As some of you may have noticed, despite being called "Slashers," our show did not do a proper slasher film in its entire first year. Now, we do two in a single episode! In this grand finale to our "New Year, 'New' Movies" event, we pit Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning against Part VII The New Blood. 
Doug argues that Part V, A New Beginning, is the penultimate, while Adam contends that Part VII, The New Blood, is actually superior. 
Jake acts as the mediator, with Adrienne being the jury. There are no ties here, goons! We have a decisive winner. 
Part V was directed by Danny Steinmann, who actually directed porn! The movie makes a lot more sense now, right? This movie is famous for having two depictions of Jason Voorhees, with the slasher never actually appearing in the film. There is a Voorhees in the film, albeit the actress Deborah Voorhees. 
Doug talks everything in this movie from the kill count to Roy Burns arguably being the best Jason in the Friday the 13th video game. 
Part VII was directed by John Carl Buechler, a sultan in the world of special effects, ranging from Troll to Re-Animator. This film pits the actual Jason against a drove of teenagers marching onward to doom like Lemmings if you forget to press pause AND JEAN GREY FROM X-MEN! (kinda). 
If that analogy is true, that makes Tina Shephard's "Charles Xavier," Dr. Crews, played by Terry Kiser. Despite over 100 acting credits to his name, you most assuredly know him best as the titular Bernie, from Weekend at Bernie's. *cue the now-redundant Bernie Sanders meme* And, to be fair, with our audience you might also remember him from Tammy and the T-Rex. 
Adam argues the effects, atmosphere, and debut of Kane Hodder.
Where do you stand on the debate? Did we get it right?
