You know what that sound means? It's another
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I'll be
your host. I am joined by... Jim. How are you?
I was going to say, should I just have introduced
you? It seems like a second. Wait, what am I?
Who am I again? I forget. I don't know. we've
got a very special episode today uh it is releasing
on friday the 13th so of course in october and
of course we're doing five bad horror movies
this month so you actually chose the bad movie
which we'll get into in a second but i knew i
had to have you on the show because you chose
which friday the 13th we were talking about right
i had to i had to think of what the worst one
is since we're doing bad movies and it's it's
it's pretty bad yeah it has some fun of course
with all the friday 13th but first let's talk
about what we're drinking jim what is that monstrosity
you've got over there this monstrosity is in
honor of jason takes manhattan And as everyone
knows, in 1989, when this movie came out, toxic
waste was a big thing in Manhattan. So this drink
is toxic waste. What it is, this is a pineapple
White Claw with a shot of absolute vanilla topped
off with some delicious Mountain Dew blast. Is
that Hank Hill? Hank Hill, yes. Yes. An honor
of Jason Takes Manhattan. I've made myself a
Manhattan because I just thought, why not? Gives
me a reason to do so. And of course, I've got
a beer, too, because I actually did pop the beer
just in case. But it's a what is this beer company
again? I can't remember. Full Steam. And it is
Rocket Science IPA. Very nice. It's in the Buc
-ee's koozie because of course. Of course. You
can't go wrong with Buc -ee's. You can't go wrong
with Buc -ee's. We've got Jason Takes Manhattan.
Alright, so you said we've got to do the worst
one. I don't think Jason Takes Manhattan is the
worst one. What do you think is the worst one?
I think it's Jason Goes to Hell. It could be.
It could be. I think there's things that are
about this movie, this particular one. The original
two scripts that were fighting over each other.
The fact that the studio up to this point gave
them the most money they've ever had for a Friday
the 13th movie. And the fact that it made the
least of any of the Friday the 13th movies at
the box office. It does have... Fantastic moments
here and there. Of course. But yeah, it could
be. It's close. It's definitely close. Most people
think that Jason X is the worst, but I disagree
with that. I think Jason X is one of the best
kills by far with the liquid nitrogen. That's
actually one of my favorites of the series. Yes.
It's definitely goofy, but I don't think Jason
X is that bad. A lot of people were saying Jason
5 or Friday the 13th 5, which was the new beginning.
Yeah. Because Jason wasn't actually the bad guy.
Right. Right. It's not as off course as Halloween
3. Okay. But I do love Halloween 3. Yeah, it's
not as off course as that, but yeah, I could
see that too. Yeah. These are not epic film.
I don't know what the word I'm looking for here.
These aren't masterpieces, but they're fun. Honestly,
even saying these, I'm just like, even Jason
Goes to Hell, which I think is the worst, I still
would watch it because it does have its fun moments.
It does. And Jason Goes to Hell has that little
ending. with uh the nod to freddy krueger so
yes right yeah and then of course freddy versus
jason happens and right so let's talk about jason
takes manhattan um movie rooted in the 80s oh
yes everything about it screams 80s to me like
right off the bat absolutely absolutely it was
it came out in july of 1989 It's a culmination
of everything 80s and everything New York City,
as I described it to my wife yesterday, New York
City pre -Giuliani when New York City was a fun,
terrifying, crime -ridden heckhole. There's a
million gangbangers on the street. There's toxic
waste, graffiti everywhere. All of that good
stuff. Punks with boom boxes roaming the streets.
But of course, I mean, like, because this is
Jason Takes Manhattan, the first hour has to
be on a boat to Manhattan. Right. I think the
first two thirds of the movie aren't even in
Manhattan. And according to what I've... researched
about and yes i did research a little bit about
this movie no i were kind of you got me beat
on this one like i'm looking it up going i did
no research there there were two dueling scripts
for this movie apparently one of them uh before
they even had the idea to go to manhattan one
of them was supposed to take place on a cruise
ship completely from beginning to end and then
the other was um an epic in manhattan which is
supposed to start end and have the entire movie
in manhattan there were supposed to be scenes
um all throughout new york uh involving broadway
plays involving taxi rides involving jason climbing
to the top of um the statue of liberty and diving
off into the water there were all sorts of things
that were supposed to be happening the boxing
scene yes yeah the boxing scene um in manhattan
on the top of the building was supposed to actually
take place in madison square garden during an
actual boxing match um but the studio killed
it all because they had no money to do that in
manhattan so that's that's how this came about
we got robbed of an absolute gem of a film i
think we did Well, and especially like they kept
referencing climbing to the top of the Statue
of Liberty, and now it all makes sense where
I'm going, oh, duh. Yes, they talked about it.
