The Evil Dead: "The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Terror"
Fake Shemps, Genuine Treasure
The Detroit Mafia & the Super 8 Films
For the Love of Raimi
por Kristy Jett & Anna Maurya
In this episode, we delve into the film that started it all for Sam - The Evil Dead (1981, or 1983, depending on what you count as a premier date). We get down and dirty into the making of the film - which by most accounts was the true grueling experience - as well as the ways Sam brought his unique style of hyper-formalism to the big screen, and the aftermath of the film's release, especially in the United Kingdom with the Video Nasties Scandal. All this while Anna wishes for a recipe for Goody's Chili, and Kristy shares her apologies here for a minor mistake during our TED Talk segment. To quote: "In my excitement to discuss Ted Raimi, I mistakenly attributed him shemping Ash's legs when they were Scotty's legs. I feel great shame and promise to do better."

In our third episode, we welcome Aaron Christensen of Horror 101 with Dr. AC to the show for a discussion on the films that influenced Sam Raimi. From classic Hollywood films like John Huston's Treasure of the Sierra Madre, to everyone's favorite knuckleheads, the Three Stooges, audiences can see how Raimi pays homage to - or sometimes outright steals from - the movies that informed his cinematic sensibilities. We also introduce a couple of new semi-regular segments to The Raimicast: Ted Talk, in honor of everyone's favorite baby brother, Ted Raimi, and The Fake Shemp of the Week, a shout-out to a particularly notable cast member who pulls double-, triple-, or sometimes even quadruple-duty as various characters, voices, or even body parts in Sam's films.

In this very special bonus episode (bonusode?) of The Raimicast, we attempt to briefly talk-therapy our way through spoiler-filled thoughts about Evil Dead Burn (2026, Sébastien Vaniček) but we go a bit off the rails - our full-length conversation covers not only the latest entry into the Evil Dead series but the state of the franchise itself, all while busting wide open our feelings on the horror genre at large. Heads up: we come out swinging a chainsaw on this one!
