Popcorn Culture

Send Help + Survival On Screen
Thursday, 5 February, 2026

After dipping his toes into the MCU, Sam Raimi is back with the genre that made his name - horror (and corresponding squelchiness). In Send Help, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien go head to head, as a mistreated employee and sexist boss respectively, who get stranded on a desert island together, and need to survive, whether by working together, or turning on one another and emerging victorious. We discuss whether this is a worthy entry into the canon of survival movies, before turning our attention to that genre in Take Two, and asking: What are the best depictions of survival, whether in movies or TV?