Yeah, they talked about how many floors it is
to the top, how many steps to the top of the
Statue of Liberty. Yeah, it's prominent in there.
And yeah, they had some ideas that they never
came to fruition. Right. Yeah, so we got a mix
of those scripts where we've got an hour on a
boat and 40 minutes in Manhattan. I don't hate
that it's on the boat for the first part. I don't.
No. No, it works. Yeah. It works. Although, now
you're talking about a bunch of kids, high school
kids, you're presuming are from New Jersey. Yes.
Getting on this boat, a Panamanian freighter,
that has been... I don't know, dolled up to look
like some sort of cruise ship that, that high
school, that is high school class would take.
Right. To Manhattan. Yes. Including steam room,
dance floor. Right. Right. Yes. And that, that's,
that's another thing. The, the dance, the dance
floor, that whole dance floor set was another
thing that was supposed to be in a disco in Manhattan.
Okay. That makes sense. Which kind of makes sense.
But yeah, that ship is crazy. Not only do we
get a ship, we get an admiral. Yes. That's running
the ship. Where did this guy come from? And it's
Admiral Robertson. I couldn't remember his name.
But it also is Admiral Robertson and his son,
Sean. And his son, Sean, who's supposed to take
over the ship. Yes. But forgot to toot the horn
before they left. So he got. He got angry. I
just, I don't get why he was so angry. Like,
I guess he just needed to go find Rennie to establish,
hey, these are our two main characters. Good
luck. Right. Right, exactly. And then, of course,
he was, the Admiral was decked out in, he had
this full Admiral uniform with a chest full of
medals. Yep. To take this Panamanian freighter.
From the coast of New Jersey, we assume. We assume.
Even though it was filmed in Vancouver. Yes.
To New York City. Oh, my gosh. That's the easiest
way to get from New Jersey to Manhattan, obviously.
A cruise. Yeah. And a Panamanian freighter. I
love how you keep referring to it as Panamanian
freighter. Because it's completely true, but
it just keeps making me laugh every time we say
it. Yeah. Yeah, and it came with the Deckhand,
who I don't even know if he had a name. Deckhand,
that is what he is on IMDb. Like Crazy Ralph
in the first Friday the 13th, riding around on
his little bicycle saying, you're all doomed.
This guy was walking around with his mop on the
ship saying, you're all doomed. So we had a return
of Crazy Ralph. um i also find it funny that
he said he saw jason climb on the board on the
boat and i'm like so you just let it happen didn't
do anything about it didn't alert anybody just
you saw him climbing on and you're just like
you're all doomed yes yeah of course but nobody
believes him because he's the crazy decking yes
exactly yeah um We also have, just to establish
some of the main characters as well, is Uncle
Charles, who is the uncle of Rennie. Yes. I think
is the school principal. I don't know if they
ever established that. He definitely works for
the school, but he's just like the hard ass.
Yeah. Right, right. And he was Peter Richmond,
I think his name was. He was like the bad guy,
the jerky teacher in every half -assed... uh
sitcom and and movie of the 80s he was he was
the jerk that was always coming down hard on
the kids yeah um which he still is yes yes at
some point he does say um young lady i'm your
teacher doesn't necessarily say he's the principal
but what i mean why would he randomly be on this
boat with these these kids right and i don't
i don't get why i mean obviously they need a
chaperone but yeah Well, and that's my thing
is like I get chaperoning, but he definitely
never shows any like care for the kids. And it
wasn't like Rennie was supposed to be on the
boat in the first place. Like I thought, oh,
maybe if Rennie was supposed to be on the boat,
he'd be there. Nope. He's just there. He's just
chaperoning. He's there to make sure that the
one girl gets her science project in her biology
assignments. Her biology assignment. And of course,
when's the best time to collect a biology assignment
is. On a Panamanian freighter on your way to
Manhattan. Two days before your graduation on
Friday the 13th. Yes. Well, you didn't turn in
your biology final, so you better have it when
we get on the boat. I'll tell you that much.
Yep, exactly. We also have Colleen, who's like
the teacher that cares for Rennie and convinces
her to go on this boat. And the reason we learn
is Renny is afraid of swimming. She doesn't like
water. These are just the main characters I want
to get into because there's plenty of cannon
fodder that, well, we should also talk about,
sorry, Julius, because Julius is part of our
favorite scene. Who's the stereotypical leader
of the jocks. He is a boxer. These are the important
details that you need. Everybody else is kind
of just there to die. Right, right. And I'm not
sure exactly how old Julius was when they filmed
this movie, but he looked to be about 35. And
one hell of a boxer. Yeah, right. I think you're
young on that one. Yeah, I could be. I'm trying
to look up personal details to see how old he
is, and it doesn't have it on his IMDb page.
