Podcast appearances and mentions of Sam Raimi

Matt and Eric explore the excellent, suspenseful bummerfest that is 1998's A SIMPLE PLAN, where Bill Paxton and Bill Bob Thornton discover the deadly RAIMIfications of trying to play it cool after finding millions of dollars in the woods.

Grab your boomstick and rev up the chainsaw! This week, we're diving headfirst into the wonderfully unhinged world of Evil Dead 2. Part sequel, part remake, and all-out chaos, Sam Raimi cranks the gore, giggles, and deadites up to eleven. We break down Ash's descent into madness, debate whether this is horror, comedy, or pure cinematic mayhem, and ask the most important question of all: is Evil Dead 2 the ultimate glow-up sequel? Expect laughs, screams, and plenty of possessed hand talk along the way. Groovy.

This week, Brent Wilson cracked open the Necronomicon which resulted in EJ and Rory being possessed by Kandarian demons. You'd think they'd raise hell or something , but instead they just want to talk about how awesome Sam Raimi and “THE EVIL DEAD” are! 

Always replace your divots (never your lead actors) Larry Drake (Dr. Giggles) gives the finger to audiences who assumed his mob kingpin died in the last movie's climactic chopper crash. Darkman 2 features The Return of Durant (and the exit of Liam Neeson, Francis McDormand, and director Sam Raimi). Can new face Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) use his mask-making machine to infiltrate his nemesis's gang and stop the development of a high-powered laser? And will reporter Kim Delaney (NYPD Blue) uncover the reasons why this superhero vigilante didn't receive a theatrical release the second time around?  Listen Now!

Matt and Eric chug along with JanuRAIMI, visiting Sam Raimi's fun foray into westerns, THE QUICK AND THE DEAD - a Sharon Stone vehicle that also boosted the careers of both Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio!

The Phantom Menace Liam Neeson needs thicker skin after Larry Drake (TV's LA Law) burns down his laboratory and turns him into the vigilante Darkman. But will girlfriend Frances McDormand (Fargo) still want to marry the nerd after he disguises his disfigured looks under masks, and goes after the goons that work for shady real estate developer Colin Friels? And did writer-director Sam Raimi create a landmark superhero movie a decade before he spun the Spider-Man trilogy into box office gold?  Listen Now to learn if this 1990 cult film holds together under the Now Playing spotlight.

Matt and Eric kick off 2026 with a (non-Evil Dead, non-Spider-Man) Sam Raimi run, starting with 1990's DARKMAN! Liam Neeson loses his face...but gains everyone else's in this fun, campy vigilante ride.

Marty and Clif dive deep into the film's cartoon logic, rapid-fire dialogue, exaggerated performances, and elaborate set pieces. Along the way, they unpack the film's connections to Sam Raimi, Roger Deakins, Preston Sturges, Buster Keaton, and the Coens' evolving style.Then it's time for a much darker New Year's turn with Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard. Marty and Clif discuss Gloria Swanson's iconic performance as Norma Desmond, William Holden's doomed narrator, and the film's lasting influence on decades of cinema. #TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #ClassicFilms #FilmAnalysis #TheHudsuckerProxy #SunsetBoulevard #CoenBrothers #BillyWilder #NewYearsMovies #FilmNoir #ClassicHollywoodSupport 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

Its a familiar story for anyone who is fan of horror cinema: the story of a young director, with no film experience, no money, and no industry know-how, who wrangles up some friends, a camera, and some borrowed money from his community, and goes out and makes a cult classic film that catapults them to a successful career in the larger film world. But for every Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson or Tobe Hooper, there are the directors who went out and made a movie, but it ultimately led them no where. Well, sometimes those movies have a life that these filmmakers never could have imagined. In this episode, we explore the 1962 cult classic film Carnival of Souls, a gorgeously shot and eerie masterpiece, and the bright eyed director who had only previously made educational films. This movie went on to inspire everything from Night of the Living Dead, Eraserhead, and so much more, but not without first experiencing an unforseen rise to cult classic status.      If you want to get in touch with us, you can email the show at yearsoffearpodcast@gmail.com, or on Instagram at @Yearsoffear

