Podcasts about Raimi

Almost four years ago, Producer Ben Hosley watched Sam Raimi's "A Simple Plan" and proclaimed that if he'd been in that scenario, everything would have worked out perfectly. With the gleefully satisfying "Send Help," Raimi gives Ben the ending he's always wanted. Join Ben, Griffin, David, and Marie as they chat about the endless likability of Rachel McAdams, the heel turn of Dylan O'Brien, and how the various employees of Blank Check Productions would fare on a deserted island.

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Josh Parham, and Cody Dericks join me to discuss the latest film from Sam Raimi, "Send Help," starring Rachel McAdams, Dylan O'Brien, Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, and Dennis Haysbert. Written by writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the film finds Raimi back in his wheelhouse for the first time since "Drag Me To Hell," embellishing on the gore, horror and shock value of this two-hander survivor premise. What did we think of it, though? Please tune in as we discuss Raimi's direction, the two performances from McAdams and O'Brien, the practical effects, the wild directions the story takes, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Has Sam Raimi quietly changed his tune on Spider-Man 4? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down new comments that have fans buzzing about a possible Raimi return — and what that could mean for Tobey Maguire and the future of Spider-Man. Plus, brand-new Avengers: Doomsday promo art is making the rounds, revealing a chilling look at Doctor Doom, Magneto's comic-accurate helmet, and more hints at what Marvel may be building toward with its next big event film. We also dive into candid comments from Eternals director Chloé Zhao, who explains why the film simply wasn't a high priority for Marvel at the time — and how that may have impacted its place in the MCU. And finally, we talk Wonder Man. Is he actually a mutant? The showrunner confirms discussions about a possible X-Men connection, opening the door to some big implications for Marvel Television and the MCU going forward. All that and more on today's episode — let us know your thoughts in the comments and make sure you're subscribed for daily movie and TV news!

The Shameless Plug is never late. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to, roughly halfway through the on-sale cycle of the latest issue of Empire. To which, after all, this show is dedicated to shamelessly plugging. And once again, the Fellowship of the Plug — Chris Hewitt and Empire editor, Nick de Semlyen — have assembled in the Podmines of Moria for that plugging. You have Nick's microphone, and Chris' copy of Adobe Audition, and if the deluge of Lord Of The Rings references hadn't already clued you in, the duo are here to talk about issue 450 of Empire, which is dedicated to celebrating 25 years of The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Rings. Nick regales us all with tales of reuniting the four Hobbits and Sir Ian McKellen, virtually collecting the rest of the Fellowship, plus Cate Blanchett, Liv Tyler, Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, and getting Andy Serkis to write a piece for us. It's not all LOTR, with tales of Raimi-wrangling, a bit of Gore, and a Gollum impression you will never be able to unhear. Simples. Enjoy!

This week, we finish our Firsts for the First of first movies from famous directors where we talk about Sam Raimi's first film! If you are going to see Send Help, then start here by watching our review of The Evil Dead, the movie that put Raimi on the map! But is there one scene that's too far? Find out on the Bomb Squad!

Today on the Following Films Podcast, we're joined by Zainab Azizi, producer at Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures and one of the key creative forces behind the upcoming film Send Help. We talk about working inside Raimi's production company, developing elevated genre films, and what it's really like collaborating with one of the most iconic voices in modern horror. From behind-the-scenes process to navigating the studio system, this is a conversation about making bold films and surviving the chaos that comes with them.

You can't talk about a Sam Raimi directed film without talking about how his great, unique style has captured global audiences. What has he directed? The Evil Dead 1 & 2, Army of Darkness, and, of course, Spider-Man 1-3…to name a few of his best.   His newest film - SEND HELP - stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, who happen to be stranded on a desert island. O'Brien also happens to be McAdams' terrible boss with no survival skills.   Join us as we discuss - spoiler free - how Raimi can still surprise audiences after over 30 years!   Show Open [00:00:00] Take 1 [05:01] Take 2 [11:44] Take 3 [17:38] Last Looks [22:44] Show Close [25:46]   Thanks for listening!   Please rate, review, and subscribe if you liked this episode!   For all things Popcorn for Breakfast: https://linktr.ee/popcornforbreakfast   Check out our website: https://www.popcorn4breakfast.com Chat with us on Discord: https://discord.gg/7wGQ4AARWn Follow us on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/popcornforbreakfast Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeVJZwPMrr3_2p171MCP1RQ Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HhMxftbuf1oPn10DxPLib?si=2l8dmt0nTcyE7eOwtHrjlw&nd=1 Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/popcorn4breakfast Follow us on Twitter: @pfb_podcast Follow us on Instagram: @pfb_podcast Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@popcornforbreakfast?

