Will You Survive... The Podcast

Will You Survive "The Book of Eli" 03.07.2026 1t 2min

Send us Fan Mail A post-apocalyptic wasteland is scary enough. Add a locked Bible that everyone wants, and suddenly you’re not just fighting for water and food, you’re fighting over meaning and power. We put The Book of Eli (2010) under the microscope and ask the survival question that sits under every scene: what actually keeps you alive when society collapses, skill, faith, or pure luck? We talk about Eli’s “walk by faith, not by sight” mindset and why it lands as both spiritual theme and ...

Will You Survive "Iron lung" 26.06.2026 1t 31min

Send us Fan Mail A man gets sealed inside a rusted coffin of steel and lowered into an ocean of human blood. The radio tells him it’s a mission, but every new instruction feels like another layer of the sentence. We watched Markiplier’s Iron Lung and then went line by line through the details that make it hit so hard: the Quiet Rapture lore, the uneasy silence, and the constant fear that the only “help” he has is lying to him. We talk about why the movie feels so “video game” in the be...

WYS Who Wants to Be a Gajillionaire? 19.06.2026 1t 7min

Send us Fan Mail You can learn a lot about survival by watching people make the worst possible choices under pressure, so we decided to turn that chaos into a game. We’re playing “Who Wants To Be A Gajillionaire,” a trivia showdown built from the horror movies we’ve covered and the preparedness lessons we can’t stop arguing about. It’s part game show, part horror movie survival guide, and part excuse to roast each other for missing details we “definitely knew.” We bounce from 28 Days Later a...

Will You Survive "Greenland" part 2 12.06.2026 40min

Send us Fan Mail Nine months underground sounds survivable until you ask the only question that matters: what kind of world are you walking into when the door opens? We take the disaster movie Greenland and stress-test it like a real survival scenario, from the physics of comet impacts to the human behavior that makes everything worse. Along the way, we call out the little details movies reuse to sell danger, including that familiar atmospheric entry shockwave sound and the Wilhelm scream hid...

Will You Survive "Greenland" part 1 05.06.2026 42min

Send us Fan Mail The comet is terrifying, but the part that sticks with us is what people do when they think the clock hit zero. We take on Greenland as a surprisingly grounded disaster movie and use it as a survival thought experiment: how fast normal life collapses, how quickly “help” turns into risk, and why a family plan matters more than any heroic speech. We talk through the movie’s big choices and its small details, from the government’s public messaging to the ugly incentives that sh...

Will You Survive "As Above So Below " pt 2 29.05.2026 39min

Send us Fan Mail Deep sea “monsters,” pirate legends, and outer space physics somehow belong in the same conversation and we prove it. We start with a weirdly mind-blowing fact that messes with your mental image of the anglerfish, then spiral into why the ocean still fuels sea monster folklore. From oarfish “sea serpent” sightings to kraken-style stories, we unpack how real animals, bad visibility, and exhausted sailors can turn a normal event into a lifelong bar story. Then we leave the wat...

Will You Survive "As Above So Below " pt 1 22.05.2026 40min

Send us Fan Mail Paris has a world beneath it that most people never see, and As Above So Below turns that fact into a horror movie that feels uncomfortably plausible. We talk through why this 2014 found footage cult favorite still works, from its clean adventure-style opening to the moment the catacombs stop being a setting and start acting like a judge. If you’ve ever searched for an As Above So Below explanation, a Paris catacombs horror movie review, or a breakdown of “what the ending mea...

WYS Yap Sesh 15.05.2026 37min

Send us Fan Mail We bounce from a ridiculous cold open into a full-on Resident Evil lore spiral that tries to connect mold horror to classic Umbrella virus canon. We debate what counts as canon, why the timeline feels messy, and why the franchise stays fun even when it makes no sense. • forgetting a basic word and spiraling into filler talk • joking about “porn accessories” before a cat interruption • untangling Resident Evil 5 through Resident Evil 8 numbering • expla...

