Horror in the 2000s Vol. 5: Jason X & Halloween: Resurrection (with Morgan Maher)

Halloween weekend is finally upon us, which means our five week descent into Horror in the 2000s has come to a close. We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up our miniseries than by checking in on what two of Hollywood’s most prolific boogeymen were up to at the turn of the millennium. Actor Morgan Maher returns to the podcast to discuss 2001’s notoriously bad 10th installment in the “Friday the 13th” series, “Jason X” (a.k.a. the one where Jason goes to space), as well as “Halloween: Resurrection” starring Busta Rhymes, Tyra Banks with an elongated “special appearance” by Sean Patrick Thomas. Do these franchise black sheep live up to their reputation, or were critics just afraid to have a little fun in a post-9/11 horror world? Is “Jason X” a real movie or just a fan-fic fever dream? Why does everyone in 2455 dress in low cut jeans, red denim cowboy hats and “titty sweaters”? Did Busta Rhymes deserve a bigger acting career? Did “Dangertainment” rip off “Scare Tactics”? And most importantly: does Hollywood even make movies to get fingered to anymore? We answer all of your pressing questions with this fingerblasting double feature right here on your favorite podcast. “Jason X” is streaming on Peacock and “Halloween: Resurrection” is available to rent wherever you rent movies!
