IN THIS EPISODE…

We’re staring into the abyss of 2002’s Jason X to see what will gaze back. Another Friday the 13th is upon us and for this special episode we are heading into the future and space for the tenth installment of the franchise. Anthony Ripo, of The Retro Gamers Podcast, joins us to discuss this seemingly strange slasher film that has all the makings of a Syfy made-for-television movie. In this episode, we’ll address the climate of horror in the early 2000’s, the bizarre slasher trend of space travel, a need for mental health education and much more.
