Sass vs. Evil Dead

In the Michigan state park system, mosquitos are considered especially heinous.  In the suburbs of Detroit, the Vietnam veterans and recent college graduates who investigate them are part of an elite squad known as The Meteorologists. This is their story.

Your hosts are back for a new year of fun, laughs, and yes, Kevin Williamson jokes.In this episode, Brittany and Hallie review a film that Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven definitely didn't plagiarize even a little bit, sing a Total Eclipse of the Heart duet, and wonder why they didn't just go to film school.

After Brittany and Hallie reviewed both Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and Jason X, there was really only one film left to cover. We started from the bottom and were somehow able to get lower, one might say. Digressions include a rousing game of fuck/marry/kill, Brittany's first family holiday where alcohol was allowed, and having maintenance staff who cosplay as Marilyn Manson on work time.

Hallie and Brittany discuss the worst entry into the Friday the 13th franchise, which is saying something. Digressions include the future of Christianity, the merits of knitwear, and freeganism.

It's Halloween and that means you're entitled to one (or maybe more than one) scare-y movie! Your treat this year is a knock down, drag out, retconned fight to see which versions of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers come out on top. Digressions include the teratoma from Malignant, confusing Adam and Alan Arkin, a field of phalluses in the mold of Kevin Williamson, and declaring all out war on Halloween Kills.

In Sass vs. Evil Dead's first-ever double feature, Hallie and Brittany discuss their cover band plans, how someone can get so ripped eating only rats for nine years, and fail at Canadian accents (sorry, Canada). Brittany furiously defends fruit-flavored Tootsie Rolls. 

Join Hallie and Brittany for a discussion about living your best dark academia life, inappropriate student/teacher relationships, and stereotypes about librarians. Big thanks to vintage Tommy Hilfiger for sponsoring this episode.

In a world where Bruce Wayne becomes a sentient tire on a murderous spree through Joshua Tree, everything is both hella meta and absolutely meaningless...you know, like real life. Digressions include taxidermy squirrels and making really sure you get paid your day rate.

Journey to an alternate universe where Sidney sells merch for Detective Kincaid's emo band, Nick Cave doesn't regret his decision to be a part of this movie, and Hallie gets a PhD in Scream Studies.

Hallie and Brittany mainly talk about the soundtrack of 1979's Tourist Trap which has strong Goosebumps meets Scooby Doo vibes, mannequins, and a villain who desperately needed arts funding at his high school.... but mainly it has a good soundtrack. Hail Pinot Grigio! 

Brittany and Hallie discuss "Let's Make Fun of Our Friend with PTSD: The Movie!" Notable moments include a snazzy parody of "I Don't Want to Wait," engagement guns, and Montauk Highway. With a special guest spot for the one and only Dr. Herbert West himself!

In the third installment of Ragin' Nic Cage series, Brittany and Hallie review of the Insidious, The Ring, and Autopsy of Jane Doe crossover film that is somehow even worse than you think it's going to be. Enjoy your co-hosts discussing the correct pronunciation of Samhain, the death of the American dream, and trying their best to have a Gen Z moment, baby!

TW: Transphobia, child abuseKill her, mommy! No, wait, wrong film. In this episode, Hallie and Brittany discuss men who wear short shorts, fighting bullies, and some good old fashioned childhood trauma. We're deeply unsorry to the state of New Jersey.Queer listeners-- you are seen, you are beautiful, and we love you. Fuck this movie.

Brittany tortures Hallie with a French director's imagining of rural Wisconsin. There's family drama, flying Nesquik, mystical boinging, and, eventually, a sex-powered samurai. We also deeply apologize to the people of Wisconsin. 

In the second part of Hallie and Brittany's unofficial head-to-head battle of bad Stephen King films, Hallie recants being a Mick Garris apologist, we imagine what Steve's writing process must have been like, and somehow moldy dildos get mentioned. Also, Brittany sings Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats....cause cat people. 

Strap in for the Stephen King adaptation that reminds you that the 90s might have been even more problematic than the 80s! Brittany and Hallie cover all the bad acting, casual usage of pejorative terms for people groups, and fat shaming you could ever want.

