Perdition City Station
Jarad and Julie travel through the theology of the afterlife by train, bus, auto, ferry, and on foot. First stop Perdition City Station, last stop? Who knows?
They will be joined by cats, an occasional guest, ghosts, and a dead guy named Morty who came to hang out one Halloween and never left.
Come for the laughs, stay for the suffering.
This podcast contains some adult language and situations.
Perdition City Station
The Fall of the House of Usher; The Long Dark Shadow of Hell
Julie and Jarad discuss the Netflix series, The Fall of the House of Usher, continuing our exploration of whether justice can be achieved in this lifetime. In this episode, we talk about the set up and framework for the show and note the massive number of Poe references, and where we think the show corresponds with Poe's themes and vibes, and where it might diverge.
Along the way, Jarad admits to past crimes, which surprisingly incriminate Julie as well.
There are spoilers and this show is classified as horror; something to think about before you choose to listen.
