Medieval robotics! Incredible one-liners! An iconic movie poster! A gooey villain! Zany comedy and gags! Endearing puppetry and classic special effects including stop motion and rear projection! Yet another Linda! Inconsistent series continuity! Gulliver's Travels and Excalibur references! Amusing side characters! A wide range of Deadites! Masochistic, comic relief skeletons! A theme by Danny Elfman! Bruce Campbell giving one of the greatest performances of all time as a complicated, relatable hero with a relatable job!

In addition, the gang shares their spoiler-free thoughts on 1981’s Ghost Story, Horror in the High Desert 1 and 2, Brian De Palma’s Carrie, Child's Play 2, the M3GAN spin-off Soulm8te, Whalefall, Ben Affleck’s Animals, and The Social Reckoning!