So we don't know how old he is. We just know
he's known for Friday the 13th, Jason Takes Manhattan,
Eastwick in 2009, and South Central in 1992.
There aren't a lot of actors in this movie that
went on to other things. No, there is not. The
only one that really went on to things that I
actually knew was Kelly Hugh. She's in one of
my favorite bad movies of all time called The
Tournament. Okay. She's also in The Scorpion
King, but that just makes me laugh. The Tournament,
not to go down the rabbit hole here, but The
Tournament is basically like these people hire
these assassins to compete in a tournament killing
each other. It's 30 assassins, 24 hours. If you've
not seen it, I got it for $2 .99 from a closing
blockbuster, and it is so worth it because I
watch it at least once a year. I was going to
say it doesn't sound terrible, but sure. It's
got a terrible rating, so I say it's a bad movie,
but honestly, it's one of my favorites. I actually
really enjoy it. It also has Ving Rhames, and
who doesn't love good Ving Rhames? Exactly. Ving
Rhames is fantastic. Oh, I love Ving Rhames.
But enough about that. Yeah. So the rest of these
characters are here as cannon fodder pretty much.
And we've got some creative deaths. I'm leaving
out the main one that we've already kind of hinted
at because I know that's your favorite. Yes.
What would you say is your favorite kill in this?
So whether it be ridiculous or real, what do
you think is your favorite? My favorite is definitely
Julius. Yes. So we establish in the beginning
of the movie that Julius is one hell of a boxer.
And so as things progress and the ones that make
it to Manhattan alive get chased into various
sections, Julius ends up on a roof with Jason.
And decides he's going to box his way out of
it. Now, during the scene, Julius was actually
an amateur boxer in real life. And he was, Kane
Hodder had so much padding on him. And of course,
he had the hockey mask on that. Julius was actually
punching him. He was actually hitting him and
punching him. He punches him for a good two,
two and a half, three minutes until he's exhausted
and his knuckles are bloody and he's had enough
and he's exhausted. And Jason grabs him by the
collar and with one punch knocks his head off.
It flies off the roof, rolls down the side of
the roof, goes right into a dumpster and automatically
the dumpster lid slams shut. on his head kind
of kind of like uh you know you almost expect
the uh uh the womp womp music after the head
goes in the dumpster it's it's actually one of
my favorite kills of all the friday the 13th
because it was just it was just ridiculous i
think i completely forgot about it because it's
been a long time since i've seen man uh manhattan
and i completely forgot about that and then you
You text me because I sent you a picture of when
I started the movie and you were at that scene
and you go, oh, we're almost at the boxing scene.
I'm like, I completely forgot that was in this
movie. And I was just so excited to get there.
It's great. And I do remember back in it would
have been 89 back seeing this in the movies.
And kind of a cheer coming up from the audience
when that happened. So yeah, it was definitely
a memorable scene. This movie, especially after
you get off the boat, does kind of become you're
rooting for Jason almost. And it's not on purpose.
I don't think any of the characters make it so
bad that you're cheering against them. But you
just kind of like everything he does in New York
and just kind of, okay, he saved Rennie from
rapists. Right. had one of the best kills with
the boxing scene basically didn't he does walk
around kind of he kind of walks around acting
like uh he's got a little comic relief going
when uh he first crawls out of the water yeah
and sees uh sees a billboard for the east coast
hockey league yes um of the guy in the hockey
mask and he kind of uh he looks at it he kind
of turns his head like a puppy kind of curious
as to what he's seeing here He does it again
when he first sees Times Square. But yeah, he's
got a little comic relief going. A little softer
side to it. He smashes the boombox. He throws
the big short order cook. Like everything he
does, I'm just kind of like, all right, Jason,
you go. Like he never really messes with anybody
besides the people that were on the boat. But
he breaks the boombox is the best. Yeah, that's
a good one. And yeah, he breaks the boombox and
then takes off. his mask to uh to scare the hell
out of the uh the kids with the mask so yes um
the death i would say for me that was besides
the boxing scene because the boxing scene is
definitely my favorite it's just the ridiculous
nature of it that on this boat there was the
sauna and jason grabs one of the hot rocks and
just shoves it through this kid That was the
one that... Oh, it got me. That one broke me.
I also thought he was going to kill Eva by slamming
her through the disco ball on the dance floor.
I was a little sad that she just got choked out.
Yeah, it seemed like a lot. That scene seemed
like a lot for her just ending up getting choked
out when, like you said, she could have been
hung by the disco ball and been twirling around
and around. Yeah, right, exactly. That's what
I was expecting from this movie with this level
of camp and cheese and everything like that.
I was kind of hoping for that, but yes. I'm trying
to think. Yeah, I kept it. You mentioned. Oh,
yeah. You mentioned the big guy from the diner.
