The discussion centers around the movie "Jason X," set in the year 2455, where a group of students unwittingly brings the notorious killer Jason Voorhees aboard their spaceship, leading to a series of comedic and terrifying events. The hosts incorporate humor through recurring jokes tied to the movie's trailer, exploring the absurdity of combining slasher horror with a sci-fi setting.
Key takeaways
- Jason X: the space odyssey no one asked for, proving that horror can also be bad science fiction.
- In 2001, 'Jason in Space' wasn't a cinematic leap, just a desperate leap of franchise imagination.
- If schlocky horror movies can go intergalactic, what's next? 'Fast and Furious: Mars Drift'?
- The real horror? Movies consistently recycling tired concepts instead of boldly venturing into new narratives.
- Ironic twist: fans often celebrate mediocrity, reminding us that sometimes, terrible films are simply beloved.

Full transcript with timestamps
Hey everybody. Before we start today's podcast, um I want to let you in on a little thing here. Uh before the shows, we normally play the trailer of the movie we're about to talk about. It figures very prominently into today's show, the trailer. So, I want to play you the trailer right now so you understand a reoccurring joke that happens throughout this podcast. Enjoy. In the year 2455 on a routine training mission, a team of students is about to discover a life form frozen in time.
Wow. They're on their way back. Prepare for donkey and power up the lab. You brought him on board.
Everything's under control, man. What the hell is going on? Jason Forhees. That's what's going on.
He's an unstoppable killing machine. Guys, it's okay. He just wanted his machete back.
How do we get off the ship? I don't know. Look, we're going to be all right. What are you high?
Uh-oh. He's here. You have got to get them out of there. Hey, Slappy. I think we're finally okay. What the hell is that? You've got to be kidding me. Oh wow.
It's been modified. Oh, you think you guys might want to run the go. I don't think he's out there. Why don't you just stick your head out and have a peek
in space? No one can hear you say we saw Jason 10. So you know what that means? Dreaming hot swagger grow baby in his belly rock a rhstone vest while ripping just in the Kelly or maybe see a burles show with crow and take a ble hitting cruise control J man big Paul in the beautiful June going to take you from the groove all the way to the room ran the games and street fighting hope to blow off steam just a sucker punch the odd life of Timothy green sharp n the bird demic how we staying alive they calling in the bad ass and he's on the line cranking 88 minutes cuz they cool as ice cuz a bad Jim Barney looking kind of nice. Paul and June getting literal. Jason is getting laid. Jun is making sure all the monkey shots getting paid. They judge a bunch of movies while they making the grade. Here's a real question for you.
How did this get made? Hello people and hello people of Largo. We are live here in Los Angeles at Largo at the Cornet, our LA home. And we love this place. It's so fantastic. If you're in LA, come check out a show here. Not just our show, but the many amazing shows that are here. We have an amazing audience, a 10:00 audience. I know the people at home, they don't know what that difference is, but you guys bring the heat. You're a little bit more drunk. You're a little bit more off. And we appreciate it. We need it because today is our Halloween episode. And what better way to celebrate Halloween than with the death of a franchise. Um, here to talk to me tonight uh about this film is my co-host Jason Manukus.
Welcome. What's up, jerks? Welcome, Jason. Thank you, Paul. Jason, a movie of your namesake. Oh, thank God. Finally. Finally, all of the requests for this movie franchise to be talked about so that my name could be in it have been answered. And here we are. Jason X. Now,
the movie about Jason For and Malcolm X combined into So many people So many people had the Jason X hat.
Yeah. Uh, so many people. Um, Jason, uh, where do you fall in the Friday the 13th? When I tell you zero,
yeah, a lot of my notes are reminders to ask you guys or the nerds what what the myth I it took me until the very end of the movie to be like, "Oh, right. No, Jason is the main character." Well, cuz I was like, I think he's going to kill all the people. But here's the thing. I find myself in the same camp. I've seen a handful of Jason movies. I think one of our guests tonight will have a little bit more knowledge than us. But I believe that someone with our knowledge level wrote this movie. Like it didn't feel like it was a lot of deep dive. No, the person watched Aliens, rewrote it, and instead of an alien, it was Jason, and they were like, "That's the [ __ ] movie."
I literally android, there's a ship, and there all of it. It's the same. I literally feel like it was a fever dream that happened in 2001, like Jason in space. And then that was about all the thought processing.
I feel like like I feel like there was a phone call at one point. They was like, "Hey, you remember when you said Jason in space is a joke. We're going to do it." And the person was like, "I don't think you should." I was very much joking. There was an odd time though because uh the Leprechaun franchise, a movie we also did here on the show, uh also went to space. Leprechaun in space. I feel like there was a couple moments we're like, "Ah, [ __ ] it. I don't know. Put them on space.
Heightening. It's like that's that's just heightening. Well, where else do we got to go?
Space. Oh, I guess so. Um I guess that's what we're doing. Well, to Fast and Furious and Space,
by the way, I don't want I don't want to take credit for this. I think Fast 10 is a mashup of the Fast and Furious movies with Apollo 10.
I'll take it. I I don't want to say that we did this, but I believe that we mentioned that it should be in space in our podcast and then one reporter finally got a question to FGary Gray about it during the press tour and he's like, "You never know." It wasn't like no.
Yep. It was almost like by additional writing by How Did This Get Made podcast.
Get us WTA arbitration. Do it. Um, let's bring in inside union writing union jokes, right,
guys? We have a lot of specific material about arbitration, uh stories characters
after writers guild, healthcare plans. We struck, we won. We're ready to go back.
There were writers guild east and a west. Unclear. What if this whole show just became really a deep dive into who who gets all the credits? Uh, stool. Based on this is based on a story by obviously characters.
Screenplay by someone else. There you go. Uh, tonight is a How Did This Get Made allstar performance, which means that we have not one but two guests who have been on the show before and uh are coming back again. Our first guest uh you know this guy from the show Transparent on Amazon. Uh you also know him from uh movies like The House and Baywatch, but more importantly as a brand new YouTube Red series that he created. Please welcome Rob Hub.
I realized I realized that I just said that you created a YouTube show, but I didn't give you the name. It's called
No, don't say the name of it. And it fits and it fits in perfectly here. Do you want to see a dead body?
That's right. And uh you can be watching that on YouTube Red right now. Right now when this when this comes out, this is uh right now. Rob, I believe that you have a a deep knowledge base of Jason.
I heard you say that. That's not true. No, really. No, you're not. You don't have like a
uh No, I like horror movies, but not I I don't like not not especially like like these were not. But I will say I like the song in the trailer, little boys hit the floor. Little boy. And and if I'm not wrong, you are going to sing our second opinions theme tonight later, right?
If the theme is in the Let the opinions hit the floor. Um but but I I I appreciate um uh uh I don't have a huge knowledge.
You don't I I I I've watched a bunch of them, but I was very little. Okay. Well, then I will move you into another story then.
I was a little boy. But you do have you did almost uh severely injure yourself while wearing a Jason mask though, right? I have a scar. Only you would know that story. Uh I have a scar on my face um that I [ __ ] you. I have a scar on my face from a uh what I thought would be a funny prank when I was in college. Uh, a bunch of us went away on like a a date situation. A bunch of couples went to a This sounds crazy.
Is this an orgy? I was hoping Oh, I hope my wife doesn't listen to this. Uh, it was college, but anyway, uh I we all went away for a weekend um to a summer camp. somehow someone rented out this summer camp or like and so it was like, you know, 20 couples and uh so I was very excited. I'm going to keep this very brief. I didn't know you were going to say that.
