Where to Watch The Survivors
- DonkeyFlixJanuary 1, 2026I enjoyed watching a comedy explore "pacifist" vs "militarist" themes and there are some really great jokes sprinkled throughout (the tree cigarette got me good). It's just really slow moving, drawn out, and the plot only moves along because everyone in this world is an idiot.
