Podcast appearances and mentions of Sam Raimi

Josh is joined by Daniel Lima and Gage Eggleston for a double feature. First, they discuss "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" (Beginning-32:06) and how director Nia DaCosta struck a different vibe from Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" from last year, the choice to more prominently feature Jack O'Connell's Jimmy and his gang, Ralph Fiennes continued transformative performance as Dr. Ian Kelson and his develoing relationship with the Alpha Zombie, Samson and much more! Then, they talk all about Sam Raimi's "Send Help" (32:07-End) including Dylan O'Brien and Rache McAdams performances in the lead roles, if it had a sufficient amount of Raimi's trademark gnarly moments, whether the ending struck the right note and much more!

Episode 283 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a review of Spider-Man 3. Tom and Phil Lindsey wrap up the final chapter of director Sam Raimi's original Spider-Man trilogy, starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker alongside Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, and Topher Grace. The episode looks back at the 2007 blockbuster that brought Sandman, Venom, and the New Goblin into the story while pushing Peter Parker to confront the darker side of himself through the alien symbiote. Nearly two decades later, does Spider-Man 3 hold up as the finale to Raimi's trilogy, or is it the franchise's most fascinating misfire? Dive into that and a lot more!

LexG is back with reviews of Maggie Gyllenhaal's divisive The Bride! starring Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley, as well Scream 7, the latest entry in the long-running horror franchise. Plus a few words about Chris Hemsworth in Crime 101, and Sam Raimi's Send Help.

Join Gaius and Jackson as we set the premise, vibe, and emotional throughline of the survival horror thriller, Send Help, and explain why Sam Raimi's signature style plus Damian Shannon and Mark Swift's writing could create a tense, high-stakes world for Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien to inhabit. We dive into Sam Raimi's directing DNA—practical effects, inventive camera work, rapid-fire pacing, and dark humor—and discuss how these tools would reshape suspense, action sequences, and scares in a modern survival setup. We also break down how the writer-team's strengths—tight plotting, character-driven stakes, and twisty reversals—could fuel a lean, relentless thriller. Expect conversations about pacing, tension management, and crafting memorable twists that land with impact. We also shine a light on the pairing of Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien in lead roles: what emotional range they bring to their roles, how their chemistry drives survivor dynamics, and what kind of character arcs maximize suspense and empathy for their characters. This is one episode you want to get stranded with!

Composer-rockstar Danny Elfman invites SCORE into his state-of-the-art studio to discuss a lifetime of continuous innovation, from collecting macabre curiosities for his own inspiration to embarking on new musical pursuits with A$AP Rocky (even performing for the first time on SNL).Why Danny searches for the extremes to express human emotion in music, how a Coachella experiment launched a new phase performing next to bands like Tool and Limp Bizkit, and what's the story behind getting all of those tattoos? Plus, finding the voice for Sam Raimi's acclaimed new film Send Help, the anxious percussions of Gus Van Sant's Dead Man's Wire, and the sweeping romance of Luc Besson's Dracula — all at the same time.Also, the harrowing moment with Oingo Boingo in concert that led to him ripping off his shirt in live shows to jam with fellow musicians, and the supernatural energies he taps into when he enters peak creativity.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader in Los Angeles. Production coordination by Kyle Bales and Bryan Williams. Special thanks to Sydney Worden and Melisa McGregor.

Sam Raimi is BACK — and he brought the blood, gore and laughs! This week on The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and John are joined by returning fan favorite Anastasia Elfman to break down Send Help, the gloriously unhinged, darkly comedic horror film that proves Sam Raimi still has the sickest tricks up his sleeve. We're talking demonic camera moves, Rachel McAdams absolutely losing her mind, the most satisfying workplace revenge scene in recent memory, and enough gore to make Evil Dead fans weep with joy. Is this the Sam Raimi film we've been waiting for since Army of Darkness? We think so. But we want to know what YOU think.

