Send us 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.

Send us 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 us 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 ...
Send us 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 Resurrecti...
Send us 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 system...
Send us 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 ...
Send us a text A smile you can’t trust. A request for a simple bowl of water. And a town that looks away as windows go dark. We dig into Weapons with clear eyes and sharp questions, unpacking why a strong performance and clever structure still falter when the villain steps into the light too soon. Our take is candid and unflinching: suspense thrives on restraint, and this story shows how timing can elevate dread or deflate it. We break down the film’s chaptered perspectives and how they enri...
Send us a text Fifty boys, three miles per hour, and a country that turns suffering into spectacle. We sat down with Stephen King’s The Long Walk and followed the road past rules and warnings into the messy questions beneath: who we become under pressure, what we owe our friends, and whether victory means anything when the system owns the prize. We start with the bones of the story—a near-future police state, televised cruelty, and a “voluntary” contest that looks a lot like a draft. From th...
Send us a text A polite knock. A perfect harmony. A smile that asks, not forces. That’s where this vampire story sinks its teeth: on the threshold where fear becomes a choice. We pick up part two of our centers breakdown and dig into why the smartest bloodsuckers don’t need to break doors—they make you open them. From the “let me in” dance to that unnerving song at the stoop, we map how social pressure, charm, and ritual turn hospitality into horror. We unpack haints, folk beliefs, and the p...
Send us a text A knock at the door, a soft voice asking to be let in We go deep on Sinners, the vampire tale that honors the old rules—no entry without an invite, silver that burns, sunlight that judges—while twisting the myth with a hive link that shares sensation and pain without erasing choice. That thin line between connection and control frames our central question: are these vampires puppets, or corrupted souls still capable of mercy? We dig into the Smokestack twins and Preacher Boy a...
Send us a text What happens when we force our co-hosts to argue the exact opposite of what they believe about Shaun of the Dead? Sparks. We flip the table, press every hot button—humor that lands vs humor that dates, heart that sings vs tone that whiplashes—and let the best case win. We start with the big question: is Edgar Wright’s kinetic style a stroke of comic engineering or noise that undercuts fear? From the record-throwing bit to the Queen-backed bar fight, we pull apart pacing, sound...
Send us a text Three teenagers are taken. A man with 23 personalities holds the key. And somewhere between adrenaline, trauma, and belief, a monster takes shape. We pull Split apart scene by scene to ask the questions the movie dares us to consider: what’s real about Dissociative Identity Disorder, what’s pure cinematic myth, and how should a survivor respond when seconds count. We start with the craft. James McAvoy’s performance is a clinic in subtlety—posture shifts, eye focus, compulsive ...
Send us a text The scariest monsters don’t live in forests; they live in your head, in your hallway, and sometimes under your bed. We dive into two viral Reddit horror stories that turn everyday routines into nerve-grinding fear: a wife who peeks from corners with a grin that won’t blink, and a return‑to‑sender package that arrives with a smell no one forgets. We read them aloud, pause to breathe, and break down why these tales work so brutally well. First, we explore the anatomy of dread in...
Send us a text A ghost that loathes clocks, a sugar daddy who pays well for eerie “favors,” and a Grand Canyon hike that splits a friendship—tonight’s mix blends chills, laughs, and a debate you’ll want to weigh in on. We kick off with a haunted-home confession that reads like a bad roommate story: windows thrown open in the rain, food containers mysteriously unsealed, and antique timepieces dead on arrival. It’s spooky, but it also opens a conversation about how simple sounds—ticks, drips, c...
Send us a text The Rage virus didn’t just come back. It learned how to live with scarcity, built a pecking order, and forced an island of survivors to build a life between tides. We break down 28 Years Later through the lens of survival logic: what the infection still does in seconds, what’s changed about feeding and endurance, and how the “alpha” signals coordination instead of magic powers. The world beyond the water is humming again, but the UK quarantine reshapes everything—culture, rumor...
