"It doesn't matter what your dreams are.... you're going to wind up dead." -Roger Ebert Thats why I watch RLM.

The reason for so many characters in the Final Chapter is probably because the filmmakers thought it would only be appropriate if Jason killed 13 people in the Final Chapter, which he does.

Not gonna lie. A door is perhaps the worst possible placement for a dartboard.

I love how Jay didn't want to waste color ink on his character chart. "Nah, this bit isn't worth it"

1:41 Ebert: "The world is a horrible place, it wants you dead" Caption: "THIS IS ALL TRUE" Yup, that's Jay's editing.

The funniest thing about "Hey Ted, where the hell's the corkscrew?!" Is Jason being played by Ted White

Gotta say, Josh & Jay have really great chemistry together. They like the same weird & obscure stuff & understand each other's references. They really play so well off each other.

Hate on Jason X all you want. That liquid nitrogen kill is a monumental achievement of film making

When Jay says TNG, I half-expected it to function as a summoning incantation for Mike to emerge suddenly from behind the curtains.

35 years later the world still has not caught up the artistic perfection of the Crispin Glover dance. One day humanity will mature and we will embrace it as the language of the universe.

as a teenager int he 80's, if S&E hated a movie, it usually meant i would enjoy the hell outta it...

Kid Corey jumping around and freaking out is absolutely how kids act lol

Seinfeld and Twin Peaks are Jay's "Star Trek and Ghost Adventures"

"So, what were you going to be when you grew up" Holy shit that is a golden cynical line for a child

I feel the reason that numbers 4 & 6 are the best is that they had enjoyable characters, not just bodies for the slaughter. It's more impressionable when you DON'T want to see everyone die.

That little girl with the Jean-Paul Sartre book feels like a Zucker Brothers gag.

"The initial penetration is off camera" Just another day on set at Redlettermedia

Jay's transition from human to show pony is nearly complete.

I love how the same guy who once said: "Nobody ever said art has to be in good taste" and wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is the one bashing Friday the 13th 4 for being just about gore and tits.

I like to think that when agent cooper is taken to the velvet room there’s a one percent chance that he just sees two dudes talking about old movies.

I love how Jay's chart of characters lists Crispin Glover's role as Crispin Glover.

Friday The 13th XIII: Jason Takes Money Plane

My middle school years were characterized by me and my mom staying up late at her apartment watching these movies and laughing our heads off. These movies may be crap, but they're entertaining as all hell and important to me.

The fact that the original Friday The 13th had a budget of like *$550.000,* and then would take in about *$60.000.000* in total around the world, is actually kind of insane if you think about it. It's no surprise that a cheap cash-in movie making revenue like that would be getting milked until it was dry, and then milked some more, and then even further.

Jason taught us the most important lesson: No ones ever really gone

Jay is looking like he's gonna try to convince me that brewing your own beer is a good idea

I've always said that the big 3 slashers (Jason, Michael Myers, Freddy) are essentially modernized reimagining of the Universal Big 3: Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman. Freddy is dracula, the seducer, the one that comes to you in your sleep. Jason is Frankenstein, the blunt instrument force of nature that won't stop. And Michael Myers is the Wolfman, the relentless evil within that ultimately erases their humanity. When you see them through that lens, all 3 franchises really snap into focus even with the worst of their sequels. But I WILL say in Friday's defense, it had more solid sequels than the other two franchises.

Can't believe they got Kurt Russell on as a guest!

Seeing Freddy Vs Jason opening night in a rowdy theater was like being at a boxing match.

This is probably the most "JAY" episode this format could ever have.

"Elaine, the shiksa is a myth much like the Yeti or his North American cousin the Sasquatch."

The supercut of people asking people's names made me laugh so hard.

Rich Evans is my favourite Jason. He is such a dedicated actor he did method acting for the part and murdered a camp full of teenagers!

Sounds like Roger Ebert reviewed Surviving Edged Weapons

I like how Jay is just committed to this haircut now.

The best part of this whole video is where Josh starts talking about the characters and Jay has to break out the chart so he can call them by name.

Glad we have audio of Jay saying “the initial penetration”

You need to make a Jason vs. Rich Evans movie, starring Rich Evans as Jason Vorhees, and Kane Hodder as Rich Evans.