And uh I I thought, "Oh, well, I got to scare everybody." Like I do love being scared and I love scaring people. So I uh I brought a hockey mask and I brought a uh a long blonde wig and I brought a hatchet with me. And so the first night, you know, it was college, like everyone's drinking and smoking weed and partying and I was like, it got really late and I was like, "Oh, I can't wait. I can't wait to scare everybody." And so I put on my hockey mask and my wig and I went up and everybody was down in this like one um like cabin. And I remember like sitting there like getting fullon cane hotter, like just like like really. And I started so I my I had my hatchet and my [ __ ] wig and I was like running and I was my plan was I was just going to like burst into this cabin and like scare everyone. Well, I got I was running like as fast as I could and uh all of a sudden I thought someone stepped out from behind a tree and hit
me in the face with a baseball bat. What it actually was, it was a children's summer camp where we were and I ran into a clothesline like a wire like a old rusty wire full speed like as fast as I can run and I can run like 60 70 mph like a leopard. So knocked off my Anyway, I have a scar in my face. Thank you for that. I will say that story in that story you do use the name of the actor who plays Jason.
I do know which means you know more about this movie franchise than I Well, we have a good Kane hotter story.
Yeah, we'll see. But we'll tell Kane hotter as we get into it. Our second guest tonight uh fantastically uh funny performer. She does a show here at Largo, but she has a uh a movie right now on Amazon Prime. It's called Landline. You can watch it right now. It's fantastic. She also is one of the stars of the new Netflix series Big Mouth. Please welcome Jenny Slate.
Welcome. Welcome, Jenny. Hi. Now this you are the person that now I felt bad that we made you watch this cuz you are not you're not watching horror movies
furious. I I really didn't know that this would be the kind of movie and in fact
I feel like I we we got you to agree. Let me tell you what that he was texting to see if I was feeling okay cuz I had the flu for like 90 years and and then it was like in the are you okay blah blah blah do you want to do the show? I was like okay. And then I get a very formal email from Paul saying, "Be here then, da da. The movie is Jason X." I was like, "You've got to be kidding me. I watched it a couple hours ago. I'm literally dressed like a a a man because I I felt I felt like like so scared. I like put my largest clothes on just to leave." So, so you felt as though you had no recourse from fear other than to dress as a man.
In theory, look at the world around you. In theory, in theory, protecting yourself from certain doom cuz the killer would be like, "Oh, it's not a pretty girl. It's just some man."
Yeah. It's just a scared man. No one wants to talk to him. Who gives a hoot about that stuff?
Who cares about that? Who gives a crap about that? I will I will say though, I think you got off really easy because on the scare factor, this is not that scary at all.
It's not scary at all. Not scary. There's a couple of gross out moments, but that's really it.
A lot of gross stuff. I would say I would say the gross stuff has nothing to do with killing
and Jason. I would say that there's two that I can think of and they both have to deal with nipples.
Oh. Yeah. Let the bodies hit the floor. What really stunned me about this film and really the my mouth was open the whole time. I just can't believe any of it. But that um at the beginning when they're trying to decide whether or not to freeze. First of all, I don't understand why Jason's so upset, but that's another thing. But secondly, and I haven't seen any of Jason's other movies, but they're like, "Should we freeze him? Should we not?" And then the scientist goes, "This is the grossest thing I've ever heard.
I want him soft." Yeah. You want it? No, I wrote that down, too. I don't want Well, first of all, let's just even step it back and go.
No, no, no. You were right. I'm just saying that Crystal Lake was a campground. And when this movie opens, it's the Crystal Lake Research Facility. So, in some years, this like kids camp has now become like a science.
That checks out. That totally checks out. You know what? I will get on board for that. Why? Other than our main, the main woman who lives to be in the future with him. You've got Jason. You've got like six dudes that he kills. And then it's giant facility with nobody else in it. That is completely It's a very big facility. It's enormous.
With the scientist that looks sort of like Matthew Modí, I was like, "Is that?" No, it's not.
No, it's David Croninberg. No, no, no. Not Oh, yeah. That's David Croninberg. In the very
in the beginning, the guy that the guy that's like, "Don't you worry about it." Okay, great. Blah, blah, blah. That's David Croninberg.
Well, by the way, David Croninberg, I was like, "Oh, no. Croninberg." And Croninberg sets up.
He was there for like a day then. Oh, I think an hour and a half. He was there. He was there for 45 seconds.
Croninburgg sets up something that I don't believe is canon of Jason. And here you go. Take a listen.
What are you doing here? I'm taking the specimen. Well, you can't. I have a cryostasis chamber.
I don't want them frozen, Rowan. I want them soft. We've already discussed this.
Yeah, well, I had to go over your head. I'm moving him to our grand facility. Dr. Bormer, you can't risk transporting him through open country.
This isn't open for discussion. His unique ability to regenerate lost and damaged tissue, and it just it cries out for more research.
And you're willing to risk the deaths of innocent civilians if he escapes. Yes, but I'm I'm sure Sergeant Marcus and his men can handle the transfer just fine. Sergeant,
everything's under control, ma'am. You know what? We're not going to light him at all. We're going to have Croninberg late and the other guy, he's in the shadow.
The other guy looks like uh the guy who was like Rambo's buddy in Rambo. But uh uh but no, but I think I didn't know that was a part of Jason's like lore that he could just regenerate like a vampire
without the movie. It's as if Jason Vorhees is Wolverine. Yeah, it's And that I don't think I don't know if they ever said it per se, but it's like implied that like he can unkillable. Yeah.
Is he a ghost? Is he dead? Does he have a soul? First of all, I don't understand.
I wrote these questions. Does Jason What is Jason? I wrote Croninberg exclamation point. What is Jason?
Which for me is an existential note, right? That's not even about the film. I No, that was not about the film. That was just your stuff.
That was a I just That's from when I was just looking at myself in the mirror. My my f the the first thing I wrote down the the the writer who wrote this is named Todd Farmer and I wrote keep your day job farmer
and I'm not going to say that is he's a farmer. He's a farmer. He is a farmer. Um but because I mean Jason has no motivation as a character. He is just like he's like um this is the dominant movie. Like it's it would be
Did he ever Did he ever I asked my friend who I watched the movie with cuz I was too afraid to watch it alone.
Got friends. I'm sorry. I can't help it. Uh love being popular. I mean, come on.
I get it. I watched it alone. I had an existential crisis. I get it. You have friends.
I was telling Go ahead, sir. Well, he said that Jason got pushed into a lake a long time ago and he's upset.
It's not. But that's what guys, that's what I heard. That's what I heard. But Jenny say that right when he wakes up right now. Your friends are morons.
Well, I will say that on the commentary track, the the writer did admit to never seeing the other movies.
Wow. And here, if you want a quick if you want a quick look back at the Jason films, part one, uh Jason's mother is Jason. She's stalking and murder is Jason. Yes, she's wearing the mask and she is stalking and murdering the teenagers of Camp Crystal Lake uh because uh Jason drowned in the lake due to their negligence. Yeah.
So, that's a cool idea. She's decapitated at the end. A revenge story for the mother.
So, let's go let's go to outer space. No. And then part two, Jason is alive and he's a fully grown man. He returns to Crystal Lake to guard it from intruders. 5 years after the events of the first film, Jason murders a new group of campers. And then the final girl finds a shrine in the woods to Mrs. Vorhees head. And then Jason uh kills her with a machete.
This reminds me of when I was a little boy. Oh, no. She killed She kills Jason with a machete. Part three, Jason removes the machete from his shoulder and finds his way to a local farm where he hides in the barn and kills anyone who comes in and then finds a hockey mask to hide his face. And then it seemingly
that's when the hockey mask arrives. Well, I mean, there's no hockey mask in previous movies.
I think they had to be. Maybe. Was it? Oh, wow. You shut your mouth. So, thank you for that information.
