Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
Hey Jason - up your nose with a rubber hose!
Friday the 13th Series Episode 6
Now Playing Podcast continues its Friday the 13th retrospective as the countdown to the new film’s release on Friday, February 13, 2009, keeps rolling. This episode takes on Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, the entry that brings Jason Voorhees back to Camp Crystal Lake in a big, loud, and very intentional way. After the controversy of A New Beginning, Jason Lives marks a tonal shift for the series, leaning into self-awareness, bigger kills, and a more overt embrace of the franchise’s own mythology. Is this the triumphant return fans were hoping for, or just another excuse to dust off the hockey mask? The hosts dig into the humor, the horror, and whether Jason deserves the “Welcome Back” party he gets here.
