Podcast appearances and mentions of Rachel McAdams

Send Help is Sam Raimi in full “fun mode” — gross, funny, mean, and extremely satisfying. On Thumb War, we break down Raimi's return to crowd-pleasing horror, Rachel McAdams' anti-hero arc, Survivor energy, island mind games, and why this movie works so well.

February is a notoriously slow month for film releases, so we took in a couple movies that were released in the past month, Sam Raimi's SEND HELP (2:53), starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien as an employee and her boss playing mind games as they attempt to survive on an island following a plane crash; and THIS IS NOT A TEST (15:20), about a group of high schoolers hunkered down in their school, trying to survive a fast-zombie apocalypse. Over on Patreon, we had you vote on Robert Duvall movies, and you chose FALLING DOWN.

This week, Cam & Dylan break down Send Help, starring chaos magnet Dylan O'Brien, Rachel Mcadams and directed by Sam Raimi. After a plane crash leaves two co-workers stranded on a remote island, survival starts as teamwork… and quickly turns into paranoia, ration fights, and “I don't trust you with the last protein bar” energy. As rescue feels less likely, the real battle becomes psychological — how far would you go to make it out alive? We debate who the real villain is, whether Dylan could actually lead in a crisis, and how long we'd last before completely losing it. Press play. And send help. ️ Wanna ask us something?!?

Thrillers with an insidious carer at the centre. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Send Help (2026) and Misery (1990). We begin by discussing our shared experience of watching Send Help and praising the performances of Rachel McAdams as Linda Liddle and Dylan O'Brien as Bradley Preston. Our conversation jumps between Send Help and Misery, equally praising the performances of Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes and James Caan as Paul Sheldon. The work of Rob Reiner and Sam Raimi as directors is a key part of our enthusiasm, and we compare the films to various other movies, including: Cast Away (2000), Triangle of Sadness (2022), Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), The Shining (1980), Lord of the Flies (1963), The Straight Story (1999) and Elf (2003).

Send Help, Housemaid, and Why Rachel McAdams Should Always Be This Unhinged Bob is joined by fan-favorite guest Brittany Brown—fresh off dominating the Analysis Awards submissions—to break down one of the year's most anticipated releases: Send Help, the latest genre-bending horror-comedy from Sam Raimi. From the electric energy of AMC pre-screenings to Raimi's signature “Three Stooges but make it blood” filmmaking style, the duo dives deep into why Send Help absolutely rips in a theater. Brittany makes the case that no one balances horror and absurdist comedy quite like Raimi, and both hosts rave about the two-hander performances from Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. They unpack: * The joy of watching rich bros get their comeuppance
 * Why Linda might be one of McAdams' funniest roles ever
 * The fine line between survival, manipulation, and straight-up madness
 * And whether anyone in this movie actually deserves saving
 Plus: comparisons to Castaway, Triangle of Sadness, and a little Misery energy for good measure. In the back half of the episode, Bob and Brittany pivot to the twisty domestic thriller The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. They debate: * Does the big reveal actually land?
 * Is the twist stronger on the page than on screen?
 * And is Amanda Seyfried having way more fun than everyone else?
 It's a lively conversation about performance range, horror-comedy rhythm, thriller pacing, and the very specific pleasure of watching morally questionable women take control of the narrative. Two movies. One that rocks. One that… exists.
Press play and decide which island you'd rather be stranded on.

Belated but better late than never: Ticket Stubs officially kicks off 2026 with a double feature of icy, unnerving thrillers. This time around, we pair Otto Preminger's paranoid vanishing act Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965) with David Fincher's bleak, meticulous adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). Across decades and continents, both films ask the same quietly terrifying question: what happens when no one believes you? Join us as we unravel questions of identity, credibility, obsession, and the cold machinery of institutions that would rather look away than look closer. Before the mystery deepens, our Blue Plate Special returns with the usual cinematic smorgasbord. We share thoughts on new releases Send Help and Crime 101, take time to remember the lives and careers of Catherine O'Hara and Bud Cort, and hear Levi's early-stage reflections on diving into David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. We also offer what are almost certainly already-outdated predictions for Super Bowl 60—because what's a new year without at least one confidently incorrect take? Whether you're here for missing children, hackers with dragons tattooed on their backs, or just the comfortable chaos of our opening chatter, we're glad to be starting 2026 with you. As always, please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen! Got thoughts or questions? Email us at huffmanbrothersproductions@gmail.com.

