  • Summary

  • This week on the Geek Garage podcast, we're diving deep into the wild world of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)! In The New Blood, Jason Voorhees faces off against Tina, a troubled teen with telekinetic powers, leading to an epic showdown of supernatural vs. slasher. In Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason leaves Camp Crystal Lake behind and wreaks havoc on a cruise ship before arriving in the Big Apple—though he doesn't get there until the final act.

    We hit many highlights and bizarre moments, from Tina's Carrie-like powers to Jason's surprisingly limited time in Manhattan, and sharing our thoughts on why these two entries miss the mark in the franchise. Plus, we dive into other films that deal with telekinesis and the unique way movies have captured Manhattan's essence, often better than Jason did!

    Tune in for killer trivia, sharp commentary, and our honest takes on these divisive films!
