About This Episode
Grab your boomstick and hop in the nearest medieval death pit, because this week the dads are taking on Army of Darkness! Bruce Campbell swaggers his way through time as Ash Williams, and we’re right there with him — talking wisecracks, one-liners, skeleton armies, questionable medieval accents, and all the insane practical effects that made this cult classic a genre-defying blast.
We debate whether Ash is actually a horror hero or just a magnificent idiot, celebrate the glorious cheapness of some of the best (worst?) fight scenes ever filmed, and wonder aloud how much "Chainsaw Hand Maintenance" would really cost. Along the way, we get nostalgic about video stores, action figures, and that golden age when sequels were just totally bananas.
This isn’t just another Evil Dead movie — it’s an undead, over-the-top, time-traveling epic. Hail to the King, baby!
Film Synopsis
Ash, a handsome, shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed department store clerk, is time warped backwards into England's Dark Ages, where he romances a beauty and faces legions of the undead.
