This episode is dedicated to Dino Gangale, the host of the Huhuh? Podcast (https://gangalley.com/huuuh/). Dino was a friend of the show. He and Captain Nostalgia met while writing for our friends over at The Farsighted Blog (http://farsightedblog.com/). He recently passed away and had an infinite love of horror films. Rest in peace friend.

Captain Nostalgia and Anthony Ripo (http://www.theretrogamers.com/) discuss the sixth Friday the 13th on a makeshift Friday the 13th. Jason Lives might be one of the strongest entries into the franchise. Journey with us back to the 1980s to talk about the film's format, the resurrection of a slasher icon, attempting to outrun suicide and much more.