Visit http://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS Drag Me to Hell Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Tara Erickson & Roxy Striar react to Drag Me to Hell (2009), the gleefully twisted supernatural horror film directed by Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) that blends outrageous scares, gross-out gags, and dark humor into a modern cult classic. Returning to his horror roots, Raimi delivers a relentless, fast-paced nightmare that's as funny as it is horrifying. The film follows ambitious loan officer Christine Brown (Alison Lohman – Big Fish, Matchstick Men), whose life spirals into terror after she denies an extension to an elderly woman, Mrs. Sylvia Ganush (Lorna Raver – They, Carnivàle). In retaliation, Ganush places a horrifying curse on Christine, condemning her to three days of escalating supernatural torment before being literally dragged to Hell. As Christine desperately searches for a way to break the curse, she's supported by her skeptical boyfriend Clay Dalton (Justin Long – Jeepers Creepers, Accepted), whose disbelief only heightens the film's tension and tragic irony.

To wrap up 2025, The Jock and Nerd Podcast looks ahead to what could be one of the biggest movie years ever with our breakdown of the Most Anticipated Movies of 2026. From massive tentpole sequels and superhero epics to director-driven prestige films, horror, animation, and auteur projects from Spielberg, Nolan, Villeneuve, Raimi, Eggers, and... The post JAN 621: Marty Supreme (2025) Review – Most Anticipated Movies for 2026 (12/31/25) appeared first on The Jock and Nerd Podcast.

In this episode, Eric swings through three eras of Spider-Man and the three actors who defined them: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. This isn't a “who's best” debate. It's a character study — why Tobey still feels like the heart of Peter Parker, why Andrew's electric, grief-soaked Spider-Man lives in our ribs, and why Tom Holland's MCU Spidey might be the most complete journey we've seen so far. From Uncle Ben's unfinished conversation in the Raimi trilogy, to Gwen's haunting fall in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, to the lonely, sacrificial reset of No Way Home, Eric follows how each Spider-Man carries his own scars… and how their crossover feels less like fan service and more like destiny. Three Spider-Men. Three unfinished stories. One legacy that refuses to fade.

This week on Scaredycast, we're joined by horror legends Ted Raimi and Felissa Rose for a double-feature episode packed with insider stories, fan-favorite memories, and a few unexpected surprises. All from their panels at Days of the Dead in Chicago! First, Ted Raimi stops by to reveal what Bruce Campbell is really like, share behind-the-scenes moments from early horror classics like Blood Rage and Intruder, and give us the inside scoop on his upcoming Screambox series, “Your Dearest, Darkest Friend with Ted Raimi.” If you love classic horror, Raimi family stories, or Evil Dead lore—this one's for you. Then, we're joined by the one and only Felissa Rose, who talks conventions, the wild world of horror fans, and even hints at some possible news about Scary Movie 6

We all love Troma ‘round these parts, but we often forget that Uncle Lloydie's more than a director - he's also a distributor of tons of underground films. Most are objectively bad, but not FROSTBITER (1990), this one is a total party. Take equal parts Raimi and Harryhausen, throw them in a pot and simmer for 8 (!) years, and you got yourself some chili… Better write 2 (!) original joke songs about said chili and use them for chili demon battles in your movie. It sounds insane, it is insane, it's also incredibly entertaining and full of charm. Let's go fishin' y'all! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this week's episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Kaitlin Raimi about public perceptions of solar geoengineering. Raimi, a social psychologist and associate professor at the University of Michigan, describes how only around 15 or 25 percent of people know what solar geoengineering is, and those who are aware tend to be wary of the concept. She discusses techniques to inform the public about the benefits and pitfalls of solar engineering, avoid political polarization, and prevent solar geoengineering from being seen as the only solution needed to tackle climate change.

Evan and Ward are joined by Jacob and Lenore from Socialist Shelf to discuss Sam Raimi's "Drag Me To Hell." Released in 2009, the film was written by Raimi alongside his brother Ivan Raimi and stars Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao, David Paymer, and Adriana Barraza. We discuss the obvious class divides and their effect on characters, housing, and the consequences of being a class traitor. Something which we all would like to see more of off screen.

