The '00s Spider-Man movies might have put Sam Raimi on the map for most filmgoers, but the previous 20 years saw him experimenting in just about every genre. And most Raimi fans agree his greatest work to date is Evil Dead 2, an unexpected horror/comedy that—over the past 35 years—went from underground sensation to the most re-released film in the history of physical media. This week on Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and We Hate Movies' Steven Sajdak as the crew examines this incredibly unique and innovative movie that went on to inspire countless video games. You'll never look at chainsaws the same way again!

Would have been more interesting to hear you talk about the games because those haven't been talked to death on a million other podcasts.

This was terrific, and reignited my interest in the series. There is a 'multiverse' Evil Dead episode of Shudder's Creepshow called 'Public Television of the Dead' where the Necronomicon is brought to Antiques Roadshow (by Ted Raimi!). When the book is read, and the evil is unleashed, the only person that can save them is forced to put down his paintbrushes and pick up a weapon. VERY good!

Evil Dead 2 is loved by electronic music. I’ve heard it sampled over and over again.

I saw Evil Dead The Musical probably ten years ago in Portland and one of my friends I went with bought a white wedding dress from Goodwill to sit in the splash zone.

No spoilers, but Ash vs Evil Dead is excellent and ends appropriately for the character

I'm conflicted! I listen to Retronauts for the video game stuff, but this episode was still really enjoyable.

Freddy vs Jason vs Ash was a six issue comic.