Wait, what? It's almost at the end of the third movie. Oh, it's almost at the end. So, Jason finds hockey.
In the early movies, what is he wearing on his dumb face? A bag. You see him from the back?
Bag. A bag. Oh yeah, he's wearing like he's wearing like a burlap set. Like a burlap set?
Yeah. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah. Wait, for real? First movie. He's not wearing anything. It's just his mom.
His mom's nude. Not for nothing. Considering yourself about to be watched Friday the 13th one.
So if you can't nude moms in this movie, what do you think my preferred channel on Pornhub is? So, if you if you couldn't hear it clearly enough, uh first movie, Jason's mom is wearing nothing.
Yeah. Second movie, Jason's wearing a bag over his head. Third movie, bag until hockey mask. Then we go into uh he's seemingly killed by an axe to the head in part three. Then the final chapter starts with Jason killing everyone in the morg that he's taken to. Then he returns.
Wait a minute. Killing everyone in the morg is they're already gone. Sounds like a bit redundant. I we both really, you know,
and then he open the drawer, stab stab stab. It's to build up his self-confidence. He was he was to Jason's point, he did get an axe in his head, so he thought those people were alive. Um, then he returns to Camp Crystal Lake, kills everyone, and then a character named Tommy, who's at the cabin near the camp, kills Jason. Then a new beginning starts with Jason with Tommy being committed to a mental institution while copycat takes on Jake's Jason's Jason's likeness. Then Jason lives.
Wait, Tommy becomes Jason? Yes. Then Tommy visits Jason's grave and accidentally resurrects him.
Wait a minute. Accidentally resurrects him. I think there was like a lightning bolt.
Yeah, lightning strikes the grave. I was such a little boy. And then thinking about you.
By the way, lightning and electricity can reanimate anyone. Always, always, always.
And then it gets crazy. Then he's like chained, put to the bottom of the lake. Then part seven, Jason's telekinetically resurrected by Tina who was trying to bring back her father.
I want to see her. And then Tina returns Jason to the bottom of the lake. And then part eight, Jason goes to Manhattan.
Oh [ __ ] where he where he works where he works for Meyer Street and his and is dating Adrien Gier.
Not a lot of people know that Jason Vorhees was originally cast in The Devil Wears Prada and they shot 30% of the movie with him and we're like it's not working. Then he's melted by toxic waste and then uh and Jason goes to hell the final Friday. Jason is res resurrected, but we don't know why. The FBI is hunting him and then kills him. He survives by possessing different beings until his niece stabs him with a magic dagger and sends him to hell. So that's
Wait, isn't there a uh a Jason Freddy movie? Yes. But that's not canon. Oh, that that is a side that's like a oneoff.
That's like the New Hope. That's like a side movie going, you know. Not New Hope, I mean Rogue One. Sorry. Oh. Oh. Oh sorry.
Well, Rogue One is still canon. Just a side move. He's not part of your trilogy.
Um, can I ask a question? Yeah. And I we might not have answers, but one of these dildos might.
When and why is he obsessed with his machete? And also, where did it come from in this movie?
He's all chained up. His old one that he sees on the He's all chained up in the prison. And then when he's free, he's like, "Got my machete."
Yeah. I say when he's frozen. Before they freeze him though. Before they freeze him, he's all chained up in the opening scene. Right.
Also, is the opening credits take place in hell? Inside the body. Ah, okay. Okay. I I was wasn't paying good enough to
That was like Inner Space. Have you seen the movie Inner Space? Yes. And not to bring up that I obviously watched this with a very cool friend, but um that's what my friend said.
Oh, really? Yeah. Am I your cool friend? No, I watched it with another cool friend. You're cool.
I didn't watch it with anybody, so I didn't have any. Can I tell you how I watched this, Paul? Uh, we're very briefly, we're sleep training our baby right now, which don't have babies. And, uh, and so, uh, basically what that means is you just let your baby cry and and and you know, you don't go in there and then they figure out like, oh, I'm going to be okay. So, I was I was
before they realize you don't love them. So, I was watching the I was watching the movie with one headphone in right by her her room and watching the baby monitor like this and it was [ __ ] the baby monitor was what was scaring me cuz you know it's just like a little tiny person like
I will say the thing I'm like that's dumb. Okay, by the way, you need to score your baby monitor to let the bodies hit the floor. Oh no.
Hey babe, come here. Look at this. Let your body hit the floor. Just your adorable child. Like
I I watched this movie on an airplane cuz I needed to cram it in before I got back here.
Oo, never say the phrase cram it in again. Um and I was getting soft. I'd appreciate it.
Like I'm soft. Ooh, cramm it in while it's soft. I was sitting next to a child and the
my child. Yes. Who was doing fine? Uh, who was fast asleep? Fast. You're sleep training my baby on a plane.
And you know that's how that's how you're supposed to do it, by the way. They don't tell you that in the books. You take your baby train, plane train them. Um,
plane train an automobile. So, I'm watching this movie on an airplane next to a child. I feel like the first thing the kid like looks over at my iPad and sees like somebody's head get like sliced off. I'm like, "Ooh." And I kind of like cover up my iPad. And then I'm watching it further and then there's that scene with like the two girl campers and it's the only time that like real nudity is in the movie. I'm like, "Ah." And then I I turn it like this.
Real nudity earlier in the movie. very little with the robot's nipples. It was It was so clinical. Let's get to that. We'll get there. Okay. Okay. Sorry.
I have a 30 minute. I I So I I got nervous and the nudity came on with the kid that I turned my iPod uh my iPad out to the aisle, which meant that I was just flashing.
Which meant that you basically like, "Anybody want to get a look at this? Check it out. It was so I was like I was really mortified and then I was like now I'm like this [ __ ] crepo who's like watching like a Jason movie on my iPad. Like everyone's like watching like Baby Driver and Spider-Man. I'm like yeah
like you're watching like legit trash. Like and I bought I clearly bought it. It's not even on the Seatback Entertainment. He's like, I got to watch this [ __ ] either.
I don't want to watch what I don't want to watch what you've got. I've got my own what I think is better.
That's the That's the message you're sending is my watching is more important than what you have on offer and it's this.
I tried to make my note takingaking really like apparent because I just didn't want I wanted to be like, well, clearly you're doing it for some sort reason.
So, you've got like what? Like I'm a writer. A quill and a bottle of ink. taking notes. Taking notes. Well, just me taking notes.
I have a I have a just to back up a question about this opening scene and then we should probably move on. Why am I driving the podcast?
You know what? But um this is a hostile. Isn't this the scene where they go in and Jason's chained up and then they come back and you know and the and the guy puts the the coat over his face. Isn't that just stolen from Silence of the L? That is the scene from Silence of the Lambs.
Yeah. No, I I I um I I feel like this guy this writer didn't have any issue with that. He said the movie is based so much on Alien that he named one of the characters after Tom Scarret's character in the Alien film. Mikey
every single charact like the cowboy hat [ __ ] co like everybody it is it really is just a man scar
we I mean like the guy's a legend I was going to talk about alien war and then I was just like me we need more Tom Scar in the world just saying uh mustache oh I'll sit in this I don't there. All right. So, here we are. We're at Pop.
Scary. All right, let's go. So, here we are at Camp Crystal Lake research facility, a place that's seemingly uninhabited with no lights and very damp. There's like literally water on the floor. They have this test subject. He's a serial killer. They want to hold they yet let him keep his hockey mask on which seems like they would I think that you'd want to see what was under the hockey mask or you wouldn't have to let him.
There's a weird line where they where they're first assessing him where they say that hockey has been outlawed.
