Gather Around the Campfire for Another ‘Friday the 13th’ Commentary Track [Halloweenies Podcast]
“It’s 7:01 on Friday the 13th of January! This is Big Justo, and it’s time for you lazy bones to get out of bed! It’s black cat day at Crystal Lake!” Curses be damned — sorry, Crazy Ralph, we ain’t listening — the Halloweenies have re-assembled at everyone’s favorite summer camp to record another feature-length commentary track on an essential horror classic.
This time around, it’s Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th. In celebration of this year’s wintry Friday the 13th, the gang has unlocked their 2021 commentary track for the 1980 blockbuster slasher. Join Justin Gerber, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Mike Vanderbilt as they dust off the diamond that tipped off one of the wildest horror franchises to date.
Stream the commentary below or via iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks when the gang sticks around Chicago to help Detective Mike Norris solve a string of murders in the wake of Charles Lee Ray’s death. You guessed it, they’re covering the Chucky franchise.
