INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO PODCAST 🔗
You made it. Welcome.
Strange Country is a podcast about Australian and New Zealand horror. Not as a curiosity. Not as camp. As a body of work that deserves the same serious attention as anything coming out of the US or Europe. More, honestly.
The films are the starting point, not the destination. Each episode uses them as a lens into something bigger. Colonial guilt. Landscape as threat. The fears a country buries in its fiction. The people who shaped what fear looks like down here, past and present.
This corner of world cinema has been ignored for too long. We're here to fix that, and we're really glad you're along for the ride.
