“Passengers, this is not a shoe. This is disorder. This is size ten chaos.” It’s the dance of the dueling snow trains! On this special holiday episode, tail-sectioners, Sophie and Caitlin, board the merry dystopian trains of both the children’s stop-motion fantasy, The Polar Express (2004) and Bong Joon-Ho’s surreal masterpiece, Snowpiercer (2013). All you have to do is believe (in overthrowing the bourgeoisie!) This podcast will be voiced exclusively by Tom Hanks.

We want to be very clear: The Polar Express is a prequel to Snowpiercer. They are the same train.
