Could You Survive The Movies is about marrying science and cinema…a narrative journey that explore the fantastic and the fictional in a real way; presenting scientific information that feels, not only digestible, but exciting. When the video ends, you don’t just feel like you watched a lecture, but an experience. It’s accidental learning.
- Jake Roper


Could You Survive The Movies is a series dedicated to exploring the magic and science of cinema. In each episode, host Jake Roper takes you on an immersive journey into the world of a different movie; blending unscripted scientific exploration with narrative storytelling. From the jungles of Jumanji, to the cramped interior of a DeLorean from Back to the Future, to the vastness of space in Alien, you are transported to an exciting educational cinematic experience filled with mind-blowing experiments like what would happen to you jumped off a rooftop with a fire hose tied around your waist like John McClane? Or what would happen to the streets of Manhattan if a giant sentient humanoid marshmallow were walking down them like in Ghostbusters? Also…what if you crossed streams?
