What better way to rebound from Halloween than with the man himself, Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, Ash vs. Evil Dead).
Bruce joins us this week and sheds light on the idea of his “third act” in life and how much it differs from his early Hollywood pursuits.
We also get into some reflections on the Evil Dead franchise, his state of burnout during Ash vs. Evil Dead, and moments of rage/ frustration while shooting on set.
BRUCE CAMPBELL (2020) | Inside of You Podcast w/ Michael Rosenbaum #insideofyou

[@InsideOfYouPodcast]

Good friend of the show Bruce Campbell from the Evil Dead franchise. Hope this provides a little escape from the craziness of today. Support the show!

[@C_R_Z]

Thanks for the content Michael!!

[@corinalawson266]

Gladly :)

[@jimmyxwolvie9208]

Hey Michael, in recent months, Milana Vayntrub (The AT&T Girl) has been harassed online about her body and I feel like he needs someone to talk to to help her get through this. Can you please interview her one day? I don't want her to do anything she'll regret.

[@lawrencerinehart5747]

Wow!... You could do a whole show doing impressions. The ones on this were hauntingly great!

[@klyanadkmorr]

Pandemic watching old movies, saw an old one of Roger Moore in his 20's with cowboy actor Clint Walker, kept thinking Clint reminded me of someone modern .... he looks like a mutant cross of *BRUCE CAMPBELL* & Tom Welling!! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3rOn6x-hMl-d7M -- celebwiki.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/clint-walker_229968.jpeg

[@Zeioth]

Bruce shuld be waaaaaay more valued than he is as an actor.

[@robofisk7625]

oh, he is.

[@xPhantomxify]

Maybe he is valued enough, any more and he might be one of those self absorbed actors.

[@DeleteTheWeak]

I think he is. He’s a cult icon, probably the biggest there is. I think he could be used more though because I love seeing him

[@oldrestless]

Hes a legend. People line up for hours and hours to be in his presence. Undervalued? Not at all. Praised like a hero more like it

[@kingslavd661]

Sad that he wasn't enjoying and that Ash vs. Evil Dead ended prematurely. He was also great in Burn Notice.

[@notsure8745]

Great in everything, it's truly fascinating, acting or being himself. And seems like a guy I'd have a beer with at the bar.

[@johnmanor5236]

I am a Michigan man and we hold Bruce and Sam (Raimi) high esteem here. There is a lot of pride, not just because they make cool films that we love, but more so that they do it in an industry full of assholes yet still manage to be unaffected by it all. We love it when they come back into town to visit - keep up the great interviews Michael they are a much needed diversion in all of this madness!

[@ViperChief117]

Bruce Campbell is the heart and soul of the Evil Dead franchise. I absolutely loved the films and TV series.

[@JK.47]

Something about Bruce's voice it's so catching and you just want to hear him talk

[@shel0016]

Very true. Love his work and he's always seemed down to earth

[@iluvyunie]

He reminds me of the GTA radio stations I don't always know where it's going but I definitely gotta keep listening

[@jasonprice5281]

Does anyone know if he has own podcast?...I think He'd be great at is...This dude has the coolest stories to tell

[@thelivingjed9676]

I remember when I first played Spider-man and Spider-man 2 on the PS2, and Bruce would walk you through the tutorial sections. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I was like, this guy's got a cool voice and he's funny. There's a section where he's talking about wall crawling and he says something like, 'If you don't stick to walls then you're just a man, is that what you want to play? "-Man 2?'

[@TheMsLourdes]

I met Bruce once in Jersey about twenty years back at an impromptu Evil Dead showing, and he was the nicest, down to earth guy, I have ever met. We sat and talked for a bit and he shared about why he doesn't like to do autographs (something prominent on his website), so when the conversation paused after the big spiel I asked him to autograph something for my friend standing right behind me, and he smiles his ass off and signed a picture for my friend "To (my friend's name) who doesn't think he's seen anything good today." Bruce is the kind of guy that if you ever have the opportunity to sit down with for any length of time, he's interesting, interested, and he listens. So these assclowns that nitpick him and all, they miss out so hard and that is their punishment. He's easily one of the best people to spend time with and absolutely approachable.

[@eamonndeane587]

Even his 60s, Bruce Lorne Campbell is still "GROOVY"!

