84 S.M.I.C. SuperShow Ep84_ The Friday the 13th Show!!!

About this episode

Mike and Cole discuss which single movie from the Friday the 13th franchise is the best introduction to Jason Voorhees.

On this episode of the SMIC Supershow, Mike and Cole head to Camp Crystal Lake to talk about one of horror’s most iconic slashers: Jason Voorhees. In honor of Friday the 13th, we tackle a deceptively simple question: If someone already knows who Jason is, but has never watched the series, which single movie would you show them to introduce them to the world of Friday the 13th? We each pick our one definitive entry from the long-running franchise and explain why it’s the perfect gateway into Jason’s bloody legacy—whether it’s the kills, the atmosphere, the camp counselors, or the hockey mask itself. If you’ve ever wondered where a newcomer should start with the franchise, or you just love debating the best entry in the series, this episode is for you. Grab your sleeping bag, avoid the woods, and join us for a killer conversation.
