Evil Dead: Burn (2026)
Director: Sebastián Vaneček
Starring: Suheyla Yacoub, Tandy Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan
The Deadites are back, and this time they brought a body count and a grudge. This week on the Dewey Pod Monster podcast, we tear into Evil Dead: Burn, the newest entry in the long-running franchise, and figure out whether it earns the name on the poster or just borrows it. Expect strong opinions, a franchise history lesson, and at least one hot dog-based rating system.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
Does It Even Deserve the Name? — We dig into whether slapping “Evil Dead” on a movie automatically raises (or wrecks) expectations, and whether this one actually earns the title.
-
Practical vs. Digital Gore — A full-throated rant on the franchise's practical effects legacy and where this entry falls short — or leans too hard on CG in its climax.
-
Characters We Actually Care About (or Don't) — We break down the cast, the family drama at the center of the story, and why some of us just couldn't connect with anyone on screen.
-
The Rules of an Evil Dead Movie — A deep dive into franchise logic, lore-bending choices, and the moments that made us go “how the hell did that happen?”
We Also Talked About:
-
Burden of Dreams (Ok.Ru) — Werner Herzog's legendary making-of documentary, discussed as an all-time favorite deep in the show's opening segment.
-
Dark Side of the Ring: Ultimate Fantasy: The Fall of Renegade (DailyMotion) — The wrestling documentary episode covering Rick “The Renegade” Wilson's tragic story, brought up during our wrestling tangent.
-
Python Hunt (Amazon) — A Florida-set documentary about amateur hunters tracking invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, discussed as unintentionally hilarious “watch for the bumpkins” viewing.
-
Killer Thong (Tubi) — A gloriously dumb low-budget horror movie about a reanimated killer thong, discussed purely for its “so bad it's good” charm.
-
Jackass: Best & Last (Amazon) — The crew's latest (and possibly final) entry, discussed as low-budget, dumb, and exactly the kind of chaos we love.