Well, that's from the future in 2024 was was when they when they outlawed but they don't tell us why hockey has been outlawed. H football's still going on on Earth too in this movie hockey.
Also, they he the the guy realizes it's a hockey mask and and I was like obviously they're in the future, but they're like 450 years in the future. Yeah.
Like I don't think a hockey mask would be that recognizable. No. Yeah. If it's been outlawed for that long,
but also their technology there's they're you know they're using like you know FaceTime.
They are also wearing half shirts. Yeah, they're wearing they're all in chenille sweaters.
Everybody's wearing half. Why are they wearing that in a lab? Like she's like giving him an operation in the hornest sweater. Why are they Those two dorks are so horny and then they just go and
Why don't you guys come back when you're more focused? And they're like, "Okay, we will."
Yeah. Wo. That's crazy. Transplanting all of the horniness of summer camp onto a spaceship, which is so weird. a spaceship out of a CW show. And I mean that in no offense to CW. It's just,
you know what, offense to CW, but really bad graphics. Like it's like CW on blast.
There's some awesome there's some digital blood in this that is also really bad when the guy gets his arm cut off. Like there there's some I like had to go back and go just [ __ ] try like try to make the blood spurt. the first arm that gets cut off of like the dork who by the way, why would he be allowed on that science expedition? He's like a dumbass. He's like the stupidest.
Why would they have brought him? And he said, you can't have that kind of hair if you work in a lab. Have your hair out.
I know you think it's Moose from Step Up and who? Um, who is? So basically, but we won't even know like so you know Jason is accidentally frozen. this space crew comes like salvaging Earth one, but we don't even know what this crew is. They're they don't seem like they have any job. Like in in Alien, they're like, oh, they're like space truckers essentially. Like, you know, on, you know, Serenity, they're like pirates, you know, they're kind of doing clandestine stuff. Here, it just looks like a bunch of young good-looking people who are kind of all equal scientists school. It's like a mobile school, I think.
Yeah. Oh yeah, right. There is a school element here. The guy's a professor. Professor cuz of And he loves his nipples to be
even 450 years from now, still years from now. He's wearing current day like negliges.
What was the line that the girl says about her midterm that you Oh, no. Right. When she's like, "Do it. Do it." And then he goes, "You passed."
This is like such a funny thing to say at orgasm. By the way, some of you guys,
I'm going to guess in this audience, two of you are going to have sex tonight. Scream you pass.
You pass. Or if you're listening to this on the podcast with your lover, scream you pass.
You pass. Um, let's just hear it in in real time here. Good. Right there. Harder for dad.
Come on. Come on. You pass. That device is too big. I thought when she first brought it in it was gyological equipment.
That's what I thought. I don't like this already. And then I didn't like this more than the thought of the thing that I didn't like.
What do you think? My question is, is this the tool's intended use or is this a
Maybe she just grabbed it. She's like, I'm about to see professor and just grabbed it on her way from the lab. Oh, I'm going to grab the rosé this like something that is like like hedge trimming shears in size.
The the other is she having sex? She has her underwear on. That's the other thing that I was just about to say and then I I just stopped myself cuz I was like I don't know if I can live through what I'm about to say.
You go Rob. Well, when I have sex when I have sex if you die, we will have lightning strike you to reanimate you. Uh, and then apparently this man, uh, climaxing is what awakes Jason. Like,
wait, really? Yeah. He doesn't like horniness. Yeah, that's that's the one thing that we know. He hates But he hates [ __ ] teens. He doesn't hate [ __ ] He hates teens that [ __ ] but he hates [ __ ] teens. He hates [ __ ] Hees He [ __ ] hates [ __ ] teens.
And he can smell jizz. He can smell jizz, but he immediately kills the person who was bringing him back to life, who seemed to be the only one that was doing her job.
Yeah. By the way, that was a really violent like her entire body was sucked out of a 4in hole vent.
Before she got sucked, she said, "This sucks on so many." Yeah, this sucks on so many levels. By the way, not to pull the rug out from under us, but at the beginning of the movie, they set up that they can reanimate arms and everything. Who cares if anyone gets killed? We'll bring them back.
It doesn't matter if any of us get killed. Like, why is why why would we possibly be upset? It's like, okay, except for the girl that got sucked through the through the vent. But here's my other issue with this whole movie ultimately. You bring the serial killer on. I get it. That has to be the conceit of the movie, right? You got to get this guy on. But it's a confined space where all you need to do is sound an alarm, say, "Hey, everybody, stay in your bunks." There is no seemingly zero communication between anyone at any given point.
There's no intercom. There's so many ways this could have been avoided. I mean, this movie,
you could have not asked me to watch it. Uh the the link I had could have been broken. Uh there's so many ways I could have avoided watching this. No, they are constantly. That's where I was like I had to readjust and be like, "Oh, no. These movies are this. These movies are it's all about the kills. It's all about people making dumb decisions and going to the basement when they shouldn't." Or or like when the dude is like on the run and he's like, "Wait a minute. Quick, we got to get to the shuttle, but should I [ __ ] my robot that I just made?"
That's the craziest. It's like, "Yeah, I think I [ __ ] should. How did they do the nipple effect? So that actress, they covered up her real nipples and then put fake plastic nipples on there. So much so that when they fell off, I was like, "Oh my god,
her her nipples fall off like a like your refrigerator lost magnetism." It's like zero time.
I assumed it was like a computer. It was like a computer effect. Do you think it was practical?
They feel like they're CGI. I think it's a computer. Here we go. Let's But listen to the sound they make.
Money on that. The The sound they make is what really makes it disturbing. You think?
Do you like them? They're fine. It sounds like it sounds like two seconds Jia silver dollars in the garage.
So if he did put on steel nipples, what is he getting out of that either? Like that's
also who manufactured those in space? She was like, "I want you to make me some nipples." And he was like, "I'm busy."
Really? Uh I've got a lot to say about this movie. Why is when Jason is still dead, not dead, but like Yeah. dead. Um uh uh um when they are when um Blondie, who gets smashed, uh when she is kind of doing stuff, she's, you know, carves his mask off of his face, blah blah blah. Why is the goop that leaks out of his head green?
Yeah. Why is it again? And I wrote it again. What is Jason? Also, why did she need to Why did she need to like clearly cut off the mask, but then seemingly the mask stayed like she just kind of smooshes it back on.
She puts it on in like a non-medical way. Like that's not the way a doctor would like put your thing back. Just like
putting just like just putting a sticker. She takes his eyeball out and just looks at it and then like freezes it.
Yeah. Puts it in a Yeah. Um, also sheer that I forgot this character's name. What's her name in real life? Is that Alexa? Um,
do what is it? D O Doy, I'm assuming like no. Do and so her Does anybody know what it is?
So her first line when she wakes up, she this movie was made in 2001. She wakes up in 2455. The first words out of her mouth are, "Did you get him?"
That's the first like her first order of business is not like it was cold when I was frozen. Or
well, first she clocks that guy. Where am I? Yeah, she clocks that guy first of all, which is hilarious. By the way, Jason's machete from what we under what we believe goes through like steel like cryogenic chamber like like a hot knife through butter like to to kind of get her killed too. But like that machete, somebody should look into that. That machete seems like it has some powers.
He's obsessed with this machete. Like I would argue like the machete is like his true love. It's almost as if this movie was written by someone who never saw any of the J. But this professor guy or this teacher guy, his whole motivation is it's like a weird like he just wants people to pay to see her. Remember he says like he says like oh people will pay money to see her. she was and then she goes away and then it's like or whatever and then so then he's like people pay money to see Jason like he's like some carnival animal or something which you know that's not going to work out well at all and they'll just kill everybody. Yeah. Uh it's it's a it's a weird it's a weird movie because they're just running. They're not no there's no there's no deliberate like there's no um reasoning with Jason. There's no reason why he has any grudges with any of these people. They have yet not they have not
done anything bad to him but bring him back to life. Um and well that's it's interesting. He's like a Frankenstein type figure
but there is no like um there is no understanding. It really is we're looking at it the wrong way. I think the way you're supposed to look at it is he is the hero. We're we love him. We're rooting for him for real. Like we're rooting for him and we're kill all the dums.
