Shownotes

Hail, noble listeners, and welcome to a new episode of The Rotten Horror Picture Show! Gather ’round the hearth as Clay and Amanda regale you with tales of heroic deeds, unspeakable horrors, and… another Bruce Campbell movie? Yes, indeed, today they delve into the chaotic, wild, and utterly entertaining world of Sam Raimi’s *Army of Darkness,* the third installment in the Evil Dead saga, where Campbell once again dons his armor (and his chainsaw) as the irrepressible Ash Williams.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m a knight of medieval England, and I’ve got a soft spot for tales of valor, undead battles, and all things Campbell. *Army of Darkness* has it all: skeleton armies, cursed books, and more one-liners than a court jester on ale night. It’s a rollicking adventure that takes Ash back to my time, where he must face off against evil in a land far removed from the cabin in the woods.

But here’s the thing: How many more Bruce Campbell films are we going to cover, good sirs and ladies? I get it—he’s a legend, the king of B-movie charm, and no one delivers a quip quite like him. Yet, even a knight such as I desires a bit of variety in his tales. I’ve slain dragons, rescued maidens, and faced the wrath of sorcerers, but sometimes I yearn for a different flavor of horror. Perhaps a cursed artifact from Egypt, or a tale of vengeful spirits from the Far East?

As Clay and Amanda discuss Ash’s medieval misadventures, I’ll be here polishing my armor and pondering the next battle. So, listen in, brave souls, as they dissect the humor, horror, and sheer madness of *Army of Darkness*. Just maybe, after this, we’ll ride into new territories of terror and mystery—something to whet the appetite of even the most seasoned knight.

But for now, to battle! Or, at least, to podcasting. Let’s see what mischief Ash gets into this time.
