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...
Send us a text A fortified hospital, a flickering power grid, and a psych ward that plays tricks on your head—this gauntlet throws everything at us and then some. We set a single objective—reach the roof for extraction—and make a series of messy, decisive moves to get there: a salt “oval” for confidence, a tarp that doubles as a map and gear hauler, a compass that turns into crowd bait, and just enough tiger spray to open lanes when the stairwells close in. The psych ward forces us to solve ...
Send us a text A mall under siege, a rooftop helicopter you might miss, a silverback gorilla staring down a crowd, a farmhouse whispering your name, and a lifeboat that turns a tarp into a lifeline this one takes our Season Five highlights and turns them into a tactical survival game. We put our own debates on trial: Did the survivors in Dawn of the Dead wait too long to claim the roof? Is human coordination the underrated superpower in any “100 vs 1” scenario? Can composure be a stronger exo...
Send us a text A sealed lab, a tank of pink mist, and a hidden elevator to a place no one should see—our run-and-gun infiltration turns into a sprint against a one-hour countdown to total immolation. We gear up with scavenged Kevlar, swap weapons under stress, and bluff our way into sub-level three to confront the elusive Dr. Thorpe. Behind hastily closed blinds, his chilling reveal rewrites the rules: the threat isn’t airborne or bite-based. It’s a biocataclysm nicknamed “the rust” that hija...

Welcome back to the terrifying continuation of "Code Black," where we pick up right after our survivors escaped their initial operating room horror. Armed with nothing but an IV stand and a security guard's baton, they now face a hospital transformed into a labyrinth of death and mystery. What started as ...

In this episode, we put our communication abilities to the test with our survival-themed guessing game "1 to 100," where players must identify crucial survival items through a series of clues. Think of it as "hot and cold" with life-or-death stakes. One person thinks of a survival item or concept, while others guess words and receive a numerical rating from 1-100. The higher the numb...
