Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: The Hillbilly Horror Comedy Classic - Xenomania 81

from Xenomania · host Martin Kearns

This week on Xenomania, we’re heading into the woods for one of the best horror-comedies of the 2010s: Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. What looks like a backwoods slasher setup quickly becomes something much smarter, bloodier, and funnier, as two perfectly nice hillbillies are mistaken for killers by a group of extremely doomed college kids. We dig into the movie’s brilliant reversal of horror tropes, the chemistry between Tucker and Dale, the absurd body count, the surprisingly sweet heart underneath all the gore, and why this one has become such a cult favorite. Is Tucker and Dale vs. Evil one of the greatest horror-comedies ever made? Grab a beer, stay away from the wood chipper, and join us for another episode of Xenomania.