Podcast Horreur ChroniqueImaginez un instant que le chaos viscéral des années 80 rencontre la froideur chirurgicale de l'horreur sociale moderne. Ce n'est plus un fantasme : c'est l'annonce qui vient de faire trembler les fondations du cinéma de genre.Dans cette nouvelle Chronique de l'Ombre, nous sortons momentanément de la fiction pour analyser un séisme culturel. Sam Raimi (le maître du Splatter) et Jordan Peele (l'architecte de l'Elevated Horror) s'unissent pour produire l'adaptation du court-métrage viral le plus terrifiant de ces dernières années : Portrait of God.Au programme de cette analyse /Podcast Horreur :

A gore-spattered double feature for the ages! We've just decided to let loose this week and tick off surely two of the greatest cult horror films in history. Andy Hunt drops by to check out Evil Dead 2 (1987), directed by Sam Raimi, and follow it up with one of the ultimate hold-my-beer moments, Peter Jackson's Braindead (a.k.a. Dead Alive) (1992). It's not really possible to spoil these films and one would hope the average Caliber 9 From Outer Space listener will have seen both of these films multiple times by now, so we won't be calling out Spoiler Territory for either film this week. Want to get in touch? You can reach us on caliber9fromouterspace@gmail.com Theme music: "The Cold Light of Day" by HKM.

It’s Turkey Day and what goes better with turkey than a little Grave-y Plot Podcast? Before you stuff your face full of mashed potatoes tonight, why don’t you jam this juicy new episode in your mouth??? Up first we’ve got some hors d’oeuvres in the form of Real World Horror, where we discuss a ghost hunter who found more than he was hoping for. You can’t have Thanksgiving without the sides, so enjoy a big plate of Horror Business, featuring our thoughts on Mickey vs Winnie in a battle to the death (or for the death? I don’t know), Brendan Fraser’s triumphant return to The Mummy, as well as another comeback with Return to Silent Hill. Don’t forget to dish yourself up some Wilderness Reform from the director of Heart Eyes, plus a movie Sam Raimi called “outrageous, even for [him]!” Then, for the main course, slice yourself off a big ol’ chunk of movie reviews. We’ve got two different flavors. First, the Grabber is back for revenge in Black Phone 2, followed by the body horror love story Together. So be thankful for a brand new episode of The Grave Plot Podcast! Dig in!

HELP, film fans!! Jason's dragged Ryan into a look back at Sam Raimi's weirdest flick (which is saying something)! What happens when Raimi wants to make The Shadow, films his own homage instead, and unleashes it upon a post-Batman (1989) world?? Dare the discovery and dare to watch Darkman (1990)!!The Deep Question: You go to Rekall from Total Recall (1990) to live out a fantastic movie adventure - what do you choose?This Week's Features:Darkman (1990)Message Jason and Ryan

Remember when Sam Raimi was all "I'ma make a spoodermin film" and we were all like, "what no way?!" And he did, and it was a pretty good spoodermin.  Well, it's time for a bunch of 40-somethings to pick at it!

Welcome to the podcast where we don't review movies—we aggressively scream about them like gremlins who found a mall PA system. This week we're spiritually summoning the ghosts of the Evil Dead series and go absolutely feral over two of the most chaotic low-budget masterpieces that were clearly made after someone said, “hey what if we did this but like with ZERO adult supervision?”

¡Dorothy! ¡La Malvada Bruja del Oeste! El universo de Oz creado por L. Frank Baum sigue fascinando a las nuevas generaciones. Con el inminente estreno de la segunda entrega de Wicked, la adaptación del exitoso musical de Broadway, nos perdemos en un mundo que ha generado decenas de libros y otras interpretaciones en teatro, cómics, juegos y cine. Su creador, a principios del siglo XX, supo explotar como nadie su capacidad de reinventar el cuento de hadas a la americana. Repasamos la vida de Baum y sus libros, plagados de personajes tan carismáticos como Tik Tok, Jack Pumpkinhead, Ozma, Glinda o el Hombre de Hojalalata y alucinamos con todas las conexiones pop de este magnífico lore. Opinamos sobre el fenómeno literario y musical de Wicked y sobre otras continuidades como la reciente saga Dorothy debe morir. No nos olvidamos de la extraordinaria película de Judy Garland, ni de la oscura Oz, un mundo fantástico o de The Wiz con Michael Jackson pero también rescatamos las versiones de Sam Raimi, Eloy de la Iglesia o Paco León. Descubrimos la relación de Oz con los crossovers Marvel-Dc, alabamos el trabajo del autor Eric Shanower y hasta hablamos de un manga cyberpunk inspirado.¡Hasta hay videojuegos, anime, juegos de mesa o librojuegos! ¡Seguid el camino de baldosas amarillas!