Yes. Who Jason picks up and tosses into the mirror.
Yes. That guy. uh ken kerzinger was his name
okay and he actually he he actually played jason
in freddie versus jason two movies later oh really
yeah and like i liked how he got up too and he
was like he was definitely like you see him he's
big dude he's intimidating and everything like
that and jason's actually this is one of the
few times jason's actually smaller than someone
And he still throws them across the room. Right,
right. Showing Jason's strength. And can we go
back to one thing that we talked about before?
When you start, when you get to Manhattan, you
start rooting for Jason. Yeah. Because he saves
Renny from the would -be rapist. Yes. There's,
I kept kind of thinking to myself, Renny spends
the... last two thirds of this movie high on
heroin because they did, they did inject her
up before they were about to assault her. And
now she's walking around on heroin. I wonder
if she, you know, she went on to think that maybe
it was all just a dream. Maybe she was riding
that white pony. Like she was, she was going,
I did think about that. Yeah. I did think about
that. Cause they did get the needle in her and
they did push the plunger. Like it was, it was
empty. it was it was yeah and then the syringe
got jabbed into the first gangbanger right exactly
I did keep track of how many people died in this
17 people died in this movie I well so I was
keeping yeah I was keeping track of that mostly
because I was thinking of the first one And I
don't think it was anywhere near that number.
And so this one definitely dialed up a little
bit. Obviously it's number seven in the series.
Seven, eight, seven, eight, eight. I can't count.
I do. I do make that mistake a lot myself. I
don't know why I, for years I thought it was
seven, but yeah, that's eight. Okay. Well, I
was just thinking like from the humble beginnings
of, Probably what? Six, seven people died. Now
we're up to 17. Yes. Not bad. Not bad. It was,
it, it was, yeah, there was, there was, there
was quite a few. There's gotta be a list somewhere,
somewhere of how many kills, what has the most
kills. Yeah. oh i'm sure there is although okay
so according to this i only have the first five
here but jason goes to hell the final friday
is 25 okay ready versus jason at 22 jason exit
21 uh a new beginning at 19 part 6 at 18 so this
is this might be around the mid level of number
of kills in in each movie so it looks it looks
like it's around mid yeah okay did you find that
screen rant is that what it was Uh, yes. Yes.
I was just looking at myself. Um, I do also want
to talk about, so we talked a lot about toxic
waste, just everywhere, including that. He just
throws Charles into a vat of toxic waste. That's
just on the street, but the, yes, yes. Foreshadowing.
There was foreshadowing in the beginning of the
movie. There was foreshadowing. There was foreshadowing.
When somebody randomly gets mugged, they take
his wallet and take the money out and then toss
his empty wallet into this vat of toxic waste.
And then out pops the most adorable little rat
you've ever seen in your life. I missed that
part. I actually wasn't, I guess I didn't see
that part. We're talking about how this is a
big deal, this toxic waste in New York. And the
thing that gets me is the sewers. So our heroes
end up in the sewers being chased by Jason. And
it's 10 minutes to midnight. And there just happens
to be like a friendly neighborhood guy. He's
got his wrench. He's working on a pipes or something
like that. And he's. I'll show you how to get
out of here. This is perfect timing because at
midnight, the sewers flood with toxic waste.
Yes. Ed Norton is now in the sewers saving them
from this toxic waste every night at midnight.
Every night. The sewer fills with toxic waste.
That was my thing. I don't remember. When I watched
this movie in 1989, I do not remember being surprised
by the fact. that this was happening right yeah
well and that was the thing too is i'm sitting
there going this guy knows that it floods with
toxic waste he's still there 10 minutes before
midnight like what the hell's wrong with you
dude he's cutting it close although you know
a man probably knows his job so maybe he maybe
does it every night but yeah that's that's a
little close yeah exactly especially in a time
without I mean, it comes in like it's the Poseidon
Adventure. All this massive quantities of toxic
waste running through the storm system or the
sewer system. The blood comes out of the shining
elevator. Yes, that's exactly what happened.
Obviously, it gets rid of Jason for at least
a little bit. But yeah, this movie. And Jason's
unmasked in this movie. Once again, by the, I
don't recall if it's by the toxic waste flood,
but whatever it is, his mask is off and his face
is melting off. Yes. I was actually thinking
it like melted onto his face almost, but yes,
it was melting. Definitely. Yeah. I couldn't
exactly tell, but yes, definitely. he was unmasked
at least twice where you actually saw his face
yes it was not pretty and and another interesting
fact i don't know if i got this from imdb or
somewhere else but uh as uh jason is quote unquote
dying in the toxic waste he throws up all this
toxic waste that he's been ingesting um in this
one scene and apparently Kane Hodder actually
drank an entire gallon of water right before
the scene and actually puked water out. So that's
actually him throwing up water. It was not an
effect. I don't know why he did that. We don't
need to method act this toxic waste being puked
up. But yeah, apparently that's real. Good for
Kane Hodder. He knew his character. He knew what
he needed to do. He knew exactly what that's.
