August 15, 2019 Episode 17: ADAM MARCUS (Director, JASON GOES TO HELL)
Mike had the chance to sit down with Adam Marcus, the director of what might be the most divisive entry in all of the Friday the 13th series. Adam was unbelievably generous with his time, and open to talking about his experience with the series, bot the good and the arts. From his relationship with Sean Cunningham, why he didn't feel the pressure others might after being handed the reigns to a long running and beloved franchise, to how having a more mature cast influenced his vision, why he calls Jason a Deadite and not a zombie, and delivers a frank response to critics that complain there's not enough Jason in his movie, Marcus holds nothing back. It a fun, funny conversation that we think you're going to love.

August 12, 2019 Episode 18: FREDDY VS. JASON (part one)
For a showdown two decades in the making, we couldn't just do a regular episode. Our breakdown of Freddy vs Jason is divided up into two shows.
For part one, Mike, Jerry and guest host Alex DiVincenzo (Broke Horror Fan) look at the turbulent history of trying to get FvJ made. Filled with failed pitches that included child-killer worshiping "Fredheads", "is it a dream or reality?" the Jason of the movies not really being the "real" killer Voorhees and a cult-leader with the most 90s goth-kid name ever of Dominic Necros, the path to get to this idea to screen could have been a movie in and of itself.

July 29, 2019 Episode 15: JASON GOES TO HELL
This week we look back at what might be the most divisive entry in the whole Friday the 13th series. For the 1st time since the original, Sean Cunningham is back pulling the strings, but what he and director Adam Marcus want from a Jason movie might be much different from what fans expect. We are joined by Mike Vanderbilt of Daily Grindhouse & Jason Parker of http://www.fridaythe13thfranchise.com/
to break down why this movie deserves another look and greater appreciation from fans.

July 08, 2019 Episode 11: JOHN CARPENTER'S CHRISTINE (Listener's Choice)
Hell Hath No Fury like a Plymouth Fury scorned. Our guests had to duck out this week so are Friday the 13th journey takes a one week pause. Rather than take a break, Jerry and Mike put it to you our listeners to choose a one-off film from the Master of Horror himself, John Carpenter. Your choice: the 1983 adaptation of Steven King's killer-car novel, Christine. We talk queer themes, sexual confusion, Carpenter taking a stab at a teen coming of age movie while leaving out the blood and guts, and why this score is criminally underrated.
