Mike deserves much worse for making everyone deal with his Ghost Adventures fetish and his deeply concerning, far from platonic, love for Zak Baggins which may need a restraining order if it progresses much further. For his crimes against Red Letter Media, his audience, and humanity as a whole, Mike should be forced to endure a movie marathon of the entirety of The Conjuring, Insidious, and Saw franchises. Strap Mike into a potty chair and apply a mild electrical shock every time he starts to drift off and fall asleep or go to his mental Star Trek happy place. That is justice my friend. That IS true justice. Sadly, it is also illegal in the 48 contiguous states, violates the Geneva conventions, and makes baby Jesus cry, but a Baggins level crime can only be met with a Baggins level punishment. Luckily Zak would be interested in purchasing Mike's potty chair that will surely be haunted after this experience.
These movies do have a special place in my heart. When the mood is just right on a dark fall night...pop one in and have some beers. They're terrible but fun
@@jf1573I predict "it's like poetry; it rhymes" will persist in the English language as a way to say something is terrible for hundreds of years, long after everyone forgets who George Lucas was.
Been a fan of RLM for a couple years now, and one thing I love about them is that they never have sponsors or tell anyone to "like, comment and subscribe" (unless they do it sarcastically), and never even mention their patreon, merch or anything (other than in their channel description).
That's because they're already so successful that they don't have to. They're aware of how fortunate they are. Smaller and newer creators don't have that luxury. (Please note that I'm just saying this out of sympathy. I'm not a TH-camr.)
Yes! They have integrity, unlike most others on TH-cam. Chris Stuckman actually did an ad for a Sony produced Ghostbusters video game in his review of GB: Afterlife. Not surprisingly, he gave the movie a positive review.
I feel like part of it is also a sort of respect for their audience. Of COURSE they want os to like, comment, and subscribe. Of course they want us to buy the merch and join the patreon. But they give us the credit where they assume we're capable enough to do that on our own if we want to. We're not 12 year olds who need to be moved by a Call To Action™. People will like if they like it. People will subscribe if they want more. Etc. And RLM leaving that to us, instead of telling us to do it, feels, to me, like respect for their audience. It's a very low bar, yet somehow they're one of the very few channels who clear it.
@@Eisenwulf666 I don't know if you replied before or after I edited the comment, I forgor to write "drunk", yhat was my bad. That said, there's only one drunk hobo at RLM. 😉
Batman ‘89 was the first movie I saw by myself in theatres and the only preview I remember was for Jason Takes Manhattan. It was just zooming in on Jason from above and behind while Sinatra songs New York New York
This needs to continue with Freddy vs Jason and the 2009 remake!! Remake's Jason is my favorite portrayal of the character and the intro of that movie is goated
Oh thank goodness! I am so grateful that Mike said that the ending of part 8, when Jason turned to a child was probably in Rennie's mind. Every other reviewer claims that the toxic waste transformed him, with absolutely no regard to the possibility that it was just another hallucination.
It’s wild that Mike says it’s “like talking to a 14 year old” when Jay has Friday the 13th trivia, considering that Mike is a *Trekkie*. Pot & Kettle scenario.
Jason goes to Hell actually was supposed to tie Jason to Evil Dead. Originally it was supposed to be the Pamela Voorhees used the Necronomicon to bring Jason back as a dead deadite, and even the dagger that kills him at the end was meant to be the Kandairian Dagger from Evil Dead, but they couldn't get the rights to do the tie in stuff, so now it's just an Easter Egg.
No it wasn't...That was never an idea until that stupid awful comic came out.....That was NOT meant to be anything more than an easter egg for evil dead fans in Jason goes to hell, because the director knew sam raimi. They literally say it in Crystal Lake Memories, he thought they looked cool, he knew Sam Raimi so he asked him IF he could put them in the movie as an easter egg. There was NEVER meant to be anything about Jason being a deadite, nothing about the necronomicon, they were just mean to be "cool" easter eggs.
@@lutherheggs451 Literally a quote from Adam Marcus to Syfy Wire in 2018 "When we were pre-producing the movie, Bob Kurtzman and the guys at KNB said we're gonna do the effects on the movie. So I got to go on Sam Raimi's set for Army of Darkness. I asked Bob if Sam would lend me the Necronomicon for Jason Goes To Hell. I let Bob in on my secret plan and knew I couldn't say Deadite or Evil Dead in the movie because Universal owned the rights. If I just take that prop and put it in the Voorhees house, and use the Kandarian dagger as the thing that kills Jason, what I'm doing is setting up a mythology that Jason's mom wanted her so back so badly that she made a deal with the darkness. So she reads from the Necronomicon and brings about the resurrection of her son, so now the fact he lived at the bottom of the lake and grows two feet makes sense."
I love that that guy was so set on the “purity” of the Friday the thirteenth franchise that he was legitimately ready to reject reality “evil dead fans are losers how dare you suggest that my stupid franchise be connected “
Being a young chilld watching the Friday series - out of order and lacking wisdom at that age - my earliest conception of Jason Vorhees was that he was ALWAYS an undead killing machine, having IN FACT ( not a dream sequence ) risen from the lake at the end of the first movie to avenge his mother.