To kill all the dum dums while we beat off. Although this movie is very hard to beat off, too.
You can find your moment. Respectfully disappoint. What do you mean you could find?
Look, I was on a plane, so it was a little bit more challenging. Can I tell Can I tell our bummer story about Okay. The guy the actor that plays Jason in real life is named Kane Hodder. And I'm scanning the audience as if I know what he looks like. Um, so hopefully he's not here, but one time Shear and I were at uh something in New York. It was like a Comic-Con type, but but not Comic.
It was a very lowlevel horror convention in New Jersey. Yes. Like in a hotel. Wait, are you sure it was a horror convention or were you just in New Jersey? Nailed it. Wow.
That's right. New Jersey. Kaboom. How'd that feel? So, it was one of those things where you go and there people, you know, there are the signing booths and so Kane Hodder, Jason from the movie is there, you know, and you pay 20 bucks to get his autograph or whatever. So, it was very close to uh Halloween like it is not when this podcast comes out. And uh and so the the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life was a probably
Keep in mind you have a child. Yes. The cutest thing you've ever seen in your life though is this.
This is cuter than this is cuter. My child is a crybaby. Um, no. This So, so there was a mom there with like a three-year-old boy in [ __ ] fullon Jason garb tiny little overalls, tiny little hockey mask, like 3 years old, like you know, barely like doing this. And his mom is there, sees Kane Hodder there, like you know, he's got a big post or whatever, and she's like, "Go on, go on, go on up there." And so the little boy is just like and goes up there and he gets up to Kane Hodder, the person in real life, and Cain Hotter goes 20 bucks.
20 bucks to the little kid. So I I couldn't help but remember that as I was watching this movie that like, oh that guy, what a surprise that Jason is a bad dude in real life.
Edit out that pause, Paul. Take out this pause. Take out this pose. No, you know, let's just sit in this.
Take it out. Take it out. So Jason um is on this ship that has an anchor in it. The spaceship has an anchor and
Yeah, cuz you have to anchor your spaceship all the time. Otherwise, it'll float away into space. And so many rooms full of
That's why on all the space things you see that you hear them say drop anchor. Star Wars drop anchor. Star Trek Mr. Sulu drop anchor.
It's they just need to get him in rooms with chains and like giant like like they just put like a Yeah, put an anchor. We'll we'll put something on an anchor. And like that I'll I'll give into that. But what I don't like is the abuse of VR in this movie. These two kids are playing VR and Jason murders the VR orc and it like exists in the game.
Jason is able to without his own set without anything. Yeah, that doesn't make sense into the game they're in
participate and then and then when they take the masks off, he's just standing there and the the the video game disappears and he's like, "What's going on?" And to me, why not just make the smarter choice of not making the people in the future wear any sort of VR mask like like make it like a
Everybody is in a thing. Yeah. No, but they have the two guys like sitting down on like two carpets like wearing.
And why are they sitting on the floor like that? Like where is that the game room or do they just sit down?
Like they play their VR like how people 400 years ago watch television. I was more I was more psyched about those monsters in like it was such a misdirect. I was like, "Oh, cool. Now we're going to see some [ __ ] cool monsters and then it was like, "Oh, this is a [ __ ] VR sim or whatever. I don't know technology."
You know what furthers your your hypothesis that Jason is the hero is that every human being in this movie is a [ __ ] [ __ ]
Yeah. They're the only nice one is the woman who puts his mask back on. She's like, "Poor thing." Or something like that. He really ruins her head.
Yeah. And look what she got. But like they they these [ __ ] dummies singlehandedly destroy Solaris
without a care in the world. They never exist. No repercussions. How many hundreds or thousands of people?
Thousands of people they killed on that thing. Just a smash. They drove through it
and then it explodes and they're like, "Oh my god, back it up. They are awful people." And that's what and I guess that was maybe for me the thing that was giving me a little bit of tension. I was like, "Oh, these people are terrible, but Jason is the protagonist." And that's I think what I'm not used to.
Well, my that's a I mean, I'm the protagonist in my life, I feel like. So I understand where Jason could be the protagonist,
right? You just you feel like it's just about Jason. Yeah, most X. My one one of my main beefs is the poor commitment to um Jolts on the spaceship,
you know, cuz like everyone's going in a different direction. Like Solaris blows up, one guy goes that way, someone goes like this, someone else goes like whoa. You know, it's like Star Trek level, like original series Star Trek level, like
Yeah. But the robot woman is actually good at the jolt. She's got a lot of jokes that she
Lisa Ryder is her name. Lisa Ryder is far and away crushing it in this movie. Um, just interesting. We, you know, obviously one of the big reveals of this movie is when uh the robot like becomes fullon Terminator, she gets an upgrade and like upload. Sorry.
So, does that mean he just like Yeah, he just like booked it up like you're better now.
And when came to the pod and he's like, "Wait a minute." And they have like a a moment that is romantically charged, but I don't think she understands romance. No, I think she does. She loves him. That's why she wants her nipples.
Is that it? Yeah, cuz she wants to be like Janessa. Also, you memorize a character 450 years from now named Janessa
who has a fourth of a blouse, which I have a lot of trouble with. Whoa. Really?
Janessa? Yeah. The guy writing it was like, "What's the name of a sexy girl who I can who will like me?" basically like he just like you know he falls in love with her while he's writing it. He just loves Janessa.
Janessa Todd Farmer walked down the street. Yeah. He's like shoot I got to change it.
You know that like someone from Todd Farmer's past is like is this about me? And and he's like no Vanessa why would you say that?
Janessa's shirt is like the most insane garment I've ever seen in my life. Yes.
And one and and it's like it's crazy. It's just like two strips down her titties like that and then and then with like weird bolts, right? And then and also my my pants just are completely broken. But I can't I can't stand up like that.
By the way, they say that in the movie they say she says, "Don't wreck my pants."
That was a great box that should have been on the box. But there is a part where like they're doing something that's like tough and she like she like makes sure that her shirt's on as if it was ever really on
to begin with. Yeah. Like yeah, she should have been wearing something. Everyone in that spaceship should be wearing
more more. And yeah, that like it's weird to say for a horror movie, put on more clothes people
except for during the sex scene when they should be wearing less. Yeah. Even even the military people are like pornographically dressed.
Yeah. Um, I will say this is interesting. So, when Jason is uh killed, he's reformed. Now, if you listen to the podcast, uh you know, we did a movie called Virtuosity. And the way that Jason came back was an idea stolen from Virtuosity.
Wow. Literally. Yes. Truly. This is on the commentary track. The writer Tutt Farmer lifted this idea of nanotechnology from virtuosity. He said he thought it would be cool.
So, cuz it worked in that movie. Worked to us. But it's also it's not just nanotechnology. It's just ants. Like at one point they cut to like an extreme close-up and it's just [ __ ] bugs.
It's like it looks like they're robot bugs. Be robot bugs. Well, yeah, of course. But still bug. You got a bug problem. It's a [ __ ] bug problem.
Yeah. just to give you an idea of uh other other ideas that uh Jason could have been in and that instead of space these are the ideas they passed on. Um, all right. So, Jason in the hood. J
Leprechaun. Was that right? Jason in the snow. Jason underwater. Yeah. Jason in the Arctic.
