Will You Survive... The Podcast

Send us a Text Message. Ever wonder how you'd fare in a real-world pandemic, like the ones in films? Join us, Alex, Erik, and TJ, as we take a detour from zombie lore to dissect the harrowing Korean movie "The Flu." We're breaking down the gripping performances and discussing Ma Dong-Seok's incredible range as an actor, from his roles in "Train to Busan" to "Eternals." More than a review, we’re exploring the survival tactics depicted in the film and sharing our chuckles over the sometimes over-the-top heroics. Let's get real about pandemic preparedness and responses—this isn't just movie magic. We're sharing firsthand how cultures differ in crisis, like South Korea's unique challenges seen in "Flu," and comparing them to our personal anecdotes from the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll hear our take on the controversial choices characters make, the societal behaviors under duress, and the odd places you might find essential supplies. Plus, we'll tackle that one scene in the film that's bound to get everyone talking, without spoiling the plot, of course. Ending on a note as serious as the topic itself, we delve into the dark past of sanatoriums and relate the difficult decisions they faced to those in "Flu." We're not shying away from the tough discussions—government actions, leadership in crisis, and the complex nature of high-stress decision-making. And for those survival enthusiasts, we've curated something special on Pinterest—gear recommendations that could make all the difference in an emergency. Tune in for a conversation that's as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, and who knows, you might just come away more prepared for whatever the world throws our way.

Send us a Text Message. Ever been caught between a chuckle and a shiver while sipping vodka and contemplating a zombie apocalypse? That's where we find ourselves this episode, blending humor with a dash of horror as we debate the virtues and vices of the 2015 film "Resort." Alongside our new co-host, we crack open the ethical can of worms that zombie narratives often present, weighing the impact of survival violence on the human psyche while considering the questionable allure of zombie-themed souvenirs. Our conversation veers into the realm of cinematic survival tactics, where we share our potentially questionable plans for outsmarting the undead. Ponder with us the merits of a strategic retreat versus a heroic last stand, and whether disguising oneself as a shrubbery might be more effective than wielding a shotgun. And of course, we couldn't resist veering into the gaming world with a nod to Fallout's wasteland wanderings, juxtaposing our digital derring-do with real-world ghost hunting aspirations. The episode rounds off with a heart-to-heart about the oddities of celebrity dislikes and how they can shape our movie-watching preferences. Discover why my wife's penchant for certain actors sends my judgment into a tailspin, and how personal taste can defy popular opinion. Through it all, our co-host ensures that every twist in the conversation is met with a mix of insight and irreverence, making for a podcast that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. So, grab your preferred beverage and join us for a session that's sure to leave you with your own opinions on zombie ethics, survival strategies, and the occasional Hollywood heartthrob.
