Description

It's frustrating isn't it? How can characters of a story consistently succumb to their own incompetence? Is it really that difficult of a situation, or are these characters just ridiculous? Based on our criteria of survivability, can you become the coveted "final girl" (or person)? Join us as we explore our own biases (and invite the community to do the same via polling) to determine if we could survive our favorite movies, games, stories, or whatever we feel like analyzing. In each episode, we explore the levels of danger, determine our skills and resources, and consider emotional stress to create a survivability score. Based on the contents of the story and your own honest evaluation, do YOU think you could survive? Listen and find out!

Okay, Okay.....Hear us out. We've been busy and have not had the time to get new material for y'all. We do have an episode that was exclusive on Patreon that we wanted to share with you though. This was another one of the episodes that we had done for Black History Month in 2021. We hope you enjoy! *Below is the original episode summary from the original release date* Sometimes, the scariest stories are the ones closest to home...Join your hosts Malcolm and Brandon as they discuss the first story in Tales from the Hood (1995), directed by Rusty Cundieff and written by Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott. Join us as we dissect each story within the first anthology of the "Tales from the Hood" series. Part one discusses the first story about police brutality and it's prevalence today. Later parts will be released in future episodes. Tales from the Hood (1995) plays a significant role in cinema history, highlighting the real-life struggles of the African-American community in everyday situations. The director, writers, and cast are predominately African-American and dived into a genre that still lacked African-American representation in the 90's.

Originally titled "Stranger in the Night - Halloween (1978)", this found recording was influenced by the collection of "huhs?" and "whuts?" tallied as we watched our favorite horror and thriller films. "That wasn't even scary" became "I would've survived that, come-on now", and the Z-list phenomenon "Survive: The Podcast" was born. In all of this episode's awkwardness and cringe, our passion project was at its purest form, even if the quality could have been filmed on a Super 8 camera in your mom's basement. Tread menacingly and panaflex your guns (or knives) as we investigate John Carpenter's 1978 culture creating classic and horror movie benchmark, "Halloween".
