In this exciting milestone of an episode (75 episodes...what!?!), hosts Katherine Troyer and Toni Tresca discuss not one, not two, but three seasons of the horror comedy TV show Ash vs. Evil Dead (2015-2018).    Episode Highlights: We celebrate the awesomeness that is three seasons of watching Ash Williams fight off Deadites. We talk about each season of the show and what we felt were the seasons' respective strengths and weaknesses. We also examine the show's larger narrative arc and think about the exciting ways that the show expanded in terms of its mythos and worldbuilding. And while we, of course, discuss at great length Bruce Campbell and his fantastic performance as Ash, we also focus on one of the show's best aspects: its incredible supporting cast who bring to life interesting and diverse characters that manage to hold their own against Bruce Campbell/Ash Williams. A Dose of Scholarship: In this episode we return to some of the scholarship we referenced in our episodes on other works in the Evil Dead franchise. (So go back and listen to those episodes!) In particular, we highly recommend checking out the edited collection of essays The Many Lives of The Evil Dead: Essays on the Cult Film Franchise, edited by Ron Riekki.  This podcast episode first aired on August 30, 2022. Thank you so much Jackson O'Brien for being a rockstar editor (and for saying you particularly liked this episode)!   ALL LINKS  Twitter/Instagram: @NightmarePod1; YouTube: Such a Nightmare;  Email: suchanightmare.pod@gmail.com; Website: suchanightmare.com

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 1981 film Evil Dead.Episode Highlights: We extol the wonders of this film as a perfect and perfectly campy horror-in-the-woods text. We talk about the significance of Ash and how, through this surprisingly complicated character, the film (and franchise) explores issues of toxic masculinity. And we set up up our exploration of the entire Evil Dead franchise (so be excited for future podcast episodes!).  A Dose of Scholarship: We highly recommend checking out the edited collection of essays The Many Lives of The Evil Dead: Essays on the Cult Film Franchise, edited by Ron Riekki. In particular, this episode referenced Dale Bailey's essay "Final Girl, Final Boy: Ash's Imperiled Masculinity," which can be found in this collection.Twitter/Instagram: @NightmarePod1; Email: suchanightmare.pod@gmail.com

In true nomadic fashion, his writing takes the reader to Kuusamo, Utah, Berkeley, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Lake Mohave, Yosemite, Karelia, and a hazmat facility where all the animals on site have been forgotten. A mix of Anselm Hollo, Gregory Orr, Eric Torgersen, and Nils-Aslak Valkeapää, Riekki’s writing forces the Saami-American voice to be heard, a voice that some might not even realize exists. It does. Furiously."

On this week's show, a conversation Ron Riekki, author of Posttraumatic (a Hoot n Waddle title) and co-editor of the just published anthologies Undocumented: Great Lakes Poets Laureate on Social Justice and The Many Lives of The Evil Dead. Those are just the books he's had published this year.
