2.16 - ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992) & Genre Mashup
The ‘Evil Dead’ franchise continues, but not after Rob mourns the passing of a cultural touchstone from our screens. Then things take a lighter turn: the usual disagreements, versions of Sam Raimi’s vision, and nostalgia for the early days of stop motion.
This Week’s Watching
THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF (2010–): Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Mary Berry
RED (2010): Robert Schwentke, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman
Recommendations
SHAWN OF THE DEAD (2004): Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003): Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush
CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981): Desmond Davis, Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier
GALAVANT (2015—16): Dan Fogelman, Joshua Sasse, Timothy Omundson
Footnotes
Here’s a reminder of that Edgar Wright video. (And, while we’re on the subject of action comedy, RED makes it to a respectable number 7 on this list.) Again, the fan wiki for this film is interesting, and there are a few more good bits of trivia here. Finally, after Rob mentions him in his recommendations, here’s a fun list of some of the creations of the late Ray Harryhausen.
