Jason X (2001) - Jason Goes to Space And It's Actually Brilliant

This episode exists because I saw a review online that was so wrong about this film I had to do something about it. No names. No drama. Just a podcast episode defending Jason Voorhees in space for forty five minutes.This week I'm making the case that Jason X is not the embarrassment the Friday the 13th fanbase has been pretending it is for twenty four years. It knew exactly what it was. It committed completely. And it contains some of the most inventive kills in the entire franchise.Full history of where the Friday the 13th franchise was by 2001, full scene by scene breakdown, the stumbles, and the complete defence of why Jason X deserves better than the punchline it became.Plus Kane Hodder's most physical performance in the role, the greatest thirty seconds in horror history, and a very specific award for Professor Lowe's unexpected self discovery.Episode 13. Unlucky for some. Not for Jason.This Movie Deserves Better is a solo horror podcast championing the overlooked, the misunderstood, and the unfairly buried. Reviews and follows mean everything. Follow us on socials: @tmdbpodcast
