Jason X LIVE! w/ Rob Huebel & Jenny Slate (HDTGM Matinee)

From How Did This Get Made?

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.
