Podcast appearances and mentions of Bruce Campbell

Night of the Creeps (1986) turns 40 this year and we're throwing a birthday party for Fred Dekker's horror comedy romp. How it turned from being a box office flop to a VHS legend, surviving its first disastrous screening, and why it's the quintessential Tom Atkins performance. Plus, Jon and Eric share their take on Bruce Campbell's new movie, his Q&A after, Jason popcorn bucket drama, the Crystal Lake trailer, a Session 9 prequel and all those Widows Bay Emmys.

Melissa donated $5,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis during Donny Fandango's Radiothon earlier this year and decided to spend her 40th birthday with The Rizzuto Show. An incredibly generous decision followed by several questionable ones.In this funny podcast, Melissa officially joins the crew for a morning packed with helicopter horror stories, a massive Powerball winner in Quincy, Rafe finding a new father figure at the hardware store, Halloween decorations getting weird, and Melissa revealing that she casually drives around with a Santa skeleton named Bobert in her back seat.Then we put the birthday girl to work. Melissa gets her first live commercial read for The Iron Grip — an extremely fake and extremely inappropriate adult novelty store — before the show dives headfirst into the legendary Richard Gere gerbil rumor and the journalist who spent SIX YEARS investigating how one of Hollywood's greatest urban legends spread before social media even existed. This funny podcast also tackles Bruce Campbell, celebrity gossip, Cindy Crawford hypotheticals and the important question of whether ten years with her would be worth becoming “Gerbil Boy” for life.Finally, Melissa teams up with Rafe for Do It Bitch, where breakfast foods, ocean-bordering states, soda brands and musical instruments suddenly become impossible when you only have ten seconds to think. Geography betrays Melissa, Lern goes on a heater, and the birthday celebration ends exactly how every $5,000 charitable donation should: with Melissa getting shot in the butt with an airsoft gun.One 40th birthday and absolutely no dignity left behind. It's another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show — and Melissa definitely got the full experience.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Helicopter providing coverage for NBCLA, Telemundo 52 crashes in Los AngelesIllinois winner of $1.04B Powerball lottery jackpot sold in Quincy claims prizeJabberin' Jack pumpkin toy sings racy Halloween song about his "seeds," alarming parentsNew Record of 26000 Items Dropped in Yellowstone GeysersMeta plans camera-free smart glasses for fall launch, The Information reportsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Melissa donated $5,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis through Donny Fandango's Radiothon, chose to spend her 40th birthday hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, and was immediately rewarded with the prestigious broadcasting opportunity every aspiring radio personality dreams about:Reading an endorsement for a fake adult novelty store called The Iron Grip.Welcome to radio, Melissa.Today's funny podcast wastes absolutely no time making our birthday guest regret her generosity. Melissa joins the on-air family, gets drafted onto Rafe's team for Do It Bitch, and is handed what appears to be a legitimate live commercial for a brand-new sponsor in Edwardsville.Except The Iron Grip apparently specializes exclusively in adult products shaped like fists.Big ones. Small ones. Glow-in-the-dark ones.There's a “Heavyweight Champion,” a “Double-Ended Sparring Partner” and, naturally, the Southpaw Special Starter Kit.Melissa powers through the commercial like a professional while everybody else completely loses it, only for Rizz to announce some devastating breaking news immediately afterward:The client canceled.One read and they're gone.Advertising is a brutal business.From there, the show gets considerably more serious as Rafe and Rizz discuss Evil Dead legend Bruce Campbell and his candid comments about his cancer diagnosis.Campbell says doctors have given him a five-year prognosis, but his attitude toward it is about as Bruce Campbell as you'd expect. He plans to keep working, keep pursuing the projects he loves and deal with his health problems as they arrive instead of allowing the diagnosis to define whatever time comes next.The crew talks about his career, his incredible deadpan comedy, the evolution of Evil Dead from horror into campy horror-comedy and why Campbell deserves even more credit for turning Ash into such an iconic character.It's thoughtful.It's sincere.It's genuinely moving.So obviously we immediately follow it with Richard Gere and a gerbil.Welcome back.Rizz introduces what may be one of the greatest pieces of investigative journalism ever attempted: a reporter apparently spent SIX YEARS investigating the origins of the infamous Richard Gere gerbil urban legend.Six years.Not Watergate.Not organized crime.Gerbilgate.The rumor predates social media, Reddit and basically every modern mechanism capable of turning nonsense into accepted historical fact within eleven minutes. Yet somehow the story spread across America and became so famous that people who had never met one another were all hearing slightly different versions of the exact same ridiculous tale.According to the investigation