The snow. Totally different, bro. Totally different. You've never been to the Arctic?
Yeah. One could be like one could be like the thing and one could be like snow day. Um, the other one Jason in LA fighting gangs. The other one, Jason on safari. And they even considered something involving the NASCAR circuit.
Wow. Yeah, that the um Did she Did you have any thoughts on the sim at the end? The Crystal Lake throwback where
that's where I was showing nudity to people on my airplane. Yeah. Yeah. That's an odd sequence because that's like one of those rare moments too where like I felt bad because it felt like gratuit like you like there's no like how could you get anyone to even do it? It's like hey so this is not integral to the part the plot. This is something like you know like what are your what are our lines? Well, you're going to yell, "We love premarital sex."
And then then we get into sleeping bags and are beaten to death with each other's body using the sleeping bag as a weapon.
So cut they cut back to Jason Vorhees and he's holding a sleeping bag with a girl in it and he's clobbering
the other girl. The other girl sleeping bag with that girl. I will say full metal jacket. I will say that there's a lot of like weird production design in it, but I did feel like the sleeping bags were not full enough. Like they felt
they didn't they didn't realize the audio the women in the audio check were like ow ow ow.
Yeah. I couldn't understand what the audio was. I was like are they is the sim glitching? Are they laughing still? Cuz they're like looking up at the camera and
also how is the sim prepared for that scenario? Yeah. Like what? I don't know that it's that that's within the I don't know.
He was he was using he the the the boyfriend of KM was using her severed head. Yes.
And somehow jacked that into the sim thing, right? And she was downloading that program. Am I wrong?
Can I also say I love KM, but I also like the scientist. I liked her boyfriend. I like that guy.
He was the most relatable character. Let's go. Let's all go around and say who our favorite dummy was.
Mine was the robot. I loved I loved her non-magnetic nipples. I loved when she became like Laura Croft Tomb Raider at the end.
I I I would go with my favorite was and I think this is him. Uh Boyd Banks who played Fat Lou who was the guy who was like, "Hey, what the hell? I'm Fat Lou.
You hack my stuff. No one ever says my name, but you know who I am." Yeah, kids in their dumb field trips. I bet I'm going to catch [ __ ] for this.
And then he gets chopped into like a gajillion pieces. Then the other guy comes up and is like, "Oh, this is a nightmare." But I've seen worse. What?
Yeah, that's never at all. Are you going to explain what the movie is that Vietnam? Like I didn't know.
No, he's seen worse in like then he refers to some war that they fought. Oh, the Microsoft people with their Microsoft
where people were fighting each other with their own limbs. Microsoft over old Zoons.
By the way, also one of my favorite lines is, "It's going to take more than a poke in the ribs to put this put put down this old dog." Flink. That ought to do it.
That was a great line. Yeah, but I feel like that's that's where that movie was weird because it's like they were going for jokes and I like that joke a lot, but then they would also like
they would treat some things like like that I think worked but then there's another move moment where like
what's his condition? He's screwed. Yes. Oh yeah. Why they have that friend? That was her friend. She should be like he's screwed.
And why were they never shocked when people were dead? They're not in a war. They're scientists. They should be like if they see one dead person that isn't like part of their lab which they don't keep clean they should be like
the only time they did that com and be like hey hey everyone the only time they did that is when they ran out like one door opens and there's like a security guard dead and then they go like I was like you don't even [ __ ] know that guy. Also, also the guy who she says he's screwed, it's a visual joke or it's a visual line for her. The person on the other end should be like, "What do you mean?"
Yeah. Wait, so what are you talking about if he laid the man has been impaled on screw?
He's like, "What do you mean?" He's He's screwed. Well, why are you saying it like that? Oh, cuz there's a giant in this room and he's actually has been impaled on a giant screw. Okay, got it. Okay,
that's good. Really? That was good. Um, let's go to the audience. Um, audience, do you have any uh questions? Things that we haven't talked about. I know we haven't talked about a lot, but uh anything at all?
The the scene where they where he is doesn't matter, sir. Your name, your question.
Uh, my name is Matt. Um, I'm just wondering if we can go over the fact that they say they executed him three times. They went from electricity to firing squad to hanging and then they just jumped to cryogenically freezing.
Well, I think that that actually makes sense. Uh, you know, I feel like at a certain point you're like, well, we can't kill him, so let's let's
freeze him. Yeah. Let's put him on hold. I think they also said that checks out. Scientifically that checks out.
No, it doesn't check out. Yes, it does. Like here's the thing. If you want that guy gone, chop him into a million pieces. They did that. They blew off his leg. They blew off his butt in this movie.
But yeah, but if the nanotechnology wouldn't have come back, he would. I mean, again, they knew that he regenerated. So why would they leave him in that room alone?
Why do they leave him on the like regeneration slides? Also, why does he regenerate?
Because the bugs. But they can regenerate all of their friends. It doesn't matter.
Um, sir, your name, your question? Uh, my name is Devin. So, in Why do we need their names, Paul?
I like it. I I like it. I like it. I like it. He's using a fake name. The people at home,
you're telling me that guy's name. Yeah, his name's Deon. Nope. I don't buy it for a [ __ ] minute. Paul. Paul.
Yeah. Get his license. Sir, let's check out your license. All right, Devin, if that's your name, your question. Um, so early when the lady that travels through or it's frozen and going through time, um,
do she, yeah, when she's getting thawed, the robot says this line that I think is just either miswritten or something. She's saying I think she's supposed to be saying cellular, but she says celery.
Wow. First of all, good good catch, Paul. Paul, that's not a question. It's not a question.
It could be observations. We're taking observations and questions. Observation.
And you're telling me she says celery. I know. Now I got to watch the whole movie again. She's going through celery regeneration.
Celery regeneration. They're I will say to Devon's points, am I fake news? It did seem like there were more than a couple flub lines that they didn't even try again.
It seemed like there was a moment when Miss Doy forgot her line and like ran into a room and was like, I we we have to get to like and I was like, "Okay, I know what that is cuz I've done that myself. You don't know what you're saying."
We got it. Let's move on. Moving on. Check the gate. Um, your fake name and your question.
Oh. Uh, well, my real name is Karine, and that sounds fake enough. So, let's just go with that.
So, when the guard or when that marine or whatever she has finds her impaled, and she's like, "Oh, he's been screwed." He hasn't even been screwed. It's a drill. Like, it's not even a screw. So, my question is, what do you guys think about that?
What about this? What about this? He's dead. This is not a drill. Oh, wait. It is.
[ __ ] you. Yeah, you got a little bit of a standing ovation. We'll give you the clever word play. All right. Your name, your question.
Uh, my name is Scott and great undercover shirt. Undercover. This is great. Um, so when the professor is with the space marine, he's like, "Do you have all your kids?" He says, "Yes, I've got them all, they immediately cut to the Bobo Holiday where they've got these idiots playing games. That's Todd Farmer. The bald idiot that gets cut in half is Todd Farmer.
Really? Oh, Todd Farmer, also the uh writer director of Drive Angry, the Nicholas Cage movie that we did in this podcast. and was also uh killed in that as well. Paul, we have not even touched on the last like minute of the movie where Jason comes.
Yeah. No, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. where Jason comes at us and then Brodzky comes in and tackles him and then like Iron Man flies him back through the atmosphere burning him up and they become a shooting star and then two horny teenagers go oh a shooting star make a Are we not going to talk about like by the way I would argue the best part of the entire movie is what you just
I think Todd Farmer started with that am I wrong friend of Todd Farmer All right, your name and your question.