Join us for a slimy trip through James Gunn's directorial debut horror comedy Slither. Hallie and Brittany spend way too long deciding if Nathan Fillion is hot, talking about nondescript southern accents, and using leeches for medicinal purposes. 

This week Hallie and Brittany take an unscripted dive into 1997's  Anaconda. Listen to both of them do bad impressions of John Voight's bad impression of a Paraguayan accent, tracheotomies in the jungle, and serenade you with the dulcet tones of snake screams. 

THEY'RE HERE!!!!!! And by they we mean truly horrendous CGI spiders, Deputy Dewey with a stripper's crotch as facial hair, and at least four very sad attempts at confessing an oddly long lasting crush. Hallie and Brittany talk mostly about conspiracy theories and an undying love for Matt Czuchry. 

Join Hallie and Brittany as they get lost in the Nic Cage rabbit hole with this dark comedy. Honestly, we're still not sure if he's brilliant or insane.

Go on a wild ride with horror's favorite little green bastard in this week's episode featuring limericks, murderous pogo sticks, white feminism, and a grizzled Waffle House waitress who portends Jennifer Aniston's future.Episode transcripts and more content are available now at Sass Vs Evil's new website!

Hallie and Brittany talk about this angsty af werewolf movie...but mainly we talk about how much we hate being uterus owners. Also featured - that armadillo cake from Steel Magnolias.

Trigger/Content Warnings: Discussions of sexual abuse and assault, pedophilia, child abuse. Discussions of potentially triggering subjects occurs between 3:50-12:18.What do Jack Johnson, Pennywise, and Moby Dick all have in common? They somehow work their way into an episode about a movie featuring an Etsy shop owning, hipster cryptid cosplaying other, better cryptids. Can you smell our fear?Hallie and Brittany have their biggest disagreement yet about the status of Jeepers Creepers 2. Is it so bad it's good or is it just plain bad? Listen to find out!You can now find episode transcripts and more content from us at sassvsevil.com!

Brittany and Hallie suffer through the inappropriately named Chopping Mall. We talk about how horrible the 80s were, why capitalism is terrible, kinky sex parties, and how Luigi from The Happening would handle a failing business.

Hallie and Brittany discuss one of the classics in the body horror genre. We discuss Brittany's love of Jeffery Combs as Herbert West (in great detail), community theatre productions of Richard III, how dark the original Lovecraft story is, and egg salad.

This week Hallie and Brittany explore the touching gay romance...I mean...horror movie (?), Witchboard. We discuss unfortunate 80s styling choices, poltergeist pregnancy tests, how Brittany wants to be summoned from the spirit world, the proper pronunciation of Ouija, and the dangers of PROGRESSIVE ENTRAPMENT.

Hallie and Brittany travel to the leafy streets of Springwood, Arizona...erm...Ohio to roast the current inhabitants of 1428 Elm Street. We talk about getting in touch with your emotions, racist cereal, and the evil that is the nuclear family unit. Join us for a merry romp through what is quite possibly the least fun installment of the Nightmare franchise!

Hallie and Brittany discuss Twilight parodies, how it's somehow always the 80s in Iceland according to this movie, Juggalos, creepy Christian cults, and really just a lot of severed members. Also, Brittany really fails at doing an Icelandic accent. Several times.

Hallie and Brittany continue to talk about the wild ride that is Midsommar (which is clearly a comedy and NOT a horror movie). We'll be covering pube pies, what is quite possibly the worst Halloween costume ever, group mourning and moaning, horrible experiences with church revivals in high school, and SATAN.

Hallie and Brittany dive into the remake of the remake of The Wicker Man..erm...I mean Midsommar! We discuss bad flute music, Sweden's tick problem, and some ritual sacrifice, because why not?Head's up--there's a TW for s**cide and emotional abuse on this episode.

Hallie and Brittany talk about M. Night Shyamalan's 2008 film, The Happening, which features a confused Marky Mark, Zoey Deschanel, and lots of math, for some reason.

Hallie and Brittany review the fever dream of a movie, Body Melt, an Australian body horror film from 1993. There's sentient placentas, Australian hillbillies, and exploding erections.