Phillip and Eric are the first part of a rewatch of Sam Raimi's infamous Spider-Man 3 starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst and featuring Sandman, Venom, Green Goblin, Gwen Stacey, and too many subplots. They see if the film has aged better as Phillip claims and debate the difference between a host and a maitre'd.

Send us a textIn honor of the Wicked frenzy sweeping the world, Ryan and Andrea revisit Oz the Great and Powerful—Disney's ambitious, slightly sparkly attempt to make their own Oz universe. Ryan's defending it with his whole heart. Andrea's still processing her trauma. Michelle Williams is serving Glinda realness. And James Franco's wizard… might need HR training.Follow us @disneyinsideoutpodcast

The SuperHero Homies are back — and this week, we're doing what Hollywood couldn't: fixing bad superhero movies! From Superman Returns to X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, we take on some of the most disappointing comic book films ever made and reimagine them with just a few smart changes. But first, we kick things off with a 30-minute cold open packed with gaming and pop culture talk! We discuss which games might win Video Game of the Year (with Expedition 33 as a top contender), why live service games usually fail, and whether politics belong in art and entertainment. We dive deep into how storytelling, messaging, and creative freedom shape the worlds we love — from comics to cinema. Then it's time to fix some bad superhero movies — with three simple rules: 1️⃣ The movie must stay in its cinematic universe timeline (no reshuffling releases). 2️⃣ You can't remove actors, directors, or characters — but you can add new ones. 3️⃣ The core premise must stay the same — no total reboots. With those limits in place, we prove that even within Hollywood's restrictions, these movies could've been way better. We share how we'd improve character arcs, pacing, tone, and storytelling in Superman Returns, X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga, Spider-Man 3, and more!

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch, Phil Thomas, and Matt Shoemaker, whose new book, Gathering of Gamers: Dungeons & Dragons and Other Games Through Gen Con, is available now through Play Story Press (https://playstorypress.org/books/gathering-of-gamers/). We continue our deep dive into anti-Dungeons & Dragons moral activist Patricia Pulling, founder of Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons (BADD), how she became an alleged expert on the occult, and the types of groups who were receptive to her declarations of the alleged hazardous effects of tabletop roleplaying games. Topics discussed include: The Devil's time hosting Family Feud, the logistics of books bound in human skin, police find demonic excuses to spend taxpayer money (and we share a few of our own ideas), and how computers may have fulfilled the prophecies of the Book of Revelation.For an amazing history of the Necronomicon, check out, Joseph P.

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. Bring your religious reliquaries and crosses, stock up on holy water and call the B.P.R.D. - capitalism isn't the only demonic entity that shows up in this one.The Socialist Shelfhttps://pod.link/1665378700https://bsky.app/profile/socialistshelf.bsky.socialhttps://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/roundfire-books/our-books/they-called-her-rebelLeft of the Projector Linkshttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojectorpod.threadless.com/https://www.instagram.com/the_red_gobbo/https://www.instagram.com/millennialmarxist1/https://leftoftheprojector.com

The Necronomicon opens one last time.

On this new episode of Film On Tap, Tom, Andres, and Nancy discuss the trailer for Sam Raimi's Send Help and dive deep into their thoughts the horror sequel Black Phone 2!

This week we celebrate Halloween by throwing Wally's 16-year-old son into the wild, chainsaw-swinging, one-liner-spouting madness that is Army of Darkness! Will he think Ash Williams is the original cringe lord? Or will the boomstick win him over and prove that practical effects, skeleton armies, and Sam Raimi chaos still slap in 2025? We grew up calling this peak cinema… now it's time to find out if Gen-Z agrees. If you love cult classics, horror comedy, and watching teens roast our nostalgia, smash that like, drop a comment, and subscribe!

