00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.559 Camp is good. 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:39.119 When Bruce Campbell is allowed to be Bruce Campbell, it's so good. 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:39.920 He's so much better. 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.160 I mean I'm gonna try it because you guys are saying it. 00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:49.839 What I'm telling you is that Evil Dead one, two, and Army of Darkness are not the best Evil Dead franchise things. 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.839 Uh Ash vs the Evil Dead is the best. 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.119 That's the TV series. 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:54.160 That's the T Vol series. 00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:54.640 Yep. 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:58.240 Um That's the best uh that's the best Evil Dead thing, in my opinion. 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:10.640 Um spe speaking of Bruce Campbell, yeah, the reason that this podcast came, this episode came to be for my podcast, is the announcement of Bruce Campbell uh having cancer. 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.799 Knocking, knock, knocking on death's door. 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.160 Yeah, and he's not gonna fight it. 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.599 He's like, uh you know, if you have cancer or you don't. 00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:27.200 Like I think he said, like specifically, I'm trying to remember the wording he used, is like some people get cancer and they fight it, and some people get cancer and they don't, and I'm not gonna fight it. 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:29.680 Like he's just like gonna see I respect him for that. 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.160 Yeah, he's lived his life, he lived a great life. 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.680 He's still doing interviews and stuff. 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:38.000 I don't think he's doing much acting anymore, but like you know, he's oh he's retired from acting. 00:20:38.319 -->
