EVIL DEAD (2013) Commentary Track

The BOP Crew wants you folks to CUT IT! But if you've somehow managed to not read from a cursed book bound in human flesh and become possessed, then you're definitely ready to join us in this sojourn into the woods for this extra special BOP 'n A Movie feature commentary! Why so extra special, you ask? Because we find ourselves celebrating the five year anniversary of Fede Alvarez's supremely underrated EVIL DEAD remake! Entwined within this audio recorded in human blood, we delve into the aftermath of it's release, the abandoned franchise plans - including the crossover with Ash himself! - and the overlooked and hefty sub-textual themes of drug abuse, addiction, and self-destruction this film carries with it! Evil Dead deserves your respect, and if you don't give it, Mia WILL probably shove a chainsaw in your face.

BOP Reviews: Evil Dead 2

A symphony of madness.

It's been about 24 hours since I first watched Sam Raimi's now famously cult classic follow-up to his breakout film and the movie that cemented him as a horror king. EVIL DEAD 2 was a movie I had long been anticipating my first viewing of, going back to years before I had ever seen a frame of Raimi's work outside of the Spider-Man movies and Darkman. I had heard about the legend of Ashley J. Williams through countless internet praises and friends who had grown up with the gutsy gorefests that made Bruce Campbell a household name, but as far as my exposure to the actual Evil Dead brand went, I was pretty scarce. The only film of the three that I had seen in full was ARMY OF DARKNESS, and that was definitely not the film to start off on. Not because it was lacking anything - quite the opposite, Army of Darkness is immensely entertaining and one of the best horror comedies ever made - but because in that movie, Ash was already established as the badass that he inevitably became. He'd gone through the hurdle of two entire movies that built him up to be the face (or chin) of demon slaying debauchery and the best cheesy one-liners imaginable. So as a film, Army gave me great entertainment, but it did nothing to improve my experience with the Evil Dead franchise. It was simply the spark.

Mini BOP - Evil Dead (2013)

In this Deadite fueled Mini BOP, James and Mike make a startling discovery in some Kandarian ruins, read from a book bound in human flesh, and end up getting way too familiar with some demonic tree branches, if you know what I mean. Our personal lives aside, rev up your chainsaws and CUT IT, ladies and gentleman, because in this episode we discuss the remake of the horror classic, EVIL DEAD.
