Starting point is 00:01:16 Shall we watch Part 2? Let's do it. Okay. Maybe that was Paul Because it didn't look like mom anymore But also Where are the other friends Exactly, Rex and the other girl

Starting point is 00:01:41 I guess they just survived Because they got wasted at the bar You kept saying Rex and I don't I never heard I know you said that But I never heard anybody call him that Yeah he in the very very beginning He's like hey I'm Rex

Starting point is 00:01:53 And in my brain I went He looks exactly like a Rex I had heard Max really i don't know something like that you guys can let us know in the comments if it was rest or max i'm not sure we don't know we'll look it up we'll look it up um okay that movie ended just now yeah so we just watch friday thirteenth part two still no mask um listen if you haven't already no joke everyone's talking about these sweaters just they're so comfortable if you have bought one please send us a photo of you in them. We will retweet,

Starting point is 00:02:28 repost, re-story, whatever. We want it. Send us a picture of your order. We love, we love posting that that somebody ordered them. Yeah, or send you in it, whatever it is. Rejectnationshop.com. Listen. If you're on Apple and Spotify, five stars. Okay, listen.

Starting point is 00:02:46 What'd you think of this movie? Okay. The flip of when the girl gets the sweater on and she turns into the mom, I really like that switch. Didn't see it coming. That was the one, like, truly creative move of this.

Starting point is 00:03:02 I agree. It didn't make much sense to me, considering we saw her not be able to think on her toes at all in any way. But she did hear the legend when they were around us. She gave him notes on Part 2, so she really knew that story. Yeah. And maybe she's not a fighter. She's a thinker. But, like, just her inability.

Starting point is 00:03:23 Paul. Paul. I know. That was weird. So, like, then for her to be like, actually, I'm going to play the part of his mom right now. Yeah. But that was a really cool plot point. I agree.

Starting point is 00:03:32 That was my favorite part. I was like, I was a shocker to me. And I went, yeah, that makes up for the kind of the rest of this movie and being slow and being kind of a copycat from the first one. It's the same thing of a person going around camp killing the kids. We don't really see any of the guy yet till the end. But the reveal of Swamp Boy at the end, I, that's what I. I wanted to see and I got it. And he looked freaking disgusting.

Starting point is 00:04:01 The one eye to a situation. I mean, his face was all weird and like lumpy and just that was gnarly. And I loved all the special effects in that. That was phenomenal. So are we assuming that Jason got out of the water, didn't drown and has been living in the forest? Out of the water. Yeah. And he's been living in the forest.

Starting point is 00:04:23 Or are you thinking this some kind of a supernatural thing? I think that he's been in and out of the water. If that's the case, why didn't he ever see his mom? I think that maybe he did. Maybe, maybe, maybe he did see his. So you don't think he died. You think he really was alive and his mom was that upset

Starting point is 00:04:46 even though because of his face? It's just that I have questions. I understand it's a horror movie and it's like fine. But I have questions. Me too. I have questions about all of these movies. Like our favorite franchise is Chucky and that is about like a human in a doll's body. But they explain it in the movie.

Starting point is 00:05:05 They do. We work in this world, but they explain it in the movie. In this movie, I'm lacking a little explanation of what's happening here, which is fine. But also on top of that, I didn't love the women, which is also fine because of the time period. But it was the same movie as the first. They made them stronger. They made them very weak in this one. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:05:24 especially at times stereotypical yes yes um like even with some of the lines like about the flirting lines it was like what what boys what save your energy young boys what dream is like yeah yeah because i've come up here yeah but i don't mind that because it's like horror sexy yeah it's like this movie just i'll be honest it didn't land for me the way i like the first one a lot better yeah this one did not land for me but what is cool is that i'm still curious about this franchise me too swamp boy go murderous rampage interested love it because once once the um kind of the flip happy we we saw the kill in the wheelchair that was the big it the better kill of like once he gets that night that looked awesome great special effects there no payoff of that

