Friday the 13th Part 2 – Podcast Episode 5

In the second part of 13 episodes all about Friday the 13th, chris and Joey break down Friday the 13th Part 2! In ways it feels like more of the same from the previous film, but there are some notable differences (not the least of which being a different killer). In many ways this film feels like a transition to something different, but is that a good thing?

Show Notes

Welcome back for night two of the Friday the 13th franchise review marathon! Sequels to great movies can be difficult to get right. SHould you go with more of the same or should you try to branch out and do something very different? There are merits to both approaches, and Friday the 13th Part 2 feels like it took some cues from both sides of the creative debate. Did it work? Is part 2 a worthy sequel, or is it one that should be forgotten? Listen as we discuss Friday the 13th Part 2, a sequel that, for better or worse, definitely changed the course of the franchise.

What is The Last Theater?

Join chris and Joey as they explore the dark, forgotten side of film. From horror and exploitation, to b-movies, cult, trash cinema, and everything in-between, The Last Theater shows how even the movies mainstream audiences might find worthless have value. With reviews and discussions covering films and topics within the realm of the more extreme and often dismissed side of cinema, chris and Joey illuminate the vital role these types of films play in the larger pantheon of movie history.

Every movie has its audience, and every movie has value. One person's trash cinema is another person's treasure.
