 In this episode, Robb Maynard has a triumphant return to the podcast. He brings along the movie Send Help. Marty and Clif give Robb the movie The Quiet Earth to watch.

Clif and Marty welcome special guest Robb Maynard from the Reels of Justice podcast for a double feature connected by one simple premise: how would you survive when everything goes completely sideways?

First is The Quiet Earth, the cult New Zealand sci-fi classic about a man who wakes up to find himself seemingly alone in the world. Clif, Marty and Robb discuss post-apocalyptic loneliness, questionable survival plans, and having the entire planet to yourself.

Then it's on to Send Help. Sam Raimi's darkly funny survival thriller starring Rachel McAdams. What starts as a castaway story quickly turns into a battle of wills, shifting power dynamics, and bad choices. The gang debates who's really in control, who's the villain, and whether anyone should be trusted on a deserted island.

Along the way: Survivor strategy, Bruce Campbell Easter eggs, post-apocalyptic road trips, murderous boars and an alarming amount of discussion about tuna fish sandwiches.
