It's episode 41!
Fortunately, we're not heading back to Crystal Lake! And Jason Vorhees isn't killing teenagers! Unfortunately, someone else is...
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) tells the story of Tommy Jarvis. Now grown up, Tommy is haunted by the ghostly apparition of Jason Vorhees, and the trauma he suffered as a youngster. Whilst staying at a convalescent home for young people with mental health issues, Tommy is thrown back into chaos as the young people around him are picked off... one by one...
We talk about the age old tradition of singing with your partner whilst taking a poo; the single worst twist in all of movie history; and two characters who will be remembered for all of time as the most reprehensibly two-dimensional tropes ever created.
All of which leads to one big question:
How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... We can't wait for Jason to come back...

It's episode 40! Of all the mythical woodland creatures on earth, what could be friendlier than the North American Sasquatch?
Willow Creek (2013) tells the story of a young couple who head into the great American wilderness to make a documentary about a bigfoot sighting. The sighting took place 40 years earlier, but that doesn't stop our heroes from trying to get up close and personal with the elusive 'Bigfoot'.
We talk about the essential practice of taking 'the essentials' on a hiking trip; the best time to propose marriage to someone; and a lively appraisal of bigfoot movies of the past.
All of which leads to one big question:
How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... why don't you get yourself a slice of pie at the f*ck off café?

It's episode 39! Whatever you do... stay in the house!
Coherence (2013) tells the story of a group of friends having a dinner party. The evening starts well enough, but soon descends into terror as a comet passing near the earth appears to have an unusual effect on the evening's proceedings.
If you've seen Coherence, you might be thinking 'I wonder if they're going to do something clever to reflect the form of the film'.
But that would've required a level of planning, and writing, and performance that our brave podmasters quite simply have no energy for.
Instead, we talk about the safety concerns of insulting a spurned lover rather than consoling them; the benefits of a landline (partciularly for accident prone mobile phone owners); and the best way to avoid disposing of a body in a blackhole without falling in yourself.
All of which leads to one big question:
How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... if there are a million different realities, I have slept with your wife in every one of them

A Long Long Time Ago, on a Podcast Far Far Away...
It's episode 38!
Luke Skywalker has vanished.
In his absence, the sinister
FIRST ORDER has risen
from the ashes of the Empire
and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi,
has been destroyed.
This week to celebrate May the 4th, we're suspending the usual How to Survive discussion in favour of discussing the latest Star Wars movie. With one notable exception, the characters all survive the movie, so we're just talking straight Star Wars.
We talk about The Skywalker Family past, present and future; The Star Wars franchise, past, present and future; and just how much money can you make from remaking the most famous movie of all time... all of which leads to one big question:
How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... The Force is strong with you!

It's episode 35! Start your engines. mirror, signal and manoeuvre - it's time for a high speed death chase on the Fury Road! Witness!
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) tells the story of Max... a man who is mad. Max finds himself assisting in a rescue mission. The ringleader of the operation is Imperator Furiosa who is trying to save five women from sexual slavery at the hands of the evil tyrant Immortan Joe. The only problem is, Joe wants the women back, and is willing to chase them to the ends of the earth.
We talk about whether it's easier to survive being sane or mad when surrounded by madness; the benefits of The Highway Code; and the relative merits of being a benevolent dictator instead of a tyrant.
All of which leads to one big question:
How would you survive?
Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... I am awaited in Valhalla!