That's why he's the most famous Jason. That's
why. yeah exactly exactly right uh um we didn't
even talk about why charles i think deserved
to die in the first place he was the one that
threw renny in the water and she relived that
trauma of why she was scared of the water and
everything because jason was pulling her down
because right yeah that's the whole connection
to camp crystal lake they've Went to Camp Crystal
Lake and basically he was, if you don't learn
how to swim, Jason's going to bring you down
and throws her into the water. Asshole father
of the year. Terribly mean. Yeah. Like he wasn't
her real father, but. Yeah, right, right. He
was her guardian. Uncle Charles, yes. Yes, Uncle
Charles. What happened to her parents? They died
in a car crash or something. I think so, yeah.
Yes, he was the guardian. Yeah. Yeah, we we kind
of. Yes. And I guess that that may have been
the heroin induced memory that she got from staring
into the. I can only assume was a puddle of toxic
waste on fire. Yes. Which which kind of. morphed
into crystal lake and then that's when she had
her memory of being thrown into the crystal lake
my uncle charles yes yeah it just kind of flooded
back on her uh yes i did mean that pun uh but
yes i i do think you're right about that has
to be toxic waste because it was just everywhere
so it had to be toxic waste on fire um which
That whole scene, how that came to be in the
first place and how they were in like the back
of the police car and the policeman gets killed
by Jason. And then she drives and somehow Jason's
in front of them, drives through Jason and then
hits a fence just because like you had a car.
Yes. If you know how to drive, there's a break.
You could have used it, but. That doesn't help
the plot. No, it doesn't help the plot. We need
to learn why Uncle Charles is the way he is and
why Rennie's scared of water. And there's a very,
very short few lines by the cop. And when Corinne
and I were watching this movie, she noticed something
that I didn't. And this would be this police
officer's terrible Irish accent. Now, I guess
if you're in New York, you're going to have an
Irish cop. And then I did look on IMDb, and he's
listed as Irish cop. Irish cop, represent. You
got your Clancy Wiggum in there as the Irish
cop. Yeah, I didn't notice that until Drew pointed
it out to me. It's funny, you just said Clancy
Wiggum, and the first thought that always pops
into my head with Chief Wiggum is the B -Sharps
episode where he gets kicked out of it, and he's
re -auditioning as Dr. Doolittle. Dr. Doolittle's
really Chief Wiggum. Oh, this bird's got to fly.
He runs to the window. That's fantastic. That's
every single time I think of Chief Wiggum. So
Irish cop. Yes. The few lines before he dies.
And it's I don't know why they made him. I mean,
I guess we have to say it's New York City. And
of course, I know I know a lot of New York City
police officers and they are all Irish. So, you
know, maybe they're not far off, but they're
usually good Irish accents, not this guy. Right.
I want to look up his name because I want to
see if he's actually Irish. They're not hiding
their lucky charms. Roger Barnes is his name.
It could be. I mean, yeah, maybe. He's had a
good career of playing cops, pretty much. He's
been in a lot of things as cop number three.
Yeah. Financial cop. coach okay he was a coach
at one point but coach okay that works yeah agent
smith um oh that movie's millennium or it's tv
series sorry tv series millennium from the 90s
yeah uh cop number two there we go another one
officer number two cop number four yeah he was
also in 21 jump street Just in case you were
curious. The TV show, not the movie. Oh, wow.
Okay. Yeah. Irish cop. Great. He's got a great
career playing a cop. Irish, I don't know about
that. He's got to work on that accent, I think.
Yeah, I think so, too. I'm trying to think what
else to talk about with this movie. You know,
I think we might need to go back a little bit,
back to On the Boat. Because one of the things
that, number one, you have, I don't recall her
name, but the girl with the flying V guitar who
couldn't wait. Yeah, she could not wait to film
a music video in the bowels of the ship. Yes,
with Wayne, her nerd friend. Wayne, her nerd
friend. And Wayne is not. in love with her. Wayne's
in love with the other girl. Tamara? Tamara?
Is that Tamara? Tamara? I don't remember how
you pronounce it. Yeah. Yeah, the biology girl.
Biology girl. And let's talk about that for a
second. I can't imagine what her biology project
was supposed to be. I'm sure it was something
very complicated and I'm sure it was not supposed
to be. body parts drawn all across her so that
she eventually decides to strip down to her underwear
and try to romance Uncle Charles into giving
her a good grade. I suppose that was the point.
Man, that was uncomfortable. Yeah, it was. It
was very uncomfortable. When she did strip down,
though, so she had marked all of her body parts
and everything like that for her biology project.