[@Lerah99]

Bruce Campbell + Michael Rosenbaum = Best Podcast ever! This is just a winning combination. Thank you for a fantastic distraction from a stressful election day.

[@leannepritchett6323]

Bruce seems like a cool guy with a lot of fascinating stories to tell. Definitely looking forward to hearing some😊

[@InsideOfYouPodcast]

lotta good ones this week :)

[@cinemasianx]

Gotta love that it seems his wardrobe for Burn Notice is all his own clothes... 😂

[@troywalkertheprogressivean8433]

ash vs evil dead series was amazing 👍

[@obsidxanx1]

Exactly the show was amazing I was kinda bummed the crew didn’t meet again together for the last time ash just said goodbye and never saw them again n life is so boring without the show

[@obsidxanx1]

I’m just gonna rewatch the show again

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

Not a fan of horror, so I was wishing it was more of Army of Darkness. But Kelly+ Pablo was the best part, wish they stuck with the S-mart more

[@goopah]

This could have been a 4-hour talk, and I'd have still watched the whole thing. Bruce has so many fascinating stories.

[@FlyingWithSpurts]

I'll never forget the day my friends and I all took a group picture with Bruce at a signing for "If Chins Could Kill" back in Arizona. It was just the coolest experience ever for us. Some of them saw him at Cons years later and gave him copies of the picture.

[@XenaWarrior95]

Love Bruce Campbell. Loved him in Xena and Burn Notice was a great show too. Hope he doesn’t give up on acting all together.

[@albertevers6932]

Jack of all trades also

[@fnvkamnoq2841]

The good old Blankity Cage effect.

[@DatCheeseCake]

He's still voice acting, good idea considering the physically aged part. Put off watching the series because I hate when shows that have good ratings get cut short, but damn that show is majorly binge worthy

[@TheMsLourdes]

@@albertevers6932 Criminally underrated Tv show.. That show from the get, especially the theme song, was en pointe.

[@marmadjuk]

Who can for God sake give Bruce Campbell a DISLIKE. This man is LEGEND

[@godsdemon7441]

I guess they don't care for his essays or are pissed he quit Ash series.

[@irgendeinashmain6608]

I dont know he is a great guy!

[@irgendeinashmain6608]

Do you have this feeling too? Like you all ways want to hear ash (bruce campells) voice you know what i mean

[@russfoulkes5490]

​@@godsdemon7441ah, so you mean Petty people?

[@peterburman5193]

I am sad to hear that Bruce got burned out. But I'm glad he's doing things his way now! As long as he's happy, that's what matters.

[@nickbotic]

Hail to the King baby!

[@quatz1981]

I could sit and listen to Bruce Campbell all day long, the guy never gets boring. Great guy.

[@prestonrutherford873]

You've been having an insane streak of great guests for about 2 months now. Keep up the great stuff man!

[@iwuzabear8241]

This has literally become my new favorite podcast. Your guests just keep getting better and better and you ask them such interesting questions. Thank you for all your hard work

[@painkiller1968]

Not figuratively?

[@WickedZen]

Love Bruce Campbell. From MI and watched Army of Darkness with my boys so many times we wore out the VHS. Throw quotes around all the time. Also, the movie he mentioned was “The Wretched”.

[@ElysiaFields19]

Absolutely one of the best pod casts. Bruce is so much fun to listen to. He seems so underrated as an actor. The man has such great stories to share!

[@aspensplace3293]

A brilliantly done interview with a truly independent film maker. Wonderful, entertaining fare.

[@BigBadGato]

Bruce Campbell seems like a guy that would get his morning paper in a house coat, slippers and a shotgun.

[@Chainsawhappy]

Yet in real life, he has admitted he doesn't own a single gun.

[@BigBadGato]

@@Chainsawhappy Ohhh don't be a douche and ruin it, just use your imagination.

[@DanzNewz]

The good old Blankity Cage effect.

[@shel0016]

Lol I think he did mean Eric Roberts on that one. He actually admitted you meet his fee he will act in anything

[@daniccus]

came to say this lol

Bruce Willis

[@fat_spaniel_]

lol! that was my first thought!

