    MP4 - Star Trek: Evens and Odds, Part One

    In this week's episode, Pete is joined by friend and Trek expert, Ostron (visiting from the D&D podcast, Heroes Rise) to discuss a long held belief that the Star Trek movie franchise is cursed. Specifically, that every odd numbered entry is doomed to fail. Join us as we tally up box office receipts, critical reviews, and audience scores to determine if this curse is truth, myth, or something else entirely. We also figure out if the cast-era figures into the equation. Original series, Next Generation, and the Reboot timeline are all examined under the microscope. This episode also works as a timeline and behind the scenes history of the Star Trek movie franchise. It should be fun for fans and newcomers alike. Join us in this first part of three, because this franchise spans across four decades and (so far) thirteen films! Heroes Rise: https://heroesrisepodcast.com/

    MP 3 - Debunking the Myths of Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees

    When someone says "Jason Voorhees", what do you picture in your mind? A hockey mask wearing, machete wielding menace who stalks through the night, seeming to appear out of nowhere when his victims thought they had escaped? What if I told you that popular image might not be correct? This week, Pete and a guest break down the tropes of the Friday the 13th franchise and figure out what is truth, and what is pop culture myth. Does he actually kill most of his victims with a machete? Is he a slow stalker like Michael Myers, able to keep up despite his victims sprinting in terror? Does he have the power to appear out of thin air around corners? Join us and find out the answer to all these question, on the MoviePete podcast.
