Jason Lives turns 40 this month, and we're revisiting the film that changed the Friday the 13th franchise forever. Plus, our old friend Joe returns to the show for the first time in 5 years. 

We discuss how the film brought much-needed humor and self-awareness to the series, why it remains a fan favorite 40 years later, and how a handful of bold creative decisions transformed Jason into the supernatural icon we know today.

We also share stories from our interview with director Tom McLoughlin, including the origins of zombie Jason, the alternate ending that almost happened, and the truth behind one of the movie's strangest sound effects.
