Friday the 13th Part 5 vol 4 (w/ Alex Alexander redux

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Alex Alexander about the characters Ethel and Junior Hubbard from Friday the 13th Part 5, exploring various comedic and horror elements of the film.

On this week's redux episode of Kill By Kill, we've got a wild one for you! The hilarious writer/performer Alex Alexander is here to talk about Ethel & Junior Hubbard: the mother and son duo who put the “ick” in “Hicksploitation.” Along the way, we’re unpacking all the gory details behind this town’s serious enchilada importation problem, how NOT to use your kitchen as a marijuana grow house, the thorny issues of the “utensil-ly challenged,” and discovering how Friday the 13th Part 5 is exactly like a skunk hit by a bus. All this and a home-cooked version of Choose Your Own Deathventure… that Gena attempts to bail on as a protest over this terrible movie. She’s got a point.