Happy Halloween!Evil Dead II was not the sequel to The Evil Dead that Sam Raimi intended. With a bigger budget, and more experience, he essentially remade the first film with a comedic twist. Released in 1987, Evil Dead II became the perfect bridge between horror and comedy.Ash Williams transforms from every man survivor to wisecracking action hero. Campbell's physical comedy is next-level; the guy gets beaten up by his own possessed hand. His performance became so iconic, it launched an entire franchise and Ash as a cult hero. Practical effects, makeup, and prosthetics created some truly memorable (and gross) moments.Evil Dead II helped define the horror-comedy genre and influenced countless filmmakers. It became a cult classic that's still celebrated decades later, leading to Army of Darkness and eventually the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi became legends in genre filmmaking.Evil Dead II proved you could be terrifying and hilarious at the same time. It's a masterclass in creative filmmaking on a budget, and proof that sometimes the best sequels are the ones that aren't afraid to reinvent themselves.Groovy.I would love to hear your thoughts on Evil Dead II !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

When the night shift hits the express lane... heads start rolling. INTRUDER (1988) stuffs an entire graveyard's worth of gore into one grocery store as the late-night crew gets picked off by a maniac with a real flair for the theatrical. Featuring a meat hook, a bandsaw, and a cashier who's *way* too committed to their job, this blood-soaked slasher brings aisle-side carnage like you've never seen before. We're talking suspense, severed limbs, and Sam Raimi stocking shelves—what more could you possibly ask for? INTRUDER might make you think twice about applying for that part-time gig, but you won't regret punching in for this twisted episode of The Blind Rage Podcast.

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!

Before 20-year-old Sam Raimi could make The Evil Dead, he had to convince investors that three friends from Michigan could pull off a horror masterpiece. Enter "Within the Woods," a short film that became the ultimate pitch; screened across Detroit until enough people bought in. The result? An initial $85,000 and a one-way ticket to a freezing, abandoned cabin in Tennessee with no heat, no plumbing, and 12 weeks of pure filmmaking chaos.Bruce Campbell's on-screen suffering was real—those bruises, cuts, and exhausted reactions weren't acting. The crew ended up living in the dilapidated cabin, inventing techniques and visual effects out of creativity and desperation. It was the epitome of low budget, inexperienced but passionate filmmaking.The Evil Dead could have easily disappeared into low budget horror movie obscurity, though. They struggled to find domestic distribution until Stephen King saw it at Cannes and called it "the most ferociously original film of the year." That single endorsement transformed everything.When it was released in the UK, it became the best selling VHS of the year in 1983. It was subsequently banned as the "number one video nasty" in the UK, and called too extreme for mainstream distribution. Thanks, Mary Whitehouse.The Evil Dead rewrote the rules. It proved indie horror could be artful, that gore could be kinetic poetry, and that a cabin in the woods could become the most terrifying place on Earth. It showed a generation of filmmakers that you don't need studio money to make something revolutionary; you just need vision, determination, and friends willing to suffer for the cause.I would love to hear your thoughts on The Evil Dead (1981) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara and James Dyer pay tribute to two cinematic greats who left us this week: the legendary Oscar-winning actress, Diane Keaton, and Drew Struzan, the artist who defined posters, and people's walls, for decades. Struzan's work inspires this week's question, which asks our trio to identify the greatest poster of all time. Elsewhere in the show, they discuss the week's movie news, including the return of Sam Raimi, and review Roofman, After The Hunt, Black Phone 2, and briefly discuss Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and Edward Berger's Ballad Of A Small Player. Guest-wise, our cup overfloweth yet again, as Chris sits down on Zoom (sorry about his audio track, he didn't have access to his microphone) with Rebecca Miller, director of the excellent Apple documentary about Martin Scorese, Mr. Scorsese, [25:26 - 40:19 approx] and in person with the delightful stars of Roofman, Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst. [1:04:01 - 1:19:13 approx] And Sophie Butcher has a lovely chat with Black Phone 2 stars, Mason Thames (who, contrary to what Chris thinks, does not pronounce his name like the river) and Madeleine McGraw. [1:43:07 - 1:58:08 approx] Enjoy!