We're continuing Sort Of Romantic Movie Month with The Vow! We discuss a plot that doesn't want to commit to itself, the everlasting charm of Rachel McAdams, and wonder if everyone in this movie is... stupid?   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

Produced and directed by Sam Raimi, Send Help is the survival horror thriller film starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. A woman and her overbearing boss become stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. We break down all things survival skills, island romance, Raimi-isms, and the much anticipated Bruce Campbell cameo.

Sushi dinners with Rachel McAdams on a tropical island? That sounds like heaven to us, so we're not sure what Dylan O'Brien is complaining about in Sam Raimi's new horror comedy, Send Help (2026). On our latest Spooky Tuesday, we're getting to the bottom of it, though, as we revisit our Survivor days, push Teen Wolf on Monica, and break down all that CGI gore. Whether you saw this flick in 4DX 3D or just regular stylez sans piped-in tuna smell, there's no denying that it makes for a fun ride, so join us as we hop on a plane and head out to sea to get our hands dirty.References:Rachel McAdams, Dylan O'Brien, and Sam Raimi Break Down a Survival Scene from 'Send Help'Sam Raimi Gushes About How Stephen King Gave Him His First Chance In The Film BusinessSam Raimi On Putting Rachel McAdams And Dylan O'Brien In Brutal Scenarios For 'Send Help'Dylan O'Brien Goes ROGUE Interviewing Send Help Co-Star Rachel McAdamsMean Girls "One Way or Another"Rugrats The Movie (2000) - One Way Or Another

This week we watched the 2004 romantic drama film The Notebook. Directed by Nick Cassavetes, from a screenplay by Jeremy Leven and Jan Sardi, and based on the 1996 novel by Nicholas Sparks. The film stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a young couple who fall in love in the 1940s. Their story is read from a notebook in the modern day by an elderly man telling the tale to a fellow nursing home resident. Come join us!!

He shares his Top 10 Movies that should be considered in the next class of films. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Send Help starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brian.

They must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it's a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.

Tom Hanks did a movie called “Cast Away” almost 30 years ago where his only “companion” on a remote tropical island was a volleyball named Wilson. Fast forward to now, and in this episode's movie “Send Help”, we're shown two people that are also trapped on a remote tropical island who would've preferred their only “companion” there was a volleyball. Rachel McAdams plays Linda Liddle and Dylan O'Brien plays her corporate boss, Bradley Preston, and they're both trapped in the middle of nowhere after their corporate jet crashes. Linda back in the world was the hard working company employee, but because she's socially awkward, gets passed over for promotions. Bradley is the smarmy, narcissistic, cruel owner of the company, only because he got it handed down to him by his Daddy, the company founder. He treats Linda like dirt even though her work keeps the company afloat. Next thing you know the tables are turned on a remote tropical island, where Linda is the boss and Bradley is the helpless subordinate, because Linda has survival skills and he doesn't. Bradley doesn't like this arrangement one bit, but Linda of course loves it. Even though Linda helps nurse him back to health and provides food and shelter for Bradley, he still is who he is. Also, Linda doesn't ever want to leave this island, and the new power dynamic. This leads to some bloody conflict and chaos. Is it worth going to the theater to see everything that happens? Watch this episode to find out! “Send Help” also stars Dennis Haysbert, Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, Thaneth Warakulnukroh, Emma Raimi, Kristy Best, Francesca Waters and Olivia Sawyer. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

It's been a few years since the feminist MeToo movement took root. Yet it's still going strong, at least it is in the movie industry. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss three different examples of cinematic woman-power. “Send Help,” starring Rachel McAdams is one. “The Housemaid,” starring Amanda Seyfried and Spokane's own Sydney Sweeney, is another. And as a third, they add in “A Private Life,” a French film that stars two-time Oscar winner Jodie Foster.

#SendHelp #SamRaimi #RachelMcAdams #DylanObrien Sam Raimi has always been a solid director that knows his wheelhouse when it comes to his approach on delivering an entertaining movie. Send Help is a black comedy, horror, thriller film that has some surprising and predictable moments. Rachel McAdams steals the movie from the start and gives you a character that you're invested in seeing come out of the situation the film presents. 