Rich and Mike have taught me so much about star trek that I was able to immediately recognize the actor and remember which episode of season 1 he was in. (I have never seen a single episode of star trek before in my life)
You know Jason X is a true Vancouver production when two of its stars are pulled from the old Kevin Sorbo syndicated show, Andromeda. Probably even borrowed some sets.
I have it, it owns. I like to undo people's belts while they're carrying heavy stuff so that they can't stop their pants from sliding down, usually they trip and fall.
I love that Kelly Hu who plays one of Jason’s victims in part 8 was able to move into voice acting. So that she can work on projects like MKX, a game that would have Jason as a guest character.
I love that two people from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning are in return of the Living Dead, both which came out in 1985. The black guy who gets killed in the crapper after singing with his girlfriend played Spider in Return of the Living Dead. The guy at the beginning of A New Beginning who kills the other guy with the axe played Suicide in Return of the Living Dead.
Jay, making Mike watch every horror movie known to mankind: “I have such sights to show you.” I can’t wait for the entire Hellraiser series next Halloween! Thanks again lads!
They really got famous voice actor Mike Stoklasa to sing their intro acapella for the second half of a Friday the 13th discussion. Red Letter Media is really upping the quality these days.
I love that Mike compares Jay to a 14 year old and then later mentions Babylon 5, Star Trek Deep Space 9, etc. Let's be honest, we're all still 14 year olds.
@@SnoopyReads Ouch in a lot of ways I think DS9 is the best of star trek and it copied Babylon 5 in a lot of ways. So if anything the best thing star trek ever did was a Straczynski vehicle with a better budget.
@@willandwillstudios Yeah NO....The rights weren't some horror show.....New Line/ Cunningham owned the rights to Jason, Pamela Vorhees and Crystal Lake. The ONLY thing they didn't have the rights to was the actual Friday the 13th name and, they could not reference anything from the previous films, that's why it was Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X. The only thing that actually prevented them from doing it, besides that comic is god awful and stupid is Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell who wanted complete control and wanted Ash to kill Freddy and Jason.
Jason X would've been seriously funny if science is so advanced that the crew members can't die and you just go all out with this concept by having the main characters not really... seeing him as a mild annoyance. The only thing annoying them is they can't seem to catch him because he's magic and everyone in space doesn't believe in that anymore. Also make the passengers even more loose since it's the far future.
I wouldn't say the way Tommy was trying to kill Jason was completely made up. The Wikipedia on draugr (superhuman Norse revenant) states that "In legends, the hero would often have to wrestle the draugr back to his grave, thereby defeating him," vampires need to be staked into their coffins so they can't escape them again, and undead creatures having some weakness in whatever originally killed them is hardly a novel idea. The real problem is that, according to part 2, Jason didn't actually drown in the lake to begin with
There is literally a scene where he is sitting in his truck reading a book about "the occult"....That is literally where he gets the idea from, he didn't have that idea until that scene
Mike, with no irony at all, put Jay on blast for his knowledge of Friday the 13th actors, while in the same video and many times in the past has done the same thing with Star Trek. I love it.
The unmasking of Jason (and the following standoff) in Part 7 is a truly terrifying moment in the series. Had that movie not been butchered post production, it very well could have been the best of the lot.
When the town's people got together and chanted "Evil Dies tonight!" I felt that, and it reminded of the BLM rallies and marches I used as cover to loot VCRs
Jason X is the greatest, stupidest horror movie of my childhood, and I'm so glad they appreciated it for what was. That sleeping bag scene is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Dream Warriors wasn't bad, but in hindsight it may have been a mistake to cross over with the Police Academy franchise and have Jason go on wacky cop adventures with Mahoney and Tackleberry.
Mike singing the intro music, while both him and Jay do the "Old Man" dance had me in tears. Love the videos you guys put out, and hope you all have a very Happy Halloween
I still want a movie where Jason walks home from New York to Crystal Lake - encountering people along the way who render him the hero by default because of how awful they are. He "saves" a little girl, she thanks him and runs away, he finally makes it back to the shack, caresses his Mother's head, sits down, and just SLEEPS.
@@barahng Yeah basically, I always wanted to see Jason help a kid (but not without scarring them for life and terrifying the hell out of them). I wish Don't Breathe 2's plot had been used for a Jason film, that way, a rapist wouldn't have been the anti-hero.
Jay said that no one knew what was going on and had agency by trying to stop Jason until Tommy, but he forgot about the guy who showed up in the same movie Tommy was introduced. The guy with the gun who lived in a tent who wanted to avenge his murdered sister. AKA the guy who got killed by Jason in the Basement while yelling he's killing me!
I envision a young man, experiencing ‘Jason 9’ as his first foray into the ‘Friday the 13th’ series. He might find himself puzzled by the stark contrast in Jason’s character across the different films, particularly with regards to the loss of his body switching powers and the absence of the established magical Voorhees lore.
