Ryan and Tim take a dreary, deadite deep-dive into "Evil Dead Rise," the fifth installment in the iconic horror franchise. While the film didn't quite live up to Ryan's hopes, lacking a certain bite and earning a "stream" rating, Tim found it more compelling and awarded it a "rent." Our hosts discuss how and if filmmakers can "put evil" into a movie, how a “modern” approach both help and hurt the movie, as well as the potential pitfalls of too much character development. So pardon us as we can’t help but say: JOIN US!
