Send a text Game shows and survival might seem like an unlikely pairing, but in this special birthday episode for Erik, we combine competitive trivia with life-saving knowledge in our revival of "Geopardy" (with a G, not a J—we're very particular about that). Armed with buzzers and quick reflexes, TJ and Erik face off across six challenging categories: Will You Survive the Podcast, Zombie Knowledge, Urban Survival, The Conjuring, Bushcraft Hacks, and Gear You Forgot. The competition quickly ...

Send a text Get ready for a spirited discussion as we rank 13 zombie films from S to F on our carefully curated tier list. We introduce new categories like "Iconic" and "Dog Water," and fiercely debate where movies like "Warm Bodies," "Day Zero," "I Am Legend," and "Hush" should land. Our tier list not only ranks these films but also dives deep into their unique elements, their impact, and what truly makes a zombie movie unforgettable. As we wrap up Season 3, we reflect on our horror movie t...

That's where we find ourselves this episode, blending humor with a dash of horror as we debate the virtues and vices of the 2015 film "Resort."

Send a text You can’t build a good zombie apocalypse without rules, so we start by arguing like nerds with standards. A zombie has to die, come back, and lose agency, otherwise it’s just an infection with better marketing. Once we lock that in, everything gets sharper: speed, transmission, decay, and what “reanimation” even means when the body shouldn’t be able to move. Then we chase the most brutal angle for survival horror: the person is still in there. We talk about the nightmare of consc...
Send a text Ever wondered what happens when AI tries to scare three sleep-deprived hosts who can’t resist breaking character? We put four machine-written horror stories to the test—reading them aloud, acting them out, and grading them with ruthless honesty. From a backyard camera that says “Hello, homeowner” to a silent second floor that refuses to light up, from a circling shark that turns “calm” into “controlled panic” to a polite phone alert about a gravitational anomaly, the night swings ...
Send a text A runaway train, a fractured society, and a father who has to choose what kind of man he’ll be with minutes to spare—Train to Busan still hits like a freight car. We revisit the instant classic and treat it like a survival lab: what actually works on a moving train, what fails fast, and how tiny choices—gloves, light control, a shared plan—change the odds when the doors slide open and everything screams. We start with character: the arc from selfish to selfless, why “big man” ste...
Send a text Start with a misdelivered toy and a retail nightmare, add a barrage of Bad Dragon jokes, and you might expect pure chaos—except the chaos hides sharper questions about taste, ethics, and where creators draw the line. We go from laughing at absurd sponsorship ideas to weighing what it means to attach a show’s identity to adult brands and whether shock value is worth the association. Then we pivot to movies with a double-take: the clean precision of 1917’s one-shot illusion versus ...
Send a text What do you call the dead who come back not to feast, but to finish what life wouldn’t let them complete? We dive into We Bury The Dead and unravel a story that swaps infection rules for ritual, jump scares for the slow press of guilt, and tidy answers for unnerving questions. We start with the spark: an experimental U.S. blast off Tasmania that isn’t nuclear but still shatters a city and scrambles what returns. From there, we track Ava’s mission to find her missing husband, and ...
Send a text What happens when you describe The Martian as a “work retreat gone badly” or The Purge as a “civic exercise with rules that fail”? We turned our survival podcast into a high-stakes guessing game built on outrageously bad synopses of movies we’ve covered—Sinners, The Purge, The Day After Tomorrow, Cast Away, The Martian, Outside, 2012, The Thing, Nope, Cargo, and Warm Bodies—and it got competitive fast. Across the chaos, a clear throughline emerges: survival lives or dies on trust...
Send a text A veiled woman stands in the yard, palms open, blood dripping, and everything feels slightly off—clocks run backward, shadows stretch, and a grieving family can’t trust their senses. We dive into a new psychological horror film that disguises its core as a home-invasion scare, then reveals something far more intimate: how grief can haunt a house from the inside out. We talk through what the movie shows, what it withholds, and why the smartest survival choices fall apart when adren...
Send a text Ever been so late and so fried that your best plan is to turn chaos into a game? We took a missed movie night and spun it into a ruthless one-to-one hundred showdown, where single-word clues and sharp instincts pulled us through a gauntlet of survival films we’ve covered. The rules are simple, the execution is not: say a word, get a score, triangulate the movie. Along the way we collide with Bird Box, Maggie, Hush, 1408, and The Mist.
Send a text Time steals differently when gravity gets involved, and nothing makes that hit harder than the moment Interstellar turns three hours into 23 years. We use that gut punch as a launchpad to explore how stories honor science, why fidelity to source material matters, and where casting can make or break immersion. One minute we’re laughing at New Year slipups, the next we’re arguing over Miller’s ankle-deep ocean, and then we’re knee-deep in light warping at the event horizon. It’s cha...
Send a text Grief can make smart people do dangerous things—and in Bring Her Back, that grief becomes a weapon. We dive headfirst into the film’s guts: a foster mother trying to rebuild her daughter from borrowed parts, a cursed VHS that promises resurrection, and a house rigged with ritual rules that punish hesitation. From the opening red flags to the final breath, we map where survival was still possible and where the choices slammed shut. We unpack the lore behind the “Tari Resurrection ...
Send a text New year shock, old world problems: we kick off 2026 by stress-testing the everyday stuff that somehow feels harder than outrunning a movie monster. From checks versus direct deposit to stores that reject your card at the worst moment, we turn money mishaps and retail rules into survival drills with jokes as our flashlight. It’s a fast tour through bank anxiety, mobile deposits, convenience fees, and the strange house rules of places like Costco and WinCo—plus the backup systems t...
Send a text A quick holiday drop turned into a whirlwind: we start with Merry Christmas chaos, trip over the “three wise men,” detour into reality TV in Utah, and end up interrogating the gap between what looks smart on paper and what actually works in real life. It’s a snack-sized episode that still serves heat—fast jokes, stray facts, and a heartfelt nod to everyone juggling family, faith, and free time this season. We get candid about relationships and the myth of bandwidth: the “cute lev...
