Welcome to episode 7 of Bede & Steve Vs. Camp Crystal Lake. The official spin-off podcast to Bede Vs. The Living Dead, where your hosts Bede Jermyn & Steven T. Boltz explore the classic slasher franchise Friday The 13th, along with its rip-offs, fan films, unproduced scripts, TV shows, comic books and so much more.
After both box office and surprising critical success of the sixth entry Jason Lives, it showed that there was still life left in the Friday The 13th series. Now that the "Tommy Jarvis" saga of the franchise is done and dusted, it was time to take Jason's adventures in a new and unexpected direction. For this episode, your hosts Bede & Steve take a look at the seventh instalment Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood, which was directed by special make-up effects artist-turned-filmmaker John Carl Buechler (Troll, Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go To College).
Joining your hosts to discuss this seventh entry are first-time guests Andrew Shaw and filmmaker Paul Anthony Nelson (director of the films Trench and Appartions, which you can check out here). Highlights in this episode include Andrew & Paul discussing their introductions to the Friday The 13th series, which legendary filmmaker did the producers want to direct this one?, what did we think of Kane Hodder's first time out as Jason, how the MPAA cut this sequel to shreds, what the superpowered main character of Tina brings to the series, appreciating Susan Jennifer Sullivan's turn as Melissa and so much more.
