June is making sure all the monkey shots getting paid. They judge a bunch of movies while they making the grade. Here's a real question for you. How did this get made?
June Diane Raphael
Hello people over and hello people of Largo. We are live here in Los Angeles at Largo at the Cornet, our LA home. And we love this place. It's so fantastic. If you're in la, come check out a show here. Not just our show, but the many amazing shows that are here. We have an amazing audience, a ten o' clock audience. I know the people at home, they don't know what that difference is. But you guys bring the heat. You're a little bit more drunk, you're a little bit more alive. And we appreciate it.
Rob Huebel
We need it.
June Diane Raphael
Because today is our Halloween episode. And what better way to see celebrate Halloween than with the death of a franchise? Here to talk to me tonight about this film is my co host, Jason Manzoukas. Welcome.
Shirley
What's up jerks?
June Diane Raphael
Welcome, Jason.
Shirley
Thank you, Paul.
June Diane Raphael
Jason, a movie of your namesake.
Shirley
Oh, thank God. Finally. Finally. All of the requests for this movie franchise to be talked about so that my name can be in it have been answered. And here we are, Jason X. Now, the movie about Jason Voorhees and Malcolm X combined into so many people.
June Diane Raphael
So many people had the Jason X, Pat.
Shirley
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
So many people. Jason, where do you fall in the Friday the 13th when I tell you zero? Yeah.
Shirley
A lot of my notes are reminders to ask you guys or the nerds what the myth. It took me until the very end of the movie to be like, oh, right. No, Jason is the main character.
June Diane Raphael
Well.
Shirley
Cause I was like, I think he's gonna kill all the people.
June Diane Raphael
But here's the thing. I find myself in the same camp. I've seen a handful of Jason movies. I think one of our guests tonight will have a little bit more knowledge than us. But I believe that someone with our knowledge level wrote this movie. Like, it didn't feel like it was a lot of deep dive.
Shirley
No. The person watched aliens rewrote it, and instead of an alien, it was Jason. And they were like, that's the fucking movie.
June Diane Raphael
I literally.
Shirley
There's an Android, there's a ship, and all of it. It's the same thing.
June Diane Raphael
I literally feel like it was a fever dream that happened in 2001.
Shirley
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
Like Jason in space. And then that was about all the thought process.
Shirley
I feel like there was a phone call at one point that was like, hey, you remember when you said Jason in space as a joke, we're gonna do it. And the person was like, I don't think you should. I was very much joking.
June Diane Raphael
There was an odd, though, because the Leprechaun franchise, a movie we also did here on the show, also went to space. Leprechaun in space. I feel like there was a couple moments where like, ah, fuck it.
Shirley
I don't know.
June Diane Raphael
Put them on.
Shirley
Space heightening. It's like, that's. That's just heightening. Well, where else do we gotta go?
June Diane Raphael
Space. Space.
Shirley
Oh, I guess so. I guess that's what we're doing. Well, Fast and Furious in space.
June Diane Raphael
By the way, I don't wanna take credit for this.
Shirley
I think Fast 10 is a mashup of the Fast and Furious movies with Apollo 10.
June Diane Raphael
I'll take it. I don't want to say that we did this, but I believe that we mentioned that it should be in space in our podcast. And then one reporter finally got a question to F. Gary Gray about it during the press tour, and he's like, you never know. It wasn't like. No.
Shirley
Yep. It was almost more like, by additional writing by. How did this get made Podcast get us that WTA arbitration.
June Diane Raphael
Do it let's bring you guys inside.
Shirley
Union writing. Union jokes.
June Diane Raphael
Right, guys? We have a lot of specific material.
Shirley
About arbitration, stories, characters, Writers Guild healthcare plans.
June Diane Raphael
We struck, we won. We're ready to go back there.
Shirley
Writers Guild east and a West, unclear.
June Diane Raphael
What if this whole show just became really a deep dive into who gets all the credits. This is based on a story by.
Shirley
Obviously characters, but screenplay by someone else.
June Diane Raphael
There you go. Tonight is a How did this get made? All star performance, which means that we have not one, but two guests who have been on the show before and are coming back again. Our first guest, you know this guy from the show Transparent on Amazon. You also know him from movies like the House and Baywatch, but more importantly, as a brand new YouTube Red series that he created. Please welcome Rob Huebel. Hube. Huh? Rob Hubel.
Shirley
Huh?
June Diane Raphael
I realize, I realized that I just said that you created a YouTube show, but I didn't give you the name. It's called.
Rob Huebel
No, don't say the name of it.
June Diane Raphael
Nope. And it fits in. And it fits in perfectly here. Do you want to see a dead body?
Rob Huebel
That's right.
June Diane Raphael
And you can be watching that on YouTube Red right now. Right now. When this comes out. This is right now. So, Rob, I believe that you have a deep knowledge base of Jason.
Rob Huebel
I heard you say that. That's not true.
June Diane Raphael
No. Really?
Rob Huebel
No.
Shirley
You're not. You don't have like.
Rob Huebel
No, I like horror movies.
Shirley
Ye.
June Diane Raphael
Not.
Rob Huebel
I don't like these. Not. Not especially like, these are not. I will say I like the song in the trailer.
Shirley
Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the party.
June Diane Raphael
And.
Shirley
And if I'm not wrong, you are going to sing our second opinions theme tonight later, right?
Rob Huebel
If the theme.
Shirley
Let the boys hit the.
June Diane Raphael
Let the opinions hit the foot.
Rob Huebel
But I appreciate I don't have a huge knowledge.
June Diane Raphael
You don't.
Rob Huebel
Okay. I've watched a bunch of them, but I was very little.
June Diane Raphael
Okay, well, then I will flip you into another story. I was a little boy. But you do have. You did almost severely injure yourself while wearing a Jason mask though, right?
Rob Huebel
I have a scar. Only you would know that story. I have a scar on my face that I. Fuck you. I have a scar on my face from a. What I thought would be a funny prank. When I was in college, a bunch of us went away on like a date situation. A bunch of couples went to a. This sounds crazy.
Shirley
Is this an orgy?
Rob Huebel
I was hoping. Oh, I hope my wife doesn't listen to this. It was college. But anyway, we all went away for a weekend To a summer camp. Somehow someone rented out this summer camp or, like. And so it was like, you know, 20 couples. And so I was very excited. I'm gonna keep this very brief. I didn't know you were gonna say that. And I thought, oh, well, I gotta scare everybody. Like, I do love being scared, and I love scaring people. So I brought a hockey mask, and I brought a long blonde wig, and I brought a hatchet with me. And so the first night, it was college. Like, everyone's drinking and smoking weed and partying, and I was like. It got really late, and I was like, oh, I can't wait. I can't wait to scare everybody. And so I put on my hockey mask and my wig, and I went up, and everybody was down in this, like, one, like, cabin. And I remember, like, sitting there, like, getting full on Kane Hodder, like, just like. Like, really. And I started. So I. My. I had my hatchet and my fucking wig, and I was, like, running. And my plan was I was just gonna, like, burst into this cabin and, like, scare everyone. Well, I got. I was running, like, as fast as I could, and all of a sudden I thought someone stepped out from behind a tree and hit me in the face with a baseball bat. What it actually was, it was a children's summer camp where we were. And I ran into a clothesline. Like a wire. Like an old rusty wire. Full speed, like, as fast as. As I can run. And I can run, like, 60, 70 miles an hour.
June Diane Raphael
You're like a leopard.
Rob Huebel
So knocked off my. Anyway, I have a scar on my face.
June Diane Raphael
Thank you for that.
Shirley
I will say that story. In that story, you do use the name of the actor who plays Jason.
Rob Huebel
I do know.
Shirley
Which means you know more about this movie franchise than I.
Rob Huebel
Well, we have a good Kane Hodder story.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, we'll save older as we get into it. Our second guest tonight, fantastically funny performer. She does a show here at Largo, but she has a movie right now on Amazon Prime. It's called Landline. You can watch it right now. It's fantastic. She also is one of the stars of the new Netflix series, Big Mouth. Please welcome Jenny Slate. Welcome, welcome, Jenny. Hi. Now, you are the person that. Now, I felt bad that we made you watch us, because you are not. You're not watching horror movies.
Jason Mantzoukas
Furious. I really didn't know that this would be the kind of movie.
Shirley
And in fact, we got you to agree.
Jason Mantzoukas
Let me tell you what, Jason, that he was texting to see if I was feeling okay, because I had the flu for like 90 years. And then it was like in the Are you okay?
June Diane Raphael
Blah, blah, blah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Do you want to do this show? I was like, okay. And then I get a very formal email from Paul saying, be here then. Da da. The movie is Jason Eck.
Shirley
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
I was like, you've got to be kidding me. I watched it a couple hours ago. I'm literally dressed like a man because I felt like so scared. I put my largest clothes on just to leave.
Shirley
So you, you felt as though you had no recourse from fear other than to dress as a man.
Jason Mantzoukas
Look at the world around you.
Shirley
In theory, protecting yourself from certain doom because the killer would be like, oh, it's not a pretty girl. It's just some man.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, it's just a scared man. No one wants to talk to him. Who gives a hoot about that?
Shirley
Who gives us about that? Who gives a crap about that?
Jason Mantzoukas
Don't come over here.
June Diane Raphael
I will say though, I think you got off really easy because on the Scare Factor, this is not that scary.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, it's not scary at all.
Rob Huebel
Not scary.
Shirley
There's a couple of gross out moments, but that's really it.
Jason Mantzoukas
There's a lot of gross stuff.
June Diane Raphael
I would say the gross stuff has nothing to do with killing and chasing. I would say that there's two that I can think of and they both have to deal with nipples.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah.
June Diane Raphael
Let the bodies hit the floor.

Jason Mantzoukas
Me about this film and really my mouth was open the whole time. I just can't believe any of it. But that at the beginning when they're trying to decide whether or not to freeze. First of all, I don't understand why Jason's so upset, but that's another thing. But secondly, and I haven't seen any of Jason's other movies, but they're like, should we freeze him? Should we not? And then the scientist goes, this is the grossest thing I've ever heard. I want him soft.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, you want him. No, I wrote that down too.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, you don't.