Jay has gone from looking like the awkward kid who didn't want to dance at prom to a regular schlub to an attractive, clean cut hair model to the bass player of your favorite indie band. I can't wait until he starts graying so I can watch him go from looking like an unfortunate reminder of the inevitability of death to a rugged cougar to a wise old sage.

Black and white printouts on foam board. The quality I expect from RLM

"Crispin Glover is in his own world in this movie", isn't he always.

Remember when Gene Siskel threw such a piss fit about the first movie that he doxed Betsy Palmer and told people to write to her about how evil the movie was, and called the director "one of the most despicable creatures ever to infest the movie business"?

The montage of characters wandering around, who don’t know what happened to their friend. That’s good stuff

Crispin Glover was a gift we never deserved but got anyway.

Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel's pearl clutching really brings me back.

You know Jay's having a good time when he makes a chart.

the supercut at 35:45 is a thing of beauty

There’s nothing quite like RLM content between the months of October and December.

I like how the handy name chart has "Crispin Glover" instead of the characters name lol

every time i see that Siskel & Ebert clip i want to remind Roger Ebert that he wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

It's funny how Ebert calls something "trash' when his cinematic output was the "Award Winning Masterpiece" Beyond The Valley of The Dolls. A amateurish piece of garbage that existed only to show women with big jugs.

Jay really shines in this one: the chart, the editing, the Billie Eilish hair.

“Some people have a strange idea of entertainment”

Ebert's read on this film was so strange. Did anyone watch these movies and come out of them thinking "oh no, will I ever be able to achieve my future dreams?!"

Mike believes in ghosts and he doesn't care if everyone thinks he's a moron for it. In fact, he enjoys that

Wow, that friend calling for a friend montage super cut was everything that I needed

Jay with the green outline looks like he's auditioning for Chad joker

I appreciate how long it must have taken to compile that montage of characters calling out to other characters

In the Pacific North West extreme fog at night is definitely a common thing.

A note. "Horshack will not be able to attend class forever. Jason Voorhees." Signed Horshack's Mother.

"It's them damn enchiladas!" Rich Evans

I know "Pre:Rec" wasn't every RLM fan's cup of tea, but Rich and Jack played the Friday the 13th videogame a lot because they enjoyed it so much, and Jay joined in a few times. Check 'em out when you have time and need a fresh RLM "fix" between new content.

Jay rocking the Edgar Wright look

I really love them intercutting these Siskel and Ebert review of the film as they talk about it which I just love.

So happy to see Jay go through the effort of spending 50 cents on 9 black-and-white google pictures and a $1 poster board.

It's interesting to see David Spade discussing movies with Josh.

Jay lookin' like Kroger Brand 80's Kurt Russel.

Judging from Josh and Jay's fascination with editing, I would highly recommend a re:View of A History of Violence. David Cronenberg specifically went for the kind of momentary but highly focused editing style that Jay talked about.

You know, for the guy who wrote Valley of The Dolls, Roger Ebert sure did spend a lot of time bitching and moaning about violence and gore in the 1980s.

Jay mentioning Michael Haneke got me way more excited than it should have lol, but man I'd love a re:View of Funny Games or any of his work really.

I just love watching Crispin Glover dance so perfectly to the end credits of this video.

Josh and Mission: Impossible 2 Tom Cruise are right! These movies are great comfort food.

The reason that the word "final" appears in the title of a couple of the Friday the 13th movies is because the producers wanted all their fans to feel like they had some closure on the series before they died, even if there were fans that died between movies. The producers understood that it doesn't matter what your dreams and hopes and ambitions are; it doesn't matter if you have a new boyfriend or a new girlriend or a new movie is coming out, you can forget those plans, because you're going to wind up dead.

Jay with a TNG reference? Truly strange times...

"this is true" during the later half of Ebert's rant cracked me up.

I honestly love listening to Jay and Josh talk about old horror movies with admiration.

Because of Jay talking about them so often, and Rich Evans playing the awesome video game, I watched all the Friday 13th movies around the holidays last year. I definitely recommend watching these movies while wrapping gifts, it may be a new holiday tradition for me.

