Show Notes
Holy cow what an aggressively brutal episode, and also an artfully crafted one, with the juxtaposition between the mundanely suburban confines of Alexandria and the explosively violent attack from those big bad Wolves! Glad to have my friend Jonathan Bookallil here with me to talk it out.

Alright, here’s what all you Friday the 13th fans have been waiting for 🔪 You sickos.
It’s hammer time as the Pamela Voorhees we all know and fear starts to emerge. Also, Lee seems to be closing in on the truth about Pamela, and possible also on the origin of Jason? Join Nathan, Jayme, and I as we talk it out!
It’s the return of Pamela and Jason Voorhees! Get ready to… sympathize? This series is full of surprises, including a lot of dark humor, character drama, and even warmth. And of course, some gnarly gore. If you’re reading this and you haven’t watched it yet, give it a shot! I think if you liked The Walking Dead, a show that turned what’s usually straight-up horror into something with character and depth, then there’s a good chance you’ll get into this one too. For one thing, Linda Cardellini is fantastic as the newly multifaceted Pam Voorhees. And then join me, Jayme, and Nathan as we talk it out!
Halloween is in the air, and we’re breaking from the rewatch for the new Friday the 13th prequel series, Crystal Lake, premiering this Thursday, October 15, on Peacock. We’ve seen the first couple of episodes, and I think you’re gonna like it! It’s surprisingly fun, with some dark comedy, and the great Linda Cardellini putting in an incredible performance as Pamela Voorhees. Even if you don’t usually like slasher flicks, I recommend giving this one a shot. Like with The Walking Dead, this series is about the characters.
Could Negan be more of a total piece of s#!t that he is in this episode. Good thing it was an extra long one, in case we didn’t have our fill. I (Jason) actually did think it was a good episode. But it made me wish they could’ve wrapped up the Savior war right quick though. Lucy’s away this ep, and so I’m to be joined by Alex to talk this one out!