As a child I’d always imagine Jason beating up/ killing what scared me.. He was more of a superhero to me :p Will always be one of my favorite characters of all time.
On Mike’s last point about extensively planning out a horror franchise ahead of filming, your average audience might wonder why there were so many setups and lore in the movie when all they wanted were some creative kills and jump scares
55:30 My theory on the Halloween stuff is that DGG mentions how he originally pitched a two part film, but then didn't want to blow their load if people hated the first. So he put together his best ideas that would work for a single film. When the movie was more successful than anybody could ever predicted, he revisited those unused ideas and try to make movies revolve around them. With Exorcist I have no idea what they were going at other than the demon who is not mentioned by name in the film is credited as Lamastu on wikipedia and other websites is said to be rival to Pazuzu. So maybe the idea was to do a vomit kamehameha fight with Pazuzu in the sequels.
The first Jason movie that I watched was "Jason X" behind my parents back cause they told me it was too "scary", so when I did I remember being so disappointed because I was not scared, in fact I thought it was too funny actually, after that day till now I never trusted my parents ever again
On Part 8, The Flop House podcast recently went through the film, and one of them suggested that it should have been called "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Dead Tide". I personally loved that idea.
9:31 A neat explanation would've been that the ghost of Jason's mother is haunting him, keeping him alive and guiding him. Jason himself is a juggernaut.
I'd always wondered how and why out of nowhere her healthy and seemingly alive dad burst through the dock to grab Jason. It makes so much more sense that he was supposed to be a decaying corpse.
I don't care either way. They set up something in the beginning and paid it off in the end. That's more than I expect from a Friday the 13th movie. I think the filmmakers went with the normal-looking dad so that the audience would recognize him.
@@SupremeGreatGrandmaster The movie was very heavily censored before release. When Jay talks about it at 17:30, there are photos of the original corpse-dad make-up as well as a clip of corpse-dad in the original work-print. Normal-dad almost certainly was never the filmmaker's intent; it was just one of the many things that had to be removed or re-shot to appease seemingly near puritanical censors.
@@Hu...R-U2024 Around the 1980s, there was a massive "moral guardians" (parents, Christians, politicians, etc) movement pushing for heavier censorship all around Tipper Gore waged her war against the music industry. Jesse Helms waged his war against Robert Mapplethorpe and the art industry. Satanic Panic was in full swing. Leaders like Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham pushed the Christian fundamentalists forward. And of course there were complaints about movies showing graphic violence, gore, and "objectionable" content in general. The MPAA went particularly hard against slasher movies. Movies had to be hacked apart to avoid the deadly X rating. X was seen as the "pornography" rating, and regular theaters wouldn't show X-rated films. In 1990, the X rating was retired and replaced by the NC-17 rating, and the MPAA started relaxing again.
As i said on the last one. I liked Tina. She was the only character I remember pulling for to live in the whole series. Good to see someone not just do something stupid and died. Was it silly? Yes. Was it fun? Yes. And also she was a good actress. Glad she refused to come back just to die.
Tina exists because they couldn't get the rights to use the actual Carrie. It was discussed and they did look into it but were told no so they just created their own legally distinct character.
@@lutherheggs451 The movie was pitched as "Jason vs Carrie" in a figurative sense but they never actually tried to get Carrie. Dunno where you're pulling your false info from, unless you're either trolling or getting confused with the fact that they originally wanted part VII to be Freddy vs Jason but New Line told them no.
Jason on a boat does sound like a fantastic setting given the isolation and the lack of escape routes. Maybe the coward of the group takes the only escape raft and gets eaten by sharks to enforce that swimming isn't an option. The cast can try fixing the engine or calling for the coast guard as Jason continues picking them off, the premise really has a lot of potential. I'd even have it end on a cliffhanger with a seemingly drowned Jason walking out to shore with Manhattan in the distance, than you can have an actual Jason Takes Manhattan sequel.
It IS a good idea. The heroes would have to figure a way to get Jason into the water so he drowns without getting killed by him. They'd have to trick Jason and trap him.
Here's a thought: the boat Jason gets on is a anti-oil drilling protest boat. He kills a few people early on, then a storm hits, and the drillers let the hippies onto the platform since they know if they all drown right next to a stable oil rig it'll be terrible publicity for them. Now it's Jason on an offshore oil rig during a storm. The hippies think the evil oil drillers are killing them off; the drillers think the crazy hippies are killing them off. Eventually the remaining people have to work together to beat Jason. Obviously the big conclusion will have the platform explode.
Lake sharks? Just give Jason power over unrecovered bodies in the lake that seems to have more people than fish in it. As soon as you hit the water you get dragged down like Jason did in previous movie.
Bit of a missed opportunity not mentioning how the 'nerdy guy in the glasses' in Jason Goes to Hell was John D. LeMay, previously known as the star of Friday the 13th: The Series. Which is not in any way connected to these films, but served as a heavy inspiration for The X-Files.
