Summary

🌌🌌🌌 Paul and Stephen are joined by raconteur, actor, author and Hawaiian shirt expert, Bruce Campbell. Tune in to hear about the first time he smoked weed on the set of Evil Dead (yes he got high), how moonshine was used to keep warm, and how Bruce keeps himself amused at horror film conventions. Plus, that time he went in search of the BigFoot trap near his house in Oregon, and heard an eyewitness account from a Sasquatch true believer (he met in a bar). Go deep with our hosts as Bruce explains how perception is changed by shape-shifting realities, and hear the precise moment Bruce found cosmic wisdom while sitting in an epic LA traffic jam. Oh yes and that time Bruce saw a UFO during a phone interview! Stay tuned for tales of the paranormal and ghostly entries from Bruce’s grandfather’s WWI diary. It’s all on this week’s Chinwag with The Chin himself! Paul Giamatti is an award-winning actor and producer. Stephen Asma is a professor and author specializing in the philosophy of science, religion, and art. Bruce Campbell is an actor and filmmaker who played Ash Williams in the hit horror cult franchise Evil Dead. He’s also a prolific author who wrote back-to-back New York Times Best Sellers, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, and Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way. 🌌🌌🌌 ========= Vocab Chin-Word of the Week: TRANSCENDENTALISM ========= New eps of CHINWAG drop Wednesdays for free... n(🧊) Make sure to follow us @chinwagpod 👉🏼 IG: https://www.instagram.com/chinwagpod/ Tik: https://www.tiktok.com/@chinwagpod Website: http://chinwagpod.fm YOUTUBE x CHINWAG Playlists ▶️ YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@chinwagpod Full episodes playlist: https://bit.ly/chinwagYT Animated shorts: https://bit.ly/chinwaganimations Send your stories, Qs, or thoughts to 📧 questions [at] chinwagpod [dot] fm Learn more about your ad choices.
