Evil Dead II with film producer and director Mike Mendez – The Pick of the Flicks Podcast #35

May 8, 2019 by Tom Beasley

On The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, a different guest drops in every week to chat about their favourite film. This week, film director and producer Mike Mendez discusses the splatter classic Evil Dead II…

On the latest episode of The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, horror filmmaker Mike Mendez pops by to discuss his own work in the genre, including the excellent anthology film Tales of Halloween, and his favourite movie of all time – Sam Raimi’s unhinged Evil Dead II. We chat about the unusual circumstances surrounding Raimi’s film, Bruce Campbell’s legendary splatstick performance and why Peter Jackson was at his best when he was dealing with gallons of fake blood.
