Fantastic Fest 2016 Ash vs Evil Dead: The Interviews

It's about damn time.

With the second season of Ash vs Evil Dead airing, the Women In Caskets are happier than Ash in Jacksonville to bring you the interviews we conducted at Fantastic Fest this year.

To say we had a blast would be an understatement.

Listen to Dawn and Jen's take on the new season, or skip right to the interviews after the 22-minute mark.

Thanks to all the wonderful people at Starz, Fantastic Fest and Fons PR for making this happen for us, and of course, a humongous debt is owed to Bruce Campbell, Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago and Lee Majors for their time.

NOTE: The rooms we were recording in were not ideal, so the sound quality on the interviews is not up to our usual standards. The fault is all ours.

Fantastic Fest 2016 Fest Update Master Post

Fantastic Fest 2016 was a wild ride and the Women In Caskets took you along with them. The following podcast specials are our unedited recaps of Days 1&2, 3&4, 5&6 and finally 7&8.

We hope your enjoy!

Episode 40: The Gay Killer Strikes Again (and again)

Guest-tember continues as Dawn and Jen welcome Vox culture reporter Aja Romano to the podcast to discuss the unfortunate trope of the gay/lesbian killer. With so many examples, it's difficult to narrow it down, but from Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray to NBC's Hannibal's cast of queer murderers the ladies pick apart what makes the trope and why it's endured for so long.

Along the way, they ponder the pitfalls of a modern remake of Harold and Maude, the unfortunate article of clothing known as the "wife-beater," and make a slight detour to discuss Don't Breathe.

A huge thanks to Aja for joining the podcast this episode! You can read her work on Vox HERE, and follow her on Twitter at @ajaromano.

Episode 39: The Macon Blair Witch Podcast

Jen and Dawn welcome the wonderfully talented Macon Blair to the podcast to discuss the spectacular Green Room! Along the way, we learn about Jen's punk roots, everyone's love for dogs, and encounter a group of horticultural renegades, intent on disrupting our lives (or at least the podcast).

We had a blast talking to Macon. If you can, check out his other work with writer/director Jeremy Saulnier in Blue Ruin and Murder Party. 

Thanks always to The Shape for the intro/outro music.
