2023-11-04 13:49:42 +0000 UTCTotally agree about Jason Lives and X. Look, these aren't serious cinema. Just have fun with it.

2023-11-04 13:39:17 +0000 UTCI'm glad Mike pointed out that the music by Harry Manfredini is terrible in the later movies. The music was great in the early movies but starting around Part 6 and onward, it dumped the "ki ki ki ma ma ma" music and just became forgettable music cliches.

2023-11-01 15:39:36 +0000 UTCI really loved Jason Lives. That is, grading on a curve compared to others in the series. I thought Jason Goes to Hell was a real slog. Leslie was the only bright spot. I believe they wanted Tommy Jarvis in Jason Goes to Hell but because of the fight over one production company owning just the character of Jason and another company owning the rest of the "lore," the rights to use Tommy Jarvis were not given so they made up the Steven character. I rewatched Jason X recently and again, grading on a curve, it's pretty alright. Feels a bit like Jason Lives in having some self parody. But the story is pretty weak. Jason Goes to Manhattan is a dumpster fire but had a few fun kills, at least.

2023-10-31 02:59:36 +0000 UTCThat Guy from the STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION episode "The Neutral Zone"'s name is Peter Mark Richman. Seeing him on TNG had my wife and I both laughing because he was such a familiar face to us, having grown up watching television in the 1960 and 1970s! He seemed to be in everything back then playing either a Mob lawyer, a stern High School principal, a Corporate asshole, or a Deputy Chief of the FBI (IMDB lists 161 acting credits for him)—if the guy wore a suit and sat behind a desk, he played him. Later in life he did a lot of voice work and retired in 2010 or 2011, even though he lived until 2021.

2023-10-30 22:23:29 +0000 UTCJason X = USA Up All Night.

2023-10-30 01:02:27 +0000 UTCOoh can't wait for them to talk about Fall of the House of Usher. Best show of the year so far.

2023-10-29 23:03:36 +0000 UTCHow people seem to feel about Jason X, is how I feel about Jason Goes To Hell. THAT'S the interesting-and-fun-in-spite-of-everything one, and it feels like an actual movie, whereas Jason X just feels so, so, so cheap and not very arrested from any SyFy Original scifihorror experience.

2023-10-29 20:22:19 +0000 UTCGlad to see Mike enjoy Jason X, thanks for the vids!

2023-10-29 14:32:14 +0000 UTCI don't like the "Hey Stoopid" album very much, sorry...

2023-10-29 12:47:29 +0000 UTCThe info about the first digitally color graded movie is very interesting! Thanks, Jay.

2023-10-29 08:22:11 +0000 UTCI have never seen any of the FRIDAY THE 13TH movies. And now I never have to! Huzzah! On a side note, the actor playing the geeky guy in JASON GOES TO HELL was one of the leads in the FRIDAY THE 13TH tv series.

2023-10-29 04:11:17 +0000 UTCYou may be right, but isn't the Chucky series controlled by Don Mancini? That isn't exactly carefully written and fully integrated lore, but it may be the closest example of a film series maintaining a degree of lore and quality over eight films and a tv series. You just can't count the recent Child's Play remake because the studio had the right to remake the first movie.

2023-10-28 23:38:34 +0000 UTCThe shout factory box set has it, but it's like $100. That one is like the "fan" edition with a lot of commentaries and special features. There is a cheap 8 disc set they sell at Wal-Mart... I'm not sure if Jason X is on that one.

2023-10-28 23:22:48 +0000 UTCRe, Jay's idea of having like 7 carefully written and fully integrated lore-building movies: I see almost no evidence that humans are able to produce that. Disney had all the money, time, talent, goodwill and technology to do that with Marvel and Star Wars and has pretty much failed. Same thing with the New Line Hobbit movies, Harry Potter, and several tv series that were meant to all lead to something collectively amazong (Lost and Game of Thrones, anyone?). Human beings just aren't good at telling super long, tightly integrated multi-part stories. At some point there are 'handoffs' and 'too many cooks' issues and it falls apart. *Maybe* like a lone book author who has total, sole control can do that. But movies and TV are commercial enterprises and with each film or season or whatever the studio will want to come in and tweak things and it'll all just go to pieces overall.

2023-10-28 23:01:54 +0000 UTCIf they named part 7 something else... would it be liked better? Like just remove the NY stuff and make it about Jason on a boat. Ft13th: Anchor's away... to death! Ft13th: Jason goes on a cruise Ft13th: Jason on the poop deck thanks Mike and Jay! Another great video.

2023-10-28 22:55:00 +0000 UTCI grew up near Lake Champlain in the 90s. People there talked about the Miracle on Ice like it had happened yesterday afternoon. Weird thing is that nowadays hockey is something no kid just 'gets into': It's something where they have to be like trained from birth and have an entire family that is *super* into it. The gear is expensive, you need separate skating lessons, there's all these summer camps and clinics. It's like having a kid who does competitive horse riding: something that only super rich helicopter parents are into.

2023-10-28 22:49:14 +0000 UTCThose cuts around the killings remind me of my disappointing experience of Final Destination 3. I was so looking forward to see that comedic cut which Jay had posted on Twitter, but the DVD I got, contained a version where that match cut was missing. But at least the BTS featurettes and the interviews with the director and the actors were very interesting. It was worth it.
Marvin Falz
2023-10-28 21:43:45 +0000 UTCI was also thinking about how Jason Goes to Hell is a lesser version of The Hidden(1987)

2023-10-28 20:53:23 +0000 UTCNot at all related to these movies, you look really nice in that shirt, Mike. It suits you.

2023-10-28 20:22:01 +0000 UTCSo I did manage to make time to watch Jason Goes To Hell, but I was not able to watch Jason X. It’s not available on any streaming service I have access to. Maybe some day. For now I’ve seen almost all the movies in the original run of Friday the 13th movies before this video came out. Well I didn’t hate Jason Goes to Hell.
Michael Parker
2023-10-28 20:03:35 +0000 UTCI just wish telekinetic people weren't so underrepresented in media.

2023-10-28 18:55:32 +0000 UTCI never watched any of the Friday the 13th movies growing up because I sort of didn’t like horror movies. Then I saw Jason X in theaters and felt silly that I had thought these movies were scary. I sort of liked it actually because it was my sort of terrible.

2023-10-28 18:47:59 +0000 UTCI can't get enough of: - Jay + Anyone re:View episodes on any 80s/90s trashy cash grabs - Mike + Rich re:View episodes on any Star Trek

2023-10-28 18:45:52 +0000 UTCThe director of the Terrifier movies is talking a lot lately about how he wants to make a new Friday the 13th movie! I would watch that for a dollar.

2023-10-28 18:24:42 +0000 UTC"He's back (The Man Behind the Mask)" is great...! Go and listen to the garbage Alice Cooper recorded for "Class of 1984" and "Prince of Darkness" for comparison...

2023-10-28 17:31:05 +0000 UTCI am. It's in our constitution that if hockey is outlawed, we declare war on the whole world.
Nada Leona Sheppard
2023-10-28 17:27:17 +0000 UTCThere are people in my life who would go on Jason-esque killing sprees if hockey were outlawed in 2024. And no I'm not even Canadian!

2023-10-28 17:26:02 +0000 UTCI endured all of these movies just to hear these cats yap about them. What is wrong with me.