June Diane Raphael
Well, first of all, let's just even step it back and go, sorry. No, no, no, you were right. I'm just saying that Crystal Lake was a campground and when this movie opens, it's the Crystal Lake Research Facility. So in some Years. This, like, kids camp has now become, like, a science.
Rob Huebel
That checks out. That totally checks out.
Shirley
You know what? I will get on board for that. Why? Other than our main. The main woman who lives to be in the future with him, you've got Jason. You've got, like, six dudes that he kills. And then it's giant facility with nobody else in it.
June Diane Raphael
That is completely.
Rob Huebel
It's a very big facility.
Shirley
It's, like, enormous.
Rob Huebel
When nobody signs is. It looks sort of like Matthew Modine.
Shirley
Yep.
Rob Huebel
I was like, is that.
Audience Member
No, it's not.
Shirley
No, it's David Cronenberg.
Rob Huebel
No, no, no, not.
Shirley
Oh, yeah, that's David Cronenberg in the very. Yeah, in the beginning. The guy that. The guy.
Jason Mantzoukas
The guy that.
Shirley
Won't you worry about it?
Paul Scheer
Okay, great.
Shirley
That's David Cronenberg. Well, by the way, David Cronenberg is like, oh, no. Cronenberg.
June Diane Raphael
And Cronenberg sets up.
Rob Huebel
He was there for, like, a day.
June Diane Raphael
Then, oh, I think an hour and a half.
Shirley
He was there for 45 seconds.
June Diane Raphael
Cronenberg sets up something that I don't believe is canon of Jason. And here you go. Take a listen.
Jason Mantzoukas
What are you doing here?
Rob Huebel
I'm taking the specimen.
Audience Member
Well, you can't. I haven't prepped the cryostasis chamber.
Rob Huebel
I don't want them frozen, Rowan. I want him soft.
Audience Member
We've already discussed this.
Rob Huebel
Yeah, well, I had to go over your head.
June Diane Raphael
I'm moving him to our Scranton.
Audience Member
Dr. Wermer, you can't risk transporting him through open country.
Rob Huebel
This isn't open for discussion. His unique ability to regenerate lost and damaged tissue, and it just.
Shirley
It cries out for more research.
Audience Member
And you're willing to risk the deaths of innocent civilians if he escapes?
Rob Huebel
Yes, but I'm sure Sergeant Marcus and his men can handle the transfer just fine.
June Diane Raphael
Sergeant, Everything's under control, man.
Shirley
We're not gonna light him at all. We're gonna have Cronenberg Litt. And the other guy, he's in the shadows.
June Diane Raphael
The other guy looks like the guy who is, like, Rambo's buddy in Rambo, but.
Paul Scheer
But.
June Diane Raphael
No, but I think. I didn't know that was a part of Jason's, like, lore that he could just regenerate like a vampire throughout the movie.
Shirley
It's as if Jason Voorhees is Wolverine.
Rob Huebel
Yeah, it's.
Shirley
And that.
June Diane Raphael
I don't think.
Rob Huebel
I don't know if they ever. I don't know if they ever said it, per se, but it's, like, implied.
June Diane Raphael
That, like, that he can come back.
Jason Mantzoukas
Is He a ghost? Is he dead?
Shirley
Does he have a soul?
June Diane Raphael
First of all, I don't understand.
Shirley
I wrote these questions. Does Jason. What is Jason? I wrote Cronenberg, exclamation point. What is Jason? Which for me is an existential note.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right? That's not even about the film.
Shirley
No, that was not about the film.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's just your stuff.
June Diane Raphael
That was.
Shirley
I just. That's from when I was just looking at myself in the mirror.
June Diane Raphael
My.
Rob Huebel
My. The first thing I wrote down, the.
June Diane Raphael
The.
Rob Huebel
The writer who wrote this is named Todd Farmer. And I wrote, keep your day job, Farmer. And I'm not gonna say that joke.
Shirley
Is, he's a farmer.
Rob Huebel
He's a farmer.
Shirley
He is a farmer.
June Diane Raphael
Because, I mean, Jason has no motivation as a character. He is just like. He's like, well, this is the dalit movie. Like, it would be.
Shirley
Did he ever.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. I asked my friend who I watched the movie with because I was too afraid to watch it alone. I'm sorry. I can't help it. Love being popular.
Shirley
I mean, come on. I get it. I watched it alone. I had an existential crisis. I get it. You have friends.
Rob Huebel
I was telling. Go ahead, sir.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, he said that Jason got pushed into a lake a long time ago, and he. He's upset.
Rob Huebel
It's not.
Jason Mantzoukas
But that's what. Guys, that's what I heard. That's what I heard.
Shirley
But, Jenny, I have an upset.
Jason Mantzoukas
He's upset right when he wakes up.
June Diane Raphael
Right now.
Shirley
Your friends are morons.
June Diane Raphael
Well, I will say that on the commentary track, the writer did admit to never seeing the other movies.
Shirley
Wow, that's amazing.
June Diane Raphael
And here, if you want a quick. If you want a quick look back at. At the Jason films. Part one, Jason's mother is Jason. She's stalking and murder.
Shirley
She is Jason.
June Diane Raphael
Yes. She's wearing the mask, and she is stalking and murdering the teenagers of Camp Crystal Lake because Jason drowned in the lake due to their negligence. Yeah, so that's a cool idea. She's decapitated at the end.
Shirley
So it's like a revenge story for the monster. Yes.
Rob Huebel
So let's go to outer space.
Audience Member
No.
June Diane Raphael
And then part two. Jason is alive and he's a fully grown man. He returns to Crystal Lake to guard it from intruders. Five years after the events of the first film, Jason murders a new group of campers. And then the final girl finds a shrine in the woods to Mrs. Voorhees head. And then Jason kills her with a machete.
Rob Huebel
This reminds me of when I was a little boy.
June Diane Raphael
Oh, no. She killed. She Kills Jason with a machete. Part 3. Jason removes the machete from his shoulder and finds his way to a local farm where he hides in the barn and kills anyone who comes in. And then finds a hockey mask to hide his face. And then it seemingly.
Shirley
That's when the hockey mask arrives. Well, there's no hockey mask in previous movies.
June Diane Raphael
I think there had to be, maybe. Oh, wow.
Shirley
You shut your mouth. Thank you for that information. Wait, What? It's almost at the end of the third movie.
June Diane Raphael
Oh, it's almost at the end. So Jason finds Dr.
Shirley
In the early movies. What is he wearing on his dumb face?
June Diane Raphael
You see him from the back?
Jason Mantzoukas
Bag.
Rob Huebel
A bag.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah.
June Diane Raphael
He's wearing a bag.
Rob Huebel
He's wearing like a burlap set.
Shirley
Like a burlap set.
Jason Mantzoukas
I get it.
Rob Huebel
Yeah. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah.
Shirley
Wait, for real?
Rob Huebel
Yeah.
Shirley
He'S not into wearing anything. It's just his mom's nude. Not for nothing, consider yourself about to be watched Friday the 13th one.
June Diane Raphael
So if you tell me there's nudes.
Shirley
What do you think my preferred channel on pornhub is?
June Diane Raphael
So if you couldn't hear it clearly enough. First movie, Jason's mom is wearing nothing. Yeah. Second movie, Jason's wearing a bag over his head. Third movie bag until hockey mask. Then we go into. He's seemingly killed by an axe to the head in part three. Then the final chapter starts with Jason killing everyone in the morgue that he's taken to. Then he returns.
Shirley
Wait a minute.
Jason Mantzoukas
Killing everyone in the morgue is.
Shirley
Sounds like a bit redundant.
Jason Mantzoukas
We both really, you know.
June Diane Raphael
And then he would have to open the drawer.
Shirley
Step, step, step, step, step.
June Diane Raphael
It's to build up his self confidence. He was, to Jason's point. He did get an axe in his head, so he thought those people were alive. Then he returns to camp Crystal Lake, kills everyone. And then a character named Tommy, who's at the cabin near the camp, kills Jason. Then a new beginning starts with Jason with Tommy being committed to a mental institution while Copycat takes on Jason, Jason's likeness. Then Jason lives.
Shirley
Wait, Tommy becomes Jason?
June Diane Raphael
Yes. Then Tommy visits Jason's grave and accidentally resurrects him.
Shirley
Wait a minute. Accidentally resurrects him?
Rob Huebel
I think there was like a lightning bolt.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, lightning strikes the grave.
Rob Huebel
I was such a little boy.
Shirley
And then Tommy thinking about you as well.
Rob Huebel
By the way, lightning and electricity can reanimate anyone.
Shirley
Always, always, always.
June Diane Raphael
And then it gets crazy. Then he's like chained, put to the bottom of the lake. Then Part seven, Jason's telekinetically resurrected by Tina, who is trying to bring back her father.
Rob Huebel
I want to see her.
June Diane Raphael
And then Tina returns Jason to the bottom of the lake. And then Part eight, Jason goes to Manhattan.
Shirley
Where he works for Meryl Streep and is dating Adrian Grenier. Not a lot of people know that Jason Voorhees was originally cast in the Devil Wears Prada. And they shot 30% of the movie with him and were like, it's not working.
June Diane Raphael
Didn't work. Then he's melted by toxic waste. And then. And Jason goes to hell. The Final Friday, Jason is resurrected, but we don't know why the FBI is hunting him and then kills him. He survives by possessing different beings until his niece stabs him with a magic dagger and sends him to hell. So that's.
Rob Huebel
Wait, isn't there a Jason Freddy movie?
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, but that's not Ken canon. That is a side.
Shirley
That's like a one off.
June Diane Raphael
That's like the New Hope. That's like a side movie going, all right, you know, not New Hope. I mean, Rogue One. Sorry.
Shirley
Oh, oh, oh, sorry. Well, Rogue One is still canon.
June Diane Raphael
Just a side move. He's not part of the trilogy.
Shirley
Can I ask a question?
June Diane Raphael
Yeah.
