In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2013 film Evil Dead. (Apologies for weird background noises!)
Episode Highlights: We argue that, while the blood rain scene is admittedly rather amazing, this newest edition to the franchise lacks the essence of what makes the original Evil Dead films so magical. Looking at some key moments where the film seems rather disjointed as well as moments where the film offers real potential, we talk about how the film feels strangely sanitized and hollow...especially compared to the rough charm of the original.
A Dose of Scholarship: Elaine Scarry, in addition to having the perfect horror name, has written a phenomenal book called Body in Pain that explores the powerful relationship between pain and how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
