Ooh, baby! We’re about to cross the 200-episode milestone of our show, and we have yet to cover a proper Friday the 13th movie. So we figured why not get one in at the last minute? Or at least the one where it’s not even Jason but an imposter. That’s right: if you’ve managed to avoid this spoiler for 40 years, Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning is one of the few Jason-less Friday the 13th films, and it’s buck wild. Can a movie be as (literally) dirty as it is horny? Grab some enchiladas and come along with us to find out as we discuss the film plus what went on behind on the scenes (nothing good, it turns out), paying to “prank” your vehicle, and the best Hitchcock film for the lead character to soil themselves in. All of that and a hell of a lot more with special guest Brad Anderson of the Not a Bomb podcast.
You can check out Not a Bomb on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning stars Melanie Kinnaman, John Shepherd, Shavar Ross, Richard Young, and Marco St. John. Directed by Danny Steinmann.
