NEW PODCAST: Maniac With A Machete

It's a blessing and a curse to be a horror fan. It's a curse because you can only experience your favorite horror movies for the first time only once. Sure, you can rewatch it and try to have fresh eyes but undoubtedly, you'll just remember everything and it's not the same.

So I came up with an idea sometime ago. What if I found someone who not only hasn't seen one of my favorite movie franchises "Friday the 13th" but what if they weren't into horror films very much? What would that perspective be like? Thinking about who I knew that fit both criteria, I thought of only one person.

And two backups in case she said no.

But thankfully she didn't. Cause I got my long time friend Rachel Thuro to join me on this incredibly weird and probably pointless journey through every single Friday the 13th film, yes including Freddy vs Jason and yes even the remake from 2009. I'm glad Rachel said yes because I enjoy talking to her and we sort of have the same sense of humor but she's seen more of those "good" movie and "Oscar caliber" movies than I have so getting her side of these movies will be interesting to say the least.

And we recorded our first episode last night and it is now ready for your ears! And once Podomatic stops having issues, I plan on having it up on iTunes and Spotify and anywhere else you get podcasts. Maybe even on...THE DARK WEB!!! OOH!!!

Anyway, here's the information about the show and episode 1:

Welcome to Maniac With A Machete! Your hosts Jason Soto (super nerdy horror guy) and Rachel Thuro (Not into horror movies; never seen any of the Friday the 13th films) will go on a journey together as they watch every Friday the 13th film in order and discuss them, rank them, get overly nerdy, and reveal what watching these movies for the first time or for the millionth time is like. In this episode, we start off, where else, the beginning as we talk about Friday the 13th from 1980 and reveal who the real final girl should've been, the weird edits, Betsy Palmer's career, strip Candy Land, and that weird ass ending.

Also, there's a Facebook group where not only will we share new episodes but posts about anything Friday the 13th in general...and probably other stuff. Just come check it out!

Ok, that's it. Let me know what you guys think. For real. I've asked for feedback in the past and never got a word. We would LOVE some feedback along with your thoughts and opinions on Friday the 13th. If you pay us enough, we'll read it on the air! Maybe.
