We were lucky to avoid a mutiny when George found out that hockey-masked slasher Jason was neither masked nor slashing in the original Friday the 13th. We promised him that we would make it up to him by provided the exact lumbering and hockey-masked Jason (which he was promised by Freddy vs Jason) in Friday the 13th Part 2. We lied. But how will he take it?

Will George (once again) be disappointed at the lack of hockey-masked slashers? How will Travis cope with the revelations within regarding The Town that Dreaded Sundown? Why is Dan really so hung up on the jurisdictional issues surrounding the police of Crystal Lake? 

This episode contains a standard-length episode with an additional second half containing analysis and evaluation of two films: The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) and A Bay of Blood (1971). Both films are significant influences on Friday the 13th Part 2. As it stands, you can listen to the episode without once pausing or referencing the movies discussed. But, as you will hear, the effects on first-time-viewers George and Travis are substantial.

During the episode Dan announces the time stamps for Town, if you would like to pause the show and watch the clips you should do so! The Town that Dreaded Sundown (1976) is available at time of publishing on Amazon Prime (or on Blu-Ray). A Bay of Blood can be found on YouTube and is also available on Blu-Ray. We have condensed our live viewings for time (and for listenability) but you are encouraged to use the maps below to watch the clips before George and Travis.

George hasn't seen Friday the 13th, but he has seen Freddy Vs. Jason. And he is excited to see if Jason's first outing can match what Halloween did with Michael Myers.

Will George be disappointed at the lack of hockey-masked slashers? Does Travis share more geographical insight? Can Dan manage to ruin another movie for Travis?

George hasn't seen Halloween. He doesn't know the horrors that await. But Travis and Dan insist he put on the coveralls and Captain Kirk mask to really get into Michael Myers' skin and experience John Carpenter's masterpiece.

Will George ever figure out the geography of Haddonfield? Can Travis ever find it in his heart to forgive Dan for ruining this movie for him? Does Dan's theory on Michael Myers' FBI profile hold water? Join us and find out!

Not News: George hasn't seen the Matrix. Big News: George has wanted to see this one for a long time. Travis and Dan are here too, but for once George was actually anticipating this one. Does that change things?

Did George finally learn to let a movie take him on a journey without him trying to ruin the ending for himself? Why is Travis talking about a certain human appendage? What insane conspiracy theory is Dan ranting about?

The following images are referenced in the discussion. 

George loves the guitar. He plays the blues. But... he's never seen the Blues Brothers? Travis and Dan are plugging George into the Truth this week. With a little help from Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn.

Can George make sense of the calamity? Does Travis ever find out the truth about Tammy Wynette? Why is Dan giving hot takes about The Predator during a Blues Brothers podcast? Tune in and find out!

George has seen the Nolan trilogy, but he has no idea what he is in for with the Tim Burton version of Batman. Travis and Dan, Prince soundtrack in hand, are here to rescue George from his own naivete. 

Will Burton's Bat live up to George's Nolan-based expectation? Can Travis convince George that miniatures and rotoscoping are still relevant? Does Dan build a compelling argument for a Batman that kills? Tune in and find out!

George hasn't seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He thinks he knows what he is in for, but he really has no idea. Travis and Dan are here to drag him on a road trip through rural Texas. And they are picking up every hitchhiker they can find.

Did George foresee any of the twists? Did Travis have to adjust the tracking on the VHS? Where is Dan going to put the 13.1 speakers necessary to hear the new sound mix!? Join us to find out!

George hasn't seen Stand By Me. Sadly, by now you and we realize that this is no surprise. It is, instead, an opportunity. Travis and Dan take this opportunity to chase him with metaphorical trains and leaches right into a classic 80s nostalgia trip into the past.

Why is George so empathetic to the leach incident? Is Travis a victim of nostalgia, or a perpetrator? Why is Dan feeling new levels of dread because of this flick? Join us and find out!

Alert. Alert. George has heard of Clerks. He knew it was a movie and he even knew it took place in New Jersey! But... well, that is all he knew. So Travis and Dan gladly filled in the details.

Will George understand why Clerks is so well loved? Or will he take some convincing? Can Travis get the funding together for his rather spiteful side project? How many times does Dan need to be reminded about parking lot etiquette? Join us to find out!

George hasn't seen an American werewolf. Not in London nor in France. Not in a dress nor even in pants. But thankfully Travis is leading this lesson, while Dan is drinking hot Dr. Pepper, with lemon.

Will George find this one to be a Thriller? Can Travis manage his Landis-Mania? Will Dan mention Warren Zevon... again?! Tune in to find out!
