Living In Fear

We've finally arrived at the season finale. While we have our criticisms, that doesn’t mean we didn’t enjoy it. We've come to accept that the show and the game are entirely separate mediums and should be appreciated on their own terms. That said, it's hard not to draw comparisons—and while some elements are working well in the show, we think others are falling short. Join us for this f...

We celebrated our Valentine’s Day by watching Companion (2025) in the theater. We dive deeper into romantic movies we love and share how we feel about AI and robots.

I think this one is going to be a fan favorite. We love the games and all the iconic scenes they’ve brought to life here. They really did them justice. While we still don’t know exactly how things will end or how closely they’ll align with the games, join us as we dive into some of the differences. Some of these scenes had me in tears, and we absolutely love the new additions. We just hope the sto...

Today we’re discussing what kinds of endings we prefer in movies; are we looking to be uplifted or faced with a harsh reality? We also throw a curveball and talk about some romantic movies. Of course our main topic at hand, though, is Aterrados (2017), translated as Terrified. After seeing When Evil Lurks (2023) we had to see more by Demian Rugna. This was a previous film of his so we went in with...

We’re back with HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us ! This time, I (Luis) think I liked the episode more than Mia did. We still prefer the games overall, of course, but as always, there were things we really loved. Join us as we dive into the differences between the show and the game, and unpack some of the motivations, character work, and performances, some of which didn’t quite land for us, and o...

Noroi: The Curse (2005) is Luis’s first pick. It’s a found footage style movie so we discuss some of our favorites from the subgenre. We also share some of our worst injuries we’ve ever had. Spoilers for the film mentioned as always, but also be warned our injuries (Luis’s in particular) might make you squirm.

Welcome back to our coverage of The Last of Us . This time, we’re diving deep into the latest episode: Season 2, Episode 4. Our reactions are a bit mixed. There are elements we absolutely loved, and others that didn’t quite land for us. As longtime fans of the games, that might be why we’re hesitant to call this episode perfect. Still, there’s something undeniably powerful and memorable here, some...

Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan teamed up yet again for Sinners (2025) and we are all here for it! We’ve been playing South of Midnight (2025) so this film fits with the southern vibes we’ve been feeling lately. And it’s always the right time for some vampire talk.

Today we’re talking about S2E03 of The Last of Us. After the devastating episode last week, we were eager to learn how things would play out this week. We are huge fans of the games and talk deeply about some of the differences, and some of the new additions. As always, we talk all things spoilers for the episode and will try to do our best not to talk about spoilers for the games. This is a bonus...

Today we’re discussing Until Dawn (2025) based on the popular video game of the same title. We share some of our favorite games in the horror genre, there’s a lot of good ones to choose from! On a more random note, we discuss famous paintings we like, which unsurprisingly involves more horror themes.

Today we’re talking about S2E02 of The Last of Us. Huge spoiler alert for the episode, we will be talking about everything that happened, and indeed crazy things happened. Like last episode, we’ll do our best to not talk about spoilers for the games. This is a bonus, and we’ll be doing one for every episode premiere on Sunday. We can’t wait to talk about a certain moment in the show and the differ...

The Innocents (2021) is the first fully subtitled film we’ve watched for this podcast. It’s a Norwegian film centered on four children, lucky for us the young actors all do a great job. But before getting into it, we discuss favorite actors, gross movies (we’re looking at you, Human Centipede), and Luis learns what a “Final Girl” is.

Today we’re talking about The Last of Us Season 2 premiere. We’re excited as this is one of our favorite stories in video games. We won’t be talking spoilers for the games and will do our best to talk around what is yet to come in season 2. This is a bonus, and we’ll be doing one for every episode premiere on Sunday. We can’t wait to talk about this story, the differences between the show and the...

Today we’re watching and chatting about Speak No Evil (2022). After being bombarded with trailers for the remake, we felt like we had already seen it so decided we’d rather watch the original. And we’re glad we did, though we are now curious how the two differ.

Welcome! This is our first official episode so we’re still figuring this whole thing out but we are so excited to be doing this! Today we’re talking about The Damned (2024). Neither of us even knew this film existed until we saw the poster hanging in a local theater but we were quite intrigued by it. This may not be an obvious choice for a first episode, seeing as hardly anyone is talking about th...
