The Raimicast

Our final episode of Season One of The Raimicast continues our great big celebration of Bruce Campbell. We talk about some of our favorite film performances, from his star-making turn as Ash Williams throughout the Evil Dead franchise, to his excellent work in movies like Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-Tep and Josh Becker's Running Time. We also discuss Bruce as a storyteller, covering his published wo...

In our last two episodes of season one of The Raimicast, we pay homage to the man, the myth, the chin, the legend: Bruce Campbell. From his career in front of and behind the camera, to his books and voice work, Bruce has been a mainstay not only in Sam Raimi's movies and productions but in a host of studio and independent films, television programs, video games, and even comic books. In part one o...

Like Waring Hudsucker plummeting towards the sidewalk, we find ourselves nearing the end of Season One of The Raimicast by paying homage to a pair of brothers who launched their careers right around the same time as Sam: Joel and Ethan Coen. We talk about some of their collaborations with Sam, our love of John Goodman, favorite quotes, and standout films in their oeuvre. We may not ever find out w...

And we're back! After a brief pause, The Raimicast returns with a bang to discuss Sam's much-maligned sophomore effort and wacky cross-genre film, Crimewave (1985). And speaking of cross-genres, our very special guest this week is proud childless cat dad, omnivorous film slut, writer, YouTube content creator, podcaster, and the man behind our theme song, Ryan Lieske (Kill Me or Thrill Me!, The Uni...

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...

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...

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...

In this episode, we talk about the early films of the Detroit Mafia, a group of young filmmakers formally known as the Metropolitan Film Group, which included Sam Raimi, Josh Becker, Bruce Campbell, Scott Spiegel, Ted Raimi, Rob Tapert, and many others. Included in the discussion are short films like Holding It, Six Months to Live, and Attack of the Helping Hand, as well as early features like It'...
