Welcome to Guilty Pleasures, where we dive headfirst into the cinematic abyss to uncover the hidden joys of films that are often maligned. This episode is a special treat as we celebrate Stephanie's birthday month with a double feature of epic proportions. Prepare yourself for a slasher showdown as we pit two infamous entries from horror's heavyweight franchises against each other: Halloween: Resurrection and Jason X.
In part one, we discuss Halloween: Resurrection, serving up a blend of early 2000s reality TV culture and slasher tropes, featuring the unforgettable showdown between Busta Rhymes and Michael Myers. In part two, we'll tackle Jason X — a film the catapults the iconic killer into the far reaches of space for a sci-fi horror spectacle that's out of this world.
Join us as we dissect the absurdity, the camp, and the unexpected charm of these films. Are they misunderstood masterpieces or just cinematic missteps? From the curious decisions that lead to Laurie's controversial fate to the space-age antics of Jason Voorhees, we leave no stone unturned in our quest to crown the ultimate guilty pleasure.
Will Stephanie's picks win over her skeptical co-hosts, or will they remain unconvinced? Tune in to find out!
