In this Mini Jam, Sebastian Gomez dives into Sam Raimi’s latest directorial effort, Send Help, released on January 30, 2026. We explore how Raimi steps away from the supernatural to deliver a gritty, yet darkly comedic, survival thriller centered on class warfare. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, the film traps a meek employee and her "nepo baby" boss on a deserted island after a plane crash, leading to a brutal and hilarious shift in power dynamics.

Key Discussion Points:

• Raimi’s Genre Return: After Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Raimi returns to the high-tension, dark comedy style seen in Evil Dead 2 and Drag Me to Hell.

• The Dynamic Duo: Rachel McAdams delivers a powerhouse performance as Linda Liddle, evolving from a subdued employee to a survivalist powerhouse—drawing comparisons to Kathy Bates in Misery.

• Class Warfare on an Island: Dylan O'Brien plays the "insufferable boss" Bradley Preston, whose money and status mean nothing in the wild.

• Production Excellence: A look at the technical side, featuring Bill Pope’s cinematography and another stellar score by Danny Elfman.

• Survival or Deception?: Discussing the final act twist regarding Linda’s "survival skills".

Resources Mentioned:

• Triangle of Sadness (2023) – Available on Hulu.

• Misery (1990) – Noted as a key influence on the film’s themes.

Exploramos la icónica banda sonora de Jerry Goldsmith, las muertes creativas (e innovadoras para su época) y la tensión de una investigación que se siente como un misterio trotamundos al estilo de Dan Brown.

In this high-stakes horror showdown, Pablo and Sebastian pit two time-loop slashers against each other: the college-comedy-horror hit Happy Death Day (2017) and the 2025 film adaptation of the hit PlayStation game, Until Dawn. From exploding water to immortal sisters and the mystery of "Who is Bill Murray?", our hosts dissect which movie utilizes the loop best and which one deserves to be deleted from filmmaking history forever.
