Evil Dead II (1987) with Darren Michael of Musclelizard Gaming and Entertainment

 

This edition of A Cosmic Void has Darren Michael join us to talk about the Sam Raimi cult classic film Evil Dead II. We examine all subversions to expectations that knocked filmgoers off their feet. We discuss the elbow grease that goes into making an independent horror movie that is effects heavy. We look at all the films it would be inspired by, and go on to inspire as well. And we look at the Evil Dead franchise as a whole, among many other things!

Ex Machina (2014)

 

The A Cosmic Void podcast covers the Alex Garland instant classic: Ex Machina. We dissect the movie going scene by scene uncovering the themes that run beneath. We discuss the feminist reading of this movie, the allusions to literature and history, and discuss the slightly ahead of it's time presentation of the danger of data mining. And of course we list movies that informed it, as well as movies influenced by it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
