…oh, come the heck on, of course I set up a talk with Bruce Campbell about the end of Ash vs Evil Dead, who the hell do you think you’re talking to here. This is my second chat with Bruce, following my first, which orbited the show’s second season, while this one is all about the third, … Continue reading
Doing something a little different with this season of Ash vs Evil Dead: Instead of reviewing its individual episodes, I’m just going to highlight the best five moments from each one. Whatcha think about that? It doesn’t matter, really, because I’m doing it anyways, so nyah. But the piece I wrote is fun! It is fun. So you … Continue reading
Guys: I interviewed Bruce Campbell. I want you all to know, in case you don’t already, that this is a big deal for me, and I also want you to go to Paste Magazine, right now, so you can read the interview. I’m not wasting more of my energy on preamble than I need to, … Continue reading
“And so Ash vs. Evil Dead ends just as it begins: with Ashley J. Williams making a terrible decision to satisfy his own self-interests. Before you grab your pitchfork and rally the townsfolk to march on Ash, lend the poor bastard your compassion. He has been fighting the good fight, so to speak, against the … Continue reading
“In a parallel dimension where Ash vs. Evil Dead’s first season is longer than ten episodes, and each episode is longer than thirty minutes, maybe Evil Ash 2.0 would stick around longer than just a handful of scenes. We don’t live in that dimension. Maybe that’s a good thing. Just after his debut, the son … Continue reading
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens just came out this past Friday, so you’re probably sick to death of seeing the word “spoilers” bumped around on the Internet like a pop culture volleyball. That being said, it applies very much to Ash vs. Evil Dead’s most recent episode, which ends with a nasty shocker that can … Continue reading
“If you’re watching Ash vs. Evil Dead, Starz’s excellent revival of Sam Raimi’s iconic Evil Deadfranchise, you probably initially got into it the for love of Bruce Campbell. There’s no getting around it—Ash vs. Evil Dead draws a really specific crowd, comprised chiefly of people who spent the 90’s ranting about boomsticks and demanding sugar … Continue reading
“Let’s start off by facing facts and talking spoilers: if you’re a longtime Evil Dead fan, and if you know this franchise inside and out, then you’re probably feeling a little bit jittery at Ruby’s unexpected resurrection. By “unexpected” we mean “totally expected,” mind, because there’s no way that Ash vs. Evil Dead could cast … Continue reading
“And here it is: The episode of Ash vs. Evil Dead that Ashley Williams’ diehard fanbase has been waiting for. Sure, the series started off with a bang, setting Ash back to work messing up Deadites and protecting all that is good and living from all that is evil and, well, not living. But past … Continue reading
“Good news for Amanda Fisher: Ruby is her new best friend. That only seems fair, doesn’t it? Ash has already gained two new best friends himself. Why should Amanda be left out of the fun? Now she has someone to pal around with in pursuit of her perp, though Ruby’s intentions sound a lot less … Continue reading
“What do you really know about Ash? That’s the fundamental question of Ash vs. Evil Dead’s latest episode, “Books From Beyond,” which a handcuffed Amanda Fisher poses to a gun-toting Kelly in a decidedly lopsided conversation about Ash’s dubious morality. Sure, we all know that he’s the hero, here, but Fisher is yet to be … Continue reading
“After last week’s high-octane masterclass in zombie butt-kicking, Ash vs. Evil Dead has decided to slow down the pace a bit with its second episode. But don’t mistake “Bait” as a sign of post-pilot slumping: the show remains top notch even as it takes a necessary detour on the road to sending the Deadites back … Continue reading
“Back in 2013, Fede Alvarez decided to join in the increasingly common practice of rebooting pop culture monoliths with his update on Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead. His gory toil produced a movie that didn’t quite work, didn’t quite not work, and which, if nothing else, is at least partially responsible for shepherding Raimi back to … Continue reading
