Welcome to the 35th episode of The Cinefessions Podcast! This episode will be a milestone in the production of the show as we introduce, for the first time, a fourth podcast host. Joining Branden, Chris, and Ashe this week is Marc Nadeau, a fellow movie geek and horror fanatic. We are excited to have Marc on the show, and we know that you’ll enjoy his intelligent discussion he adds to the podcast.
In this week’s show, we discuss our thoughts on the Evil Dead remake from 2013, the finale of season one of Ash vs Evil Dead, conclude our thoughts on the season as a whole, and talk about the future plans for the show now that Ash vs Evil Dead is finished.
You can follow along with this series by watching Ash vs Evil Dead on Starz. Next week’s episode on Making a Murderer can be watched via Netflix.
Note that these Ash vs Evil Dead episodes are filled with major spoilers, and we highly recommend that you watch the episodes before listening to the show if you do not want major plot points, including the endings, spoiled for you. This episode also contains adult language.

Branden has been a film fan since he was young, roaming the halls of Blockbuster Video, trying to find the grossest, scariest looking VHS covers to rent and watch alone in the basement. It wasn’t until recently, though, that Branden started seeking out the classics of cinema, and began to develop his true passion for the art form. Branden approaches each film with the unique perspective of having studied the art from the inside, having both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in acting. He has been a film critic since 2010, and has previously written for Inside Pulse Movies, We Love Cult, and Diehard Gamefan. His biggest achievement as a film critic, to date, has been founding Cinefessions and turning it from a personal blog to a true film website, housing hundreds of film and television reviews, and dozens of podcasts.
First of all I’d like to say welcome to the podcast Marc. I think you were and will continue to be a great edition to the team. Great knowledge, humour and enthusiasm. Kudos my friend.
I’m glad to finish up the series with you guys. I think the 10 episodes were a good season length. Anymore and it would feel a bit too repetitive. I also thought the finale was a little bit of a let down. My first thought was cop out! No stakes! But on reflection I like all the characters and I’d prefer that they all lived for season 2.
I’m thinking that it was originally written as a complete series but since it was offered a second season they quickly had to rewrite the last episode and turn it into more of a bridge episode as you said.
That being said. I enjoyed the series and I am looking forward to the second.
And wow guys your future plans sound amazing. I had to rewind when you said Black Mirror. I wasn’t sure I believed it haha. Thanks guys I’m so looking forward it. So far its only seven episodes over two series and a Christmas special. But I’ve heard Netflix plan to make a new 12 episode series in the future. If you guys ever set up a patreon or similar donation scheme then I will definitely love to contribute.
Also a run of Tarantino films will be great! I’ve not watched his three most recent so this will give me a great excuse to watch them along with the podcast. I loved Reservoir and Pulp. Disappointed with Jackie. Really did not like Kill Bill and that’s it. Stopped watching them. But I look forward to watching them all with fresh eyes
But first Making a Murderer!! I’m so glad. I, like every fucker else, has heard the hype and am currently watching the show. I do like a fair few true crime documentaries and this one sounds great so I am thoroughly excited to watch and then listen to your thoughts. Seriously though guys, if you ever do donations then I’m there because this truly is a great line up and start to the new year! I already believe you will surpass the great work you did last year
