#018: Army of Darkness

For our eighteenth episode, we finish chronicling Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead” trilogy with an installment that can definitely be described as the third chapter, 1993’s “Army of Darkness”. Just in time for its 30th anniversary, travel back to the Middle Ages with the lunkheaded chainsaw-limbed savior of humanity Ashley J. Williams. It’s a tale that involves unjustly issued NC-17 ratings, aborted attempts to adapt “The Shadow”, Marvel comics crossovers, and even the “Star Wars” card game (trust me, it will make more sense in the episode), as told by Raimi, star Bruce Campbell, and Raimi’s co-writer/brother Ivan.Ryan's Recommendations: “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (1951), “Ash vs. Evil Dead” (2015-2017), and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (2022)For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcastTheme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