The CINEMA COLLEGE CUSTODIANS are back at it, and this time they saw director Sam Raimi's latest, SEND HELP! No, they're not asking you to "send help" randomly at the end of a sentence - that's the movie's name, SEND HELP! Again, we're not suddenly interjecting to say, "send help"...

We watched Spider-Man (2002) and somehow ended up asking the most important question of all: what beer would Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker actually drink?

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?!?

We begin our sporadic but comprehensive look at the Coen Bros. filmography! This week, EJ talks about their first movie, Blood Simple plus a bonus look at Crimewave, their collaboration with Sam Raimi. We're talking about what major director had the best debut and the sheer lunacy of Crimewave, a movie that is not good but also I love with all my heart.

Not Psycho or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre but a secret third thing. From wiki: "Deranged (also known as Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile)[2] is a 1974 Canadian psychological horror film directed by Alan Ormsby and Jeff Gillen, and starring Roberts Blossom. Its plot, loosely based on the crimes of Ed Gein,[3] follows Ezra Cobb, a middle-aged man in a rural Midwestern community who begins a string of serial murders and grave robberies after the death of his mother Amanda, a religious fanatic who raised him to be a misogynist. The film features a diegetic narration in which newspaper columnist Tom Simms occasionally appears and narrates the events depicted. Though based on Gein, the film's title is misleading since Gein never experimented with necrophilia (although a necrophile is also defined as having "an obsessive fascination with death and corpses.")"Also discussed: Nirvana the Band the Show the Movie, Pillion, Send Help, Sam Raimi, earwax, Letter Kenny, Canada, Bob Clark, and more. NEXT WEEK: Battle Royale (2000)Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/https://www.instagram.com/sister__hyde/Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

For our WAWC, Jen recommends the new Sam Raimi film Send Help, and Noam (probably because he got tired of Jen badgering him to watch more anime) starts watching Hell's Paradise.

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.

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.

It was very different times for Marvel when, in the 1990s, it struck an assortment of deals over screen rights for its characters. For the purposes of this tale, the Incredible Hulk, for whom Universal snapped up the rights. The deal done then continues to have some ramifications now, but the first fruits of it? Ang Lee's 2003 movie Hulk, starring Eric Bana. Arriving the year after Sam Raimi's Spider-man, it turns out there was an early alarm bell that they might have got the tone a little wrong...

2026 has blessed us with a new Sam Raimi original in the form of Send Help, a deserted island survival thriller. Do Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien have what it takes to return Raimi to his roots? After years in the IP game — Oz, Doctor Strange — has the Drag Me to Hell and Evil Dead mastermind retained his horror chops?

The Library of Congress has revealed the latest works to be entered into the National Film Registry. Mike shares what 25 films made the cut and why he is surprised to find that many American classics still have not been added. 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. It’s about a woman and her overbearing boss who 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. Mike shares why he thinks Sam Raimi movies might be misunderstood, why non-horror like Kelsey might enjoy it, why Rachel McAdams stepped away from Hollywood and the Spider-Man 4 movie we were robbed of. In the Trailer Park, Mike breaks down The Devil Wears Prada 2 that offers our first real look at where the characters are now, nearly two decades after “Runway” magazine first ruled their lives.

Sam Raimi's new survival thriller Send Help is more overtly comedic and cartoonishly violent than the other film in this week's pairing of dueling castaway duos, but those qualities are both rooted in complimentary ideas about class, gender, and power. They're also both rooted in a baseline cynicism toward humanity that informs a lot of Raimi's work, as well as our discussion of Send Help, for which we are once again joined by cultural critic and friend of the show Charles Bramesco. Then in Connections we bring 1974's Swept Away back into the discussion to see how its sexual fantasy aligns with Send Help's revenge fantasy, and how both are shaped by these films' desert (or is it deserted?) island setting. Please share your thoughts about Swept Away, Send Help, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. Next Pairing: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights and Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
