Oli's First Friday The 13th (1980)

Thank Jason it’s Friday!! That’s right, we’re headed back to Camp Crystal Lake - but with a newbie this time: my own 13-year-old, Oli!! What is it like for someone who knows a little about 1980’s FRIDAY THE 13th from hanging around his old man but doesn’t know any of the big twists? Find out as Patrick and Gena quiz a middle schooler on the finer points of this slasher classic and ask all the important questions: Why is it so cold during New Jersey summers? What does Gene Siskel look like in your mind? Will we ever cover SHARKS OF THE CORN? Are we taking the original #GetBunked death too seriously? Can you escape a moving van without an ankle injury? What is the best nickname for Pamela Voorhees? When was the first time you saw Kevin Bacon’s butt? And the biggest question of all… why is Old Spice blue? All this, plus an exceptionally youth-driven Choose Your Own Deathventure and trying to convince a teen that the Theme of The Pink Panther is very, very scary!! He was warned. He’s doomed. He’s pretty darn cute.
