WYS Yap Sesh #3
Send us Fan MailA listener sends a custom Will You Survive decanter as a birthday gift, and that one wholesome moment cracks the door open for pure chaos. We go from prank memories and the shaving-cream “Michelin man” setup to the most important debate of all: which juices actually slap and why cranberry sauce feels like jello pretending to be food. If you’re into comedy podcasts built on real fri
Will You Survive: The Girl with All the Gifts
Send us Fan MailA zombie movie where the scariest part isn’t the bite, it’s the biology. We’re breaking down The Girl With All The Gifts with Alex, Eric and TJ, and the deeper we go, the more this story feels like a survival warning wrapped in horror. The infected aren’t magic monsters. They’re a fungal infection with stages, rules, and one inevitable upgrade that changes everything.We talk throug
Will You Survive: Obsession part 2
Send us Fan MailOne snap. One wish. One relationship that stops being messy and turns outright predatory. We watched Obsession and couldn’t stop circling the same question: if you were handed a “one-wish willow,” would you actually use it, and would you recognize the moment it starts using you back?We break down the movie as a psychological horror story with possession vibes that feel disturbingly
Will You Survive: Obsession
Send us Fan MailOne sentence can ruin a life if it’s spoken to the wrong object. We sit down after watching Obsession and unpack how a seemingly simple wish, “make her love me more than anything,” twists into something way darker than a typical dating horror story. What starts as Bear’s crush on his coworker Nikki turns into a “perfect relationship” that feels less like romance and more like capti
Will You Survive: The Auction
Send us Fan MailYou get trapped in a farmhouse at night. The dead are outside, testing doors and windows, and you cannot safely leave yet. Now you have one tool that feels powerful and dangerous at the same time: $1,000 to spend at a survival auction, bidding blind before we tell you the exact scenario. That is the game, and it gets chaotic fast.We run three scored rounds inspired by Night of the
Will You Survive "Hacksaw Ridge" part 2
Send us Fan MailOne man walks into one of the most horrifying battles of World War II with no gun, no intent to kill, and a promise to himself that he will not leave men behind. That’s the heartbeat of our Hacksaw Ridge conversation, and it’s why Desmond Doss still messes with our heads in the best way.We break down what makes the movie so hard to watch and so impossible to forget: the youth of th
Will You Survive "Hacksaw Ridge" part 1
Send us Fan MailA man walks into World War II without a weapon and somehow becomes the person everyone counts on when the fighting turns into a meat grinder. We sit down with Hacksaw Ridge and trace why Desmond Doss still grabs your attention years later: not because the violence is cinematic, but because his conviction makes every decision feel like it has a moral price tag attached.We talk throu
Tj's Top 100 Movie List Part 3
Send us Fan MailYou ever think you know your friends, then realize you cannot predict their movie taste to save your life? We turn a Top 100 movies list into a wheel-driven guessing game where every spin forces a snap judgment, a mini review, and a number we’ll regret seconds later. The picks bounce across Quentin Tarantino, war movies like 1917, animated comfort watches like WALL-E, zombie chaos,
Tj's Top 100 Movie List Part 2
Send us Fan MailWe’re back on TJ’s Top 100 movie list, and we’re doing it the only way that makes sense for our brains: spinning a wheel, pulling a random title, and immediately putting a number on it like we’re absolutely sure. The catch is we’re guessing TJ’s rankings, not our own, so every pick turns into a mini argument about vibes, rewatches, and the one scene you can’t forget. If you like mo
WYS Yap Sesh #2
Send us Fan MailYou know a conversation is going off the rails when it starts with a fight about how to clap “up and down” and ends with survival prep, wildfire smoke migraines, van life logistics, and a full-blown war over Fahrenheit. That’s exactly what we deliver in this loose, funny yap sesh from Will You Survive, where the jokes are constant but the real-world takeaways sneak up on you.We piv
Tj's Top 100 Movie List Part 1
Send us Fan MailTrying to guess a friend’s Top 100 movies sounds easy until you’re staring at a blank list, a spinning wheel, and a host who refuses to give you clean hints. TJ takes the chair and turns our film chat into a ranking game: the wheel pulls a random movie from his personal Top 100 list, and Eric and Alex have to lock in a number before we move on. The result is part competition, part
Will You Survive "Hidden "
Send us Fan MailThe best horror twist is the one that makes you replay the whole story in your head, and Hidden (2015) earns that kind of second look. We start with a family locked in a bunker for 301 days, listening to “breathers” stomp and hiss above them, rationing food, clinging to routine, and trying to keep their daughter calm when the walls feel like they are closing in. It’s survival horro
Will You Survive "Project Hail Mary"
Send us Fan MailThey wake a man up alone in deep space, point him at a dying star, and call it humanity’s best shot. We have a lot of fun tearing into Project Hail Mary, but the more we talk, the heavier the core question gets: what do you owe the world after the world treats you like equipment?We break down what makes this sci-fi survival movie hit so hard, from the opening amnesia and creeping d
Will You Survive "The Book of Eli"
Send us Fan MailA 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 a
Will You Survive "Iron lung"
Send us Fan MailA 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 “
WYS Who Wants to Be a Gajillionaire?
Send us Fan MailYou 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 excu
Will You Survive "Greenland" part 2
Send us Fan MailNine 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 s
Will You Survive "Greenland" part 1
Send us Fan MailThe 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 choice
Will You Survive "As Above So Below " pt 2
Send us Fan MailDeep 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,
Will You Survive "As Above So Below " pt 1
Send us Fan MailParis 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
WYS Yap Sesh
Send us Fan MailWe 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 interruptio
Will You Survive "The Tunnel"
Send us Fan MailA 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:
Plastic Bags, Neck Pillows, And Other Terrible Survival Plans
Send us Fan MailAI 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 ye
Will You Survive Our Fifth Tier List pt 2
Send us Fan MailWe 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 • ran

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
Will You Survive REMIX: #Alive
Send us Fan MailWrong 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 imagin
Survival Word Association Challenge 4: TJ Edition
Send us Fan MailWe 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
Will You Survive: Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City
Send us Fan MailA 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 land
Will You Survive REMIX: The Official WYS Zombie pt 2
Send us Fan MailYou 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 cortiso
Will You Survive REMIX: The Official WYS Zombie pt 1
Send us Fan MailYou 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 b
Will You Survive: AI Horror Bonanza
Send us Fan MailEver 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 “c
Will You Survive REMIX: Train To Busan
Send us Fan MailA 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
Will You Survive "We Bury The Dead" pt 2
Send us Fan MailStart 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.
Will You Survive "We Bury The Dead" pt 1
Send us Fan MailWhat 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 ci
Survival Guess-Off
Send us Fan MailWhat 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
Will You Survive "The Woman In The Yard"
Send us Fan MailA 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
Survival Word Association Challenge 3: After Hours Edition

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 co
Will You Survive "Interstellar"
Send us Fan MailTime 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 ove
Will You Survive "Bring Her Back": Grief, Demons, And Bad Decisions
Send us Fan MailGrief 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

Our take is candid and unflinching: suspense thrives on restraint, and this story shows how timing c

Send us Fan MailFifty 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 p

From the “let me in” dance to that unnerving song at the stoop, we map how social pr

Send us Fan MailA 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 puppet

We read them aloud, pause to breathe