The Series is amazing, spinning a "monkey's paw" mcguffin into entertaining stories for several seasons. It is very much a who's who of Canadian talent of the time. I re-watched it during lockdown and IMO it held up well for its kind of pulpy nonsense.
23:45 originally Part 8 would be a continuation of Part 7 with Tina returning which makes the social awkwardness and psychic link make a lot more sense. Also a telekinetic girl fighting Jason in New York would've been such good schlock
It wasn't gonna be set in Manhattan because I believe the director or Lar Park Lincoln wrote a treatment where Tina's taken to a psychiatrist hospital and Jason comes to life and wants revenge. (Like Dream Warriors.) The screenwriter for Jason Takes Manhattan wiped everything clean with the intention that it was gonna be the last one and introduced a protagonist who was directly connected to Jason. But it wasn't for Tina as at that point, she was asking too much money to come back but Paramount simply said no.
The continuity errors with the lore, to me, is just part of the weird mythos of these slasher icons. Maybe it's because I'm younger, but the sequels almost lend themselves closer to being the stories kids would make up about a recent shocking event and how each iteration would gain new bits and pieces until the story of Jason slashing up horny teens becomes a body-hopping demonic force that requires a magical bone saber to kill it. And if you did a horror series with that as a subtle overlay, it might work from a storytelling standpoint.
I agree, that would be a great way to "smooth out the wrinkles" so to speak. Warhammer 40'000 (not to get too nerdy) kinda does that. It has a metric fuckton of lore, and a lot of it is conflicting or downright contradictive. But it doesn't matter because EVERY bit of lore is meant to be seen as one faction or another's take on it, or propaganda, or some agenda'd distortion of events, rather than an actual factual retelling of events exactly as they happened.
@@Bear_Andersen It's absolutely an underused concept, but the unreliable narrator is the perfect way to smooth that kind of stuff over and that's exactly what that sounds like. On paper, it would sound lazy, but if that was the wrap up at the end, that all of the preceding had been campfire stories embellished and changed over time and the real killer actually only was active for one night and killed like three people, it would be the best twist, kind of swerve ending you could do for a franchise.
Since these movies tossed out any coherence long ago, I wanted the follow-up of Jason X to be Jason in the Wild West. I figured since he made it to the future, they could establish the invention of time travel and finagle way to send Voorhees back. Just think of all the dumb possibilities, like mayhem in a saloon, or Jason donning a cowboy hat and riding a horse.
the psychic link thing in Part 8 is leftovers from an original draft that was written with the girl from Part 7 returning in mind. When Lar Park Lincoln turned the role down because it wasn't a good enough payday they rewrote it but kept the psychic thing in.
20:21 9 or 10 years ago I played a show with the guy who originally played boy Jason. He’s now a keytar player who writes songs from Jason’s perspective and books tours off that notoriety. He stayed in his van until about 5 minutes before his set and he definitely thought he was too cool to be there. His name is Ari and the band is called “first Jason”. My band took the gig because we were told if we played it, the organizers would give us a spot opening for Gwar a few months later. Unfortunately, Gwar ended up canceling so we only opened for First Jason. It was at a skeezy biker bar and there was a “bad tattoo” contest. my guitarist won a free tattoo coverup because his “I love Matt Damon” heart/scroll tattoo was the worst tattoo in the building. Anyway, go listen to First Jason. It’s bonkers.
Jason X is BASED. One of the best films in the franchise. I laughed so much, it was genuinely one of the best schlock comedy movies and it knows it and doesn't pretend to be something serious.

This needs to continue with Freddy vs Jason and the 2009 remake!! Remake's Jason is my favorite portrayal of the character and the intro of that movie is goated
Oh thank goodness! I am so grateful that Mike said that the ending of part 8, when Jason turned to a child was probably in Rennie's mind. Every other reviewer claims that the toxic waste transformed him, with absolutely no regard to the possibility that it was just another hallucination.
It’s wild that Mike says it’s “like talking to a 14 year old” when Jay has Friday the 13th trivia, considering that Mike is a *Trekkie*. Pot & Kettle scenario.
Except that the Jason franchise is like 2.5 barely decent movies out of 10 and Star Trek has entire seasons of good content
Almost like they are friends joking with each other!!!! Someone think of the children!!!
It was weird. Couldn’t tell if it was purely a joke, or Mike trying to funny while buzzed…which backfires sometimes. Especially as you get older.

Jason goes to Hell actually was supposed to tie Jason to Evil Dead. Originally it was supposed to be the Pamela Voorhees used the Necronomicon to bring Jason back as a dead deadite, and even the dagger that kills him at the end was meant to be the Kandairian Dagger from Evil Dead, but they couldn't get the rights to do the tie in stuff, so now it's just an Easter Egg.
