Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Lee Shoquist of ChicagoFilm.com pack their bags for the Big Apple, allowing for a quick layover in Crystal Lake. Yes, we’re in month eight of our year-long Friday the 40th series, and have finally arrived at Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan!

Much like the film itself, the guys spend much more time talking about shenanigans on a boat than they do exploring Rob Hedden’s use of Vancouver (sorry, “New York”). In this hour-plus autopsy of the final Paramount Friday film, the guys talk the bonkers disregard for continuity and the limitations of Jason Voorhees’ powers; the moral quandary of watching helpless teens beg for their lives as entertainment; and why the teen drama thoroughly outshines the tepid stalk-and-slash elements in this particular outing.

Start spreading the news: Episode 569 is coming for you!