Uh, my name is Rachel and I know that like the bad guy sneaking up on the unsuspecting people are kind of like the thing with this movie, but the the the the rules about how he moves around this set are bonkers. He like teleports from one room to another. And the one that drove me the the most crazy is that girl is uh when he's coming back to life because all the people are having sex. Um, he moves his leg. She turns around. Nothing. He shifts his hand. He just kind of clenches it. Nothing. He sits up, gets up off the table. Nothing. She doesn't She's like, "No, I don't hear that bit."
Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's a weird angle there where like they're kind of like showing her spine. Like, you know, she's in that like cut off shirt and there and it's like he's twitching and it's just like showing that like she's a vulnerable human or something. Like, it's really I I was upset by that. Well, I'm also sleep training my baby. So, by the way, I was thinking
We get it. You've got friends. If you have unprotected sex, we get it. Once one time.
Gross. I I mean, this is also I will say to your point, a person who at that point in the movie is wearing chains. So, when he would move, you're hearing the rattling. You're always going to hear the rattling. You would also think when he sat up his hockey mask would fall to the ground.
And there's a there's a Sorry. Go ahead. I mean, there's another point where like he's supposed to be in one another room. Oh, it's in the beginning. The guy falls through the door and he's dying. She's like, "Oh, what happened? What happened?" He's in the room.
He threw him through the door. She turns around. He's in the hallway. How did he get there?
Did he go around? Where is the other door that he came through that he just teleported over there?
We're not going to have an answer for you. I'm worried about you because you seem genuinely upset about this. We have no answers.
She has created like a JFK monument in her house of But you're positing a theory where there's there's another Jason.
There's it's because this is the magic Jason. There has to be another Jason on the grassy null.
But you're you're but you bring up a good point that there is so much sneaking up behind people that it's like it's ridicul like like it this movie could be called just look behind you just just like one everyone's just backing up backing up. No one ever goes I'll just look where I'm going. By the way, how about this? They in they they introduced this so late in the film. There is a ship that they could just easily all get on and then leave Jason on the main ship and get the [ __ ] out of there, but he's not blocking it. They don't have to get like
But then the one girl blows it up, right? But they but it would have been so easy like, "Hey, let's all go to that one ship, right?" Like there like it's like "Oh Jason."
But then what would we all be doing? We wouldn't be doing we wouldn't be here. And again, you're acting as if that girl or those people are the characters we're following. And it's not. Jason is the character we are following.
And my only my only uh thought again and Lexi Do I guess Lexi Alexa Alexa Oh no, now we just turned on everyone's Alexexas at home.
Oh, Alexa Doy Alexa search Alexa do Alexa play steelely Dan Peg. Um, the other thing,
Alexa, what's the weather? Oh, this is fun. People at home are like, "Oh, fuck." God,
come on. Alexa, play. Let the parties hit the floor. So, Alexa, wake the baby. Alexa, [ __ ] you.
Alexa, tell me a joke. Alexa, tell me a dirty joke. They was I got I have an Alexa and I got an email every week. It's like do you like comedy? Ask Alexa to tell you a limmerick.
Ew. You get that email every week? I wouldn't let Jake kill myself. I keep it around cuz I want to know what the new latest skills I could teach my Alexa are. I don't do any of
a limick. A limick. I just like to like do you like comedy? Then ask Alexa for a good limick. Um, I would like this movie to be Jason running around with the mask constantly falling off. Just that like just the slaps killing someone. Oh [ __ ] Uh, where is it? Where is it? The contents are in their mask.
Like how they've done 10 of these. How have they never done one that's just like the airplane version of this movie?
Sir, your name and your question. Uh, my name is Ryan and unfortunately it is a bit of a statement, but I have some insight that relates to this movie.
Are you Todd Farmer? Yes, I have a limmerick. No. Uh, I I can explain Kane Hotter's sour disposition.
Okay. So, Freddy versus Jason is canon. Okay. Oh, damn. All right. This is something that fans campaign for and Kane Hodder and Robert England both campaign for it. conventions and stuff, probably like the one you went to when it finally was going to happen. All the rights came together in the different studios and whatever. At the end of Jason goes to hell. Jason sinks into hell. Literally, the mask is all that's left. And the last scene in the movie is Freddy's hand coming up out of the ground and grabbing it. So,
Freddy lives underground in hell in Jason Goes to Hell. Apparently, he has a apartment.
So, he has a time share. So years and years of Donald Trump campaigning like this was like Kane Hotter's life was campaigning for this movie to get made.
They made the movie with Robert England as Freddy. Some other dude is Jason. Oh,
and this is Kane Hodder here in this one. So you think that Kane is just Kane has been a bitter individual ever since.
Oh, you're saying I'm sorry. I thought this whole story was about how why Jason is always trying to kill everyone. But you're
This is the real time. And Kane, well, now I want to know more because I I don't know. He's probably a nice guy. I don't I'm also I don't want to get murdered. Like please,
Kane, don't. I'm glad you said that because up until now, cuz we've been friends for a long time, I've considered you someone that wanted to be murdered.
No, no, no. I No. Let me be clear. I do not want to be murdered. He said no. said he'll always deny it on a podcast, but he definitely wants to be murdered. Alexa, don't murder me.
Alexa, murder Rob Hubble, please. Alexa, put Rob Hubble on my do not murder list as per his instructions.
Alexa, um, obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for second opinions. Stupid logic, idiotic. That's what critics saying. Great action, superb acting. That's what I am seeing. Top that. Top that. I got a second opinion about that. Top that. Stop that. Top that. Stop that. It's my second opinion. So don't try to stop that.
Give it up for Mike. Good job. Mike with a top that second opinion theme from the great film Teen Witch.
Teen Witch call back. I will say I did not know where it was going to begin with and I was really happy of her.
He got more confident as the song went along. Yeah. If that is the power of Teen Witch. If you're having a bad Alexa, play Teen Witch, top that.
Oh, that was great. Mike, great job. You should be proud of yourself. Yeah. All right, here we go. Uh,
I have still have a problem with those shoes. This one is written by Ghalt in 2001.
Fake name. I have a message to all the critics who I'm sure are readying their pins to dump all over this latest installment. They're quil pins.
Don't bother. We know the acting will probably be horrible and the story won't be poignant or meaningful and it doesn't matter. If it's Oscar caliber performances you want, go see Captain Carelli's mandolin.
Whoa. Somebody has to. Whoa. Alexa, play Captain Carelli's mandolin. Leave us in our slasher film alone. It doesn't need to make sense or even tie into part nine. All we need is Jason and his hockey mask and nudity and blood.
Wow. And that's it. I've been a fan of Jason since 1982 and I plan to be here to the bloody end. Pun intended. Five stars.
Sign little Rob Hubble. Baby Hubes. This one is um This one is a weird It's a weird one.
You want to pass over it? Uh 10. No, no, no, no. 10 fingers, 10 toes. Not enough to count the bodies.
Basically, I watch Jason movies because of the high body count, but this movie went too far.
Oh, wow. Jason kills 20 to 25 people, and that's not counting the thousands he helped blow up.
Unsolaris. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wow. Um, Jason's mind is gone. As soon as he sees someone, they're dead. It's the best Friday the 13th movie ever.
Five stars. Wait, I thought that's why it's weird. It really takes a The road like turned upside down and then he drove his car upside down. Yeah. He was like, I don't like it. And I actually his
mind is gone. His mind is gone. But his mind is gone, guys. It is interesting because they say his brain is so small.
Yeah. You know that at some point so like dick is very big. Okay. Paul, wait. Yeah. Why did you focus on that one line?
What's that about, Paul? That's the thing that you took away from us. Well, because I thought it is.
I thought it was weird cuz she said, "But his dick is so big." And then she says she's hung like a mammoth. Oh, okay. All right. He's hung like a
How do you know that? Yeah, Paul. And she says, "I bet he's hung like a man." We just decided it's true. And if and also just look at his dead limp dick and find out.
