Grab your boomstick — it’s time to talk Army of Darkness! In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Sam Raimi’s over-the-top, action-packed horror comedy that turned Ash Williams into a pop culture legend.
We’ll break down the wild tone shift from Evil Dead 2, the genius (and madness) behind Bruce Campbell’s performance, and how Army of Darkness became one of the most quotable cult films of the ’90s. From the practical effects and stop-motion skeletons to Raimi’s signature camera chaos, this movie is pure genre gold — and we’re here to unpack every hilarious, gory, and groovy moment.
Whether you’re a lifelong Evil Dead fan or just love movies that don’t take themselves too seriously, this episode celebrates why Army of Darkness still rules decades later.
New episodes of R Rating drop every week — covering everything from horror classics and action icons to underrated gems and cult favorites.