No it wasn't...That was never an idea until that stupid awful comic came out.....That was NOT meant to be anything more than an easter egg for evil dead fans in Jason goes to hell, because the director knew sam raimi. They literally say it in Crystal Lake Memories, he thought they looked cool, he knew Sam Raimi so he asked him IF he could put them in the movie as an easter egg. There was NEVER meant to be anything about Jason being a deadite, nothing about the necronomicon, they were just mean to be "cool" easter eggs.
@@lutherheggs451 Literally a quote from Adam Marcus to Syfy Wire in 2018
"When we were pre-producing the movie, Bob Kurtzman and the guys at KNB said we're gonna do the effects on the movie. So I got to go on Sam Raimi's set for Army of Darkness. I asked Bob if Sam would lend me the Necronomicon for Jason Goes To Hell. I let Bob in on my secret plan and knew I couldn't say Deadite or Evil Dead in the movie because Universal owned the rights. If I just take that prop and put it in the Voorhees house, and use the Kandarian dagger as the thing that kills Jason, what I'm doing is setting up a mythology that Jason's mom wanted her so back so badly that she made a deal with the darkness. So she reads from the Necronomicon and brings about the resurrection of her son, so now the fact he lived at the bottom of the lake and grows two feet makes sense."
I love that that guy was so set on the “purity” of the Friday the thirteenth franchise that he was legitimately ready to reject reality “evil dead fans are losers how dare you suggest that my stupid franchise be connected “
@@OxMann13in a movie nothing happens just because! But this people man.... Sigh
Ash versus Jason might have been pretty interesting. Guy that's inexplicably hard to kill versus guy that keeps coming back to life.
Being a young chilld watching the Friday series - out of order and lacking wisdom at that age - my earliest conception of Jason Vorhees was that he was ALWAYS an undead killing machine, having IN FACT ( not a dream sequence ) risen from the lake at the end of the first movie to avenge his mother.
“Your love of these movies is embarrassing.”
Damn Mike
Rich and Mike have taught me so much about star trek that I was able to immediately recognize the actor and remember which episode of season 1 he was in. (I have never seen a single episode of star trek before in my life)
You know Jason X is a true Vancouver production when two of its stars are pulled from the old Kevin Sorbo syndicated show, Andromeda.
Probably even borrowed some sets.
And they swapped which actress was the robot.
"Well one in every 5 people have psychic abilities so I guess it makes sense"
Sure Mike, just drop that one in there with no elaboration 🤣
He probably got that statistic directly from Zak Bagans so I'm sure it's reliable.
I have it, it owns. I like to undo people's belts while they're carrying heavy stuff so that they can't stop their pants from sliding down, usually they trip and fall.

The fact that they breezed by the Natalie Holloway joke like it was just a fact is incredible
I was so expecting an editing joke.
I love that Kelly Hu who plays one of Jason’s victims in part 8 was able to move into voice acting. So that she can work on projects like MKX, a game that would have Jason as a guest character.
She'll always be the hot sorceress in the Scorpion King to me.
I love that two people from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning are in return of the Living Dead, both which came out in 1985.

They really got famous voice actor Mike Stoklasa to sing their intro acapella for the second half of a Friday the 13th discussion. Red Letter Media is really upping the quality these days.
He's only famous for being Rich Evans' friend
Mike's mini stroke at 31:39 might be one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
I love that Mike compares Jay to a 14 year old and then later mentions Babylon 5, Star Trek Deep Space 9, etc. Let's be honest, we're all still 14 year olds.
My 12 year old is basically a 14 year old.
You'd have to be 40 to remember those Star Trek vehicles
@@SnoopyReads Ouch in a lot of ways I think DS9 is the best of star trek and it copied Babylon 5 in a lot of ways. So if anything the best thing star trek ever did was a Straczynski vehicle with a better budget.

Don't forget Seaquest DSV
Fun Fact: Jason Goes to Hell was supposed to set up a 3 way crossover fight with Freddy and Ash until the rights fell apart
Thankfully we still got the comic series of what that movie would have been.
@@Havik61 would've liked it if it was a fun blockbuster film but the legal rights is a horror story on its own
@@willandwillstudios Yeah NO....The rights weren't some horror show.....New Line/ Cunningham owned the rights to Jason, Pamela Vorhees and Crystal Lake. The ONLY thing they didn't have the rights to was the actual Friday the 13th name and, they could not reference anything from the previous films, that's why it was Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X. The only thing that actually prevented them from doing it, besides that comic is god awful and stupid is Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell who wanted complete control and wanted Ash to kill Freddy and Jason.
@@lutherheggs451 I mean, I don't think anyone would be happy to see Ash Williams die.
Pinhead was supposed to referee.
Jason X would've been seriously funny if science is so advanced that the crew members can't die and you just go all out with this concept by having the main characters not really... seeing him as a mild annoyance. The only thing annoying them is they can't seem to catch him because he's magic and everyone in space doesn't believe in that anymore. Also make the passengers even more loose since it's the far future.