The Necronomicon opens one last time.

Before director Sam Raimi achieved major box office success with the original Spider-Man trilogy, he was primarily recognized as the cult filmmaker behind The Evil Dead series. In 1981, Raimi and star Bruce Campbell created The Evil Dead, offering their humorous and irreverent take on horror, featuring Ash—a clumsy fool—being terrorized by ghouls in a cabin surrounded by woods. The film's success led to this 80s flick, which serves as a pseudo-sequel and remake, blending the grotesque style of the first film with slapstick comedy that echoes Raimi's fondness for The Three Stooges.Join us at the creeky old cabin, turn on the reel-to-reel recorder, and strap on the chainsaw as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Nicholas Pepin and Laramy Wells discuss “Evil Dead 2” from 1987 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:Ash's chainsaw appears to switch hands in one scene. This is because Sam Raimi decided Ash should walk the opposite way across the room in that scene, so he flipped the negative.The poster for the movie shows a close-up of a skeleton with eyes. This creature is not seen anywhere in the movie, but a similar enemy does show up in the sequel, "Army of Darkness".Sources:Wikipedia, IMDBhttps://www.mentalfloss.com/entertainment/movies/evil-dead-2-dead-by-dawn-movie-factsSome sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Where would this show be without forgotten Thing ripoffs boasting 3 minutes of Doug Bradley in full head makeup choking on tentacles that look like humongous earthworms? In honor (we guess) of its 30-year anniversary, the boys were once again talked into discussing a movie none of them had seen before by friend of the show/past guest Benji, the one and only PROTEUS (1995)! Based on the book SLIMER by Harry Adam Knight, the film version borrows as much from Raimi as it does Carpenter, to varying degrees of success. It's all worth it for the last 15 minutes of absolute ridiculousness. Come on, we're investigating this creepy abandoned oil rig with our fanny pack full of drugs - what could go wrong?

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi and guest Severin Borenstein discuss regulatory punishments for “energy hogs.” Borenstein is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley; faculty director of Berkeley's Energy Institute in the Haas School of Business; and chair of the board of governors for California's Independent System Operator. These “energy hogs”—households perceived as consuming wasteful and excessive amounts of electricity—may incur higher energy costs as states strive to meet economic and environmental goals. However, Borenstein's work reveals that benign or even desirable factors, such as having more people in the household, can lead to higher energy use. Borenstein cautions regulators about charging certain households more than is needed to offset the social costs of electricity use. Together, Borenstein and Raimi talk about ways that US states can reach their policy goals without penalizing households that use more energy.

Marty and Clif give Thomas and Erin the movie Darkman to watch.  The crew dives deep into Sam Raimi's Darkman (1990) — a chaotic, comic-book revenge tale starring Liam Neeson — and Tom Holland's Fright Night (1985), the ultimate 80s blend of vampires, special effects, and teenage paranoia. Along the way, they talk about MST3K, Raimi's early directing style, 90s superhero weirdness, and why Darkman feels like the missing link between Evil Dead and Spider-Man.  #TalkingPondo #Darkman #FrightNight #SamRaimi #HorrorPodcast #MST3K #MovieReview #CultCinema #EvilDead #LiamNeeson #ChrisSarandon #HorrorMovies #FilmDiscussion #Podcast Support the showFind our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw Revenge of Zoe Writing Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139659233X (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/makingpondo/Making Pondo on Letterboxd:Season Onehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo/Season Twohttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-2/Season Threehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-3/ Theme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Grab your chainsaws, kiss your hand goodbye, and get ready to head deep into the creepiest cabin in the woods. This week on Xtra Butta, Cam & Dylan dive face-first into Sam Raimi's cult classics: The Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987) — the films that turned “a weekend getaway” into “a blood-soaked nightmare with questionable life choices.” We're talking: Possessed trees with bad boundaries. The Necronomicon — aka “the worst Airbnb guestbook ever.” Bruce Campbell serving main-character energy and getting beat up by his own hand like a pro wrestler. We'll break down both films' chaotic plots, their wild behind-the-scenes history, and how Raimi basically invented low-budget horror magic with a fog machine, a cabin, and pure insanity. Plus, jokes. Lots of jokes. Because if you can't laugh while being chased by demonic forces… when can you? Wanna ask us something?!?

