The CCD Podcast: Episode #74.5 - Army of Darkness & Ash vs The Evil Dead Screening at Videology Bar & Cafe on 10/29/15

Last night we attended an awesome live event at Videology Bar & Cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that tied in perfectly with our recent CCD vs The Evil Dead Retrospective episodes of the podcast. Videology teamed up with Den of Geek US to host a double feature screening of the third installment of the Evil Dead franchise 'Army of Darkness' and the very 1st episode of the new Starz TV show 'Ash vs. The Evil Dead'. To say that our minds were blown at the announcement of such an event would be the understatement of the century... So we treked into Williamsburg to see just how great this event could be. The results: GROOOOOOOVVVVYYYYY!!!! 

While we were at the bar we recorded a bunch of interviews with staff members, patrons of the show, and we even had a chance to sit down AFTERWARDS an discuss the night with the Editor-In-Chief of Den of Geek US himself, Mr. Michael Cecchini. Overall, a great night. Give this bonus episode a listen and it will feel as if you were right there with us!

Hail to the king baby! All Hail King ASH!!!!

The CCD Podcast: Episode #73 - CCD vs The Evil Dead: A Retrospective Pt. 1 or "We Will Swallow Your Soul... If You Don't Subscribe & Listen"

Nightmare on Elm Street. Friday the 13th. Halloween. These are the usual suspects that we think of when we discuss "horror franchises". The big guns... the ones even non-horror fans know and love. But there is one other MAJOR franchise that everyone likes to talk up, and the one thing that makes it SO UNIQUE is that it is also the one that has movies appear on a ton of "Best Ever" lists. That would be the Sam Raimi controlled Evil Dead franchise. We certainly love it here at CCD, so Jedi Rob invited Mike D and Kristen "KMG" Grillo down to the nerd cave to discuss the highs and lows (not many of them, but there are a few) of the 3 original films... as well as the remake, video games, comic books, the musical and also the upcoming Ash vs The Evil Dead TV series. It is a hell of a good time, so check out the first part and get ready for Deadite Hunting Season (which begins on October 31st, 2015 at 9 pm on Starz).

Evil Dead: An Animated Tribute

The Evil Dead franchise is one of the most important sets of films in my cinematic life. The reasons are actually quite complex. The slapstick style of the horror presented by Sam Raimi in the three films made the horror genre much more accessible and easier to accept for me as a youngster. Also, it introduced me to the wonderful work of Sam Raimi, and would lead to the genius eventually making the Spider-Man trilogy. And finally it allowed me to fall in love with Ash, one of the greatest heroes ever portrayed by the one & only Bruce Campbell!!! Olly Moss (the one above) created an cool poster for Mondo back in 2010, and that poster helped inspire this unreal minute & a half animated clip from Daniel Kanemoto that commemorates all three films in the series. This one will take fans of the series back down memory lane!!! See the clip after the jump...

Three Videos That Will Make You Smile Today...

I have been bombarded with cool ass videos that I wanted to share with my fellow CCD gang, but I have been struggling to get them all posted. So I decided to hit you with a 3 for 1 in this post... and they are all wonderful. First up, we have star of Community & Mystery team Donald Glover's first rap video under his alias "Childish Gambino". This one is great. Then we got a theme song for the NES classic Ghosts n Goblins that is sure to make all you 8-bit fans smile. And finally, we rap it up with a Evil Dead 30th anniversary tribute video. Time to get to viewing!!! Click after the jump for all three vids...