Did you see anything wrong with it? I'm wondering
if I'm the only one who caught anything. I don't
think I looked that hard, but it didn't. I mean,
nothing really looked right. Yeah. Stomach. I
have to go back and look again. Stomach was spelled
S -T -O -M -A -C -K. And originally I was like,
no. No, they did not. No, because it's... Oh,
my. I rewinded the 10 seconds. Nope, it's there.
Stomach. See, now you're just going to get a
failing grade. It doesn't matter what happens
after that. Even if Uncle Charles was enjoying
what he was going through, you can't spell stomach.
I mean, you got to fail no matter what, right?
I see two Ds and an F. yeah yeah Tamara making
the moves on Uncle Charles and of course getting
Wayne the hopelessly in love videographer to
come in and film what's going on and yeah maybe
that was her master plan was to film her and
Uncle Charles, as Tim Curry once said, doing
whatever they weren't supposed to be doing. I
suppose that was her biology final. Uncle Charles
never made it, neither did she. No, that's true.
It didn't matter. She got stabbed in the stomach.
I also love how Wayne comes in and is just like,
after that whole scene, Uncle Charles leaves
and he's just like, I have had the major hots
for you. Right. That's a phrase. Oh, well, I
like you as a friend and thanks for helping me.
Set up Uncle Charles, and I'll just take that
tape and slam the door in your face. Yeah, exactly.
Not nice. And then, of course, the first thought
he has is, what about this other girl I left
on the hook, JJ? Let's go find her. Let's go
back down to the balls of the ship and see if
the girl with the flying V might be my friend.
Yep, exactly. Yeah, that was a very pretty guitar
that she never played correctly as well. But,
you know, you have to fake it until you make
it. Absolutely. um yeah but she she had whatever
she had uh with that guitar her whole portable
speaker system um yeah didn't need any power
didn't need to be plugged in anywhere just turn
it on and and go to town it was it was fantastic
when she played the music on the side i was like
okay she's got it on like a tape recorder or
something like that fine but then she had like
an amp out of nowhere and like she all of a sudden
these chords are everywhere and i'm like That
took you no time. You literally just said, wow,
this is a great place for a music video. Just
set it right up wherever. And yeah, the new Ronco
77 automatic guitar. Don't you know it Bluetooth
now? Exactly. Nobody could have imagined back
in good old 1989, the Bluetooth. You know, speaking
of 1989. Something I read about this movie yesterday.
Okay. And I'm not sure if I believe it or not,
but it says that it was, it was filmed entirely
in April of 1989 and then released in July of
1989, which seems quick. That's very quick. I
mean, um, yeah, I don't know. Cause I, part of
me is like, yeah, that, that seems very quick,
but part of me is also like all of New York was
a soundstage. It felt like, so, yes for the most
part anyway all of the well all of the um with
the except let's see with the exception of the
shots um in the river with okay the statue of
liberty okay and probably times square i'm square
yeah i'm square was all real everything else
was in vancouver so all the alley scenes all
the city scenes everything and um the when the
ship left uh new jersey you can see in the background
the the wonderful beautiful mountains of vancouver
and you're thinking yourself that looks exactly
like new jersey of course they're leaving new
jersey right after you watch the movie corinne
goes and told me this and was just like that's
obviously vancouver you would know that she was
telling me that's what happens when you when
you read too much about a movie before you watch
the movie you should just let it be and keep
your suspension of disbelief and just just go
with it yeah just go with the that was animating
freighter turned into the most beautiful most
beautiful cruise ship with the sauna and i can't
get over the sauna i can't yeah the sauna the
sauna was nice yeah i mean it was way too big
and here's the other thing how many people are
in this graduating class um nine yeah right it's
just the whole class trip because there wasn't
there weren't a lot of people on this boat no
there was not um yeah i'm with you on that because
i mean seven people i think got on the boat and
two of those were uh no more than that more than
that um But at most, probably like 10 people
got on the boat. And that was everybody except
for our main four or five. Five with Julius.
Yeah, I forgot. I keep forgetting Julius. I remember
the core four because they introduced him and
they're like, this is basically going to be who
your four are. And then Julius, I thought, was
going to get it on the boat. And then I remember
the boxing scene and was like, oh, yeah, no,
he actually gets through. Right. Realistically,
they could have rented a pontoon. Yeah. And got
a cooler and been fine. Yep. But they need to
travel in style to New York. They apparently
live in New Jersey, but this is going to be like
their first trip to New York ever. I'm just thinking
back to the days when I lived in the Northeast,
how many hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
limo companies there are up there that had these
big, giant, fancy buses that they could have
taken from New Jersey to Manhattan. Well, now,
especially. I mean, obviously this is 1989, so
who knows, but you could have taken a Hummer,
a Hummer limo, had a great time or just a party
bus. Just get a party bus. Just a party. You
can, you know what? They could have gotten a
school bus. Yeah. Spending this much money on
a senior trip for every year. Yeah. Yeah. Man.
our volleyball coach was our school bus driver
like he this this is how cheap we were we were
just like okay cool you get a school bus that's
driven by our volleyball coach that also coaches
and it's like just one person that's it you don't
need to pay two people but that's beautiful yeah
that's what it is oh man i also love the use
of spear guns and spears There's multiple of
those. Oh, there was one thing. The other boat
in the beginning where the two first people that
show up. That are having sex in a horror movie.