Jason vs. the Culture
I wouldn't say the way Tommy was trying to kill Jason was completely made up. The Wikipedia on draugr (superhuman Norse revenant) states that "In legends, the hero would often have to wrestle the draugr back to his grave, thereby defeating him," vampires need to be staked into their coffins so they can't escape them again, and undead creatures having some weakness in whatever originally killed them is hardly a novel idea.
The real problem is that, according to part 2, Jason didn't actually drown in the lake to begin with
There is literally a scene where he is sitting in his truck reading a book about "the occult"....That is literally where he gets the idea from, he didn't have that idea until that scene
@@lutherheggs451 Yeah, that too
@@lutherheggs451I literally remember that scene. Literally.

Mike, with no irony at all, put Jay on blast for his knowledge of Friday the 13th actors, while in the same video and many times in the past has done the same thing with Star Trek. I love it.
its only embarrassing and nerdy when its not mike doing it. thems the rules
"with no irony at all"
the duality of man
The unmasking of Jason (and the following standoff) in Part 7 is a truly terrifying moment in the series. Had that movie not been butchered post production, it very well could have been the best of the lot.
wish they were able to get the carrie license.
It's still my favorite in the franchise. Part 6 is my 2nd
When the town's people got together and chanted "Evil Dies tonight!" I felt that, and it reminded of the BLM rallies and marches I used as cover to loot VCRs
@@SnoopyReadsthats a farrrr right wing propaganda talking point! No one looted during those protests for racial justice!
@@NicholasBennett-sm8rj mine is 6 followed by 7, then 1-4.
Jason X is the greatest, stupidest horror movie of my childhood, and I'm so glad they appreciated it for what was. That sleeping bag scene is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
The best Friday is Dream Warriors. I loved it when Jason completed the puzzle box, screamed Welcome to Prime Time and jumped off the spaceship
That was kinda out of character for Jason to scream it, but the acting was amazing so see no problem with that
When Jason dressed up like the Wicked Witch 🧙♀️ my expectations were met
Evil really died those night
I liked that movie but the blood orgy scene really messed me up
Dream Warriors wasn't bad, but in hindsight it may have been a mistake to cross over with the Police Academy franchise and have Jason go on wacky cop adventures with Mahoney and Tackleberry.
Mike singing the intro music, while both him and Jay do the "Old Man" dance had me in tears. Love the videos you guys put out, and hope you all have a very Happy Halloween
It's so refreshing to see Jay slowly morphing into Charles Manson for this Halloween season!
Jason x always felt like one of those high concept Voyager episodes with loads of deaths, that they never mention afterwards.
I still want a movie where Jason walks home from New York to Crystal Lake - encountering people along the way who render him the hero by default because of how awful they are.
He "saves" a little girl, she thanks him and runs away, he finally makes it back to the shack, caresses his Mother's head, sits down, and just SLEEPS.
So basically the Jason version of Saw X where the villain becomes a sympathetic antihero? I can dig it.
Why does this make me think of David Lynch's 'The Straight Story'...?
Harry Dean Stanton as Jason's uncle, maybe?
@@barahng Yeah basically, I always wanted to see Jason help a kid (but not without scarring them for life and terrifying the hell out of them). I wish Don't Breathe 2's plot had been used for a Jason film, that way, a rapist wouldn't have been the anti-hero.
So like Frankenstein, the film
He walks part way, but he also rides that deer that he meets in upstate NJ
This is the most "Normal" Mike has ever looked, and I am here for it
I haven't even watched this video yet but Rich Evans yelling was my favorite part
I know what that is!
Jay said that no one knew what was going on and had agency by trying to stop Jason until Tommy, but he forgot about the guy who showed up in the same movie Tommy was introduced. The guy with the gun who lived in a tent who wanted to avenge his murdered sister. AKA the guy who got killed by Jason in the Basement while yelling he's killing me!
I envision a young man, experiencing ‘Jason 9’ as his first foray into the ‘Friday the 13th’ series. He might find himself puzzled by the stark contrast in Jason’s character across the different films, particularly with regards to the loss of his body switching powers and the absence of the established magical Voorhees lore.
Jay talking to Mike about Star Trek has the same energy as listening to your grandpa tell the same story for the 50th time.
NGL Jason X is my favorite in the franchise. It’s just the right kind of dumb.
"Which I kind of appreciate cause they're like, it doesn't matter, we're on Part Nine, he's just back." ... Somehow, Jason returned.
I love that these horror series Re:Views with Jay and Mike are like a parallel series to Mike and Rich's Startrek Re:Views
It's such a complicated triangle.
I guess it's Jay with either Mike OR Rich, seeing how Rich has done all the John Carpenter movies and Near Dark
The idea Mike has at the end, of making an iconic horror character with planned sequels with a serialized story was done with Saw.
As a child I’d always imagine Jason beating up/ killing what scared me.. He was more of a superhero to me :p
Will always be one of my favorite characters of all time.
