Survivor: Interdimensionally Wasted Edition

🛸 WHAT IF YOUR FAVORITE SCI-FI UNIVERSE WASN'T THE ADVENTURE... BUT YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY?This week, Joeba, Ripley, and Zero debate which sci-fi universes they’d actually survive, using each franchise as the basis for comedic discussion and analysis.From the frozen paranoia of The Thing and the terrifying silence of A Quiet Place, to the lightsabers of Star Wars, the xenomorphs of Alien, and the wonderfully questionable decision-making opportunities found throughout Rick and Morty, the crew debates which universes they'd conquer... and which ones would have them dead before the opening credits.Along the way, Zero runs the numbers, Joeba confidently overestimates his survival skills, Ripley prepares for the inevitable, and absolutely no one makes consistently good decisions.Plus:🛰️ Hyperspace Headlines (The Usual)🚨 Laugh Alert: Commercial Chaos🍺 Questionable survival strategies💀 More accidental deaths than we'd like to admitWhether you're a Jedi, a Colonial Marine, a Time Lord, or just someone who'd immediately trip over the first chair they saw, this episode proves one thing:Surviving science fiction is a lot harder than watching it.🛰️ INTERSTELLAR INDEX🌐 TheSlurredKind.com🔗 The Helm (all socials)📧 Send us a hail!