discussed on the show, one major accelerant was a fraudulent press release supposedly from an animal-rights organization that was faxed to newsrooms and Hollywood agencies around Los Angeles.Remember fax machines?Apparently misinformation had to work much harder back then.The legend mutated as it traveled. Different versions involved different hospitals, different objects and increasingly elaborate details, while alleged secret X-rays and other “evidence” became part of the mythology.The crew starts wondering why everyone believed it.Was it because Richard Gere was handsome, famous and married to Cindy Crawford, so society collectively decided the universe needed to humble him?Rafe has a theory.If one man gets to spend years married to prime Cindy Crawford, maybe everybody else needs to believe that guy has at least ONE extremely bizarre flaw.Thus, the scales of justice demand a gerbil.Which leads to the important hypothetical question nobody had ever requested:Would you accept ten years with Cindy Crawford if everyone believed the Richard Gere rumor was about YOU?Rafe is in.Rizz is negotiating the terms.Moon doesn't care about rumors.Lern is apparently serving as legal counsel.This funny podcast has officially become a contract negotiation nobody should ever put in writing.The conversation then spirals beautifully into Richard Gere attempting to visit a hypothetical pet store, South Park's Lemmiwinks, Cindy Crawford's Illinois roots, Gere's feud with Sylvester Stallone during The Lords of Flatbush, and the glorious collection of celebrity urban legends that existed before anybody could simply Google whether they were complete garbage.Marilyn Manson's rib.Gene Simmons' tongue.Rod Stewart.Bon Jovi.Jamie Lee Curtis.And because every generation apparently deserves its own completely ridiculous celebrity rumor, Rizz nominates Machine Gun Kelly for future service.Congratulations, MGK.You weren't consulted.Then Lern brings us Crap on Celebrities, where things get slightly less gerbil-intensive but no less chaotic.The crew discusses the controversy surrounding Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's tour after his pro-Palestinian comments, followed by multiple opening acts withdrawing in solidarity. Ed Sheeran says the decision wasn't his and that promoters and venue operators ultimately made the call after venues threatened not to host dates.Rafe checks the imaginary breaking-news wire and reports that Ed Sheeran has now quit his own tour.He walked out on himself.Solidarity has reached its final form.There's also speculation about Justin Bieber and Harry Styles as potential future Super Bowl halftime performers, although neither had actually been approached according to the story being discussed.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly installed automated security warnings around their massive Ohio property, giving Rizz yet another piece of technology he desperately wants at his own house.Get too close?BACK UP.Honestly, Rizz might install one inside the studio.Kelly Osbourne opens up about one of her final conversations with Ozzy and the estrangement between Kelly and her older sister Aimee, leading the crew to remember how remarkable it was that one member of the Osbourne family managed to stay largely outside the reality-TV circus while practically everyone around her became massively famous.Moon declares that decision extremely metal.Correct.Robert De Niro is reportedly in talks to play legendary Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda in a biopic, which immediately creates a new Hollywood controversy nobody saw coming:Why is Robert De Niro stealing jobs from fat guys?Finally, justice.Lern also discovers several pieces of music history that everyone apparently deleted from their brains, including Paul Rodgers performing with Queen and Ozzy Osbourne scoring a Top 10 hit decades after “Close My Eyes Forever” thanks to his collaboration with Post Malone and Travis Scott on “Take What You Want.”Moon's conclusion?None of this happened.Lern is inserting facts from an alternate reality.And frankly, after spending this much time discussing Richard Gere, we're no longer qualified to determine what is real.Then it's finally time to celebrate Melissa turning 40.She shares her birthday with Amy Poehler, Nick Jonas, Alexis Bledel, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Tilly, Richard Marx, David Copperfield and several others.But Melissa isn't finished earning her $5,000 donation.After already surviving The Iron Grip commercial, the birthday girl is handed one more prestigious broadcasting assignment:Reading the Porno Birthday.She handles that one like a champion, too.Melissa came to The Rizzuto Show for her 40th birthday and got fake commercials, celebrity gossip, gerbil journalism and an extremely questionable birthday-reading assignment.And she STILL has to play Do It Bitch with the crew.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1989's “Intruder” is known for its killer practical effects, supermarket setting, and appearances by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell — but it also gave us Liz Kern (formerly Elizabeth Cox) as the final girl who fought her way through one deadly night shift. Tune in to hear all about making this cult slasher, how Liz mapped out her various screams throughout the film, and what it was like doing every stunt and chase scene herself.

