Summary

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS carries its director’s fingerprints more clearly than most films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but is it ultimately more of a Sam Raimi movie or an MCU installment? We hash out that question this week with the continued assistance of our friend Matt Singer, before bringing back in what is unquestionably a Sam Raimi film, 1993’s ARMY OF DARKNESS, to compare how the two movies operate as vehicles for the director’s filmmaking sensibility, as sequels, and as Bruce Campbell showcases. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ARMY OF DARKNESS, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to [email protected]. We may respond to it on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes, recommendations, and more. Outro music: The Lovin Spoonful, “Do You Believe In Magic?” Next pairing: Robert Zemeckis’ WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT and Akiva Schaffer’s CHIP ’N’ DALE: RESCUE RANGERS A CHIARA opens exclusively in theaters Friday, May 27.

0:40.5	Yeah. Wow. This is, this is turning into a real rivalry. This is something, something here.
0:46.2	Some unfinished business. That's exactly what I'm saying. There is something here.
0:50.4	If that's what I'm saying. If that's something happens to be a severed hand that looks like Keith's that's crawling around and attacking you, we had nothing to do with that.