Will You Survive "The Tunnel" 08.05.2026 55min

Send us Fan Mail A horror movie that can’t decide what it wants to be can still be a fun ride, but it’s going to make us argue. We watch The Tunnel (2011), the Australian found footage horror that also leans hard into a mockumentary style, and we immediately clash on the rating: Alex plants a flag in B tier while TJ and Eric push it down toward the C range. We break down what works and what doesn’t: the creepy underground setting, the feeling of trespassing somewhere you shouldn’t be, and th...

Plastic Bags, Neck Pillows, And Other Terrible Survival Plans 01.05.2026 1t 3min

Send us Fan Mail AI isn’t “coming” to media, it’s already running the floor. After a huge week at NAB in Las Vegas, we come back with one big question: what happens when the most powerful tools in broadcasting and content creation move faster than the rules meant to keep people safe? We talk about AI in broadcasting workflows, the uneasy vibe around hacking, and why regulation always seems a few years behind reality. Then we pivot to the real “will you survive” angle: crowds. Festivals...

Will You Survive Our Fifth Tier List pt 2 24.04.2026 52min

Send us Fan Mail We finish a massive survival movie tier list and argue our way through what deserves Iconic status versus what belongs in dog water. Along the way, we lock in our favorites, roast our “FX movies,” and end the season with a winner and a stack of new picks for next time. • debating A Quiet Place spin-offs and memory gaps • locking in top-tier zombie movies led by Train To Busan • ranking “black movies” and praising originality and suspense • building a “...

Will You Survive Our Fifth Tier List 17.04.2026 54min

Send us Fan Mail 83 movies. One season finale. A tier list big enough to start fights. We sit down to rank every survival, horror, and zombie title we’ve covered so far, and the real debate hits fast: are we scoring “best movie,” or are we scoring “most iconic”? Because those are not the same thing. From game adaptations that shaped a generation of fans to classics that basically wrote the rules for the genre, we sort movies into tiers based on craft, vibes, and the moments that never leave ...

Will You Survive REMIX: #Alive 10.04.2026 56min

Send us Fan Mail Wrong answers only, and we mean it. We take the zombie movie Hashtag Alive and turn its biggest survival moments into a rapid-fire improv game where the goal is to give the worst possible advice and somehow make it funnier than the last round. We start at the outbreak: screaming neighbors, cannibal headlines, and that split second where panic makes people do the dumbest thing imaginable. From there we jump scene to scene, including the injured stranger at the door, the “big ...

Survival Word Association Challenge 4: TJ Edition 03.04.2026 51min

Send us Fan Mail We started the night saying we watched #Alive, a zombie movie that should have been an easy conversation starter. Then we did what we always do: immediately derailed into a chaotic survival game and argued like our lives depended on it. Welcome to One To One Hundred, where one of us picks a secret survival item and the rest try to guess it, getting a 1 to 100 “closeness” score that makes perfect sense only to the person holding the answer. What follows is a surprisingly reve...

Will You Survive: Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City 27.03.2026 1t 5min

Send us Fan Mail A Resident Evil movie that actually tries to look like the games sounds like a win on paper, but the real question is whether it feels like Resident Evil when the camera stops lingering on Easter eggs. We break down Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City with the same energy we bring to every survival horror watch: what works, what breaks immersion, and what choices would have landed harder if the story had room to breathe. We get into the big fan debates that make or break ...

Will You Survive REMIX: The Official WYS Zombie pt 2 20.03.2026 41min

Send us Fan Mail You know that moment in a zombie movie where the infected person “turns” and the story stops caring about what it feels like inside their head? We go the opposite direction and design a parasite zombie where the scariest phase happens before the body looks undead. Our monster doesn’t just bite. It hunts for the adrenal glands, manipulates stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, and pushes the host into a fight-or-flight spiral that can turn violent while they’re still a...

Will You Survive REMIX: The Official WYS Zombie pt 1 13.03.2026 40min

Send us Fan Mail 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 ...

Will You Survive: AI Horror Bonanza 06.03.2026 57min

Send us Fan Mail 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 sw...

Will You Survive REMIX: Train To Busan 27.02.2026 1t 14min

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Will You Survive "We Bury The Dead" pt 2 20.02.2026 43min

Send us Fan Mail 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 ve...