Yes. Terrible. How dare you. He scares her with
a Jason mask. Like this was a plan all along
that they were going to go over by there. And
she's mad at him for all of like 20 seconds and
then forgives him. I want to know who's driving
the boat to begin with. Because they're downstairs.
They're making out. The boat is just going along.
And he stops in the middle and says, you know
what? I better go upstairs and throw down the
anchor because obviously they're going somewhere.
Yeah, they're just floating down the river. The
anchor is the key to the entire waking up Jason
with the electricity. Yes, the underwater electric
thing that just gets hit a couple times by an
anchor and it breaks and electrocutes the ocean.
Right. And Jason, of course. Of course. Jason
spent so much time in the water. Obviously, drowned
in the water. He spent time in the water. This
is the most squishy Jason has ever been when
he's come out of the water. He's very squishy
and slimy and gross. You just want him to dry
off a little bit. You'd think all these weapons
and things would be slipping out of his hands.
He's just a little too mushy in this one for
my taste. A little too mushy. For those of you
at home that hate this word, a little moist.
A little moist. He's moistacular. Oh, my God.
I got a little Manhattan in the nose there. I'm
trying to think of all those moist puns from
Letterkenny, and I can't think of any of them
right now. But if I could think of them, I'd
be. Rattling them off. Yes. It doesn't shock
me that you watch Letter County, by the way.
Of course. Not a bad thing at all. It was just,
yeah, you hit me as that kind of person. Yeah.
Yep. All right. What would you rate this sucker?
Okay. I would have to... Putting it up against
all the other... Friday the 13th movies. I'm
not going to give it a terrible rating. I'm going
to give it two and a half 55 gallon drums of
toxic waste out of five. You took my measure.
That's the second time that's happened. I know.
Toxic waste was just the easy one. Drums of toxic
waste, yeah. Well, so. This is going to come
across as harsh, but really this is actually
pretty good for a bad movie for me. 1 .5 out
of 5, Sauna Rocks. Sauna Rocks, there you go.
I had a backup this time, ready, just in case.
That works. That's what happens when you let
me go first. Yeah, well, guests always first.
Especially guests that chose the movie. That's
true. Especially compared to the other two that
I've watched this month already. This is by far
the highest. Gotcha. What else did you watch?
The Silence on Netflix starring Stanley Tucci
and Kiernan Shipka. Oh my goodness. Okay. That
got the old Mitchell Zero, which is 0 .5 out
of 5. Okay. We call it the Mitchell Zero because
our buddy Mitchell, he can't give a movie a zero
because you made a movie and that's really hard
to do. I definitely respect that. I understand
that it's very difficult to give something a
zero. But I don't mind giving zeros. And that's
why the other one, which the episode hasn't released
yet. It's Urban Legends Bloody Mary. We watched
that and I got the group together to watch it.
And I gave that a zero. Yeah, I can see that.
Wow. That was terrible. That is going to release.
Sometime next week. Originally, I was going to
release it Tuesday. Fell behind. I was like,
I'm not going to release it this close to Friday
the 13th because Friday the 13th has its own
special, you know? Yes. So this one's that one's
going to release next week. So it just has a
little breathing room. So technically already
recorded already in the can, but it's going to
release next week just to have a little breathing
room. Yeah. Five bad movies this month. Bad horror
movies. It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful
thing. At least bad horror movies sometimes are
fun. Yes. Yeah. Bad horror movies are so much
better than bad other movies. Yes. Agreed. Yeah.
The silence was a bad, a quiet place is what
I call it. Yeah. The main problem I had with
it is they, they do sign language, but they also
whisper their words. Oh, that's not annoying
at all. Exactly. I was fully prepared. I'm like,
I've seen A Quiet Place. I'm okay with reading
the bottom line. That's fine. Because that's
fine. That's all I want to do. And they kept
whispering what they're doing at the same time.
Dude, come on. It also was unintentionally hysterical.
