How to Survive

329 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 days ago - ★★★★★ - 100 ratings

'How to Survive' is a film review podcast with a twist. The discussion centres around one key question: 'How would you survive in this movie?'

Each episode centres around one classic movie. Often, they are horror movies, but there are also lots of thrillers, action movies, adventure movies and the occasional romantic drama for good measure.

If you've ever rolled your eyes when the victim goes outside alone; tutted when the killer returns from the dead; or shouted 'DON'T GO IN THERE!', this is the podcast for you.
