In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca find out what happens when Elm Street takes you straight to Camp Crystal Lake with their discussion of the 2003 horror-comedy film Freddy vs. Jason. 
Episode Highlights: We talk about how this film tried--sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing--to meet the needs of two very disparate fan bases. We explored the ways that the film depicted Freddy and Jason as well as how the film navigated its various plot lines. And, unsurprisingly, Katherine and Anthony had slightly different opinions about whether this film was delightfully terrible or just plain old terrible.
A Dose of Scholarship: In this episode, we look at an entire dissertation dedicated solely to this film! If you are interested in thinking further about this film, we highly recommend that you check out Jason M. Rapelje's "Fabricating Freddy vs. Jason: Understanding a Motion Picture as a Social Encounter between Fans and Filmmakers," which he wrote for his PhD at Western Michigan University.