Stanley Tucci had one of the best plans. His
family's getting attacked by these bird bat things
that are the main villains. He turns on a wood
chipper. And they all follow the noise and fly
straight into it. And it's like, it's a great
idea. Like it works in this world, but it's just
hysterical when it happens. They just, they're
just drawn to the, the dulcet tones of the wood
chipper. Yes, exactly. And they just get spit
out. It's hysterical, but yeah. Yeah. So that's
the silence too. But yeah. So. Three out of five
are done and recorded. Two more to go. Love it.
I'll send you a message when I'm doing those
other ones because I've figured out my schedule
for the entire month. Awesome. That'll do it
for Jason Takes Manhattan. Any more thoughts
about it that you want to conclude with? Like
I said, I always, whenever we talk, I always
age myself saying these things. But I do remember
seeing this in the theaters in 1989. And it was
a different experience seeing it now than back
then. Because all those ridiculous things about
New York City that you see in it now weren't
ridiculous back then. It didn't seem like the
perception of what New York City was back then.
was was way different than it is now my only
question though were there a million couches
on every street and every dead end alley you
know i don't i honestly i don't remember okay
what i liken it to is the new york city scenes
from night court because night court was it was
the same kind of era yeah and i mean there were
not there weren't a whole lot of like outer scenes
and like yeah but it was just that new york city
back then it was just trash you know there was
just garbage everywhere and you know random just
nonsense everywhere and it wasn't i don't remember
it being anything like like terrible but yeah
it was new york city it was dirty yeah like david
like david letterman said back in the day when
it rained new york city used to make its own
soup and uh not a good way oh no that sounds
miserable yeah the only thing i was thinking
was the couches there was a million couches other
than that i actually like toxic waste yeah okay
there there was a lot of toxic waste but um like
the graffiti and stuff didn't bother me because
i actually thought like in the 80s there'd be
graffiti that's just absolutely yeah that was
a thing that was i mean that still is a thing
certain places but now it's a street art um Right.
Yeah. Yeah. I had one more thought and I can't
remember where it went. It was about the couches
pretty much, but. Well, I mean, homeless people
like to be comfortable. Yeah. We can't give you
a place to live. Here's a couch. There's a pair
went on this. Exactly. Exactly. All right. You
know what? Yeah. Yeah. going in that area the
amount of shredded paper in these movies that
the picture is ridiculous how i mean so whoever's
in charge of the garbage for the movies it's
like let's just take an entire truckload of shredded
paper and just throw it everywhere because that's
that's garbage yeah that won't catch on fire
when the toxic waste cuts on fire maybe you'd
clean it up a little burn all the but yeah that's
all ending on a bad note so yeah yeah um now
i'm gonna go watch uh jason goes to hell there
you go yeah i actually thought about hitting
uh jason five everybody's telling me how bad
it was and i'm like i haven't watched that one
forever like literally anything besides the original
and freddie versus jason i watched last year
but all of the rest of them i've kind of not
watched in a while so i kind of forget um this
one feels a little more like i need to do it
last year i usually have a theme for october's
when i watch in scary movies last year was um
big names and so it was um no i can't remember
exactly what it was but for whatever reason freddie
versus jason fit into it and So I rewatched Freddy
vs. Jason and still as cheesy and dumb as ever
and makes it fun to watch. Yeah. Yeah. I think
my favorite probably, I don't know, favorite.
I mean, I don't know. They all have their merits,
I suppose. I think my favorite might be Friday
the 13th 2. Only because I know it was filmed
in New Preston, Connecticut. And when I found
that out back in the late 80s, I went exploring
in New Preston trying to find where the lake
was, where the casino bar was, all the locations.
Because the casino bar was an actual thing. But
by the time I went looking for it, it wasn't
there anymore. But yeah, they spent a lot of
time in that bar in number two. Yeah, they do.
Yeah. I do remember the bar. I don't remember
a lot of number two, but I do remember the bar.
Yeah. Yeah. And of course, this is a good time
to bring up that a lot of people don't realize
that Jason didn't wear a hockey mask until halfway
through part three. Yes. Yes. Definitely needs
to be reminded of that because yeah. Somebody
was trying to get me to watch the remake as well.
And I just can't, I can't do it. I just thought
of that now that you say that because there's
a part where he finds the hockey mask. Yeah.
Part three, or I'm sorry, the, the remake. It
wasn't terrible, but Jason's a lot faster. Yeah.
And I think. From the new, like the new zombies
that run. Yep. That's what it reminded me of.
Yep. Zack Snyder's army of the dead zombies.
Yeah. The World War Z's on these. Yeah. Yes.
Good call. All right. Well, that'll do it for
a game for a movie podcast where we ask for,
are you game for a movie? I've been your host,
Mike. I've been joined by Jim. We'll see you
next time on game for a movie podcast. The end.
Thank you, Mike. Mark. Thank you. I appreciate
Jim. Thanks man.
