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.