Shirley
And we might not have answers, but one of these dildos might. When and why is he obsessed with. With his machete? And also, where did it come from in this movie? He's all chained up.
Rob Huebel
His old one that he sees on the.
Shirley
Yeah, he's all chained up in the prison. And then when he's free, he's like, got my machete.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, he said when he's frozen. When they unfreeze.
Shirley
Before they freeze him, though. Before they freeze him. He's all chained up in the opening scene.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right, right.
Shirley
Also, is the opening credits take place in hell?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, that's in place inside.
Rob Huebel
It's inside the body.
Shirley
Ah, okay. Okay. I wasn't paying good enough attention.
Rob Huebel
That was like inner space. Have you seen the movie Inner Space?
Shirley
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
And not to bring up that I obviously watched this with a very cool friend, but that's what my friend said.
June Diane Raphael
Oh, really?
Shirley
Yeah.
Rob Huebel
Am I your cool friend?
Jason Mantzoukas
No, I watched it with another cool friend.
Rob Huebel
You're cool.
Shirley
I don't watch it with anybody, so I didn't have any.
Rob Huebel
Can I tell you how I watched this, Paul? Very briefly, we're sleep training our baby right now, which don't have babies. And so basically what that means is you just let your baby cry and, you know, you don't go in there and then they figure out like, oh, I'M gonna be okay. So I was, I was.
Shirley
Before they realize you don't love them.
Rob Huebel
So I was watching the. I was watching the movie with one headphone in right by her. Her room and watching the baby monitor like this. And it was fucking. The baby monitor was what was scaring me. Cause you know, it's just like a little tiny person, like.
June Diane Raphael
I will Jason thing.
Rob Huebel
I'm like, that's dumb. Okay.
Shirley
By the way, you need to score your baby monitor to let the bodies hit the floor.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, no.
Shirley
Hey, babe, come here. Look at this. Let the bodies hit the floor. Just your adorable child.
June Diane Raphael
I. I watched this movie on an airplane. Cause I needed to cram it in before I got back here.
Shirley
Ooh, never say the phrase cram it in again.
June Diane Raphael
And I was sitting next.
Shirley
I want them soft. I'd appreciate it.
June Diane Raphael
Like em soft.
Shirley
Ooh, cram it in while it's soft.
June Diane Raphael
I was sitting next to a child and the.
Rob Huebel
My child.
Paul Scheer
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
Who was doing fine.
Shirley
Who is fast asleep.
Rob Huebel
You're sleep training my baby on a plane.
June Diane Raphael
And you know that's like, that's how you're supposed to do it. By the way, they don't tell you that in the books. You take your baby, you gotta plane train those babies. Plane train them.
Shirley
Plane train an automobile.
June Diane Raphael
So I'm watching this movie on an airplane next to a child. I feel like the first thing, the kid like looks over at my iPad and sees like somebody's head get like sliced off. Ooh. And I kind of like cover up my iPad. And then I'm watching it further. And then there's that scene with like the two girl campers. And it's the only time that like real nudity is in the movie.
Paul Scheer
I'm like, ah.
June Diane Raphael
And then I turn it like this.
Shirley
There's real nudity earlier in the movie.
June Diane Raphael
Very little.
Shirley
With the robot's nipples.
Jason Mantzoukas
They fall off.
June Diane Raphael
It was so clinical.
Jason Mantzoukas
The nipples fall right off.
Shirley
We'll get there. Okay. Okay. Sorry.
Rob Huebel
I have a 30 minute moment.
Shirley
I'll talk about that.
June Diane Raphael
So I got nervous and the nudity came on with the kid that I turned my ipod, my iPad out to the aisle, which meant that I was flashing, which meant that you basically like.
Shirley
Anybody wanna get a look at this? Check it out.
June Diane Raphael
It was so I was like, I was really mortified. And then I was like, now I'm like this fucking creepo who's like watching a Jason movie on my iPad. Like, everyone's watching Baby Driver and Spider Man. I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Shirley
Like you're watching, like, legit trash.
June Diane Raphael
Like. And I bought. I clearly bought it. It's not even on the seat back entertainment. It's like, I gotta watch this shit either.
Shirley
I don't want to watch what. I don't want to watch what you've got. I've got my own. What I think is better. The message you're sending is my watching is more important than what you have on offer.
June Diane Raphael
And it's this. I tried to make my note taking really, like, apparent because I just didn't want. I wanted to be like, well, clearly you're doing it for some sort of reason.
Shirley
So you've got, like, what? Like, I'm a writer, a quill and a bottle of ink. Taking notes. Taking notes. Well, just me taking notes.
June Diane Raphael
I have a.
Rob Huebel
Just to back up a question about this opening scene, and then we should probably move on.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, sure.
Rob Huebel
Why am I driving the podcast?
Shirley
You know what? This is a hostile thing.
Rob Huebel
But isn't this the scene where they go in and Jason's chained up, and then they come back and, you know, and the guy puts the coat over his face? Isn't that just stolen from Silence of the Lambs? That is the scene from Silence of the Lambs.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. No, I feel like this guy, this writer didn't have any issue with that. He said the movie is based so much on Alien that he named one of the characters after Tom Skerritt's character in the Alien film.
Rob Huebel
Like, he named every single character, like, the cowboy hat. Fucking coke.
Shirley
Like, everybody. It is. It really is just man Scarrett. I mean, like, the guy's a legend. I was gonna talk about Alien more, and then I was just like, like, we need more Tom Scarry in the world. Just saying mustache. Oh, I'll sit in this. I don't care.
June Diane Raphael
All right, so here we are.
Shirley
We're at Kapalpa. Scary. All right, let's go.
June Diane Raphael
So here we are at Camp Crystal Lake research facility, a place that's seemingly uninhabited, with no lights and very damp. There was, like, literally water on the floor. They have this test subject. He's a serial killer. They want to hold. They yet let him keep his hockey mask on, which seems like they would. I think that you'd want to see what was under the hockey mask or you wouldn't have to let him.
Rob Huebel
There's a weird line where they. Where they're first assessing him, where they say that hockey has been outlawed.
June Diane Raphael
Well, that's in the future.
Jason Mantzoukas
In 2024. Was when they. When they outlawed.
Rob Huebel
But they don't tell us why hockey has been outlawed.
June Diane Raphael
Football's still going on on Earth 2. In this movie, Hockey.
Shirley
The guy realizes it's a hockey mask. And I was like, obviously they're in the future, but they're like 450 years in the future.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Shirley
Like, I don't think a hockey mask would be that recognizable.
Jason Mantzoukas
No.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. If it's been outlawed for that long.
Rob Huebel
But also their technology, there's. They're, you know, they're using like, you know, FaceTime.
Shirley
Oh, they are also wearing half shirts.
Jason Mantzoukas
They're wearing. They're all in chenille sweaters.
Shirley
Everybody's wearing half shirts.
Jason Mantzoukas
Why are they wearing that in a lab? Like, she's like giving him an operation in. Why are they. Those two dorks are so horny. And then they just go, and why.
Rob Huebel
Don'T you guys come back when you're more focused?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
Rob Huebel
And they're like, okay, we will.
Shirley
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
Whoa.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's crazy science.
Shirley
Transplanting all of the horniness of summer camp onto a spaceship, which is so weird.
June Diane Raphael
A spaceship out of a CW show. And I mean that in. No offense to cw. It's so.
Shirley
You know what, though? So offense to cw.
Rob Huebel
Yeah. It's just really bad graphics.
Shirley
CW on blast.
Rob Huebel
There's some awesome. There's some digital blood in this that is also really bad when the guy gets his arm cut off. Like there's some. I like, had to go back and go, just try, like, try to make the blood spurt.
Jason Mantzoukas
The first arm that gets cut off of like the dork. By the way, why would he be allowed on that science expedition? He's like a dumbass. He's like the stupidest. Why would they have brought him? And he means that you can't have that kind of hair if you work in a lab. You can't have your hair out.
Shirley
I know you think it's Moose from Step up, but it's not who.
Paul Scheer
Who.
June Diane Raphael
So basically. But we won't even know, like, so, you know, Jason is accidentally frozen. This space crew comes like salvaging Earth one. But we don't even know what this crew is. They don't seem like they have any job like in Alien. They're like, oh, they're like space truckers, essentially. Like, you know, on, you know, Serenity. They're like pirates. You know, they're kind of doing clandestine stuff here. It just looks like a bunch of young, good looking people who are kind of all equal scientists.
Shirley
It's like a school. It's like a mobile school.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, I think.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, yeah. Right. There is a school element because the guy's a professor.
Jason Mantzoukas
Because the. And he loves his nipples to be yanked.
June Diane Raphael
Whoa.
Rob Huebel
Even 450 years from now, he's still.
Shirley
450 years from now. He's wearing current day, like negligees.
Rob Huebel
What was the line that the girl says about her midterm that you.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, no, right. When she's like, do it, do it. And then he goes, you pass. Just like such a funny thing to say at orgasm.
Shirley
By the way, some of you guys, you made a guess in this argument. Two of you are gonna have sex tonight. Scream. You pass.
Jason Mantzoukas
You pass.
Shirley
Or if you're listening to this on the podcast with your lover, scream. You pass.
June Diane Raphael
You pass. Let's just hear it in real time here. Good, Right there. Come on, come on. You pass.
Shirley
Now that device is too big.
June Diane Raphael
I thought when she first brought it in it was gynecological equipment.
Shirley
That's what I thought.
June Diane Raphael
I don't like this already. And then I didn't like this more than the thought of the thing that I didn't like.
Shirley
What do you think my question is? Is this the tool's intended use or is this a.
Jason Mantzoukas
Maybe she just grabs it. She's like, oh, I'm about to see professor, and just grabbed it on her way from the lab.
Shirley
Oh, I'm gonna grab it.
Jason Mantzoukas
She was really thinking about the, like.
Shirley
Something that is like, like hedge trimming shears in size.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh.
June Diane Raphael
The other.
Rob Huebel
Is she having sex? She has her underwear.
