Does Jason Pee? Deep Questions from Friday the 13th Part 2

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the movie review podcast where we hack our way through films of all genres and tell you which ones are “worthy of the forest” and which deserve no more than a rotting stump. In this episode, hosts Nate and Jason bravely enter the woods of questionable horror logic as they revisit Friday the 13th Part 2—the 1981 (oops, Nate calls it 1982!) slasher sequel that brought Jason Voorhees out of the lake and onto dry land… despite having already killed him off in the original. The guys break down everything from confusing timelines (Was Jason supposed to be 12? 33? Bad at math? Yes!) to continuity errors that’ll make your head spin faster than a machete swing. They debate essential cinematic issues like: Did we really need that four-minute flashback? (Spoiler: no.) Is farmhand-strength Jason scary, or just a guy with a flour sack on his head who struggles with Paul in a fistfight? And what’s the deal with the world’s worst plumbing, cars that break down on cue, and counselors who apparently don’t notice their cars being towed away right in front of them? Expect a hilarious exchange about the film’s logic gaps, counting errors, brown underwear (seriously), which on-screen scares land—and which kills are strictly for the stunt bump. Plus: one host defends the movie’s place in the Friday the 13th mythos, while the other recommends it only as a form of light torture… for your least favorite sibling. Get ready, because this isn’t just a review—this is an autopsy with jokes, messy plot threads, and just enough campfire storytelling to make you paranoid the next time you hear a twig snap. Grab your hockey mask, fire up your skepticism, and join us for a romp through the hilariously flawed woods of Friday the 13th Part 2 on Trees in Space!
