbed us the most? How does Enriquez blur the line between the horrific and the human? And how does her work stand out in modern horror literature?

Whether you’re already a fan of literary horror or discovering Enriquez for the first time, this episode offers a deep dive into fear, feminism, and fire.

The post We’re going to flaunt our scars | Earth Station Boo appeared first on The ESO Network.

This week on Earth Station Boo, we step into the bright daylight and floral terror of A24’s modern folk-horror film Midsommar. Directed by Ari Aster, this movie blends grief, emotional manipulation, and cult psychology into one of the most unique and disturbing horror stories of the last decade.

We explore Dani’s heartbreaking journey through trauma and codependency. We also look at how her transformation challenges the idea of a traditional final girl. In addition, we break down the film’s chilling rituals, unsettling symbolism, and constant use of daylight to create unease.

Midsommar also works as a horror breakup movie. Because of this, we dive into the role of isolation, cultural distance, and the fear of being a stranger in an unfamiliar place. We also ask an important question: Are the Hårga terrifying villains, or are they an uncomfortable reflection of human need?

Whether you love Midsommar, dislike it, or still don’t know what to feel, join us as we try to unravel the beautiful and haunting horror of this unforgettable film.

This week on Earth Station Boo, we shine a light on one of the most haunting and thought-provoking horror series of the last decade: Midnight Mass by Mike Flanagan. This limited series blends religious horror, emotional storytelling, and unforgettable character arcs, leaving a deep impact on both fans and critics.

We explore the show’s major themes, including faith, grief, addiction, and redemption, and how Flanagan transforms small-town horror into a story that feels both cosmic and deeply personal. From Riley’s tragic path to Erin’s powerful final moments, we break down what makes Midnight Mass such a moving and unsettling experience.

We also take a closer look at Hamish Linklater’s standout performance as Father Paul, the chilling reinterpretation of vampirism as a biblical miracle, and whether this series represents the peak of Flanagan’s evolving horror universe.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Flanaverse or visiting Crockett Island for the first time, this is one episode you won’t want to miss.