Jason Mantzoukas
That's the other thing that I was just about to say and then I, I just stopped myself because I was like, I don't know if I can live through what I'm about to say.
Rob Huebel
You go, rob, well, when I have.
Shirley
Sex, When I have sex, if you die, we will have lightning strike you to reanimate you.
June Diane Raphael
And then apparently this man climaxing is what awakes Jason. Like, wait, really? Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
He doesn't like horniness.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, he doesn't. That's the one thing that we know.
Jason Mantzoukas
He doesn't.
Rob Huebel
He hates fucking teens. He doesn't hate fucking. He hates teens. That. Fuck yeah.
June Diane Raphael
But he hates fucking teens, right? He hates fucking teens.
Rob Huebel
He fucking hates fucking teens. And he can smell jizz. He can smell jizz.
June Diane Raphael
But he immediately kills the person who was bringing him back to life, who seemed to be the only one that was doing her job.
Rob Huebel
Yeah, by the way, that was really violent.
June Diane Raphael
Like her entire body was sucked out of a 4 inch hole vent.
Jason Mantzoukas
By the way, before she got sucked, she said, this sucks.
June Diane Raphael
So many legs.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, it gets sucked on so many.
Rob Huebel
Levels, by the way. Not to pull the rug out from under us, but at the beginning of the movie, they set up that they can reanimate arms and everything. Who cares? If anyone gets killed, we'll bring them back, right? It doesn't matter if any of us get killed. Like, why is. Why are. Why would we possibly be upset? It's like, okay, except for the girl that got sucked through the vent.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
But here's my other issue with this whole movie. Ultimately, you bring the serial killer on. I get it. That's has to be the conceit of the movie, right? You gotta get this guy on. But it's a confined space where all you need to do is sound an alarm, say, hey, everybody, stay in your bunks. There is no seemingly zero communication between anyone at any given point. There's no intercom.
Shirley
There's so many ways this could have been avoided. I mean, this movie, you could have not asked me to watch. The link I had could have been broken. There's so many ways I could have avoided watching this. No, they are constantly. That's where I was like, I had to readjust and be like, oh, no, these movies are this. These movies are. It's all about the kills. It's all about people making dumb decisions and going to the basement when they shouldn't. Or like, when the dude is like, on the run and he's like, wait a minute, quick, we gotta get to the shuttle. But should I fuck my robot that I just made?
Jason Mantzoukas
That's the craziest.
Shirley
Like, yeah, I think I fucking should.

Rob Huebel
How did they do the nipple effect? So that actress, they covered up her real nipples.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes.
Rob Huebel
And then put fake plastic nipples on there. So much so that when they fell off, I was like, oh my God.
June Diane Raphael
Her. Her nipples fall off like a. Like your refrigerator lost magnetism.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yes. Total sub zero time.
Shirley
I assumed it was like a computer. It was like a computer effect. You think it's practical?
June Diane Raphael
They feel like they're cgi.
Shirley
I think it's a computer.
June Diane Raphael
Here we go. Let's. But listen to the sound they make.
Rob Huebel
Why is money on that?
June Diane Raphael
The. The sound that they make is what really makes it disturbing. You think?
Rob Huebel
Do you like them?
Audience Member
They're fine.
Shirley
It sounds like 2 second jawea silver.
Rob Huebel
Dollars hitting the ground.
June Diane Raphael
So if he did put on steel nipples, what is she getting out of that either?
Shirley
Like that was also. Who manufactured those in space. She was like, I want you to make me some nipples. And he was like, I'm busy.
June Diane Raphael
Really?
Shirley
I've got a lot to say about this movie. Why is. When Jason is still dead. Not dead, but like. Yeah, dead. When they are. When blondie who gets smashed, when she is kind of doing stuff, she's, you know, carves his mask off of his face, blah, blah, blah. Why is the goop that leaks out of his head green?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, why is it again.
Shirley
And I wrote it again.
June Diane Raphael
What is Jason.
Rob Huebel
Also.
June Diane Raphael
Why did she need to. Why did she need to like clearly cut off the mask but then seemingly the mask stayed. Like she just kind of smushes it back on.
Jason Mantzoukas
She puts it on in like a non medical way. Like that's not the way a dark doctor would. Like put your thing back. Just like putting. Just like, just putting a sticker.
Rob Huebel
She takes his eyeball out and just looks at it and then like freezes it.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah.
Rob Huebel
Puts it in a. Yeah. Also sheer with that. I forgot this character's name. What's her name in real life? Is that Alexa?
Shirley
Doig. Doig.
June Diane Raphael
What is it?
Shirley
D O I G. Doig. I'm assuming like no Doig.
Rob Huebel
And so her.
Shirley
Does anybody know what it is?
Audience Member
I have.
Rob Huebel
Her first line when she wakes up. This movie was made in 2001. She wakes up in 2455. The first words out of her mouth are, did you get him? That's the first, like her first order of business. Ooh, it was cold when I was frozen.
Audience Member
Or.
Rob Huebel
Well, first she clocks that guy. Yeah, she clocks that guy first of all. Which is hilarious, by the way.
June Diane Raphael
Jason's machete when what we under. What we should believe goes through like metal, like cryogenic chamber, like, like a hot knife through butter, like to kind of get her killed too. But like, that machete, someone should look into that. That machete seems like it has some powers.
Shirley
He's obsessed with this machete. Like, I would argue, like, like the machete is like his true love.
June Diane Raphael
It's almost as if this movie was written by someone who never saw any of the j.
Rob Huebel
But this professor guy or this teacher guy, his whole motivation is it's like a weird. Like he just wants people to pay to see her. Remember, he says, like, he says, like, oh, people will pay money to see her. She was for. And then she goes away and then it's like.
Shirley
Or whatever.
Rob Huebel
And then. So then he's like people paying money to see Jason. Like, he's like some carnival animal or something.
June Diane Raphael
Which, you know, that's not gonna work out well at all. And just kill everybody. Yeah, it's. It's a. It's a weird. It's a weird movie because they're just running.
Paul Scheer
They're not.
June Diane Raphael
No, there's no, there's no deliberate, like, there's no reasoning with Jason. There's no reason why he has any grudges with any of these people. They have yet not. They have not just done anything bad to him, but bring him back to life and. Well, that's.
Shirley
It's interesting. He's like a Frankenstein type figure.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah.
Shirley
But there is no, like, there is no understanding. It really is.
Rob Huebel
We're looking at it the wrong way. I think the way you're supposed to look at it is he is the hero. We love him. We're rooting for him, Right? Yeah. Okay, for real, like, we're rooting for him and we're to kill all the dumb dumbs. To kill all the dum dums while we beat off. Although this movie is very hard to beat off too.
June Diane Raphael
You can find your moments.
Rob Huebel
What do you mean you could find.
June Diane Raphael
Look, I was on a plane, so it was a little bit more challenging.
Rob Huebel
Can I tell. Can I tell our bummer story about. Okay, the guy, the actor that plays Jason in real life is named Kane Hodder. And I'm scanning the audio as if.
June Diane Raphael
I know what he looks like.
Rob Huebel
So hopefully he's not here. But one time, Shir and I were at something in New York. It was like a Comic Con type, but not Comic Con.
June Diane Raphael
It was a very low level horror convention. In New Jersey.
Rob Huebel
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
Like in a hotel.
Shirley
Wait, are you sure it was a horror convention? Or were you just in New Jersey? Nailed it. That's right. New Jersey. Kaboom. Not that fear.
Rob Huebel
So it was one of those things where you go and there are people, you know, there are the signing booths and so Kane Hodder, Jason from the movie, is there, you know, and you pay 20 bucks to get his autograph or whatever. So it was very close to Halloween. Like it is not when this podcast comes out. And so the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life was a.
Shirley
Probably keep in mind, you have a child.
Rob Huebel
Yes.
Shirley
The cutest thing you've ever seen in your life, though, is this.
June Diane Raphael
This is cuter than.
Rob Huebel
This is cuter. My child is a crybaby. No, this. So there was a mom there with like a three year old boy in fucking full on Jason garb, tiny little overalls, tiny little hockey mask, like three years old. Like, you know, Barrett, like doing this and his mom is there, sees Kane Hodder there, like, you know, he's got a big poster or whatever, and she's like, go on, go on, go on up there. And so the little boy is just like, goes up there and he gets up to Kane Hodder, the person in real life, and Kane Hodder goes 20 bucks. 20 bucks to the little kid. So I couldn't help but remember that as I was watching this movie, that, like, oh, that guy. What a surprise. That Jason is a bad dude in real life. Edit out that pause, Paul. Take out this pause. Take out this pause.
Shirley
No, you know, let's just sit in this.
Rob Huebel
Take it out.
Shirley
Take out this pause.
June Diane Raphael
So Jason is on this ship that has an anchor in it. The spaceship has an anchor and.
Shirley
Yeah. Cause you have to anchor your space all the time, otherwise it'll float away into space.
June Diane Raphael
And so many rooms full of.
Shirley
That's why all the space things you see, you hear them say, drop anchor. Star wars, drop anchor. Star Trek, Mr. Sulu, drop anchor.
June Diane Raphael
They just need to get him in rooms with chains and like giant, like they just put like, yeah, put an anchor. We'll put some in on an anchor. And. And like that. I'll give into that. But what I don't like is the abuse of VR. In this movie, these two kids are playing VR and Jason murders the VR orc. And it like exists in the game.
Shirley
Jason is able to without his own set, without anything.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that doesn't make sense to the game.
Shirley
They're in part two, participate, and then when they take the masks off, he's just standing there and the video game disappears and he's like, what's going on?
June Diane Raphael
And to me, why not just make the smarter choice of not making the people in the future wear any sort of VR masks.
Shirley
Yes.
June Diane Raphael
Like, make it like a holiday.
Shirley
Everybody is in a thing.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. No, but they have the two guys like sitting down on like two carpets.
Jason Mantzoukas
Like, and why are they sitting on the floor like that? Like, where is that? The game room? Or do they just sit down? Like, like how people 400 years ago watched television?
Rob Huebel
Yeah.
Paul Scheer
I was more.