In this rerun episode of Dragonfly Ripple: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Nerd, Michael and Carlin talked to their kids about Westerns… with a twist (or "twisterns").  Carlin and Annaliese watched the 1993-94 Bruce Campbell series on FOX, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. while Michael and David delved into the 1960s TV series (and 1990s Will Smith movie) The Wild, Wild West. Both shows are Westerns, but feature sci-fi, spy, and steampunk elements.    And the opening chat between Michael and Carlin sets up Episode 4 by talking about the order in which we present the Star Wars films to our children. Plus, in "Jetpack Tiger," we talk about the Star Wars Clone Wars cartoon.

Sleazy, Mr. PBS and Robzilla are back with another jam-packed episode of The Sleazy Podcast!

Patrick returns to the Bandwagon this week as the Nerds recap Episode 3 of this first season of Lanterns. This episode was all about an origin story, of sorts, for John Stewart. We knew from Episode 2 that something was very unique about John, and this excellent episode sheds more light on that. The Trailer Park is rather light this week, but we still took a look at the new Neil Peart documentary, No One's Disciple, as well as getting our first look at the new Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone trailer. News Around the Nerdosphere was similarly light, as we got bad news about the future of Spider-Noir and similar bad news about Bruce Campbell's cancer prognosis. But we end on a high note as the project we started over the summer, to list the greatest intros for TV shows of the 1970s and 1980s, reaches its conclusion as the Nerds draft their best intros from action shows of the 80s.

