Show Notes
A tropical island. A terrible boss. And absolutely no HR department. 🏝️🥥
In this spoiler-lite review, Jim takes a look at Send Help (2026), Sam Raimi’s darkly comedic survival thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien. What starts as a workplace nightmare becomes something far more dangerous—and considerably more entertaining—when an overlooked employee and her arrogant boss survive a plane crash together.
Office authority doesn’t count for much when you can’t find lunch.
Jim discusses: ✈️ The movie’s premise, production, box office, and reception 🥥 Why this landed on his “watch while traveling” list—and his “my wife wouldn’t want to watch this” list 🌴 A spoiler-lite setup that protects the surprises 🎭 Rachel McAdams’ terrific performance 😂 Sam Raimi’s wicked blend of suspense, violence, and dark comedy 🔥 Six reasons to watch—and three reasons you might want to skip it 🤔 How the movie keeps complicating who you should root for 🏆 Why Survivor fans may get an extra kick out of this one
