We convened on the first of THREE Friday the 13ths in 2026 and decided to add another Jason film to our catalog. With over 20 deaths and very little gore, this installment was a shock to Jason fans. The direction the studio took the franchise in was nothing less than an 80s slasher scandal. There may be no more polarized film in the entire 45 years of the Friday legacy. You get the hockey mask and the Manfrendini music but why is this one of the most hated films of the era? Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Danny Steinmann's Friday the 13th Part V: A new Beginning
