In this heart-pounding episode of "Guess What? You're Wrong!", Dave from the Piedmont Triad Podcast and I strap in for an exhilarating journey into the realm of horror cinema as we tackle the enigmatic Evil Dead from 2013. With a mix of anticipation and curiosity, we grapple with the question that has haunted fans for years: Is this film a remake, a reimagining, or perhaps something more sinister lurking within the Evil Dead universe? Buckle up, listeners, because this episode promises to unravel the mysteries behind one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time.

Dave and I embark on a hair-raising adventure as we dissect the 2013 Evil Dead and its relationship with the original. We explore the film's innovative approach to the source material, its fresh take on beloved characters, and the gore-filled scares that have both horrified and thrilled audiences. Along the way, we share our thoughts on whether this version can be considered a faithful tribute, an expansion of the Evil Dead universe, or a chilling reinterpretation that stands on its own.

Join us as we navigate the treacherous woods and eerie cabins of Evil Dead (2013), armed with our wit, humor, and keen insights. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the franchise, this episode promises a blood-soaked, thought-provoking discussion that will leave you guessing until the very end. Tune in to find out if Dave and I can unravel the mysteries of Evil Dead and shed light on this iconic horror film's true nature.

***  This episode was originally scheduled to be released Friday October 20, 2023.  But due to the passing of my father I had to take a week off of recording the new episode for IT from 1990.  That episode will now be released on October 20, 2023.  Thank you for understanding.***

Ever find yourself absolutely certain about something, only to have that certainty completely unravel? That’s the territory explored in Guess What? You're Wrong!, a podcast from BigD that feels like a series of late-night conversations with a friend who loves to dig into the details. While movies and comics provide a frequent starting point-and yes, spoilers are absolutely part of the deal here-the discussions naturally spiral into much broader territory. A critique of a superhero film might lead to a candid take on current social dynamics, and dissecting a graphic novel’s narrative can open up a more personal journal-like reflection on why we cling to certain beliefs. This isn’t a formal review show; it’s an invitation to question things alongside the host, from pop culture staples to the unexamined opinions we all carry. The charm of this podcast lies in its meandering, authentic style, where passionate analysis of a scene sits comfortably next to off-the-cuff observations about the world. You’re listening in on a process of reconsideration, where the goal isn’t to lecture but to collectively poke at assumptions, including the host’s own. If you enjoy connecting the dots between entertainment, society, and your own internal monologue, this is a space where those threads are constantly being woven together and pulled apart.
