S5, E7 - Freddy vs. Jason, Tourist Trap, Cut and Run

About this episode

The episode discusses three horror films: Freddy vs. Jason, Tourist Trap, and Cut and Run, analyzing their impact and quality.

This week we’re throwing three wildly different slashes of horror into the meat grinder. First up, the ultimate Friday night fever dream: Freddy vs. Jason. We finally settle the age-old debate of who would win in a fight while asking the much harder question — was this chaotic crossover actually any good, or just glorious ’00s nonsense with a body count? Then we head back to the late ’70s for the deeply unsettling Tourist Trap. Mannequins, telekinesis, and Chuck Connors doing his best impression of a deranged killer — it's equal parts creepy and completely unhinged. We discuss why it still gets under your skin decades later. Finally, we venture deep into the Amazon with Ruggero Deodato’s gory jungle sleaze-fest Cut and Run. Cannibals, drug cartels, and enough sleazy Italian exploitation energy to make you scream like Willie Aames. Enjoy!