Rob Huebel
I was more psyched about those monsters. It, like, it was such a misdirect. I was like, oh, cool, now we're going to see some cool monsters. And then it was like, oh, this is a VR sim or whatever. I don't know. Technology.
Shirley
You know what? Further, here's your hypothesis that Jason is the hero is that every human being in this movie is a fucking asshole.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. The only nice one is the woman who puts his mask back on. She's like, poor thing or something like that. He really ruins her head.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Rob Huebel
What she got.
Shirley
These fucking dummies single handedly destroy Solaris.
Jason Mantzoukas
Without a care in the world. Oh my God, they ruined that.
Rob Huebel
No repercussions.
Shirley
How many? Hundreds or thousands?
Jason Mantzoukas
Thousands of people they killed on that thing.
Shirley
Just smash.
Jason Mantzoukas
They drove through it and it exploded.
Shirley
And then it explodes and they're like.
Rob Huebel
Oh my God, back it up.
Shirley
They are awful people. And that's. And I guess that was maybe for me, the thing that was giving me a little bit of tension. I was like, well, these people are terrible, but Jason is the protagonist.
Rob Huebel
Yeah.
Shirley
I think what I'm not used to. Well, that's a. I mean, I'm the protagonist in my life, I feel like. So I understand where Jason could be the protagonist.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right. You just, you feel like it's just about Jason. Yeah, most things are. Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
Manzuk X.
Rob Huebel
One of my main beefs is the poor commitment to jolts on the spaceship.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Rob Huebel
You know. Cause like, everyone's going in a different direction. Like Solaris blows up. One guy goes that way. Someone goes like this.
June Diane Raphael
Someone else goes like, whoa.
Shirley
You know, it's like Star Trek level.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Shirley
Like original series Star Trek level. Like, oh, yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
But the robot woman is actually good at the jolts. She's got a lot of jokes that.
June Diane Raphael
She'S like, Lisa Ryder is her name.
Shirley
Lisa Ryder is. Is far and away crushing it in this movie.
June Diane Raphael
Just interesting. You know, Obviously one of the big reveals of this movie is when the robot, like becomes full on Terminator. She gets an upgrade and like, upload, upload Sorry.
Rob Huebel
So does that mean he just, like.
Jason Mantzoukas
He just, like, spoinked it up there.
Shirley
Like, trying to escape?
Jason Mantzoukas
You're better now.
Paul Scheer
They went.
Shirley
Escaped to the pod. And he's like, wait a minute. And they have, like a. A moment that is romantically charged. But I don't think she understands romance.
Jason Mantzoukas
No, I think she does. She loves him. That's why she wants her nipples.
Shirley
Is that it?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Cause she wants to be like Janessa.
Shirley
Also, you memorize a character 450 years from now named Janessa, who has a fourth of a blouse, which I have a lot of choice.
Jason Mantzoukas
Whoa. Really?
Shirley
Janessa?
June Diane Raphael
Yeah.
Jason Mantzoukas
The guy writing it was like, what's the name of a sexy girl who I can. Who will like me? Basically, like, he just, like, you know, he falls in love with her while he's writing it. He just loves Janessa.
Rob Huebel
Janessa and Todd Farmer walk down the street.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. He's like, shoot, I gotta change it.
Shirley
You know that, like, someone from Todd Farmer's past is like, is this about me? And he's like, no, Vanessa, why would you.
Jason Mantzoukas
Janessa's shirt is, like, the most insane garment I've ever seen in my life.
Shirley
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
And one. And it's like. It's crazy. It's just like, two strips down her titties like that, and then. And then with, like, weird bolts. Right? Yeah, and then. And also, my pants just are completely broken. I can't stand up like that.
Rob Huebel
By the way, they say that in the movie. They say. She says, don't wreck my pants.
Jason Mantzoukas
Don't wreck my pants.
Shirley
That was a great box.
Rob Huebel
That should have been on the box.
Jason Mantzoukas
But there is a part where, like, they're doing something that's, like, tough. And she, like. She, like, makes sure that her shirt's on as if it was ever really on to begin with.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. She should have been wearing something everyone in that spaceship should be wearing more.
Rob Huebel
More.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, that, like, it's weird to say for a horror movie, put on more clothes.
Paul Scheer
People.
Jason Mantzoukas
Except for during the sex scene, when they should be wearing glass.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, even.
Paul Scheer
Even the.
Shirley
Even the military people are, like, pornographically dressed.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. I will say, this is interesting. So when Jason is killed, he's reformed now, if you listen to the podcast, you know, we did a movie called Virtuosity, and the way that Jason came back was an idea stolen from Virtuosity.
Rob Huebel
Wow.
Shirley
Literally.
June Diane Raphael
Yes. Truly. This is on the commentary trip. The writer Todd Farmer lifted this idea of nanotechnology from Virtuosity. He said he thought it would be cool.
Shirley
Cause it Worked in that movie.
June Diane Raphael
Worked.
Shirley
Virtuosity.
June Diane Raphael
But it's also.
Rob Huebel
It's not just nanotechnology. It's just ants. Like, at one point, they cut to, like, an extreme close up, and it's just fucking bugs.
June Diane Raphael
It's like.
Paul Scheer
It looks like.
Shirley
I think they're ropes.
June Diane Raphael
Robot bugs.
Shirley
Yeah, robot bugs.
Rob Huebel
Well, yeah, of course. But still. You got a bug problem. It's a bug problem.
Audience Member
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
Just to give you an idea of other. Other ideas that Jason could have been in and that instead of space, these are the ideas they passed on. All right, so Jason in the hood. Jason leprechaun. Was that right? Jason in the snow. Jason underwater. Yeah. Jason in the Arctic. Jason.
Rob Huebel
Totally different, bro.
Paul Scheer
Totally different.
Rob Huebel
You've never been to the Arctic.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. One could be, like. One could be, like, the thing, and one could be, like, snow day. The other one, Jason in LA fighting gangs. The other one, Jason on safari. And they even considered something involving the NASCAR circuit. Wow. Yeah. That.
Rob Huebel
The shir. Did you have any thoughts on the sim at the end? The Crystal Lake throwback, where that's where.
June Diane Raphael
I was showing nudity to people on my airplane? Yeah. That's an odd sequence because that's, like, one of those rare moments, too, where, like, I felt bad because it felt, like, gratuitous. Like, you. Like, there's no. Like, how could you get anyone to even do it? It's like, hey, so this is not integral to the part, the plot.
Rob Huebel
This is something like, you know, what are our lines? Well, you're gonna yell, we love premarital sex.
Shirley
And then we get into sleeping bags and are beaten to death with each other's body, using the sleeping bag as a weapon. So they cut back to Jason Voorhees, and he's holding a sleeping bag bag with a girl in it, and he's.
June Diane Raphael
Clobbering the other girl.
Shirley
The other girl. But I will. Sleeping bag with that girl.
June Diane Raphael
I will say Full Metal Jacket. I will say that there's a lot of, like, weird production design in it, but I did feel like the sleeping bags were not full enough. Like, they felt. Yeah, they didn't. They didn't feel like the audio.
Shirley
Wait a minute. The audio. Check. We're like, ow, ow, ow.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. I couldn't understand what the audio was. I was like, are they. They. Is the sim glitching? Are they laughing still? Cause they're, like, looking up at the camera and doing that also.
Shirley
How is the sim prepared for that scenario? Yeah, like what? I don't know that. It's. That. That's within the. I don't know.
Rob Huebel
He was using the boyfriend of KM Was using her severed head.
Shirley
Yes.
Rob Huebel
And somehow jacked that in to the suit thing.
Shirley
Right.
Rob Huebel
And she was downloading that program. Am I wrong?
Jason Mantzoukas
Can I also say I love K, but I also like the scientist. I liked her boyfriend. I like that guy.
June Diane Raphael
You like that guy?
Shirley
He was your favorite.
Jason Mantzoukas
He was the most relatable character.
Shirley
Let's go. Let's all go around and say who our favorite dummy was. Mine was the robot. Yeah. I loved her non magnetic nipples. I loved when she became like Lara Crawford Tomb Raider at the end.
June Diane Raphael
I, I, I would go with my favorite was. And I think this is him. Boyd Banks, who played Fat Lou, who was the guy who was like, you, eck, my stuff.
Shirley
I'm Fat Lou.
Jason Mantzoukas
You act my stuff.
Rob Huebel
No one ever says my name. But you know who I am.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, Fat Lou.
Shirley
Kids and their dumb field trips. I bet I'm going to catch for this. And then he gets chopped into like a gajillion pieces. Then the other guy comes up and is like, oh, this is a nightmare. But I've seen worse.
Paul Scheer
What?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, that's never, they never explore that at all.
Rob Huebel
Are you gonna explain what Stop the movie?
June Diane Raphael
No, no.
Shirley
He's seen where it's in like. Then he refers to some war that they fought.
Rob Huebel
Oh, the Microsoft people.
Shirley
Where people were fighting each other with their own limbs.
June Diane Raphael
Microsoft over old Zunes.
Audience Member
By the way.
Rob Huebel
Also, one of my favorite lines is.
June Diane Raphael
It'S going to take more than a poke in the ribs to put this, Put down this old dog. Flink. That ought to do it.
Shirley
That was a great line.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. And I feel like that's where that movie was weird because it's like they were going for jokes and I like that joke a lot. But then they would also, like, they would treat some things like, like that, I think work. But then there's another move moment where.
Rob Huebel
Like, what's his condition? He's screwed.
June Diane Raphael
Yes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, yeah. Why do they have that big screw in there?
June Diane Raphael
That was her friend. He's screwed.
Jason Mantzoukas
And why were they never shocked when people were dead? They're not in a war. They're scientists. They should be like, if they see one dead person that isn't like, part of their lab, which they don't keep clean, they should be like, the only.
June Diane Raphael
Time they did that and be like, hey, hey, everyone.
Rob Huebel
The only time they did that is when they ran out, like, one door opens and there's like a security guard dead. And then they go like. I was like, you don't even fucking know that guy.