Get your popcorn ready, Slackers!We all know the legendary names—Spielberg, Scorsese, Raimi—directors who kicked off in the 1970s and kept crafting cinematic masterpieces for decades. But what about the filmmakers who delivered massive hits yet couldn't sustain the magic? For one reason or another—whether it was a lack of the right scripts, budgets, or staying power—their box office glory faded.Take names like John Badham, Michael Cimino, and Don Bluth. They created undeniable classics, films that some might argue defined entire decades. Yet, despite these triumphs, their success was fleeting, and they struggled to recapture that spark.We're diving into directors behind major hits and beloved movies that'll have you saying, “That was one of my favorites!” or “They directed all those?!” These filmmakers made waves but, for whatever reason, didn't cement their place among the all-time greats—whatever “great” even means.

Join Franchise Addicts as we dive into Sam Raimi's original The Evil Dead — the low-budget horror masterpiece that changed the genre forever.We'll be talking:

Time to get groovy!  Travel back in time to our classic Evil Dead 2 episode in this TMI Rewind -  but Ash don't turn the clock back THAT far!!  #evildead #evildead2 #brucecampbell #samraimi

We watched Evil Dead 2! It was a sweet treat for us as we dive back into the Raimi filmography. Well this movie was about the first movie but not at the same time. A cabin is mad that some people invade it so demons hate them and theres murder.Check out links https://linktr.ee/kingsofkillpodcast

Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi cut deep into Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981)—the raw, relentless, cabin-in-the-woods classic that jump-started a whole splatter language. We unpack how Raimi's scrappy camera attacks, Tom Sullivan's gnarly makeup/stop-motion, and Bruce Campbell's live-wire performance forged a cult juggernaut on a shoestring. We also trace the Michigan-to-Tennessee origin story (yes, that Morristown cabin), why the movie's fever-dream logic still rattles modern audiences, and how the film's ratings saga (X → NC-17; many releases unrated) fed its outlaw reputation.  Inside this episodePure nightmare mode: Why the 1981 original plays it straight—and meaner—than its sequels, leaning into fever-dream momentum instead of jokey splatter.DIY brutality: Tom Sullivan's prosthetics and stop-motion meltdown; Raimi's aggressive camera grammar that makes the cabin feel alive. From Michigan to Morristown: How a Detroit proof-of-concept led to a Tennessee shoot—and the enduring lore around that cabin site. (We discuss the oft-told lightning-strike story and what locals say.) The ratings fight: Festival buzz, an X rating, later NC-17 notes, and why many home releases stayed unrated—fueling the film's “forbidden” aura. Where to watch (U.S.) — checked Sept 23, 2025Prime Video — https://www.amazon.com/Evil-Dead-Bruce-Campbell/dp/B01CY5KYRCFandango at Home (Vudu) — https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/The-Evil-Dead/13752Apple TV — https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/the-evil-dead/umc.cmc.2zdhjrx2rwh7e0hu6a0iczqfqJustWatch (availability tracker) — https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-evil-deadQuick-answer FAQHow scary is it?

A spot of smoky rooms and heavy drapes suits us as finely as they do Lew, and somehow the more obscure the corner of history referred to by the couple-three iconoclasts he meets, the more our hosts find to discuss. There's plenty of room left in the shadows, as these dialogues reveal their purposes unorthodox even by the TWIT's standard! From the cricket...arenas...of Australia to bathtubs of Condy's fluid, it's no wonder we take a few missteps (e.g. Raimi) from the line of firm tracks this chapter joins them by.Next episode: Ch. 21 (pg. 242-259) ending on “‘Bells are the most ancient objects.

This week, Jeff and Garret dive into Sam Raimi's 2000 Southern gothic thriller The Gift.

From its chilling mystery to its star-studded cast, this episode uncovers why The Gift still leaves us feeling haunted.Would you like to hear an episode about one of your favorite directors, or films?

