info_outlineThe end is nigh….and we're here to guide you through Episode 5, in which one more trip to Crystal Lake
is to be had, where we follow our anti-hero Mr. Voorhees through his machete-wielding misadventures.
In Episodes 3 & 4 of The Autopsy Podcast, we tackled the Paramount-owned portion of the Friday the 13th franchise,
Parts 1-8. And now it is time to switch gears and plunge into the New Line Cinema era, and we see how the "house that
Freddy built" has handled our much beloved machete man.
This one starts off immediately with our main segment, in which New Line kicks off their Jason-era by hardly putting
him in the movie at all and pissing on 8 films of mythology. While recapping the action, Thomas' notes reveal the point
in which he became inebriated while watching this film, but the guys are still able to dissect this strange fish-out-of-water
film that includes nods to The Evil Dead and Jaws, while maintaining good business sense with hockey mask burgers.
Then its off to the proverbial cellar for horror franchises, as Jason follows Leprachuan, Critters, and Pinhead into space,
where the franchise that has been consistently shameless about ripping off better movies, decides to go full-on Ridley Scott.
We then make a detour to Springwood, Ohio - so Freddy and Jason can do battle in the equivalent of a cinematic video
game, and then our final stop on this long and arduous Friday the 13th journey is in the Michael Bay prison of horror
hell…..the Platinum Dunes-produced remake.
So grab your sunblock, because we're going to hell….and this third and final trip to Crystal Lake will push our total
Friday the 13th talking time over 3 episodes to approximately 8 hours, 17 minutes, and 20 seconds. That's a lot of booze,
machetes, breasts, blood, nose candy, thrown cats, 80's hair, cashgrabs, and bodies thrown through windows.
