Season 33

Our Sam Raimi series concludes with his most recent film - not to mention the first MCU film we've covered on the main feed - it's time for Doctor Strange 2.

Ah, yes - we've arrived at the reason why we held off on covering Sam Raimi for so long...because we didn't want to end our series on such a dismal note. "Oz the Great and Powerful".

After the massive box office success of his Spider-Man movies, Sam Raimi went "back to basics" - returning to the gnarly demonic possession genre that he put his stamp on back in the "Evil Dead" days.

If "Spider-Man 2" had the reputation of being the greatest superhero movie of all time, "Spider-Man 3" had the inverse - a bloated mess with too many villains, and a very goofy Peter Parker going to the darkside.

For a while, "Spider-Man 2" was considered the high water mark for superhero movies - but does it hold up 14 years deep into the MCU? We've got two words for you - ALFRED MOLINA.

Upside down kissing, Bonesaw McGraw, and a soundtrack featuring not just one, but TWO of Avril Lavigne's ex-husbands...it's SPIDER-MAN.

Katie Holmes in a lazy southern accent asks, "What's the matter? See somethin' bad?" and we are immediately transported back to the year 2000 when the trailers for this movie were EVERYWHERE.

Is this not America? Is baseball not America's favorite pastime? Is "For Love of the Game" a Sam Raimi movie? Technically speaking, sure.

$4.4 million, a murder of crows, and a cursed crashed plane...the ingredients for a real nail-biter of a fable.

Considered a bit of a "blank check" for actress Sharon Stone, "The Quick and The Dead" may have been too quirky for mainstream audiences and too earnest for the post-Tarantino generation of cinephiles back in 1995.

KLAATU BARADA NIKTO - did we get that right? Writer Eva Anderson joins us as we attempt to answer several questions related to the final entry in the Evil Dead trilogy - 1993's Army of Darkness.

Who's Darkman? A man of a thousand faces. A walking fleshwound who probably smells awful. A dude who probably would be into night eggs. Filmmaker Chris Weitz joins us to geek out over Sam Raimi's homage to the Universal Monsters.

It's the definitive Sam Raimi film - a "symphony of silly" with a bravura performance from Bruce Campbell, and a prevailing sense of, "the more gore the merrier!"

Sam Raimi directed a movie between "The Evil Dead" and "Evil Dead II" that was written by the Coen Brothers and no one ever talks about it...until NOW.

It's Sam Raimi time - groovy. Our new series PODCAST ME TO HELL kicks off with a banger - 1981's ultra-low-budget horror classic "The Evil Dead".
