About this listen

Troy and Roger dive into Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell (2009), a horror ride that mixes jump scares with slapstick in only the way Raimi can. They unpack the plight of Christine Brown, a loan officer whose one bad choice leads to a curse that makes her life.....well....absolute hell. From gross-out gags involving dentures and goats to the unforgettable showdown with Mrs. Ganush, the guys revel in the film’s balance of camp and terror. They also dig into the morality at the film’s core, questioning whether Christine really deserved her fiery fate. Along the way, they gush over Raimi’s signature style, the film’s inventive sound design, and that jaw-dropping ending. It’s a conversation that proves horror doesn’t always have to be serious to still pack a punch.