On Mike’s last point about extensively planning out a horror franchise ahead of filming, your average audience might wonder why there were so many setups and lore in the movie when all they wanted were some creative kills and jump scares
55:30 My theory on the Halloween stuff is that DGG mentions how he originally pitched a two part film, but then didn't want to blow their load if people hated the first. So he put together his best ideas that would work for a single film. When the movie was more successful than anybody could ever predicted, he revisited those unused ideas and try to make movies revolve around them. With Exorcist I have no idea what they were going at other than the demon who is not mentioned by name in the film is credited as Lamastu on wikipedia and other websites is said to be rival to Pazuzu. So maybe the idea was to do a vomit kamehameha fight with Pazuzu in the sequels.
🎶Colin? Are you there?🎶
🎶Colin? Why didnt you never tell me this?🎶
Always loved Jason X. Just hilarious 😂
The first Jason movie that I watched was "Jason X" behind my parents back cause they told me it was too "scary", so when I did I remember being so disappointed because I was not scared, in fact I thought it was too funny actually, after that day till now I never trusted my parents ever again
The sleeping bag kill is my generation's Rosebud.
On Part 8, The Flop House podcast recently went through the film, and one of them suggested that it should have been called "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Dead Tide". I personally loved that idea.
9:31 A neat explanation would've been that the ghost of Jason's mother is haunting him, keeping him alive and guiding him. Jason himself is a juggernaut.
Mike's cover of the re:view intro is something i will live with for the rest of my life
Who knew Mike had such a beautiful singing voice 💜💜
Jay's hair is supernatural. He's really come a long way.
I'd always wondered how and why out of nowhere her healthy and seemingly alive dad burst through the dock to grab Jason. It makes so much more sense that he was supposed to be a decaying corpse.
I took it to be a hallucination on Tina's part, so his appearance doesn't bother me. Tina did all the work.
I don't care either way. They set up something in the beginning and paid it off in the end. That's more than I expect from a Friday the 13th movie.
I think the filmmakers went with the normal-looking dad so that the audience would recognize him.
@@SupremeGreatGrandmaster The movie was very heavily censored before release. When Jay talks about it at 17:30, there are photos of the original corpse-dad make-up as well as a clip of corpse-dad in the original work-print. Normal-dad almost certainly was never the filmmaker's intent; it was just one of the many things that had to be removed or re-shot to appease seemingly near puritanical censors.
That's crazy! They had the decayed body of the mother, pop up in pt.3.....
@@Hu...R-U2024 Around the 1980s, there was a massive "moral guardians" (parents, Christians, politicians, etc) movement pushing for heavier censorship all around
Tipper Gore waged her war against the music industry. Jesse Helms waged his war against Robert Mapplethorpe and the art industry. Satanic Panic was in full swing. Leaders like Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham pushed the Christian fundamentalists forward. And of course there were complaints about movies showing graphic violence, gore, and "objectionable" content in general.
The MPAA went particularly hard against slasher movies. Movies had to be hacked apart to avoid the deadly X rating. X was seen as the "pornography" rating, and regular theaters wouldn't show X-rated films. In 1990, the X rating was retired and replaced by the NC-17 rating, and the MPAA started relaxing again.
As i said on the last one. I liked Tina. She was the only character I remember pulling for to live in the whole series. Good to see someone not just do something stupid and died. Was it silly? Yes. Was it fun? Yes. And also she was a good actress. Glad she refused to come back just to die.
Tina exists because they couldn't get the rights to use the actual Carrie. It was discussed and they did look into it but were told no so they just created their own legally distinct character.
@@lutherheggs451 The movie was pitched as "Jason vs Carrie" in a figurative sense but they never actually tried to get Carrie. Dunno where you're pulling your false info from, unless you're either trolling or getting confused with the fact that they originally wanted part VII to be Freddy vs Jason but New Line told them no.
I’ve always been a big fan of Friday the 13th: The Series.
25:42 i like how Jay just ignores Mikes attempt to make him laugh, cuz you know Rich woulda burst out laughing at that....
Jason on a boat does sound like a fantastic setting given the isolation and the lack of escape routes. Maybe the coward of the group takes the only escape raft and gets eaten by sharks to enforce that swimming isn't an option. The cast can try fixing the engine or calling for the coast guard as Jason continues picking them off, the premise really has a lot of potential. I'd even have it end on a cliffhanger with a seemingly drowned Jason walking out to shore with Manhattan in the distance, than you can have an actual Jason Takes Manhattan sequel.
It IS a good idea. The heroes would have to figure a way to get Jason into the water so he drowns without getting killed by him. They'd have to trick Jason and trap him.
Here's a thought: the boat Jason gets on is a anti-oil drilling protest boat. He kills a few people early on, then a storm hits, and the drillers let the hippies onto the platform since they know if they all drown right next to a stable oil rig it'll be terrible publicity for them. Now it's Jason on an offshore oil rig during a storm. The hippies think the evil oil drillers are killing them off; the drillers think the crazy hippies are killing them off. Eventually the remaining people have to work together to beat Jason. Obviously the big conclusion will have the platform explode.
