Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

Freddy Vs Jason, except it’s the diner scene from Heat

Hey this episode kicked ass. It’s absurdly rare for anyone, especially podcasters, to make a sample episode like this that works as an introduction to the show for new listeners without losing what makes it special for longtime listeners. This is my new go-to for introducing people to the show, with Lawnmower Man (my previous pick) as a next step.

I really love that when you guys make an unpaywalled episode intended for new listeners, Rannazzisi makes a come back. It’s perfect.

Can't believe they mentioned the rat! They show the same barrel of toxic waste at the end and the rat is floating dead in it

Im so sorry, I know I'm late to the party, but I'm too excited https://youtu.be/2MamGWJL5Ug?si=6j7uFQz37slHgrT_

I love that Stanger felt the need to edit in the correct numbers for the punching force.

Gabrus nostalgically, “dude I used to have hour long conversations with my friends about movies.”

If anyone wants to bone up in this series without watching all of them, James and the crew at Dead Meat on YouTube recently ran through the whole series with “kill counts”. It was the first series he ever covered, so a year or two back he re-ran the Friday films. Fun ~30 minute summaries that include a lot of behind the scenes stuff.

Holy shit, I loved this movie as a kid but after listening to the podcast and rewatching it, it is godawful! Thanks for the entertainment and constant ruining of my childhood memories

Nearly 2hrs on Mr Voorhees and no mention of Clubber Langs roommate ... not sure what to make of that

I’m fairly new to the show… but man that felt like an absolute classic. Hilarious from start to finish!

A shadow drop…. A shadow wolves drop.

Rough week, needed this! Thank you boyz

I worked at a theater in 1988 when I was a HS senior. It was an old big theater that only had one screen and a balcony. We showed Friday the 13 part 7 and it did big business opening weekend, and then it dropped off to almost nothing. We would smoke weed and hang out in the balcony and Rocky Horror the movie. It's the one where Jason fights a teenage girl named Carrie who has telekinetic super powers. It also has the sleeping bag kill.

Happy for the ep. But hope they return to this series and do Friday the 13th the Final Chapter for Horror Boyz. Goriest, sleaziest, most insane characters.

Janitors are feasting this week

The notification made me think it was Monday and I somehow forgot the weekend.

How did we get so lucky? ☺️

Squeezed in another episode before WW3! LFG!

What a pleasant surprise 🥲

Not too defend a clearly shitty movie, but the MPAA was notoriously harsh with slashers around this time and cut tons of gore from the later Friday films. This does somewhat explain the lackluster kills.

Elliott Kalan & Andrew Mutti's Maniac of New York comic does a better job of telling the Jason Takes Manhattan story.

Barack Lesnar got me good

Damn.... this episode got me feeling lucky.

Was planning on watching the original today and now it’s a double feature for me!

The referenced kills from other Friday the 13th movies (starting at 13:00) : Sleeping bag - 7 (New Blood) Hedge sheers in eyes - 5 (New Beginning) Jason dies from boat propeller - 6 (Jason Lives) Strangely, we see Jason's face in each of the first 8 movies. He never looks the same, and he looks the worst in this one, by far.

One of my favorite things as a kid was hearing different people imitate Jason’s “ch-ch-ch, hah, hah, hah” sound. It’s amazing how everybody hears something unique. My wife swears that he’s saying “kill-kill-kill.”

Bless you Action Boyz

New Jason movie filming in Jersey now. “Mama’s boy”. We need more origin story for him.
