This week's videos are sponsored by an app that I've been using since before we even partner with them. And that app is rocket money. More on them after the reaction people. Here we go. Friday 13th, Part 7, the new blood. Boom, baby. I go. Like, I would say that's definitely in the top three, if not the best one, maybe number one or two.
Starting point is 00:01:36 It's great. Four, six, really love seven. That was so good. And even though we didn't get jump scares, it's okay with us. No, I feel like the franchise isn't about the jump scares. It's about how cool the kills are. Agreed. And it's about the hotties.
Starting point is 00:01:51 I know. The honeys and the kills. Yeah. And this had really cool. cool kills it's not like kills that need to surprise you it's kills that have to look cool right and then like i love that we went into the supernatural i have no idea why she can do the things she can do but i dig supernatural stuff me too and i really didn't want them to be like let's explain exactly why she has these because we didn't need it for this you know totally
Starting point is 00:02:15 that was sick you guys you're sick a couple things for you uh if you're on apple and spotify make sure you leave us that five star and write a review if you are on youtube like comment subscribe we want to see all the things you guys have to say you've been amazing about that so join the cool kids make sure you leave a comment if you don't already have one of these reject
Starting point is 00:02:36 sheject crewnecks and you are behind because all the cool kids have them you want to have yours they come in five different sick colors mine's in the wash right now Tara and I have worn ours almost every single day they are truly awesome like just so
Starting point is 00:02:53 so good we're so proud of them so join the people. Okay, I really love this. I'm going to be talking, I'm going to look up some things about the movie, but while you tell me your thoughts. I loved this one. I, I, um, I love the special effects. I was at first was like, all right, they're showing us Jason instead of sneaking up. Like it's like, oh, that really caught me off guard. But there was, I didn't mind that at all of, of seeing Jason before it actually happens where I feel like a lot of the movies tried to kind of hide it or make it a scarier kill where I'm like it wasn't really a scary or scary or kill in the past ones but in this one we got to see the kills and that's mainly what we want to see and I really like that
Starting point is 00:03:37 I also loved that Jason has finally met his match that Tina is like a match that he could not beat when she takes that mask off of him and he's just looking at her like what the F like who is this girl when you say special effects though I want to go back for a second because you mentioned that. You don't mean CGI special. No, I mean practical. Practical effects. Like that explosion was practical.
Starting point is 00:04:03 The practical effects of the knife and all of the blood, all of it, that's all practical. Like, even so. They always give you shit when you say special effects and they're like, that wasn't a computer. And I'm like, that's not what she's talking about. That is not what I'm talking about. If I have to say practical effects to you guys every time, I will. But I don't think we need to do that. I would say CGI if I meant CGI.
Starting point is 00:04:25 So let's just get that out of the out there into the ether now. What I'm talking special effects, I'm talking there has to be a makeup team to when we saw, I forget her name, hanging off the tree and she has the balloon thing hanging out of her eye. That was her. That was not a prop. That was special effects and makeup,
Starting point is 00:04:42 which looked great. Special effects and makeup had to make that fake head of him in the house, which looked good, which she eventually headbutted Jason with, which was great. It was all practical and it looked awesome and I'm really, really glad that Jason finally met his match
Starting point is 00:05:00 and I hope that we get some more 11 juice and maybe in the next one. I don't know if she's in anymore. We'll have to look, but okay, let me tell you about this guy, Nick. Let's do it. The actor's name is Kevin Spiritus and I don't recognize him from anything,
Starting point is 00:05:14 neither to you, probably because he was in 449 episodes of Days of Our Lives after this. So not until the 90s. opera star not to the 90s but he went over the days of our lives and was on there for a minute after this he did 23 episodes of one life to live so that was he'd be doing soaps with that actually that was 2008 so let's see what did he do right after this this one was in 88 we decided right so he did friday 13th new blood then he did an episode of quantum leap then he did bloodstone
Starting point is 00:05:50 blood, lust, which were video game maybe, or something, and then nothing that I know. It's so crazy because this guy, even if it wasn't Superman, like I feel like he would have been a huge, huge comic book. And he was. He was working, but
Starting point is 00:06:06 wow, he's in an episode of Friends as Dr. Wesley. I do not remember that. Huh. Oh, interesting. In 2000, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When they go to the hospital, I think. Okay, so that's what he did. Let's take a look at our girl, Tina, Lar Park Lincoln.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Lar Park Lincoln is most known for this, not slanding, ghost party, and Roseblood. Never seen any of them. I don't know those either. Roseblood is a Friday 13th fan film that she did. Okay. But no, I don't see. Wow, that's just so crazy. I thought they were both excellent.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Like truly. They were great actors. I believe them. They were very believable. I don't know if you threw them in a different genre, if they might not be, but I believe them. This is interesting. She did a TV show after this.