@@ethansloan Damn! That's good. Better than what I was thinking of.
There are some fairly large cruise ships
Lake sharks? Just give Jason power over unrecovered bodies in the lake that seems to have more people than fish in it. As soon as you hit the water you get dragged down like Jason did in previous movie.
Jason X is an amazing movie. My favorite of those films by far. Very entertaining
Can we have more re:views of horror franchises? These are a lot of fun!

@@joshuanelson6795 They should do whatever it is they want to cover, but a Hellraiser re:view or series re:view would definitely be cool.
Bit of a missed opportunity not mentioning how the 'nerdy guy in the glasses' in Jason Goes to Hell was John D. LeMay, previously known as the star of Friday the 13th: The Series. Which is not in any way connected to these films, but served as a heavy inspiration for The X-Files.
The Series is amazing, spinning a "monkey's paw" mcguffin into entertaining stories for several seasons. It is very much a who's who of Canadian talent of the time. I re-watched it during lockdown and IMO it held up well for its kind of pulpy nonsense.
Yeah they literally did mention that
@@raouldukestudios Not in this video. They didn't talk about the 80s 'The Series' until the Trivia episode that was released after this.

Part 6 absolutely RULES I love it so much!
Sad they didn't talk about Freddy vs Jason or Friday the 13th (2009) but a great video as always!
Jay looking like a 70s rock star. 😅
23:45 originally Part 8 would be a continuation of Part 7 with Tina returning which makes the social awkwardness and psychic link make a lot more sense. Also a telekinetic girl fighting Jason in New York would've been such good schlock
It wasn't gonna be set in Manhattan because I believe the director or Lar Park Lincoln wrote a treatment where Tina's taken to a psychiatrist hospital and Jason comes to life and wants revenge. (Like Dream Warriors.) The screenwriter for Jason Takes Manhattan wiped everything clean with the intention that it was gonna be the last one and introduced a protagonist who was directly connected to Jason. But it wasn't for Tina as at that point, she was asking too much money to come back but Paramount simply said no.
The continuity errors with the lore, to me, is just part of the weird mythos of these slasher icons. Maybe it's because I'm younger, but the sequels almost lend themselves closer to being the stories kids would make up about a recent shocking event and how each iteration would gain new bits and pieces until the story of Jason slashing up horny teens becomes a body-hopping demonic force that requires a magical bone saber to kill it. And if you did a horror series with that as a subtle overlay, it might work from a storytelling standpoint.
Ever see "It Follows". Great movie
I agree, that would be a great way to "smooth out the wrinkles" so to speak.
Warhammer 40'000 (not to get too nerdy) kinda does that. It has a metric fuckton of lore, and a lot of it is conflicting or downright contradictive. But it doesn't matter because EVERY bit of lore is meant to be seen as one faction or another's take on it, or propaganda, or some agenda'd distortion of events, rather than an actual factual retelling of events exactly as they happened.
@@Bear_Andersen It's absolutely an underused concept, but the unreliable narrator is the perfect way to smooth that kind of stuff over and that's exactly what that sounds like. On paper, it would sound lazy, but if that was the wrap up at the end, that all of the preceding had been campfire stories embellished and changed over time and the real killer actually only was active for one night and killed like three people, it would be the best twist, kind of swerve ending you could do for a franchise.
@@m.g.trazor417 all I have to say to that is I wholeheartedly agree
Mike's mind goes to Johnny 5 before Frankenstein, truly a film aficionado.
Jason X is a fucking masterpiece. One of my favorite movies of all time
Since these movies tossed out any coherence long ago, I wanted the follow-up of Jason X to be Jason in the Wild West. I figured since he made it to the future, they could establish the invention of time travel and finagle way to send Voorhees back. Just think of all the dumb possibilities, like mayhem in a saloon, or Jason donning a cowboy hat and riding a horse.
Sounds fun. I'd watch that! Hell "Jason Across Time" could be its own little semi-series covering a handful of movies.
the psychic link thing in Part 8 is leftovers from an original draft that was written with the girl from Part 7 returning in mind. When Lar Park Lincoln turned the role down because it wasn't a good enough payday they rewrote it but kept the psychic thing in.
20:21 9 or 10 years ago I played a show with the guy who originally played boy Jason. He’s now a keytar player who writes songs from Jason’s perspective and books tours off that notoriety. He stayed in his van until about 5 minutes before his set and he definitely thought he was too cool to be there.
His name is Ari and the band is called “first Jason”. My band took the gig because we were told if we played it, the organizers would give us a spot opening for Gwar a few months later.
Unfortunately, Gwar ended up canceling so we only opened for First Jason. It was at a skeezy biker bar and there was a “bad tattoo” contest. my guitarist won a free tattoo coverup because his “I love Matt Damon” heart/scroll tattoo was the worst tattoo in the building.
Anyway, go listen to First Jason. It’s bonkers.
God I love that goofy ass synth orchestra song from Jason Goes to Hell so much
Jason X is BASED.