This week on Bad Dads Film Review, we complete our accidental trilogy of “third things.” After covering Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the midweek show, we turn to Army of Darkness, Sam Raimi's third Evil Dead film, and use that as an excuse to dig into the noble, messy and often suspicious art of the threequel.There is no formal intro this week — time has apparently been attacked by Deadites — so we open with a catch-up on what everyone has been watching. Reegs has been busy with Backrooms, Obsession, Disclosure Day and Apple TV's Cape Fear, which gets a recommendation so long as you know going in that it is extremely ridiculous. Sidey has finally finished The Pit, finding the second season weaker than the first but still worth the time, and has also watched Backrooms and started The Mandalorian. Dan has finished series five of Slow Horses, which he continues to push as an absolute treat, and has also seen The Odyssey at the cinema, where three hours apparently went by surprisingly quickly.That leads us into the usual wandering preamble: 4DX screenings with shaking seats, water and wind; panoramic side-screen cinema formats; the Sphere in Vegas; Sidey somehow still not having made it to IMAX; Spider-Man: Brand New Day and big cinema opening weekends; Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal on Hot Ones; and the general horror of people getting overconfident with hot sauce before reality arrives in liquid form.The Top 5 this week is third films in a franchise, which gives us one of those lists where genuinely great films sit shoulder to shoulder with absolute nonsense. Dan opens strongly with The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, a film that swept the Oscars so hard it practically brought its own broom. Sidey goes for Toy Story 3, remembering Lotso, Spanish Buzz, the daycare escape, the furnace sequence and the emotional finality of Andy giving up his toys. Reegs makes a spirited defence of The Matrix Revolutions, arguing that its uneasy truce ending and refusal to give everyone a simple victory has aged better than its reputation suggests.From there, we move through Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with Sean Connery, River Phoenix and the Holy Grail; The Bourne Ultimatum, which Sidey remembers as peak Jason Bourne closure and kinetic shaky-cam action; Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, praised by Reegs for Rocket's unexpectedly emotional backstory; The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, because Frank Drebin remains Frank Drebin; and Die Hard with a Vengeance, which gives Sidey an excuse to talk about Zeus, Simon Says, Jeremy Irons and New York puzzle chaos.There are plenty of other third-film detours too, including RoboCop 3, Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Alien 3, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, Back to the Future Part III, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the Cornetto trilogy, Avengers: Infinity War, Blade: Trinity, Karate Kid Part III and Ocean's 13. Sidey bends the rules by choosing the third episode of Twin Peaks, “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer,” while Dan lands on Before Midnight, the third film in Richard Linklater's Before trilogy.Eventually, we arrive in 1300 AD for Army of Darkness itself. Dan has not seen it, but has correctly gathered that this is not really the same kind of horror film as The Evil Dead. Reegs, who has seen it many times, explains the tonal journey of the series: the first film as bleak, grimy horror; Evil Dead II as a genuine horror-comedy masterpiece; and Army of Darkness as the point where Ash becomes the full cartoon version of himself — part action hero, part idiot, part Bruce Campbell chin-delivery system.We talk about Sam Raimi's direction, Bill Pope's cinematography before The Matrix, Danny Elfman's contribution to the score, and the way Raimi's visual energy clearly echoes forward into later filmmakers such as Edgar Wright. The plot is gloriously simple and gloriously stupid: Ash is dragged through time after Evil Dead II, lands in the middle of a medieval conflict between Lord Arthur and Henry the Red, gets thrown into a pit, fights Deadites, reclaims his chainsaw hand, introduces everyone to the boomstick, and immediately becomes insufferable once the locals start treating him as their prophesied saviour.The film then sends Ash off to retrieve the Necronomicon, with one very clear instruction: say the words “Klaatu barada nikto” before taking the book. Naturally, Ash being Ash, he half-remembers, fudges it and unleashes the titular army of darkness. Along the way we get the windmill sequence, tiny mirror Ashes, Three Stooges slapstick, bad Ash splitting out of good Ash, Sheila falling for exactly the worst man available, and a castle siege finale full of skeletons, homemade weapons, a modified car and Ray Harryhausen-style chaos.We also get into the two endings: the darker UK/director's cut version, where Ash takes too many drops and wakes up in a ruined future, and the more crowd-pleasing US S-Mart ending, where he returns to work, tells the story and gets one last heroic Deadite showdown. Reegs prefers the bleaker ending because it feels funnier and more in keeping with Ash's ability to mess up almost everything.The verdict is affectionate, even if slightly qualified. Reegs still thinks Evil Dead II is the one to watch if you only watch one Evil Dead film, and he does not think Army of Darkness is great in quite the same way. But it is funny, quotable, inventive and packed with cult moments: the boomstick, S-Mart, “primitive screwheads,” bad magic words, skeleton armies and Bruce Campbell at maximum Ash. Sidey thinks Dan would probably enjoy it, describing it as something like The Princess Bride with Ray Harryhausen effects and comedy horror nonsense thrown in.So the final recommendation is simple: if you only watch one, Reegs says watch Evil Dead II. If you ask Sidey, just watch them all.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us. We'll read out any texts we receive on the show.

This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we are heading deep into the Tennessee woods to kick off a brand-new multi-part retrospective series dedicated to the ultimate splatter-horror royalty! Over the next few episodes, we'll be exploring the entire Evil Dead saga—from its scrappy, low-budget origins all the way to its modern reboots. To start our franchise journey, we're pitting the raw, visceral terror of Sam Raimi's original cabin-in-the-woods shocker, The Evil Dead (1981), against its legendary, laugh-out-loud slapstick horror-comedy follow-up, Evil Dead II (1987). Strap in as we track Bruce Campbell's transformation from a mild-mannered victim into the ultimate chainsaw-wielding anti-hero! The Evil Dead (1981) Crafted on a shoestring budget by a group of young, ambitious friends in the woods of Morristown, Tennessee, The Evil Dead remains one of the most relentlessly oppressive and innovative low-budget horror films ever made. Five college students arrive at an isolated cabin where they accidentally play a reel-to-reel recording of ancient Sumerian incantations from the Naturom Demonto (the Book of the Dead). What follows is an unhinged descent into graphic, demonic terror as the unseen Kandarian Demon possesses them one by one. Driven by Raimi's frantic "shaky-cam" cinematography, Tom Sullivan's nauseating practical gore effects, and a grim, unrelenting tone, this original nightmare set the benchmark for modern survival horror. Evil Dead II (1987) Six years later, armed with a bigger budget and a wildly anarchic vision, Sam Raimi returned to the cabin to invent a whole new subgenre. Part remake recap, part escalation, Evil Dead II hits the fast-forward button on the original's setup and throws Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) into a hyper-violent, Three Stooges-style cartoon hallucination. Trapped in the cabin alone with possessed severed hands, laughing furniture, and Deadites lurking in the cellar, Ash loses his mind—and his hand—before strapping a chainsaw to his arm and rising as the "Groovy" action icon we know and love. It is a tour de force of physical comedy, buckets of multi-colored blood, and pure, joyful cinematic chaos. Join us as we dissect this foundational double feature and launch our dive into the Necronomicon lore! Spoilers start around 9:38