Starting point is 00:07:01 So in 1988, she did Friday 13, New Blood. Then later on in 1988 to 1990, she was in a TV show called Freddy's Nightmare. She was in one episode, Freddy's Nightmare, as in Freddy Kruger. Oh, okay. With Robert England. Cool.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah, jump in franchises. So that's about the two main actors. I can't believe we never saw them in together. Oh, no, no. What are you doing? What were you playing on IMDB? Now I have to go back in the whole thing. I already pulled up the trivia and she was already there.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I had already done it. I had already put in the work and then I was playing music and it was so loud and I was very, very frightening. This is no good. So it happens when I tell them not to freeze and then I freeze. Okay. Walt Gorney, the veteran actor who played crazy rap. in the original Friday the 13th and Friday 13th Part 2, you remember him?
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yes. Returns as the voice of the narrator during the opening of this film. That's cool. It is possible that the narrator could be crazy Ralph telling the story from Beyond the Great. Oh, cool.
Starting point is 00:08:02 I love that. I really like that. During filming, Kane Hoder's dressing room was a quarter of a mile down a dirt road. One night, filming ended at 2 a.m. And while still in the chasing costume, he decided to walk through the woods on a path to his dressing room.
Starting point is 00:08:19 As he was walking, someone approached him and asked if he was with the movie. He didn't reply because he thought it was pretty stupid question to ask as he was standing there in full Jason costume. When the man asked again, Kane took a little lunge at him and grunted. The guy took off, tripping and running. The next day, director John Carl Buechler told Kane that local sheriff was supposed to stop by, but he never showed. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:45 That's great. I love that. Funny, funny. Director John Carl Buechler has publicly fumed many times over the years about the number of edits required by the MPAA to avoid an X rating. The film had to be submitted nine times to them before being granted in R rating. And it stands as arguably the most heavily censored entry in the Friday 13th series. I would agree with that. Maybe the MPAA got more as the years went on.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Like, how did we get that one with, like, 16 sets of boobies? Right, exactly. This film was originally intended to bring horror icons Jason Voorhees and Freddie Kruger together on screen for the first time. However, when Paramount Pictures, which at the time held the rights to Friday 13th, and New Line Cinema, which holds the rights to Nightmare on Elm Street series, couldn't agree behind the scenes. The script was rewritten to pit Jason up against telekinetic Tina Shepard instead. Oh. The crossover wouldn't happen for another 15 years until Freddie, version. as Jason was finally produced.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Wow. So that's how they had to do this. They were like that. Okay. Got it. Makes sense. Yep. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:54 During filming producers hired Leslie Busby, the local gator man to be the alligator wrangler, keep alligators away from the actors. Since alligators were not active in the winter when they were filming October and November, they ended up paying him to do nothing but watch the lake. Huh. Still, I'd be like, I don't care if it's winter. If it's not frozen over, look out for the gators, please. It's like crazy, like, what do I mean they do nothing?
Starting point is 00:10:20 I'd be still scared. Right. Any hopes of a complete uncut version of the film being released were dashed when it was revealed that the footage no longer exists as Paramount destroyed all the outtakes. All that remains of them exist only in bootleg work prints or of horrific low quality. That's so wrong. Why would they do that? That's like, takes their own money.
Starting point is 00:10:40 You're never supposed to destroy footage. That's, like, not nice, paramount. And it just doesn't make sense for their own... I don't understand that. Okay. In Keenhoder's book, Unmasked, the true story of the world's most prolific cinematic killer, he notes that one of the fondest memories of Part 7 shoot
Starting point is 00:10:58 was film's costume costume costume, making his mother a custom Jason's mom crew member's jacket, which he found very amusing. He says that she would wear it during the whole final two decades up until her passing. He noted that it would be a little. over 90 degrees in her hometown of Sparks, Nevada, but she would still proudly wear it to the grocery store,
Starting point is 00:11:18 hoping someone would say something. I love that. In case they inquired, her purse was loaded, was signed autographs that he would send to her that were leftovers from his convention appearances. He noted that at times it got playfully embarrassing, but because it made her beam with pride, he also oddly loved it and holds onto it as a positive memory.
