In this last bonus episode, Jordan and Stefan watch 13 Fanboy, the crowdfunded indie film starring multiple former Friday the 13th actors playing themselves – and Dee Wallace for some reason. While not a Jason movie, it features a killer who's stalking (and murdering) former actresses from the films. Also Corey Feldman is there as a creepy movie producer.

Evil gets an upgrade, so they say, but does sending Jason into space change the trajectory of the Friday the 13th franchise? Wait, why is Jason in space? Stefan and Jordan may have very different opinions on this one.

It's the beginning of the New Line era for Jason! And also the start of an incredibly confusing new mythology about bloodlines, demon babies, and contagious Jason-ness. Wait, why do we watch these movies again? This is a weird one.

At last, Stefan and Jordan reach the end of the classic Paramount run of films where Jason (sorta) takes Manhattan. Is the film that makes the least sense in the entire series?
