If Jason still haunts you…you’re not alone! This week, Peaches and Michael are feeling “reckless” in celebration of 1985’s FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING! In addition to celebrating the 40th anniversary of this hotly debated 5th franchise entry, our hosts dig into how the saga of Tommy Jarvis almost took Jason Voorhees’ legacy into a totally different direction! Joining the conversation is Ultra Violent Magazine’s Art Ettinger, who details how discovering this classic sequel at a young age led to a lifelong obsession. Then, the film’s star and iconic final girl Melanie Kinnaman stops by to share memories of making the film and what it’s been like watching the cult of Part V continue to grow. From van enchiladas to chainsaw-wielding action, this episode has it all!
