Evil Dead II with John Hodgman
It\u2019s the definitive Sam Raimi film - a \u201csymphony of silly\u201d with a bravura performance from Bruce Campbell, and a prevailing sense of, \u201cthe more gore the merrier!\u201d John Hodgman - who, believe it or not, was Bruce Campbell\u2019s literary agent! - joins us to chat about the magic of \u201cEvil Dead II\u201d and what puts it in the pantheon of \u201csequels that improve upon the original installment.\u201d Also in this episode - we imagine the time when Sam Raimi, the Coens, Frances McDormand, and Holly Hunter were all roommates in Silverlake; a behind the scenes look at the publication of Bruce Campbell\u2019s best-selling memoir \u201cIf Chins Could Kill\u201d; and an unrelated but very involved tangent about the Peanuts comic strip.\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
