Hack or Slash

Episode 261: Evil Dead 2 (1987)

This week we prepare for an upcoming theatrical release by checking out Evil Dead 2 (1987). We debate the necessity of its opening, assess the quality of Bruce Campbell’s performance, and examine the franchise’s tonal shift. In this episode's b-side, we welcome Mack back from his vacation, Kris doesn’t get Sam Raimi, and we collectively fall down a Hack or Slash: After Dark rabbit hole. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 34:47.
