This week on episode #180 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Evil Dead Burn and whether one of horror’s most beloved franchises has finally reached the point where it needs to stop. Evil Dead has survived for decades by constantly reinventing itself, but how many times can you repeat the same possession, Deadite, and gore-heavy formula before it stops feeling like Evil Dead and starts feeling like just another horror movie? We break down what Burn gets right, where the formula is starting to wear thin, and whether this franchise still has anywhere meaningful left to go.

We also talk about the enormous pressure facing the new X-Men cast, John Carpenter’s mysterious TV project, and whether television has gotten ridiculous with how long audiences are expected to wait between seasons.