Prediction: Jay is gonna mention the sleeping bag kill and show footage of it

CJ Graham[part VI] is one of my favorite portrayals of Jason. Being an ex-Marine he brought a visceral nature to the character.

Man I forgot how much of a pearl clutcher Ebert was back in the 80s....his Evil Dead review is pretty good also lol

I love how you're expecting Ebert to say something stupid about the message this movie sends to teenagers, like "mass murder is cool," but instead delivers a far darker soliloquy on the futility of ascribing any sort of quasi-narrative "purpose" to one's existence in the face of Death, great reaper of us all. I mean...if ever there was one dangerous message movies could send to teenagers, "everything you know and love will crumble and scatter in the sands of time" is probably it.

Even the mask doesn't make any sense after a point. It gets cracked in half down the middle and then charred up in part 7. Then, the new mask he finds at the start of Manhattan happens to have an axe mark in at as well for some reason. This whole franchise has a "just roll with it" attitude that I kind of love. Jason's own origin makes no sense and they didn't even bother to correct it in the remake. 😂 Part VI is probably my favorite in this whole series because of the comedic/smartass tone.

My favorite discovery of 2020 was this channel. Thank you all at RLM. Don't ever change.

Quality production value on your shows, guys. It really looks great! Great job on the set lighting.

ROFL - the board with the faces and names got me every. Single. Time.

20:35 I have a 10-year-old son, and I can confirm that Cory Feldman's kid reaction to the girl getting naked through the window is 100% accurate to how young boys would react to seeing that.

That sleeping bag smash is one of my favorite movie moments ever.

Friday the 13th part VI is special to me. The summer of 1986, I was 16 and I got my first job at a newly opened 6-screen movie theater. It was the first more-than-2-screen theater back in the day in my area. I forget all the movies we had at opening, but this was one of them. Now, the fun things... I was 16. This was an R movie where you couldn't go see it without a parent unless you were 18... so I thoroughly enjoyed being 16 year-old and throwing out 17-year-olds who were too young to see the movie that I would see several times a day every day for weeks :) Also, sometimes about 30-45 minutes into the movie... I would quietly go into the theater and just before one of the big scenes I would take both hands, palms open and slap the back wall of the theater as hard as I could... most people in the theater would jump! :) Also also... when we opened we were given only one movie trailer to show before every movie. Normally you'd expect to see 2-3 movie trailers before the feature started, but not us... we only had one trailer to show before each film... the trailer to Friday the 13th Part VI. And, yes... if you paid to see that movie, you also saw the trailer for that movie before seeing the actual movie itself. It was very meta.

I seriously thought Jay died his hair green for a hot second.

In regards to "early meta horror", that movie with Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro from 1982 "The Last Horror Film" is another great example of a meta horror film with all kinds of references to horror movies, how movies work and whatnot with the Cannes Film Festival as a backdrop for everything

There are 2 people I love in this world. Crispin Glover and Josh (AKA "The Wizard").

i love whenever jay pulls out something for show and tell

So, take this from someone who watched the Camp Crystal Lake Memories documentary: Six was the introduction of the Frankenstein Monster theme, but Seven was the one where his actual personality as a movie monster started, as Kane Hodder donned the mask and added certain flourishes to the character, such as the 'slow head turn' and 'angry shiver'. Small things, but it gives a show of the sort of singular mind within.

So given the relationship you've cultivated with Mac, maybe you can have Feldman as a special guest star. Mac, Corey Feldman, and Rich Evans on a special Child Stars episode of BOTW.

Crystal Lake Memories really is a legit documentary. I got it with a torrent pack of all of the Friday The 13th movies, and I ended up enjoying it way more than anything else.

That compilation of characters saying names around the 36 minute mark is gold!

Shout-outs to everyone who had to watch the shitty, censored versions on Spike TV

The original Friday the 13th is really neat for introducing to new audiences. Everyone already knows Jason, so the ending becomes a great and unexpected twist.

I’m so happy I’ve wanted a Re:View on Friday the 13th since I watched Jay talk about the series on PreRec

I was waiting for a while for this one! Now if we get a re:view of Phantasm with Jay and Rich
