Episode 75: Such Sights to Show You

After far too long, the Women In Caskets return with a much anticipated look at one of their favorite films of all time: Clive Barker's Hellraiser. And this time, they've brought a friend to solve the puzzle box with them, Lindsay Jones (RWBY, Camp Camp, Achievement Hunter, Rooster Teeth).

Join the intrepid trio as they discuss this blood-soaked fairy tale of love, lust and murder while marveling at the many uses of condoms and how this all could have been avoided with a good dominatrix. (Seriously, these people need professional help.)

Episode 74: Gaze Into My Eyes

If you ever wanted a lesson in not dismissing a film based on it's plot summary, look no further than Coralie Fargeat's, Revenge. Dawn and Jen gleefully take you though this expertly crafted, symbol-laden, stunningly beautiful example of their least favorite cinematic trope: the rape/revenge flick. 

So, warning: discussion of sexual assault and the treatment of survivors is all over this podcast.

If you're interested in watching the movie after listening to this podcast, but want to skip the assault, we present the timecodes for the wary:

• Awkward/threatening convo between Stan and Jen starts: 14:44

• Stan walks in on Jen and makes the situation more hostile at: 16:47

• Assault begins at: 20:00

• Richard returns post-assault and tries to cover it up at: 22:50

• Jen goes off the cliff at: 27:41

Episode 73: Once Upon a Cabin in the Woods... Again

It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. After three movies and over thirty years, daring filmmaker Fede Álvarez does the unthinkable and helms a remake*, daring the fates to strike him down.  

...and no one was more surprised than your hosts that he actually pulled it off.

Taking a new cast, new characters, and a new script into the great wilds of a New Zealand set, Álvarez managed to capture the spirit of the original, chucking the yuks-yuks and focusing on the story of five young people caught in the grips of terror. With a returned focus on practical gore, what results might not have been gonzo box office success, but it was a more than worthy edition to the Evil Dead series.

This episode is the fourth and final in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead movies and the 2013 remake.

*Yes, we know it's often described as a successor/sequel rather than a remake. But it functions as a remake and that's what we're sticking to.

Episode 72: Thrice Upon a Castle in the Desert

It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. Coming off of the successful Darkman and a deal with Universal, Raimi and company set their sights on the distant past, an epic journey, and a clear focus.  

...and almost forget where the heart and soul of the series resides.

While Army of Darkness was the most commercially successful of the series, the pared-down feature strips most of the nuance and (admittedly thin) logic out in favor of more yuk-yuks, bravado, foolishness and accidentally becomes more problematic than the movie with the tree-rape scene.  

This episode is the third in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead movies and the 2013 remake. Stay tuned.

Episode 71: Twice Upon a Cabin in the Woods

It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. After a grueling and miserable flop for their second feature, Raimi and company reluctantly set their sights on a sequel and finally work the kinks out of this whole movie making thing.  

...while still almost killing an actor or two. Baby steps.

The Evil Dead movies officially became a franchise with the release of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn and the series cemented the distinctive style, humor, and over-the-top gleeful terror and gore that would characterize it from here on out. 

This episode is the second in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead movies and the 2013 remake. Stay tuned.