Starting point is 00:11:39 That's one of my favorite stories. I would do the same thing. That is so great. That's awesome. We wish our moms got to do that. I mean, come on. That's really, really good. So those are some of the things.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Let's do one more. Carrie Noonan, who played Paula in Friday the 13th, Part 6, Jason Lives, read for the role of Tina when she thought it was the title, Birthday Bash. She quickly realized it was a Friday 13th film and confessed that she'd starred in the last movie. so John Carl Buechler decided not to cast her. Oh. How did he not know? Yeah, right? Like, interesting.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah. Wow. Damn. Okay. So on to the next, ma'am. I loved it. That was great. That was excellent.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Was that one of your favorites too? Definitely. I really liked it and I thought the writing was good. And I especially like the actors, they were subtle. Nobody was too, like, high. or low in energy. They were all matched. They all matched. And that's good. Oh, I want to see the other guy that we recognized really quick. The guy that was the friend, right? Reject Nation, as a business owner, I'm actually terrible at tracking finances, believe it or not. It's something I work on a lot because I
Starting point is 00:12:58 can be forgetful. I can have terrible oversight when it comes to tracking things. I'm sure you can understand the immense hatred that comes with the feeling of forgetting to pay for something or the feeling of consistently paying for something you forget to cancel or something that you just simply haven't thought about in a while, so you keep paying for it, which is the same thing as what I just said. Anyway, that's why I started using Rocket Money about a year and a half ago, and that's today's sponsor. And it's always cool to be partnered up with a product that you've already been using before you started doing a sponsorship with them, because it makes it more natural. But seriously, Rocket Money has taken care of a lot of the thinking for me and has been a massive lifesaver. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that simplifies managing money by canceling unnecessary subscriptions, lowering bills. Rocket Money does the heavy lifting by analyzing your spending, then customizes notifications to help you stay within your budget goals.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I was relieved to know that over 74% of people, not 75, but 74 specifically, forget about subscriptions they do not use. I was paying for things I don't even remember subscribing to. Odds are with some free trial that I forgot to cancel. But one of the best things about Rocket Money is it finds those things and makes it effortless to cancel them. What I really love about Rocket Money's organization, it keeps everything in one place. Imagine seeing all your subscriptions with just a tap and being able to cancel the ones you don't want. It even compares your spending month to month so it's been able to help me stay on track with bettering my spending. And one of the great benefits, too, I can absolutely attest to this.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Rocket Money can also negotiate lower bills for you up to 20%. With over 5 million users and $500 million saved and cancel subscriptions, it's helped people on average save up to $740 a year. So stop wasting money on things you don't use like old Greg did. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to. RocketMoney.com slash rejects. Once again, that's rocketwoney. com slash rejects.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Help up your game and be financially responsible and reap the dang benefits, people. Um, yes. What was his name, though? Uh, was it Michael? No? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:56 A lot of them don't have the pictures. Oh, yeah. They're all blank. Yeah, so it's hard to tell. I really think that the MPAA must have gotten stricter a 1988 because six or five or whatever we watched was a lot worse with more blood, I think, and definitely a lot more nudity than this one had for sure. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I'm very curious about that. That must, to say that he was fuming because he had to send it back nine times, I would be fuming too to go like, have you seen the other ones that you approved? Like, I would be mad about it too. Okay, this is funny. the guy that played Dr. Cruz was actually in Lois and Clark which is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Really? Yeah. Let's see. It looks like he was in a lot of Lois and Clark from 95 to 96. Oh wow. The doctor, not the kid. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:15:51 But still, we were talking a lot about that. Superman and Lois, that's interesting. He played H.G. Wells for anybody who watched. He was also a weekend at Bernie's and six-pack. So those are things that. I have seen... I've seen Wegan at Bernies. I don't recognize him, but...
Starting point is 00:16:06 No, I haven't seen six-pack, but just, like, things heard of. Yeah, okay. Okay. Are you ready to get out of here later? I am. We'll see you guys for the eighth one. I believe there is an eighth one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:17 So we'll see you guys here for it. Okay, later rejects, she-jex. All righty. You know what time it is. Super sexy. Patronajectamundo's. We're going to call your names out.
