About this episode

The episode discusses the Evil Dead movie franchise and its appeal beyond horror fans.

The Evil Dead movie franchise is near and dear to the hearts of many horror aficionados. And, you do not have to be a horror fan to like the movies. You can like humour, slapstick, comedy, magic realism and surrealism, abstraction, irrationality, and cabins. And woods. And things in the basement. And in the case of Evil Dead Rise, an urban landscape where people like to park woodchippers in parking garages, you know, just in case. You never know, right. Our Halloween episode is our first episode of season 7, our first episode since our Wonder Woman episode, back in the Spring of 2025. Season 7 is our ALL MOVIE season. And what better movie franchise to begin with than the Evil Dead franchise.
