Cult of Classics

Uh oh! Looks like it's time to talk about Sam Raimi's horror game-changer Evil Dead! This one is a wild ride. Tarver and Liam discuss the merits of practical special effects, the effort it took to make the film, what holds up and what doesn't after 39 years, and the benefits of not really having a plot. The fandom for this franchise is THICK so it's a good place to start if you aren't extra familiar with Evil Dead or horror in general. Are we in the cult? Listen and find out!

Welcome to the Cult! Cult of Classics is your source for all that good info on the movies that have subtly shaped your favorite fandoms since before most of us were born. In this episode Liam and Tarver get right on into John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece- The Thing. How could you not love this movie? A few words to sum it up, you ask? I'll respond in question-and-answer form: The writing? TIGHT. The special effects? GROSS AND PERFECT. The acting? PHERNERMENAL! The timing of its release? NOT GREAT. Listen and find out what the best and worst parts of The Thing are, and whether or not Tarver and Liam are in the cult.