Troy and Roger dive into Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell (2009), a horror ride that mixes jump scares with slapstick in only the way Raimi can. They unpack the plight of Christine Brown, a loan officer whose one bad choice leads to a curse that makes her life.....well....absolute hell. From gross-out gags involving dentures and goats to the unforgettable showdown with Mrs. Ganush, the guys revel in the film's balance of camp and terror. They also dig into the morality at the film's core, questioning whether Christine really deserved her fiery fate. Along the way, they gush over Raimi's signature style, the film's inventive sound design, and that jaw-dropping ending. It's a conversation that proves horror doesn't always have to be serious to still pack a punch. Find out more at https://dark-night-of-the-podcast.pinecast.co

From Sam Raimi, the acclaimed directer of the Evil Dead Trilogy AND Spider-Man Trilogy comes this action thriller which FEELS as if it was based upon a comic book though was actually an original concept developed by Raimi when he was unable to land the rights for The Shadow back in the late '80's.  Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Taken) stars as Payton, a mild-mannered scientist trying to develop synthetic skin.   Oscar-winner Frances McDormand (Fargo, Nomadland) plays his attorney girlfriend Julie who uncovers a real estate scam, and Emmy-winner Larry Drake (LA Law, Dr. Giggles) plays Durant, the mob enforcer who comes along with his goons to rough up Peyton for the evidence, brutalize him, and leave him for dead after dipping much of his body in acid leaving him burned all over....only Peyton isn't dead.  And what results is a wild, crazy, and quotable revenge thriller which came out 35 years ago this summer and developed into a cult hit.WARNING: GRAPHIC VIOLENCE PORTRAYED VIA MOVIE CLIPSHost & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In our penultimate episode of Season two, we are joined by friend of the pod, Elio Colavito (he/they)! Elio chats with Marcelle and Raimi about their doctoral research on the history of trans community-building and mutual aid. The group chat about the importance of being connected to community from the past into the present. In response to this week's listener voicemail, Marcelle, Raimi and Elio think through how to support kids when someone in their life comes out or transitions, including changing the pronouns used. Recommendations this week include children's musician Susan Salidor, the Digital Transgender Archive, and doing karaoke with your kids!You can find more of Elio at eliocolavito.org or on twitter @eliocolavito.

This week we're saddling up with The Quick and the Dead (1995), Sam Raimi's spaghetti western by way of a Looney Tunes fever dream. Sharon Stone rides into town with a score to settle, Russell Crowe tries to outrun his past, and Gene Hackman chews the scenery like it's a steak he overcooked himself. Leonardo DiCaprio is all charm and babyface bravado, and every gunfight is a crash zoom carnival of smoke, sweat, and a ticking clock. It's duels at high noon, showdowns at sundown, and the kind of over-the-top visual flair that makes you wonder if the camera's going to start shooting bullets too. We're locking, loading, and going full Raimi on this one. Did you enjoy the episode? Don't forget to hit that subscribe button and join us for more retro movie discussions! Want even more?

We are back with just as touching and insightful of a conversation in part II of our interview with Kai Cheng Thom (she/her). In this episode, we respond to listener voicemail, from Fig, seeking insight on how to support kids when they enter school and start facing broader societal pressures and gendered expectations. Marcelle, Raimi and Kai Cheng chat about the parental desire to fix problems and make a safe and easy world for kids, especially when the world and its problems feel big and overwhelming. While we can't immediately rid the world of its problems, the group discusses the value in maintaining the home as a safe place; for exploration and self-expression for your kids and their friends, as well as a place for kids to find the self-love and courage to navigate difficult situations. Recommendations this week include a children's book by Kai Cheng Thom, From The Stars In The Sky To The Fish In The Sea, as well as Histories of The Transgender Child, and A Short History of Trans Misogyny both by Jules Gill-Peterson, and a listener submission from Erica B, To Survive On This Shore by Jess T. Dugan and Vanessa Fabbre. Marcelle also recommends getting your kids into DnD or any tabletop role playing game!

In this episode, Marcelle and Raimi are in conversation with a very special guest, Nehiyaw (Cree) Elder Richard Jenkins. Elder Richard Jenkins chats with us about what being an elder means to him, as well as 2-spirit as a placeholder term for gender and sexual diversity, and ᐁᔨᐦᑵᐤ (eyihkwew; not man, not woman, something in between) as a conceptual way of being that can see and understand multiple perspectives. We are grateful for Richard sharing teachings with us as he touches on the Nehiyaw practice of noninterference as a core principle for how to guide and support children. The trio, as always, finish with recommendations, including; The Travelers of Casteia by Beck DeTrempe, 2 Spirits in Motion Society, and The Non-Binary Bunny by Maia Kobabe. The 2-Spirit documentary mentioned by Marcelle is “Re:Membering Stories of the 2Spirit Indigenous HIV/AIDS Movement” and can be found on the CAAN (Communities, Alliances and Networks) website.If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with family and friends!