Once upon a gloriously grim time, a band of fearless amateur filmmakers gathered in the woods and conjured a monster: the Evil Dead film series. Sam Raimi seized the director's spellbook, Bruce Campbell strapped on his boomstick, and together they unleashed three deliriously chaotic adventures that became cult treasures. As the decades rolled on, Raimi passed the torch to new sorcerers of cinema, each trusted to summon fresh horrors. And now, in 2026, the latest incantation—Evil Dead Burn—has erupted onto theater screens, drawing fans like moths to a demonic flame.From IMDB comes the tale whispered in the shadows: “After the loss of her husband, a woman seeks solace with her in-laws. As one by one they transform into deadites, she comes to discover that the vows she took in life—survive even in death.” It's a story stitched with grief, dread, and the kind of family reunion only the Evil Dead could make hilariously horrifying.Guided by French filmmaker Sébastien Vanicek—whose insect‑infested nightmare Infested (2023) still crawls through viewers' memories—the film was co-written with his longtime collaborator Florent Bernard. The cast, including Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey, dives headfirst into the carnage. Early watchers whisper that the movie is gloriously gory and savagely brutal, carrying the torch of French Extreme horror straight into American theaters. And now your cohosts, having braved the cinematic bloodbath themselves, return from the darkness to share what they found lurking inside.

Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Burn Notice) joins me this week for one of the most honest and moving conversations I have had on the show. Bruce opens up about his cancer diagnosis, the whack a mole life of living with something treatable but not curable, and the strange waves of gratitude that have left him feeling more present and more grateful than ever. We also get into making his new movie Ernie and Emma with full creative control for the first time since Evil Dead, walking away from the fear based studio system, and why he says he ruined himself by finally learning what a good film set feels like. Thank you to our sponsors:

Our Summer Series comes to a groovy conclusion! Laramy Wells is joined by Nicholas Pepin and James Brooks to discuss Army of Darkness, the cult classic that proves you don't need to be based on a comic book to feel like one. The trio explores how Sam Raimi's medieval horror-comedy captures the spirit of comic books through its larger-than-life hero, over-the-top action, and unforgettable visuals. They also dive into the different versions of the film, its connection to the Evil Dead franchise, Bruce Campbell's iconic performance as Ash Williams, and how the story continues in the comics.

How have we not covered this yet? This week, we're heading to the strangest nursing home in movie history with Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-tep (2002), the cult horror-comedy that asks one unforgettable question: What if Elvis Presley and John F. Kennedy teamed up to fight an ancient Egyptian soul-sucking mummy? Starring the living legend Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis who insists he swapped identities with an impersonator years before and Ossie Davis as a Black man who believes he's the real JFK, Bubba Ho-tep blends absurd comedy, heartfelt drama, and supernatural horror into one of the most original cult films ever made. Join us as we unpack the film's offbeat premise, memorable performances, surprising emotional depth, and why this low-budget oddity has earned such a devoted following. We'll explore its themes of aging, identity, friendship, and mortality while celebrating the bizarre charm that makes Bubba Ho-tep truly unlike anything else. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this cult classic for the first time, grab your favorite snack, watch out for scarabs, and settle in for a conversation that's equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and wonderfully weird.TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wheel.of.horror7?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wheelofhorrorpodcast1802/videosApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wheel-of-horror/id1534102813Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HnyAISG8Z8hvMFdSG60tE?si=9b785cf21c7f46a3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wheel_of_horror/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/HorrorWheel

