My Name Is Bruce

Once again, the guys sit down to watch a Bruce Campbell movie. This time, Campbell gets back to his roots and made this one with a bunch of his friends (and some new folks), literally in his own back yard! Sure, the budget was about ten thousand percent higher than the movies he made this way as a kid, but it's a fair trade-off for the improved quality.

A little higher, anyway...
Bruce Campbell takes on his most challenging role as Bruce Campbell, who is recruited--or, to be more accurate, kidnapped--by a superfan named Jeff (Taylor Sharpe) to help rid the small town of Gold Lick, Oregon of Guan-di, the vengeful Chinese god of war and bean curd. Unfortunately, despite years of fighting them on the silver screen and television, Bruce Campbell has no idea how to defeat it.

Will he be able to save the people and town? Will he get the girl (Grace Thorsen), who also happens to be the superfan's mother? Will he fire his agent (Ted Raimi)? And, most importantly, will he bang his birthday hooker? You'll have to tune in to find out!

Good luck with that, Bruce!
Jake enjoyed the scene with the hock shop owner (Tim Quill) and his partner (Danny Hicks) offering Bruce any gun he wants. He was, however, suitably concerned at Jeff's level of obsession with the man. He also thinks that it looks too much like a TV show to be a movie.

Derek didn't have a problem with the look of it, and he really enjoyed the whole cast, including the cameos from past Evil Dead trilogy actors. But he doesn't get the whole thing about the bean curd. He also got a kick out of "Shemp's Premium Whiskey", another nice callback to the Evil Dead films.

So get yourself one big name, keep it under $1.5 million and tune in to this week's episode!
