Welcome to the podcast where we don’t review movies—we aggressively scream about them like gremlins who found a mall PA system. This week we’re spiritually summoning the ghosts of the Evil Dead series and go absolutely feral over two of the most chaotic low-budget masterpieces that were clearly made after someone said, “hey what if we did this but like with ZERO adult supervision?”
🪓Intruder (1989) — directed by Scott Spiegel, featuring Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, Ted Raimi, and the single most enthusiastic bandsaw in film history ⚔️Thou Shalt Not Kill… Except (1985) — directed by Josh Becker, starring actual Michigan dudes playing Marines fighting a Charles Manson knockoff.
🔪We unpack the truly essential questions:
- The bandsaw kill in Intruder deserves a Criterion release.
- What would happen if OSHA inspected this film (spoiler: prison)
- Was Thou Shalt Not Kill… Except funded by selling Bruce Campbell’s chin oil on the black market?
- Is that cult leader supposed to be Charles Manson or just Charles Manson if he got rejected from a regional theater production of Hair?
- The extremely important theological debate of: does Michigan count as a liminal space?
🧠We also spiral into:
- Why Sam Raimi makes the best gruesome death faces
- A passionate defense of supermarket meat hooks as an underused slasher weapon
- A brief pitch for a spiritual sequel called Door Greeter of Death starring The Rock at a cursed Walmart
🩸 Films Chaotically Analyzed:

Also: Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, Darkman, and like 400 other movies we just blurted out mid-sentence
If you want academically incorrect film analysis, Bruce Campbell cameos, and chaotic horror nerd energy, this episode is your new religion.
