A few weeks back Cameron had an idea for a new YouTube series but after technical difficulties, nothing more came of it. Until now. Here is the audio from the first episode of Could I Survive..., a show all about what would happen if you dropped a couple of average Joes headfirst into some of the most well-known action movies, horror movies, and more! So consider this a test, check it out, let us know what you think and send us an email with any thoughts, advice, movies you'd like to see future episodes, and anything else that's on your mind. For this first episode Dustin & Cameron test their mettle against Hans Gruber & fight to save Nakatomi Plaza in place of Bruce Willis in "Die Hard" but they can't help but wonder just how far they'd be able to get before issues like squeamishness, fitting in air vents, and fast reflexes would eventually prove to be too much. Thanks for listening, have a good start to the week and stay safe out there. Send us an email: themoviemailbag@gmail.com

Today Dustin & Cameron are headed to the Micmac Burial Ground to talk about the 2019 remake of Stephen King's novel "Pet Sematary" which somehow manages to be ridiculous and extremely intense at the same time.

They also talk about Jud as the ultimate villain of the story who instigates everything despite knowing exactly what would happen and wonder if they could ever go through with burying a loved one in the Pet Sematary despite knowing what would happen.