Starting point is 00:06:12 but he's talking about like yeah I think I'm going to be able to use my legs again absolutely not what are you training for we have no idea right there's every there's so many gems they kept saying these lines where it's like oh there could be such a moment there I'm always late. I'll never be late again. I think I'll be able to use my legs again. Like there was so much future talk and then they're just dead. No payoffs. Absolutely. I feel like as though was this so late back in the day that when you write a script you don't know what callbacks are? I don't know. I doubt it because we had plenty of those in other movies in the late 70s. I think that my favorite parts were when it got into the kills, which was like the last 30 minutes of the movie, that was our movie. that we enjoy that that was what we were waiting for but it's like the buildup to it was a steal

Starting point is 00:07:00 from the first movie which i guess if we had never seen the first movie it would been like cool but we kind of felt it all coming so this came out in 81 okay so the first one that we watched came out in 80 this came out in 81 quick let me tell you some stuff which is funny because they spent the first five minutes retelling us what happened um the director steve miner he He directed Halloween, H20, 20 years later. He directed this. He did some Once Upon a Time, which I actually loved. He did Warlock House.

Starting point is 00:07:32 Okay, he does a lot of TV shows, Switched Up Birth, Make It or Break It, Chasing Life. So a bunch of TV shows. Let's talk a little bit about some trivia things going on here. Can you check? Is it the same producer for this film and the last film? I would love to know. Of which of the producers? Any of them.

Starting point is 00:07:49 The EP or? Okay, I'll tell you the five producers on this, and then I'll go look at the last one. Lisa Beresomian, Tom Gruenberg, Frank Mancuso, Steve Minner, Miner, Dennis Stewart Murphy. Okay. Now let's see if they're in the... Yeah. You do have a phone as well. Oh, right.

Starting point is 00:08:10 But I've got you. This one, Stephen S. Cunningham, Alvin, the last one, Alvin Gillier, and Steve Miner. So, okay. So I wonder, I was just curious. So Steve for both. Steve Miner for both. But he was associate producer of the first one. Right. So he must have given maybe Sean Cunningham. He gave him some of the notes on taking it slow or whatever. Or Steve Minor is trying to pull a lot from what Cunningham did and build that up with what he is producing and directing now. It just, there wasn't a big switch. It's not like he had a big huge imagination and it was different. Let's see what the trivia is for this. Okay, following the release of Friday 13th, 1980, Adrian King had numerous

Starting point is 00:08:56 encounters with an obsessive fan. Situation escalated into a stalker case and she decided to avoid any further acting opportunities. She has not done any on-screen film work since, but has done voiceover work on several films more than 15 years later. Wait, who? The main girl from the beginning. Wow. Interesting. But she was still in the beginning of this movie, but that sucks. Stalker situations are no fucking joke and what's wrong with people. Um, okay, in the scene when Jason Cresden's the window and grabs Ginny, the actor Warrington Gillette was actually hurt. He tried to break into the window, only it didn't break and he ended up banging his head really hard on the glass. Dang, that sucks. The shot of the infamous double impalement was cut to avoid an X rating,

Starting point is 00:09:44 yet a gory still photo of this censored shot appears in the back of the video cassette. The footage of the censored portion was finally recovered in 2020 from an old VHS of the gore shots that Carl Fullerton kept for his portfolio and was included on the Scream Factory deluxe collection of the films.

Starting point is 00:10:05 Wow. So we didn't get to see it. Can you guys leave that shot in the comments of the double? It's the guy and the girl and the thing goes through the bed. I want to see it. Yeah, we talked about that.

Starting point is 00:10:14 Maybe a lot of this was to avoid the X cut and stuff like that. The first Jason seen in the movie is a shot of Jason's leg walking towards the, walking across the street toward Alice's house. This is the only time in the series Jason was played by a woman, Alan Blutter, the film's costume designer. Oh. Oh. Okay.