Shirley
Also, also, the guy who she says he's screwed. Dude, it's a visual joke or it's a visual line for her. The person on the other end should be like, what do you mean?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Wait, so what are you talking about? Is he late?
Shirley
Is he lost? He's like, what do you mean he's screwed. Well, why are you saying it like that?
June Diane Raphael
Oh, because there's a giant screw in this room and he's actually rotating around.
Shirley
He has been impaled on an adjustment. Giant screw. Okay, got it.
June Diane Raphael
Okay, that's good.
Shirley
Really? That was good.
June Diane Raphael
Let's go to the audience. Audience, do you have any questions? Things that we haven't talked about? I know we haven't talked about a lot, but anything at all.
Shirley
The scene where they. Where he is. Doesn't matter.
June Diane Raphael
Sir, your name, Your question?
Audience Member
My name is Matt. I'm just wondering if we can go over the fact that they say they executed him three times. Times. They went from electricity to firing squad to hanging, and then they just jumped to cryogenically freezing.
June Diane Raphael
Well, I think that that actually makes sense. You know, I feel like at a certain point you're like, well, we can't kill him, so let's.
Rob Huebel
Let's freeze him. Yeah, let's put him on hold. I think they also said scientifically that checks out.
Shirley
No, it doesn't check out.
Rob Huebel
Yes, it does.
Shirley
Like, here's the thing. If you want that guy gone, chop him into a million pieces.
Rob Huebel
They did that. They blew off his leg. They blew off his.
Shirley
That's in this movie.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, but. Yeah, but if the nanotechnology wouldn't have come back, he would. I mean, again, they knew that he regenerated, so why would they leave him in that room alone?
Jason Mantzoukas
Why do they leave him on the, like, regeneration flies.
Shirley
Why does he regenerate? Question mark?
Jason Mantzoukas
Because the bugs.
June Diane Raphael
But they can regenerate all of their friends.
Rob Huebel
It doesn't matter.
June Diane Raphael
Sir, your name. Your question?
Audience Member
My name is Devin.
Rob Huebel
So why do we need their names?
Audience Member
Paul.
Jason Mantzoukas
I like it. I like it, I like it, I like it.
Rob Huebel
Justin, he's using a fake name.
June Diane Raphael
The people at home.
Shirley
You're telling me that guy.
Jason Mantzoukas
That guy's name's Devin? Yeah, his name's Devin.
June Diane Raphael
Nope.
Shirley
I don't buy it for a fucking minute. No way.
Audience Member
Paul.
Shirley
Paul.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah.
Shirley
Get his license.
June Diane Raphael
Sierra, let's check out your license. All right, Devin, if that's your name. Your question.
Shirley
So early.
Audience Member
When the lady that travels through, or it's frozen and going through time.
Rob Huebel
Do she?
Shirley
Yeah. When she's getting thawed, the robot says this line that I think is just.
Audience Member
Either miswritten or something she's saying.
Shirley
I think she's supposed to be saying.
Audience Member
Cellular, but she says celery.
June Diane Raphael
Wow.
Rob Huebel
First of all, good.
June Diane Raphael
Good catch, Paul. Paul.
Rob Huebel
That's not a question.
Shirley
It's not a question.
June Diane Raphael
It could be observations. We're taking observations and questions. Observ.
Shirley
And you're telling me she says celery.
Rob Huebel
No. Now I got to watch the whole movie again.
June Diane Raphael
She's going through celery regeneration.
Jason Mantzoukas
Celery regeneration.
Rob Huebel
There. I will say, to Devin's point.
Shirley
I thought, news.
Rob Huebel
Am I fake?
Shirley
News noons.
Rob Huebel
It did seem like there were more than a couple flub lines that they didn't even try again.
Jason Mantzoukas
It seemed like there was a moment when Ms. Doig forgot her line and, like, ran into a room and was like, I.
June Diane Raphael
We.
Jason Mantzoukas
We have to get to, like. And I was like, okay, I know what that is. Cause I've done that myself. You don't know what you're saying.
June Diane Raphael
We got it. Let's move on.
Jason Mantzoukas
We know what's going on.
Shirley
We're gonna check the gate.
June Diane Raphael
Your fake name and your question.
Audience Member
Oh, well, my real name's Karine, and that sounds fake enough, so let's just go with that. So when the guard, or when that Marine or whatever she is, finds her red impaled and she's like, oh, he's been screwed. He hasn't even been screwed. It's a drill. Like, it's not even a screw. So my question is, what do you guys think about that?
Jason Mantzoukas
What about this? What about this? He's dead. This is not a drill. Oh, wait, it is. Fuck it.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. You got a little bit of a standing ovation.
Jason Mantzoukas
Thank you. Give us a scenario.
Shirley
We'll give you the clever word play.
June Diane Raphael
All right, all right. Your name, your question.
Shirley
My name is Scott and Grayton.
June Diane Raphael
Undercover.
Shirley
Shirt name Undercover. This is for you. So when the professor is with the space Marine, he's like, do you have all your kids? He says, yes, I've got them all. They immediately cut to the Bobo holodeck, where they've got these idiots playing games.
June Diane Raphael
That's Todd Farmer.
Shirley
The bald idiot that gets cut in the half is Todd Farmer. Really?
June Diane Raphael
Oh, Todd Farmer. Also the writer director of Drive Angry, the Nicholas Cage movie that we did in this podcast and was also killed in that as well.
Rob Huebel
Paul, we have not even touched on the last, like, minute of the movie where Jason comes.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah, no, sorry, sorry.
Rob Huebel
Yeah, where Jason comes at us. And then Brodsky comes in and tackles him. And then like Iron man flies him back through the atmosphere, burning him up. And they become a shooting star. And then two horny teenagers go, oh, a shooting star. Mako, are we not gonna talk about, like.
June Diane Raphael
By the way, I would argue the best part of the entire movie is what you just said.
Rob Huebel
I think Todd Farmer started with that. Am I wrong? Friend of Todd Farmer.
June Diane Raphael
All right, your name and your.
Audience Member
My name is Rachel. And I know that, like the bad guy sneaking up on the unsuspecting people is kind of like the thing with this movie. But the rules about how he moves around this set are bonkers. He like, teleports from one room to another. And the one that drove me the most crazy is that girl is when he's coming back to life because all the people are having sex. He moves his leg, she turns around.
Shirley
Nothing.
Audience Member
He shifts his hand. He just kind of clenches it. Nothing. He sits up, gets up off the table.
June Diane Raphael
Nothing.
Audience Member
She doesn't.
Rob Huebel
She doesn't.
Audience Member
She's like. No, I don't hear that bit.
Shirley
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Rob Huebel
There's a weird angle there where like they're kind of like showing her spine. Like, you know, she's in that like cut off shirt and there, and it's like he's twitching and it's just like showing that like she's a vulnerable human or something. Like, it's really. I was upset by that. I'm on sleep training my baby.
Audience Member
So.
June Diane Raphael
By the way, I was thinking, we get it.
Shirley
You've got friends and you have unprotected sex. We get it.
Rob Huebel
Once, one time.
June Diane Raphael
Gross. I mean, this is also, I will say to your point, a person who at that point in the movie is wearing chains. So when he would move, you're hearing the rattling. You're always gonna hear the rattling.
Shirley
You would also think when it. He sat up, his hockey mask would fall to the ground.
Rob Huebel
And there's a, there's a. Sorry, go ahead.
Audience Member
I mean, there's another point where, like, he's supposed to be in another room. Oh, it's in the beginning. The guy falls through the door and he's dying. And she's like, oh, what happened? What happened? He's in the room. He threw him through the door. She turns around, he's in the hallway.
June Diane Raphael
How did he get there?
Shirley
Did he go around?
Audience Member
Where is the other door that he came through that he just teleported over there?
Shirley
We're not going to have an answer for you. I'm worried about you because you seem genuinely upset about this. We have no answers.
June Diane Raphael
She has created like a JFK monument in her house of coordinates.
Shirley
You're positing a theory where there's, there's another Jason. There's. It's because this is the magic Jason. There has to be another Jason on the grassy knoll.
Paul Scheer
But you're.
Rob Huebel
But you bring up a good point that there is so much sneaking up behind people that it's like, it's ridiculous. Like this movie could be called just look behind you. Just like one. Everyone's just backing up, backing up. No one ever goes, I'll just look where I'm going.
June Diane Raphael
By the way, how about this? They introduced this so late in the film. There is a ship that they could just easily all get on and then leave Jason on the main ship and get the fuck out of there. He's not blocking it. They don't have to get like.
Rob Huebel
But then the one girl blows it up, right?
June Diane Raphael
But they, but it would have been so easy. Like, hey, let's all go to that one ship, right? Like they're like, it's like, oh, Jason.
Rob Huebel
But then what would we all be doing? We wouldn't be doing.
June Diane Raphael
We wouldn't be here.
Shirley
And again, again you're acting as if that girl or those people are the characters we're following.
June Diane Raphael
Right?
Shirley
And it's not. Jason is the character we are following.
June Diane Raphael
And my only thought again.
Shirley
And Lexi Doig, I guess. Lexi.
Jason Mantzoukas
Alexa.
Shirley
Alexa.
June Diane Raphael
Alexa. Oh no, now we just turned on everyone's Alexas at home.
Shirley
Oh, Alexa.
June Diane Raphael
Alexa Doig.
Shirley
Alexa search. Alexa Doig. Alexa, play Steely Dan. Peggy.
Audience Member
The other thing.
Shirley
Alexa, what's the weather? Oh, this is fun.
June Diane Raphael
People at home are like, oh fuck.
Shirley
Oh come on Alexa, play.
June Diane Raphael
Let the bodies hit the floor.
Shirley
So Alexa, wake the baby.
Audience Member
Alexa.
Paul Scheer
Fuck you.
Shirley
Alexa, tell me a joke. Alexa, tell me a dirty joke.
June Diane Raphael
Joke. They were like, gotta. I have an Alexa. And I got an email every week. It's like, do you like comedy? Ask Alexa to tell you a limerick.
Jason Mantzoukas
Ew.
Shirley
You get that email every week. I would legit kill myself.
