    2.7 You and What Army of Darkness

    Sometimes things are simply dead. Other times, they are EVIL dead. But one thing will never die: Dan’s affection for Army of Darkness, the third film in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy—which Lex had never seen.

    You can watch along with us by streaming the film—we used the theatrical release version—from Amazon or iTunes.
