Episode 178: Stay Alive (with Brian Cottington of The Cinema Psychos Show)

The Silver Linings Playlist

Well, it's been two weeks since we've discussed a video game movie, so time to do another one. But this time, there's a twist: if you die in the game, you die for real! That's right, of course we're talking about none other than 2006's Stay Alive, and boy, would we like to find whoever made it and hurt them (not really – that’s just a quote from the movie.) Technically Disney's only slasher, this movie is capital B Bonkers. Insane plot contrivances, absurd character motivations, bizarre fashion choices, and god awful visual effects are enough to put this one up there with some of the worst films we've ever covered. So strap on your arm brace and turn that visor upside down as we discuss the film as well as check in on CanYouStayAlive.com, discovering some incredible fanfiction for the movie, and of course, deducing who the real villain was all along (cough Abigail cough). All of that and a hell of a lot more with special guest Brian Cottington of The Cinema Psychos Show. Let's butter this muffin!
You can check out The Cinema Psychos Show on Apple Podcasts or wherever get your podcasts.
Stay Alive stars Jon Foster, Samaire Armstrong, Frankie Muniz, Jimmi Simpson, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophia Bush, and Adam Goldberg. Directed by William Brent Bell.