June Diane Raphael
I keep it around cuz I want to know what the new latest skills I could teach my Alexa are. I don't do any of them.
Jason Mantzoukas
A limerick, A limerick.
June Diane Raphael
I just like to like. Do you like comedy? Then ask Alexa for a good limerick. I would like this movie to be Jason running around with the mask constantly falling off. Just that, like, just the slapstick. Killing someone. Oh fuck. Where is it? Where is it?
Rob Huebel
My contacts are in that mask.
Shirley
Like how they've done 10 of these. How have they never done one? One that's just like the airplane version of this movie.
June Diane Raphael
Sir, your name and your question.
Audience Member
My name is Ryan, and unfortunately, it is a bit of a statement, but I have some insight that relates to this movie.
Rob Huebel
Are you Todd Farmer?
Audience Member
Yes, I have a limerick. No, I can explain Kane Hodder's sour disposition. Okay, so Freddy versus Jason is canon.
June Diane Raphael
Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, damn. All right.
Audience Member
This is something that fans campaigned for, and Kane Hodder and Robert England both campaigned for it. Conventions and stuff. Probably like the one you went to when it finally was gonna happen. All the rights came together in the different studios and whatever. At the end of Jason Goes to Hell, Jason sinks into hell, literally. The mask is all that's left. And the last scene in the movie is Freddy's hand coming up out of the ground and grabbing it.
Shirley
So Freddy lives underground in hell.
Audience Member
In Jason Goes to Hell, apparently he.
Rob Huebel
Has a part of.
Shirley
So he has a timeshare.
Rob Huebel
So years and years of Donald Trump.
Audience Member
Campaigning like this was like Kane Hodder's life was campaigning for this movie to get made. They made the movie with Robert Englund as Freddie. Some other dude is Jason.
June Diane Raphael
Oh, and this is Kane Hodder here in this one. So you think that Kane Hodder is just.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, you're saying. I'm sorry. I thought this whole story was about how. Why Jason is always trying to kill everyone.
Paul Scheer
But you're.
Jason Mantzoukas
I was like, well, hold on.
Rob Huebel
And Kane hotter. Well, now I want to know more, because, I don't know. He's probably a nice guy. And also, I don't want to get murdered. Like, please, Kane Hodder, don't.
Paul Scheer
Please.
Shirley
I'm glad you said that, because up until now, because we've been friends for a long time, I've considered you someone that wanted to be murdered. No, no, no. I.
June Diane Raphael
No.
Rob Huebel
Let me be clear. I do not want to be murdered.
June Diane Raphael
He said no. He'll always deny it on a podcast, but he definitely wants to be murdered.
Rob Huebel
Alexa, don't murder me.
Paul Scheer
Alexa.
Shirley
Alexa, murder Rob Hubel. Please. Alexa, put Rob Huebel on my do not murder list, as per his instructions. Alexa.
June Diane Raphael
Obviously, we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there with a different opinion. It is now time for second opinions.
Audience Member
Stupid logic. Idiotic. That's what critics say. Great action, superb acting. That's what I am seeing. Top that. Top that. I got a second opinion about that. Top that. Stop that. Top that. Stop that. It's my second opinion, so don't try to stop that.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wake up.
June Diane Raphael
Give it up for Mike.
Rob Huebel
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
Good job, Mike.
June Diane Raphael
With a top stat second opinion theme. Good job. From the great film Teen Witch.
Shirley
Teen Witch callback.
June Diane Raphael
I will say I did not know where it was going to begin with and I was really happy of he.
Rob Huebel
Got more confident as the song went along.
Shirley
Yeah. If that is the power of Teen Witch. If you're having a bad Alexa play Teen Witch top that. That was great, Mike. Great job. You should be proud of your.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, here we go.
Shirley
I still have a problem with those shoes.
June Diane Raphael
This one is written by Gerhalt in 2001.
Rob Huebel
Fake name.
June Diane Raphael
I have a message to all the critics who I'm sure are readying their pins to dump all over this latest installment.
Rob Huebel
They're quill pens.
June Diane Raphael
Don't bother. We know the acting will probably be horrible and the story won't be pointed or meaningful. And it doesn't matter if it's Oscar caliber performances. You want go see Captain Corelli's mandolin.
Jason Mantzoukas
Whoa.
June Diane Raphael
Somebody has to.
Rob Huebel
Whoa.
Shirley
Alexa, play Captain Corelli's mandolin.
June Diane Raphael
Leave us in our slasher film alone. It doesn't need to make sense or even tie into part nine. All we need is Jason and his hockey mask and nudity and blood.
Jason Mantzoukas
Wow.
June Diane Raphael
And that's it. I've been a fan of Jason since 1982 and I plan to be here to the bloody end. Pun intended. Five stars.
Rob Huebel
Sign. Little Rob Hubel, baby.
Shirley
Hubs.
June Diane Raphael
This one is. This one is a weird.
Shirley
You want to pass over it? No, no, no, no.
June Diane Raphael
10 fingers, 10 toes. Not enough to count the bodies. Basically. I watch Jason movies because of the high body count, but this movie went too far.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, wow.
June Diane Raphael
Jason killed. Kills 20 to 25 people. And that's not counting the thousands he.
Jason Mantzoukas
Helped blow up Un solaris.
Shirley
Oh, yeah.
June Diane Raphael
Wow. Jason's mind is gone. As soon as he sees someone, they're dead. It's the best Friday the 13th movie ever. 5 stars. Wait, I thought that's why it's weird.
Jason Mantzoukas
It really takes that the road, like turned upside down and then he drove his car upside down.
Shirley
Yeah. Mind is gone.
Jason Mantzoukas
His mind is gone, but his is gone.
Shirley
Guys, it is interesting because they say his brain is so small.
Rob Huebel
Yeah.
Shirley
You know, at some point. So like.
June Diane Raphael
But his dick is very big.
Shirley
Okay, Paul, wait.
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
Rob Huebel
Why did you focus on that one line?
Shirley
What's that about? Paul?
Rob Huebel
That's the thing that you took away from.
Jason Mantzoukas
Well, because I thought it was something. There is.
June Diane Raphael
I thought it was weird because she said, but his dick is so big.
Rob Huebel
And then she says she's hung like A mammoth.
Shirley
Oh, okay.
June Diane Raphael
All right. He's hung like a mammoth.
Paul Scheer
Paul.
Rob Huebel
Why do you know that?
Shirley
Yeah, Paul. And she says, I bet he's hung like a mammoth. We just decided it's true and have run with also.
Rob Huebel
Just look at his dead, limp dick and find out.
Shirley
There's one way to figure this out. Alexa, how big is Jason Voorhees penis?
Paul Scheer
Which?
June Diane Raphael
Jason Voorhees.
Shirley
Alexa, how big as a mammoth's penis?
June Diane Raphael
This is one of my favorite Reviews here from Mr. Bavine. Mr. Bavine, one of the guys looked like Laurence Fishburne. And I thought he was until I found out he wasn't. For anyone that didn't know the X in Jason, X means the tenth one. The actors did a good job. And that one girl actually took the dead guy's gun. I've been wanting someone to keep the guy's weapon every time I watch a horror movie. Overall, I'd say this is the best Friday the 13th ever. Five stars.
Rob Huebel
Wow.
Jason Mantzoukas
You know, the other thing I just want to ask is, does this movie take place on Friday the 13th?
June Diane Raphael
No.
Jason Mantzoukas
No. Okay.
Shirley
Because there is no Friday the 13th in space.
Jason Mantzoukas
Right?
June Diane Raphael
That's Earth, too. They've outlawed it with.
Shirley
That does make me. It does make me, like, kind of begs the question, what is Jason? I still haven't gotten an answer.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, well, you're gonna struggle with that until you die.
Shirley
What is Jason? Do you know? No.
Rob Huebel
He's a shooting star, bro.
June Diane Raphael
And then, finally, this is a very heavily edited review, like eight, nine paragraphs here from Techno Machinima 1996. And I'm just gonna read the final paragraph, pronounced machina. Oh, yeah, Techno X. Mach. But there's no X, so it's techno. It's not even spelled like that. Okay. Overall, if you're looking for unique sci fi horror experience, if you like to look at attractive and decidedly sexy people, if you're into Jason and Friday the 13th but need something different, if you like super awesome special effects, if you like action, if you like humor, if you like sex appeal in your horror movies, and you want to see Jason in a whole new way, well, then this movie's definitely for you.
Rob Huebel
Super awesome special effects. Really?
June Diane Raphael
What? Why?
Shirley
Why?
Rob Huebel
What is Jason?
Shirley
What is Jason? Why when Jason gets, you know, fixed by the ants, does he get turned into, like, Bane?
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Why is he so much more, like, ripped?
Shirley
He's jacked and he's half metal and he's like. It's like he gets.
Rob Huebel
Cause the ants fucked him. They all fuck. If you got fucked by Ants. You'd be.
Shirley
So you think that is a sexual process?
June Diane Raphael
Why wouldn't they regenerate his skin? And why would they regenerate his mask? Yeah, like, because it's nanotechnology.
Rob Huebel
Why were his eyes red?
Shirley
Smoking that weed, bro.
June Diane Raphael
Because a replicant, right? The replicants all have red eyes.
Shirley
Oh, is that right?
June Diane Raphael
Okay, guys, sorry. Didn't mean to go crazy with my Blade Runner.
Jason Mantzoukas
Now he looks like. Like.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah, my Blade Runner.
Paul Scheer
Hot.
Jason Mantzoukas
Oh, I said I thought he looked like. Like Bebop or Rocksteady, like from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with a little bit of Krang because his head's so brick.
Rob Huebel
I have a. I have a question, too.
Shirley
I would. I would maybe, like, say Legend of the Ooze more. But let's see.
Rob Huebel
I have a question, too. At the very end, where those, the horny teens see the shooting star of Jason and Brodsky, they're on.
Shirley
On Earth 2.
Paul Scheer
Earth.
Shirley
Earth 2.
Rob Huebel
Okay, okay, that's what I want.
Audience Member
Earth 2.
