Eat Your Mangoes.
We’re veering away from back-to-back weeks of offensive/controversial films following our discussion of Scary Movie 2 and Freeway and back into comfortable franchise territory. That’s right, just in time for…umm Friday the 12th…Trace and I dipped a toe into Camp Crystal Pond and the “FriGay” installment of the Friday the 13th series, Part 7: The New Blood.
In John Buechler‘s 1988 film, psychokinetic Tina (Lar Park-Lincoln) is forced to confront her familial trauma by returning to…some form of Camp Crystal Lake with her supportive mother (Susan Blu) and nefarious doctor Crews (Terry Kiser). There she inadvertently (re)awakens the water-logged spirit of Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) who embarks on a new killing spree consisting principally of the 100s of horny teens staying in the cottage’s new door.
Who will win this showdown: the obvious homage to Carrie or the unstoppable wall of a man that is Jason Voorhees?

Episode 116 – Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood (1988) feat. Greg Mucci
Happy Friday the…12th! We’re giving you a reason to ki ki ki, ma ma ma anyways with our discussion of all things Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood (1988). Joining us is super fan Greg Mucci, who has controversial franchise opinions, as well as helpful sexual dietary advice (you want spunk talk? Well, we’re giving it to you!)
Join us as we complain about the million characters, the missing gore and the lack of closure between Tina and Dr. Crews. Plus: the indestructible Kane Hodder, justice for Maddy and Eddie, hating Robin and Melissa and why Trace finds the ending so damn unsatisfying.
Cross out Friday the 13th Part 7!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re travelling back in time and over to France to check out lesbian-coded thriller Les Diaboliques (1955)!