[@patrickfairchild2330]

Campbell is a true treasure - A true raconteur - I'd see or read any thing he does - I'd LOVE a bio.

[@paulfinn3067]

he has two.......

[@pterodactylpie8825]

Love it!!! Bruce Campbell is a legend and I love he’s got his own mountaintop in Oregon!

[@CallegriaofSoulbound]

Bruce Campbell literally just explained why people are pushing against the corporate America and work life balance. THIS is a perfect example of what people are seeing and forcing change. This is why companies can't get employees, they learned the lesson Act 3 hasn't been coming so they are going to force it to happen. Thanks Bruce!

[@josephbeene2728]

" Shop Smart. Shop S mart ." Love this 😈🔥

[@MandleRoss]

"My best friends are bartenders." Never change, Bruce!

[@willdonahuedirector3154]

in December 2019 for new years I decided that every Tuesday I will listen to the inside of your podcast. I did just that! probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Hope you enjoy it!

[@ericharris1853]

Wish there was a 4 and a 5 season of ash vs the evil dead

[@zachbishop9839]

If they'd greenlit two more seasons, then to save money they should be animated on adult swim. Or on Netflix.

[@ericharris1853]

Hell yes I wood watch them if they did that if it's a anime or cartoon they can have marvel characters in it as see the evil dead comic book is owned by marvel

[@cbikle]

Little known fact, Bruce almost got the part of Superman in the 90's Lois & Clark show, but the showrunners decided to go with Dean Cain.

[@danielr01206]

Kevin Sorbo was also up for the role of Clark

[@erinskelly3714]

Bruce would have been so much better ad Superman than Dean Cain.

[@reidmason2551]

@@erinskelly3714 The Superman costumes for *Lois & Clark* were absolutely terrible. Nobody could have made those suits look good. Regardless of who played the role, the costume design would have let them down.

Really enjoying these podcast Michael. Keep it up man. You're doing an amazing job covering everything from regular life to the film business, to relationships, grief, anxiety, humor, and getting in the heads of those you bring on. Nice to see the folks whether in person or on video while covid is happening.

[@scottcourtright548]

I met Bruce at his home when he lived in Bell Canyon CA. In the 90's Did an hour job there. He was very friendly and humble. We had a great conversation (non-industry stuff). I was pleasantly surprised when he gave me a signed The Adventures of Brisco County Jr poster. A treasure I still have.

[@catalino8010]

I went to the convention center in Vancouver , I got an autograph from Bruce "keep groovy", I was talking and he's yeah yeah, true yah , aha :) , simply I just love his character, his emotional assertive masculine character is uplifting, hes funny in his way , from all the actors , he is one that stays on a pedestal for me , noting compares and great honor to shake his hand

[@negation1978]

Woohoo! Looking forward to this (as usual) Bruce has a way with words and I just love his stories. Can’t wait to hear what he talks about this time.

[@GameplayandTalk]

That was an awesome, fun interview!

[@stevenlennon12]

i was 8 years old in 72 and Gene Hackman was my first favorite actor. When he dies in Poseidon adventure i was devastated. i loved it so much and i made my father take me 3 times to see it. (yes we sat in the smoking section lol) so the next Gene hackman film that came out i just had to get my father to take me to see it. it was called Scarecrow and it was as far away from the reverend Scott character in the Poseidon Adventure as u can get lol. its because of Gene Hackman and my father that i had such an advanced "pallet" for different movies at such an early age. Thanks Dad thanks Mr Hackman. :)

[@BurningRobotOil]

Love listening to/watching this podcast, Michael. Funny story, my cousin is mentioned in one of Bruce's books. I believe it's If Chins Could Kill, where Bruce mentions a lanky fellow with a prosthetic leg whom he met at a convention or something. Bruce told a Leg joke (why actors say break a leg, then they could be in the cast). My cousin Jason chuckled. Rather anti-climactic, He still has his green prosthetic leg signed to this day. Anyways, Micheal. Awesome show. Keep it up, sir. All the best.

[@falkorn9866]

Also the guy in the green shirt keeps reminding me of how thick my hair was before I turned 18 and it started thinning out every year and at 31 I'm on all kinds of dht blocking medications and hair thickeners and vitamins sigh I miss being 17 years old 😞🤣 Awesome video mate 💯😎👌