There's one way to figure this out. Alexa, how big is Jason Vorhees's penis? Which Jason Vorhees?
Alexa, how big is a mammoth's penis? Um, this is uh one of my favorite reviews here from uh Mr. uh Bayine. Mr. Bayine. One of the guys looked like Lawrence Fishburn. And I thought he was until I found out he wasn't. For anyone that didn't know, the X in Jason X means the tense one. The actors did a good job, and that one girl actually took the dead guy's gun. I've been wanting someone to keep the guy's weapon every time I watch a horror movie. Overall, I'd say this is the best Friday of the 13th ever. Five stars.
Wow. You know, the other thing I just want to ask is, does this movie take place on Friday the 13th?
No. No. Okay. Okay. Cuz there is no Friday the 13th in space, right? on Earth too. They've out it with
that does make me that does make me like kind of begs the question, what is Jason?
I still haven't gotten an answer for Yeah. Well, you are going to struggle with that until you guy. What is Jason?
Do you know? No, he's a shooting star, bro. Okay, cool. Um, and then finally, this is a very heavily edited review. uh like eight nine paragraphs here from Techno uh machinima 1996 and I'm just going to read the final paragraph
pronounced machina oh yeah techno x but it's and there's no x so it's techno mach mach even spelled like that okay
this is before overall if you're looking for unique sci-fi horror experience if you like to look at attractive and decidedly sexy people if you're into Jason and Friday the 13th but need something different. If you like super awesome special effects, if you like action, if you like humor, if you like sex appeal in your horror movies and you want to see Jason in a whole new way, well then this movie is definitely for you.
Super awesome special effects. Really? What? Why? Why? What is Jason? What is Jason? Why? When Jason gets, you know, fixed by the ants, does he get turned into like um Bane?
Yeah. Why is he so much more like ripped? Yeah. He's jacked and he's half metal and he's like it's like he gets
cuz the ants [ __ ] him. They all [ __ ] If you got [ __ ] by ants, you would be so
Oh, so you think that is a decidedly sexual process? Why wouldn't they regenerate his skin and why would they regenerate his mask? Like cuz it's nanotechnology.
Why were his eyes better? Why were his eyes red? Smoking that weed, bro. Because he is a replicant,
right? The replicants all have red eyes. Oh, is that right? Okay, guys. Sorry. Didn't mean to go crazy with my Bladeunner knowledge.
He looked like like he I also watched that on the Bladeunner hot. Yeah, my Bladeunner hot take. Oh, I said I thought he looked like like Bbop or Rock Steady like from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle with a little bit of Crang because his head's so bra.
I have a I have a question. I would I would maybe like say Legends of the Ooze more, but let's
I have a question too. At the very end where those uh the horny teens see the shooting star of Jason and Brodsky,
they're on Earth. Earth two. Okay, that's what I is somehow habitable because I was told
Yeah, cuz we destroyed Earth. Yeah, but I thought all planets were uninhabitable.
No, just Earth regular. I'll edit that out. Earth two is fine. Uh, Alexa, is Earth 2 still habitable?
Does anyone want to take a a swing at what the tagline might be for this? Don't wreck my pants. It is this Halloween meet the perfect 10 in terror. Now what is interesting about that is this movie came out April 26th.
And also wait I I'm sorry. And this is you might just also have to edit this out because it's a genuine question. This movie is not from the Halloween series either, right? No. Okay. So, okay.
Yeah. Yeah. This Halloween the perfect 10 in terror. Isn't April 26 like Easter?
Well, again, that would go with the other good tagline, resurrection. Um, he's been drowned, chainsawed, knifed axed hammered shocked burned spiked, nailed, shot, and frozen. And now he's back for more. Like it's, you know resurrection.
Wait, was he in Frozen? Jason, not a lot of people Olaf. Yeah. Yeah. Um, this movie came out in 2002. The number the top three movies that year were Spider-Man, Lord of the Rings, uh, The Two Towers, Star Wars Episode 2. Um, and the budget was $11 million and worldwide it made 16 million. It was a profitable.
So, we're the dicks. We don't know. We don't know for PNA. Don't use [ __ ] industry terms on me. Alexa, buy the house on Blu-ray. One click purchase. Um, see this sales just like right after this episode like bam, a huge spike. Um, let's uh let's see. So obviously what we watch these movies uh because they're like fun bad movies and so now we'll go around and see do you believe that this is a fun bad movie to watch. You don't have to agree to it. Do you it's your own opinion. Would you recommend people to watch this film if they have not seen it?
I will say watch this movie. Don't watch this movie while you're watching your baby try to go to sleep because you you're listening to people getting murdered and people screaming while you're watching your baby also scream at you. This is a very niche uh angle on this.
You should have put your iPad in the baby's crib. Then you could be watching your baby and the movie almost like you're at a drive-in. So I should have just
watching the baby monitor on which is the iPad playing the movie. Yes. Smart. Really smart
and not damaging at all to the baby. Um Jason, any uh what would you what would you say here?
You know uh it's it's fine. There are better there are better we've done better. The Halloween um that we did
Season of the Witch No. Leprechaun. Yeah, we did Season of the Witch. Season of the Witch. That's what it Okay. Sorry. That or Leprechaun in the Hood, right? That's what the Leprechaun was. Yeah, those movies are better. Troll the Troll 2.
We did not do that. We've never done it, but that's a good Like, there are better.
When's Troll 2 going to happen? Please, please ask me back for Troll 2. Oh, yeah, for sure.
Uh, there are better like this is fine and watch it if you want. It's fun. It is very self-aware. It's very goofy. There's lots,
but not enough. Like, it's not enough. It's neither nor. That's the thing is it's a bit neither nor if you don't watch it I think you're fine. I don't think it's not like it's not like it's Miami Connection,
right? Which every single Alexa purchase Miami Connection. Um that movie is like the greatest. Uh and this is kind of like blah if I'm being honest.
Yeah. Jenny, I would say it's worth it for one thing, which is that the costume designer truly put everyone almost everyone in some sort of velour vest or
belly shirt or belly shirt. Yeah, the costume designer is really the person to look out for. I feel like that is it is really
they made a real attempt to provide futuristic tech and all that stuff, but they just assumed that everybody in 400 years in the future will dress like people in 2002.
Yeah. Like real chenille kind of stuff. I really um it's great for that and if you like to smoke weed. But I but I would say it was I mean I'm like it was a little bit gross,
you know? Yeah. To me, to me, I would say like I I find it to be like the same way. I was like, "Yeah, it was fine. It was a movie." There's other movies we talked about in the beginning, other horror movies that went to space were Hellraiser, Leprechaun, and Critters. So, maybe we just do four of these and just figure out what's the best uh person in space. I think a better version of this movie would have been the whole if the whole thing had been or or no at the midpoint of the movie if it had switched to the sim of Crystal Lake.
Like once they got into that I thought like oh that's the movie like that's the thing. I mean, not the with the girls. Like, we love premarital sex, but I mean,
it would have been interesting to have to have the people on the ship act like they were in a summer camp like on earth on an old earth that they don't know what it is. So, they're having to do it in order to lure Jason out or that would have been fun.
Are you listening to this [ __ ] farmer? Are you taking on farmersonly.com? Just dating himself. He's always liking himself.
Ding dong. Oh, it's me. A big thank you to Averil Halley who cuts all of our amazing clips. Uh July Diaz who's up in the booth. Nate Kylie does all this research and listen to the Jason X commentary track into copious notes. Uh Kelly Alto, Lyanna Waldron, uh everybody here at uh Largo, everybody at Earwolf. Thank you so much and good night.
