This episode, we’re diving into Send Help, the latest film from Sam Raimi that blends survival thriller, dark comedy, and razor-sharp satire.

With Raimi leaning hard into tension, absurdity, and uncomfortable laughs, Send Help asks what happens when workplace hierarchies collapse and who we really are when civilization disappears.Join us on Patreon for early, add free episodes and some extra scary fun!patreon.com/BillandAshTerrorTheater@BATTpod on twitterBillBria@billbriahttps://crookedmarquee.com/author/bill-bria/https://www.slashfilm.com/author/billbria/https://billbria.contently.com/billandashterrortheater@gmail.combillandashterrortheater@instagram.com Ashley@AshleyannCoffin https://www.instagram.com/electrical_ash/You can find more from us and our other shows at https://www.strandedpanda.com/
