It's a new year, a new decade, and the "official" relaunch of the podcast (complete with finished logo and new intro music)...so we are kicking things off with our series "Newer Isn't Always Better." And since we take movies seriously at Video Monsters, but not ourselves, we are totally on board with the irony of using this series as the official relaunch of the podcast. Even though part of the reason for the title of this series is to poke fun at ourselves - and even though each movie that we will be discussing in this series does not live up to its predecessor - there are a few important things that we want to mention. First of all, the originals of the movies that we will be discussing (The Evil Dead, The Fog, and RoboCop) are all incredible movies and it would almost be impossible for any movie to live up to the reputation. And this leads into the second point...just because "newer isn't always better" does not inherently mean that newer is bad. Sure, it is hard for them to stack up to the originals, but two of the movies in this series are fine in their own right (and tonight's movie, The Evil Dead, does have some incredibly great aspects). And finally, we do not want this series to come across as just bashing remakes. We will be providing our honest opinions (good and bad), but we will not be hating on a movie just to hate on a movie. So, with all of that in mind, we hope that you enjoy the start of a new year at Video Monsters with our series "Newer Isn't Always Better" and tonight's episode, Evil Dead (2013)!!
