About this listen
In this episode, we climb aboard Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-ho’s claustrophobic masterpiece that compresses an entire society into a single, unending train. From the cramped tail section to the decadent front cars, the film becomes a ruthless microcosm of class, power, and survival—an ecosystem where every compartment exposes another uncomfortable truth about how we live now.
Often overlooked on release and later rediscovered as a cult gem, Snowpiercer has only grown more relevant in a world shaped by inequality, climate anxiety, and systems that demand obedience to maintain order. We unpack why this hidden cinematic treasure still resonates today, how its worldbuilding reflects our own fractured society, and what its brutal revolution says about the limits of change.
Join us as we explore the film’s haunting symbolism, sharp social commentary, and lasting legacy—because on this train, everyone has a place… until they don’t.
