After reviewing the Nic Cage & Elijah Wood movie, The Trust on episode 205 of The After Movie Diner Podcast, the filmmakers, Alex and Ben Brewer reached out to us.

This is a conversation they had with host Jon Cross not only about the stars and stories that went into making The Trust but about the business of filmmaking as independents, where they got their starts and even finding out they all had something in common when it came to the Massachusetts music scene!


We think it's an awesome chat and we also think you should check out their underrated gem of a movie over on Netflix!

From his early days in his brother's Super 8 movies, to shemping in Evil Dead 1, to co-starring (and very nearly destroying himself) as Henrietta in Evil Dead 2, to playing multiple parts in Army of Darkness and then, recently, in Ash Vs Evil Dead playing Chet Kaminski, Ash's childhood friend and reprising his iconic roll as the possessed Henrietta, there really is no Evil Dead without Ted. Ted Raimi that is. Younger brother to Director Sam Raimi and friend and contemporary to the chin himself, Bruce Campbell, Ted and Jon Cross discuss all this and a whole lot more. 

We even touch on his starring role in rarity and fan favourite, Lunatics: A Love Story. 

Ted Raimi was a funny, informative and engaging guest, a rich storyteller and it was pretty much one of my nerd bucket list items to one day talk to him. So this chat is 25 years in the making! 

ENJOY!!