Starting point is 00:10:34 The plot of Part 2 shocked most people associated with the original film, really? Betsy Palmer, Tom Savini, and Sean Cunningham all have made public remarks about how stupid it was that Jason was alive the whole time and if he was then why didn't he just tell his mother that he was alive which would have avoided all the murders in part one. That's what you just said. So it's good. We read this because

Starting point is 00:10:55 yeah. It's like, I just don't get it unless he's supernatural and he's just been there alive but he didn't want to see his mom for the last 20 years. Right. I agree with you. The actors stayed in the cabins on set. John Fury Bill Randolph and Russell Todd

Starting point is 00:11:11 came to Lauren Marie Taylor's cabin to play a prank on her. They scratched on her window, and she hypervinyl ventilated till she fainted. That's messed up, y'all. That's like, you don't do that. Come on. Yikes. This movie seems a wackadoodle.

Starting point is 00:11:31 This film has one of the longest pre-credit sequences in cinematic history nearly 18 minutes in some versions. That's right. We did go quite all in some versions. I hopefully, but it was the long. one yeah yeah those are just some of them for now yeah i mean okay so i don't know like i don't want to you know rain on anybody's parade with this one and it wasn't like oh my god that movie's trash is just i have questions and i don't know that they have answers and i like some of the cool kills i liked some of the characters i like the settings still uh and the concept of jason

Starting point is 00:12:08 interests me the house cabin thing was cool new reveal with like the shrines that he had Yeah. That's also wild to me. Back in the day, you could get fully nude, but you can't show a kill. Yeah. R. So, Wack the wild ratings. I agree with that completely, though. Like what nudity, everybody has a body. That's true. But not everybody could see. Yeah, that, that's true. I mean, I think, but I'm saying for now, I think the ratings, if you show a fully nude woman, I think it has to be rated R. It is rated R. It didn't want to be rated X. Oh, it didn't want to be rated X. interesting but if it's already rated R you I would as the director I would be very angry that we couldn't show the double kill in the bed that's what we're here for I mean we're here for this is what we came for yeah that's what the audience wants and I think that would have made us a little bit we would have liked to see those kills a little bit more we noticed that we were just like even like when he's going down the stairs but then we stop And with the guy, you know, he sits his throat,

Starting point is 00:13:17 she runs out to go cut him off. All we see is her, and I don't know if that's a budget cost thing. Yeah, you were like she's dead. I didn't even catch it. Yeah. It was just a look in camera. Like she saw the killer and I'm like, cool, we're not going to see that. I thought her look was, I can't believe I just saw him hanging.

Starting point is 00:13:32 What the fuck do I do? No, she's dead. No, for sure. But I'm just saying I didn't even. Right. And I'm watching watching. Other people probably thought that too. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:41 I agree, Tara, especially because this whole. movie because it doesn't quite make sense, then it's got to be about how cool the kills are. I agree. It's got to be the point. That's when it really picked up for us when we, when it really running, hiding on it. Yeah, which was late. It's like 20, 30 minutes left of the movie. It's happened in there.

Starting point is 00:13:59 Really started to pick up. But it does still, I mean, with this, I would be intrigued to see, I mean, and I obviously am, we're going to watch all of it. I'm interested to see where it goes and why, I mean, luckily for us, we know that. he is going to end up in a hockey mask and that is the iconic image that we see people dress up as that you see in Halloween that I'm really excited to see like well why then did it become so iconic when he gets the hockey mask and all of that like what what are the next movies and what are the kills we're going to see there and are they not afraid to push for the ratings I think it's just

Starting point is 00:14:36 part three and I think I saw it was 81 or 82 so this is 81 the next one's yeah they went right away. 82. I'm really excited to see where they go with it because you absolutely cannot, maybe you can, but I don't think it would be great, go to a camp again and us not see a killer and kill them off one by one. I think people are going, they would riot. So for this third one, there's got to be a switch and I'm here for it. I'm with you. Any final thoughts on this other than to buy our sick crew necks? You guys got to get on this. I mean, come on now. They're so cool. Support us. We would, we love it. I mean, don't, don't miss out. We're going to be posting pictures of people who are buying them. So, and we're very, very excited. We love your guys to support. Those, I don't have any more thoughts except we love you. Thank you. Like, share this video. Comment. We love you. Later, rejacks and she checks alike.
