Will You Survive... The Podcast

Will You Survive "As Above So Below " pt 1

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2228179/fan_mail/new] 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 means,” we get into the psychological mechanics that make the fear stick. We also dig into character choices that make the descent hit harder, especially Scarlet’s switch between polished, on-camera confidence and the pushy, messy human you see when things go wrong. The catacombs play like a Dante’s Inferno style “personal hell,” where guilt and regret show up as obstacles, and we connect that idea to other stories that treat hell as a loop you build for yourself. Along the way we hit trivia, including how much the real catacombs location adds to the claustrophobic realism, and why a movie can be great even if its tagline is questionable. Then we do what we always do and turn horror into survival talk. We argue about rope climbing technique, energy management, and how exhaustion changes what’s “possible,” plus what claustrophobia does to decision-making when the walls close in. From there, the conversation escalates into pressure nightmares: what vacuum exposure in space can feel like, why deep-sea pressure accidents are so instantly lethal, and how those fears rhyme with the movie’s worst moments. We even end up on ocean mysteries like the Bloop because, honestly, the unknown is the point. If you like horror movie analysis, found footage deep dives, and grounded survival what-ifs, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend who loves scary movies. After you listen, what scene or concept messed with you the most?

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  • explaining why RE7 and RE8 feel disconnected from T virus lore  • breaking down Mother Miranda, mold infection, and control theories  • connecting Oswell E. Spencer to the mold storyline through a single letter  • digging into Resident Evil Requiem details like Grace Ashcroft and Leon’s return  • arguing whether Raccoon City was nuked or hit with a thermobaric strike  • using World War Z to explain thermobaric bomb effects  • reacting to new monster lore and the betrayal of “safe rooms”  • detouring into Welcome To Raccoon City, Zootopia, and Markiplier Smash Or Pass  • ending on Lady Dimitrescu discourse and mod culture

Will You Survive "The Tunnel"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2228179/fan_mail/new] 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 the genuinely unsettling speed and strength of what’s stalking the tunnels. Then we get into the big structural problem, how the mockumentary framing can spoil suspense by hinting at who survives, and how cutting away to “talking head” commentary drains the fear you just built in the dark. If you’re into found footage horror, mockumentary horror, or underground creature features, this is a case study in why format and pacing matter as much as the monster. Because this is Will You Survive, we also pull out one clear real-world takeaway: if you’re panicking in an emergency, delegate the 911 call to someone who can give location and details fast. From there, we spiral into tunnel urban legends, Paris catacombs stories, and the kind of chaotic side quests only a survival movie podcast can justify. Listen, pick a side, and tell us where The Tunnel belongs on your horror movie tier list.

Plastic Bags, Neck Pillows, And Other Terrible Survival Plans

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2228179/fan_mail/new] 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, conventions, concerts, even malls can go from normal to dangerous in minutes when planning fails or panic hits. We pull lessons from infamous event disasters, argue about what people should expect from organizers, and admit how quickly most of us stop thinking like “prepared” adults the moment we’re on a trip and trying to have fun.  Finally, we get practical about travel safety and TSA reality. If you’re flying to a packed event, what can you actually bring that helps in an emergency? We debate the boring answers that work: water, snacks, basic first aid, and a flashlight, plus the simple strategy of buying what you need after security. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, and yes, it derails into internet weirdness and “Humanimals” improv, but the takeaway is real: preparedness has to be portable, legal, and simple.  Subscribe to Will You Survive the Podcast, share this with your most “I’ll figure it out later” friend, and leave a review if you want more scenarios like this. What’s one item you always carry that makes you feel safer in a crowd?
