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!

    REWIND: Halloween (1978) | 2021

    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".

    SINNERS (2025) | Neck of the Woods

    Vampires. Hoodoo. Juke joints. And Michael B. Jordan playing twins?! We sink our teeth into Sinners (2025)—a Southern Gothic horror full of blood, blues, and bold Black storytelling. It's scary, soulful... and kinda sexy too. Set in 1930s Mississippi, Sinners (2025)  follows twin brothers and WWI vets who return home to open a juke joint for their Black community—only to face an ancient evil masked in charm, blood, and white linen. Join our cult of personality as we dive deep in the Delta and review and analyze Ryan Coogler's Sinners (2025), and see if given the circumstances of the movie, we can survive.