Rob Huebel
Which is somehow habitable, because I was told.
Shirley
Yeah, because we destroyed Earth.
Rob Huebel
Yeah, but I thought all planets were uninhabitable.
Shirley
No, just Earth regularly.
Rob Huebel
Paul, edit that out.
Shirley
Earth 2 is fine. Alexa, is Earth 2 still habitable?
June Diane Raphael
Does anyone want to take a swing at what the tagline might be for this?
Rob Huebel
Don't wreck my pants.
June Diane Raphael
It is this Halloween. Meet the perfect 10 in terror. Now, what is interesting about that is this movie came out April 26th.
Jason Mantzoukas
And also. Wait, I'm sorry. And this is. You might just also have to edit this out, because it's a genuine question. This movie is not from the Halloween series either, right?
June Diane Raphael
No. Okay.
Jason Mantzoukas
So, okay, yeah, yeah. This Halloween, perfect 10.
Rob Huebel
Isn't April 26th like Easter?
June Diane Raphael
Well, again, that would go with the other good tagline, resurrection. He's been drowned, chainsawed, knifed, axed, hammered, shocked, burned, spiked, nailed, shot, and frozen. And now he's back for more. Like, it's, you know, Resurrection.
Shirley
Wait, was he in Frozen? Jason. Not a lot of people.
June Diane Raphael
He is the Stonemate.
Shirley
Olaf.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. Yeah. This movie came out in 2002. The number. The top three movies that year were Spider Man, Lord of the Rings, the Two Towers, Star wars, episode two. And the budget was $11 million, and worldwide it made 16 million. It was a profitable.
Rob Huebel
So we're the dicks.
Shirley
We don't know. We don't know for peanuts.
Rob Huebel
Don't use fucking industry terms on me, Alexa.
Shirley
Buy the house on Blu Ray. One click. Purchase.
Rob Huebel
This.
Shirley
Sales just blew right after this episode. Like, bam. A huge spike.
June Diane Raphael
Let's so obviously we watch these movies because they're like fun bad movies. And so now let's go around and see. Do you believe that this is a fun bad movie to watch? You don't have to agree to it. You. It's your own opinion. Would you recommend people to watch this film if they have not seen it?
Rob Huebel
I will say watch this movie. Don't watch this movie while you're watching your baby try to go to sleep because you. You're listening to people getting murdered and people screaming while you're watching your baby also scream at you. This is a very niche angle on this.
June Diane Raphael
You should have put your iPad in the baby's crib. Then you could be watching your baby end the movie almost like you're at a drive in.
Rob Huebel
I should have just seen the baby.
Shirley
Monitor on which is the iPad playing the movie.
June Diane Raphael
Yes.
Shirley
Smart. Really smart and not damaging at all to the baby.
June Diane Raphael
Jason, any. What would you. What would you say here?
Shirley
You know, it's. It's fine. There are better. There are better. We've done better. The Halloween that we did Season of the Witch.
June Diane Raphael
Leprechaun. Yeah, we did Season of the Witch.
Shirley
Season of the Witch.
June Diane Raphael
That's what it.
Shirley
Yeah, okay, sorry. That or Leprechaun in the Hood. Right? That's what the leprechaun was. Yeah. Those movies are better. Troll the Troll 2.
June Diane Raphael
We did not do that.
Shirley
But that's a good. Like there are better.
Rob Huebel
Please ask me back for troll.
Shirley
Oh yeah, for sure. There are better. Like this is fine. And watch it if you want. It's fun. It is very self aware. It's very goofy. There's.
June Diane Raphael
But not enough. Like it's not enough.
Shirley
Nor. That's the thing is it's a bit neither. Nor. If you don't watch it, I think you're fine. I don't think. It's not like it's Miami Connection, right. Which every single Alexa purchase. Miami Connection. That movie is like the greatest. And this is kind of like blah, if I'm being honest. Jeff.
Paul Scheer
Jenny.
Jason Mantzoukas
I would say it's worth it for one thing, which is that the costume designer truly put everyone, almost everyone in some sort of sort of velour vest or belly shirt or belly shirt.
June Diane Raphael
Yeah. The costume designer is really the person to look out for. I feel like that is. It is really.
Shirley
They made a real attempt to provide futuristic tech and all that stuff, but they just assumed that everybody in 400 years in the future will dress like people in 2002.
Jason Mantzoukas
Yeah. Like real chenille kind of stuff. I really. It's great for that. And if you like to smoke weed. But I. But I would say it was. I mean, I'm like, it was a little bit gross, you know?
Paul Scheer
Yeah.
June Diane Raphael
To me, I would say, like, I find it to be, like, the same way. I was like, yeah, it was fine.
Jason Mantzoukas
It was fine.
June Diane Raphael
It's a movie. There's other movies we talked about in the beginning. Other horror movies that went to space were Hellraiser, Leprechaun, and Critters. So maybe we just do four of these and just figure out what's the best person in space.
Shirley
Space.
Rob Huebel
I think a better version of this movie would have been the whole. If the whole thing had been.
Paul Scheer
Or.
Rob Huebel
Or no, at the midpoint of the movie, if it had switched to the SIM of Crystal Lake. Like, once they got into that, I thought, like, oh, that's the movie. Like, that's the thing. I mean, not the girls. Like, we love premarital sex. But I mean, it would have been.
Shirley
Interesting to have to have the people on the ship act like they were in. In a summer camp, like on Earth. On an old Earth.
Jason Mantzoukas
A full circle.
Shirley
That they don't know what it is.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Shirley
So they're having to do it in order to lure Jason out or. That would have been fun.
Rob Huebel
Are you listening to this fucking farmer?
Shirley
Are you taking note on farmersonly.com just dating himself.
June Diane Raphael
He's always liking himself.
Rob Huebel
Ding dong. Oh, it's me.

Recorded live at: Largo at the Coronet, Los Angeles
Guests: Rob Huebel, Jenny Slate
The HDTGM crew takes on the cult classic/horror oddity Jason X for their Halloween episode, joined by returning favorites Rob Huebel and Jenny Slate. As always, Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas gleefully dissect this 2001 entry in the Friday the 13th franchise, notorious for sending Jason Voorhees into outer space—resulting in a film that's equal parts baffling, hilarious, and cheesy. The panel cracks wise about the production, the bewildering plot, and (as always) the endless list of franchise inconsistencies, plus field questions from the live audience.
Zero Jason Expertise: None of the hosts or guests (except partial credit to Rob) claim deep knowledge of the Friday the 13th franchise. As Jason Mantzoukas puts it:
“A lot of my notes are reminders to ask you guys or the nerds what the myth... It took me until the very end... oh, right. No, Jason is the main character.” [06:39]
Alien Redux: The panel repeatedly points out the movie feels like a cheap knock-off of Alien, swapping the Xenomorph for Jason. June:
“The person watched Alien, rewrote it, and instead of an alien, it was Jason. And they were like, that's the movie.” [07:16]
“Space heightening. That's just heightening. Where else do we go?” [08:05] “I'll take it... I believe we mentioned that it should be in space in our podcast.” [08:28]
Rob Huebel’s Jason Prank (and injury): Rob shares a story of attempting to scare his friends at a summer camp with a mask and hatchet—but instead runs, full-speed, into a rusty clothesline:
“I ran into a clothesline. Like, an old rusty wire. Full speed… I can run like 60, 70 miles an hour.” [13:44]
Jason Franchise Recap: June attempts to clarify the mythology—revealing many inconsistencies, including:
Jason’s Powers & "Motivation":
“Does Jason. What is Jason? Which for me is an existential note.” [22:29] “It's as if Jason Voorhees is Wolverine.” [22:11] “Is he a ghost? Is he dead? Does he have a soul?” [22:23]
Dialog & Plot Absurdities:
“The scientist goes, this is the grossest thing I’ve ever heard. I want him soft.” (19:48)
Overt Sexuality & Nipple Gags:
“Her nipples fall off like your refrigerator lost magnetism.” [45:40]
“Apparently this man climaxing is what awakes Jason. He doesn’t like horniness.” [39:50] “He doesn’t hate fucking. He hates teens. That fuck.” [40:04]
Everyone riffs endlessly on the costuming, noting how a supposed 2455 spaceship crew sports belly shirts, velour, and “current-day negligees”:
“You would assume everyone in 400 years in the future would dress like people in 2002.” [89:11]
Jason's mask is discussed as a relic, with jokes about hockey being outlawed—and the crew's inability to recognize a “hockey mask” after several centuries.
CGI and practical effects are mercilessly roasted, especially “digital blood” and “ant/robot/nanotech” scenes:
“It’s not just nanotechnology. It’s just ants… They cut to an extreme closeup, and it’s just bugs.” [58:58]
On VR/holodeck scenes:
“Jason is able, without his own set, without anything, to participate in the game.” [53:12]
“There has to be another Jason on the grassy knoll.” [72:10]
“Alexa, play Steely Dan… Alexa, let the bodies hit the floor.” [73:21–73:40]

On Repeated Jason Executions:
Audience points out Jason is said to have been executed by electricity, firing squad, and hanging, before jumping to cryofreezing—sparking general disbelief (65:08).
On Jason's Teleporting:
Audience notices Jason appears to teleport, showing up in rooms with zero explanation (69:59–71:24).
On “Celery Regeneration”:
A fan swears a nurse robot says “celery regeneration” instead of “cellular regeneration,” to much laughter (66:32).
“It's fine. There are better… If you don't watch it, I think you're fine.” [88:25, Shirley]
Unabashedly silly, quick-witted, and irreverent. The panel swings from plot dissection to absurd tangents, never shying from crude humor or poking fun at themselves as much as the film.
In summary:
This Jason X episode of HDTGM is a wild ride through sci-fi/horror nonsense, gleefully shredded by a panel of comedians and their live audience. The episode is bursting with gags about nipples, franchise fatigue, future fashion, and the eternal mystery: “What is Jason?” Watch the movie only if you’re ready for a lot of laughs (from the podcast), some cringing (from the movie), and a spaceship crew with questionable taste in both technology and crop tops.
