Fearless Films
Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies.
Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

Episode 55 - Friday the 13th The Gimmick Years
This week on Fearless Films, the guys enter the prime of the Friday the 13th series' pop culture influence: The Gimmick Years. From parts 5 through 8, the creators throw in everything but the kitchen sink in order to keep audiences interested in the bloody adventures of Jason Voorhees.
We're talking copycat killers, Frankenstein-like revivals from the dead, battling psychic girls, and even visiting the Big Apple itself, New York City.
Pete explains how each entry gets crazier and more over the top, and fails to bring in the dollars of the early films.
Kevin has the startling realization that the definitive pop culture image of Jason does not even take full form until 7 or 8 entries into this franchise.
So join us on this killer cruise through one of the greatest slasher epics of all time, and remember: don't get too scared...