Sam Raimi's darkly comedic thriller SEND HELP is a bright spot in the early 2026 movie calendar, and we've got writer and film critic Kristen Lopez with us to discuss it, as well as some of our favorite "Desert Island Movies" -- by which we mean movies set on a remote island, of course.What's GoodAlonso - Super Bowl festivity & foodDrea - Rainbow WoolKristen - good movies in JanuaryKevin - Twilight Zone fundraiser readingITIDICIRON LUNG, YouTube Creator's $3m Indie, Opens #2 at the Box OfficeLake Oswego Theater Loses Rights to Screen ‘Melania' After Marquee JokesMST3K and Rifftrax Plan CrossoverCheck out our "Desert Island Movies" List on LetterboxdStaff PicksDrea - The HousemaidAlonso - Office KillerKristen - PillionKevin - The RuinsRead all about Kristen Lopez at her site or on The Film Maven   Follow us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, or LetterboxdWithKevin AveryDrea ClarkAlonso DuraldeProduced by Marissa FlaxbartSr. Producer Laura Swisher

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt sit down for a delightfully dotty chat with Send Help stars, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, who talk about being directed by Sam Raimi with a paper bag over his head, pretending to know how to play golf, and delivering the greatest line reading of all time. There are no spoilers here, but maybe wait until you've seen Send Help before listening. Either side of that, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Amon Warmann as they use Steven Spielberg's elevation to EGOT status to Mount Rushmore the greatest EGOTs of them all. They also bid a sad farewell to Catherine O'Hara and pore over the pictures of Sam Mendes' Beatles in the news section, while a packed reviews section sees them run their collective critical eye over Send Help, Riz Ahmed's Hamlet, My Father's Shadow, The Chronology Of Water, another Dylan O'Brien movie in Twinless, and 100 Nights Of Hero. Oh, and James may have got a new nickname at last. Enjoy.

Synopsis Send Help stars Rachel McAdams as a frumpy but invaluable office worker over looked for promotion by her asshole entitled boss played by Dylan Obrien When she is invited on a sausage fest work trip, the plane crashes and she and her boss are the only survivors on a tropical island She quickly demonstrates her survival knowledge and the power dynamic between her and her boss shifts. Review of Send Help Send Help has been described as a mix between Misery and Cast Away. I'll agree with that and add that it's also a poor man's version of The Triangle of Sadness. Any way you compare it, this is a crowd pleaser. Sam Raimi returns to the horror genre for the first time since Drag Me to Hell. Though this is more on the thriller side of horror, he brings out a lot of the playful and over the top blood and gore that we are used to. Rachel McAdams largely carries the film with her charisma and screen presence. I'll admit, she's largely the reason for me being excited about seeing the film. Dylan O'brien is serviceable, and properly over the top in portraying an entitled asshole. The script by Damian Shannon and Mark Shift is simple, yet plays with the audience's expectations. It is better than I would expect from the guys that worked together before on the Baywatch Movie, Freddy Vs. Jason, and 2009's Friday the 13th reboot. The character development feels a little undercooked, but is there enough to make their motivations understood. This felt like a movie straight out of the 90's/early 2000s. This brand of mid-budget thriller was a dime a dozen back then, and for some reason has fallen by the wayside. I'm hoping that this film, along with films like The Housemaid will start a resurgence in mid budget date night thrillers. Also something I haven't seen since the 90s/early 2000s is this quality of CGI. It wasn't completely terrible, but is was distracting how overused it was. Many shots of the island and it's design felt like I was looking at an obviously designed video game island (X mountains and all). Also, after seeing PRimate successfully pull of great practical effects with a monkey suit, I wondered why they didn't use a puppet for the boar. They could have achieved the same level of boar gore, but make it less cartoony. The film doesn't plumb the depths of the human psyche or explore every facet of the power dynamics in a survival situation, it prefers to keep it pretty surface level in service of moving quickly with the plot. And in my opinion, it works. I had a really good time, and laughed out loud several times at the humor as well as the exploitative gore that Raimi is the expert at bringing. Score 8/10

In this episode, we review the 2026 comedy horror film directed by Sam Raimi and starring Rachel McAdams, Dylan O’Brien, and Dennis Haysbert, titled Send Help. We discuss whether the film successfully highlights bad workplace culture through horror, and we debate whether the ending made sense or felt disjointed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Almost four years ago, Producer Ben Hosley watched Sam Raimi's "A Simple Plan" and proclaimed that if he'd been in that scenario, everything would have worked out perfectly. With the gleefully satisfying "Send Help," Raimi gives Ben the ending he's always wanted. Join Ben, Griffin, David, and Marie as they chat about the endless likability of Rachel McAdams, the heel turn of Dylan O'Brien, and how the various employees of Blank Check Productions would fare on a deserted island.