Horror history spirals into paranoia and infection this week—from The Thing's frozen body horror to 28 Days Later's rage-virus chaos, The Omen's cursed bloodline, 1408's haunted hotel nightmare, and Quake's gothic digital terror. Henrique explores how June 22–28 birthed some of horror's most influential outbreak and supernatural films, dissecting what made them landmarks in horror legends and why they still feel dangerously relevant today.Inside this episode:• 1408 turns one hotel room into a psychological pressure cooker, trapping a skeptical writer inside a space that studies him, wounds him, and refuses to let him leave.• The Omen gives the evil-child movie one of its classiest and creepiest landmarks, with the Antichrist hiding behind privilege, elegance, and a terrifyingly calm little smile.• 28 Days Later drags outbreak horror into the 21st century with empty London streets, sprinting infected, digital grime, and the terrifying idea that civilization can collapse almost overnight.• Quake opens a slipgate into gothic castles, wet tunnels, shambling monsters, Lovecraftian dread, and a diseased industrial soundscape that helped reshape horror-tinged gaming.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to The Thing, John Carpenter's 1982 alien paranoia nightmare about imitation, isolation, mistrust, Rob Bottin's legendary effects, and the terrifying question of who is still human.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Bruce Campbell, Peter Lorre, Isabelle Adjani, and Kathy Bates, a creepy look at how horror teaches us to distrust the obvious, and a weekly recommendation for Twilight Zone: The Movie, the complicated 1983 anthology film that brought Rod Serling's nightmare world to the big screen.From haunted rooms and Antichrist children to rage-infected streets, gothic gaming nightmares, Antarctic isolation, alien imitation, blood tests, body horror, and the cold collapse of trust, this week proves horror history can make monsters out of places, people, memories, machines, and the person standing right beside you.

The guys open with Ed basking in the glory of a long-awaited New York Knicks championship after attending multiple historic playoff comeback victories.

The episode closes with Nine Sports, where the conversation drifts into celebrity weddings, microwaved fish, Ted Danson's infamous blackface controversy, and a report claiming Randy "Macho Man" Savage's off-screen activities were every bit as intense as his wrestling persona.

Mark and John discuss the 1987 horror classic Evil Dead II. Directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Dan Hicks, and a Kandarian Demon, the movie focuses on what happens when a pair of college students find an evil book in an isolated cabin. In this episode, they also talk about practical effects, mud puddles, and the excellence of Sam Raimi. Enjoy!

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a daily podcast completely abandons structure and just lets the chaos drive the Ford Focus directly onto the sidewalk. And somehow? It works beautifully.The gang starts off talking about language, slang, and why the word “cool” has survived for over 100 years while every other trendy word died a painful MySpace death. From there, things immediately escalate into a passionate discussion about Bob Seger, Risky Business slides at weddings, and whether wedding invitations feel exciting… or like being summoned for jury duty with chicken parmesan.Then the show uncovers a completely real service where strangers can literally BUY seats at weddings. That's right — random people are paying actual money to attend weddings they were never invited to. Because apparently the economy has gotten so weird that “professional wedding guest” is now a side hustle. Naturally, the crew debates whether crashing weddings for entertainment is genius or a fast track to getting tackled by someone's drunk uncle named Gary.Things somehow become even more ridiculous when listeners introduce “Bruce Madness,” a March Madness-style bracket dedicated entirely to ranking the greatest Bruces of all time. This launches a full-blown debate featuring Bruce Willis, Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Lee, Bruce Wayne, Bruce Campbell, Bruce Dern, Bruce Almighty, and approximately 47 other Bruces nobody expected to hear discussed in a serious context today. The arguments become passionate. Alliances shift. Friendships are tested. Batman gets involved. It's basically CNN for people who peaked at Spencer's Gifts.Chris Kerber joins the show to weigh in on hockey, the Kentucky Derby, Blues draft strategy, Dylan Holloway's extension, and yes… even MORE Bruce opinions because at this point the show has fully committed to the bit. There's also incredible Derby talk involving dorm-room air mattresses, mint juleps priced like luxury handbags, and infield stories that sound like NASCAR collided with a wedding reception.And then there's the weird news story that somehow tops everything else: a woman named Wendy allegedly chasing a dirt bike kid down a sidewalk in a silver Ford Focus while drunk and trying to “socialize her dog.” Which sounds less like a legal defense and more like the title of a rejected Florida crime documentary. The crew breaks down the viral footage, questions humanity, and collectively realizes that every neighborhood has THAT person lurking nearby.This episode is loaded with the exact kind of sarcastic humor, ridiculous arguments, weird stories, celebrity commentary, and chaotic energy that make The Rizzuto Show one of the best daily podcasts and funniest morning shows around.
