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."

The Raimicast is hosted by Kristy Jett and Anna Maurya
