We spend the night with old favorites, and it may just be a bloody good time; we’re talking remakes with “Fright Night” and “Evil Dead”.
THIS EPISODE: “FRIGHT NIGHT (2011)” AND “EVIL DEAD (2013)”
Welcome to Cheer and Loathing…for real!
It’s the end of remake/reboot month on the cast, and we’re going out with a bang. This week, we’re chatting about the 2011 remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 film FRIGHT NIGHT as well as EVIL DEAD, the 2013 remake of the 1981 film written and directed by Sam Raimi. In one corner, we’ve got tight leather pants, A-list actors bringing their A-game, and a Brewster who’s so cool we can hardly stand it. In the other corner, we’ve got buckets of blood, atmosphere for days, and a young scream queen who goes to hell and back for her craft. Many remakes are trash, but are some worthy of recycling? Tune in to find out!

ABOUT THIS PODCAST
She’s a lover, he’s a fighter. Together, they’re CHEER AND LOATHING.
Tune in to hear your hosts, Stephanie (Cheer) and Casey (Loathing), clash over the films they love — and the ones they love to hate. With a new theme each month and related topics each week, they’ll make a case for the good and the bad; it may even get a bit ugly!

New episodes of the CHEER AND LOATHING podcast typically drop the first three Sundays of every month, with possible bonus content every fourth Sunday based on listener feedback — or our desire to keep talking about movies!
