    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!

    Purple Hair, Exploding Hookers, and Lawn Mower Mayhem—Frankenhooker Explained

    Welcome back to Trees in Space, where we bravely plow through every bizarre movie genre the universe can throw at us—armed only with questionable nostalgia, overly honest hot takes, and the kinds of jokes that only make sense to people who may or may not still be thirteen at heart. This week, your hosts Nate and Jason take a hilariously awkward deep dive into the cult-classic oddity that is Frankenhooker (1990). Imagine: a medical school dropout, a tragic lawnmower “accident,” a fiancée whose head ends up in a fish tank, and a super-convoluted plan to reassemble lost love with... let’s just call them “parts” from New York’s finest streetwalkers—and a lot of super crack. Yes, you read that right. Nate and Jason duke it out over whether Frankenhooker is a misunderstood B-movie treasure or a monstrous mishmash of questionable prosthetics and even more questionable plot choices. Expect breakdowns of the film’s delightfully terrible special effects, philosophical debates on purple hair, explosive reviews (literally... exploding people everywhere), and a heartfelt appreciation for practical effects over bad CGI—all with a splash of 90s VHS charm. By the end, you'll have heard five-star worship, one-star rants, and a ratings system so convoluted even Jason has trouble explaining the difference between “four trees and a stump” and “one tree with a stump.” If you’re in the mood for a review that's as weirdly captivating as the film itself, you’re in for a treat. So grab your remote-controlled lawnmower, pour one out for Elizabeth’s head, and get ready: it’s time for Trees in Space to go where no (sane) reviewer has gone before—into the wild, stitched-together world of Frankenhooker.

    We Watched Barb Wire So You Don’t Have To—But Wow, the Boobs…

    Welcome back, space cadets! On this episode of "Trees in Space," your hosts Jason and Nate dive headfirst—boobs first?—into the wonderfully weird 1996 cult "classic," Barb Wire. That’s right, it’s Pamela Anderson in full pleather regalia, mysterious contracts about who can show what on screen, and a plot that somehow fuses Casablanca with post-apocalyptic biker chic and a dollop of Nazi cosplay for good measure. This week, Jason confesses he didn’t even realize Barb Wire was a comic book movie, while Nate admits he was way ahead of the curve—having watched it originally, although not as a fan of Pamela. (Apparently, blue-eyed blondes just remind him too much of his sister. Ew?) The duo tackles everything from the movie’s deeply confusing timeline (why does the "future" look like 1986?) to its smoking hot, gravity-defying fashion choices, to that age-old cinematic question: why can Pamela show all the boobage but everyone else is stuck with pasties? Was Barb Wire secretly trying to channel the classic romance of Casablanca? Did the plot get lost somewhere between the strip club and the retina scanner? And what exactly is “plot armor”—or maybe just plot underwear? Our fearless hosts dig through the darkness (literal and metaphorical), debate the acting chops of the cast (Pam’s not the worst! Who knew?!), and argue whether this movie deserves a full tree or just a lonely stump on their patented rating scale. If you’re ready for a hilariously honest breakdown of a “campy, breasty” sci-fi romp packed with flying bullets and questionable dialogue, tune in! And remember: they watch the trash so you don’t have to—or so you know exactly when to jump in for the wardrobe malfunctions. Strap in. It’s going to be a wild ride—pleather optional.

    A Working Man: An Action Movie as Thin as Watered-Down Tomato Sauce

    Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast that reviews movies with all the seriousness of a lumberjack at a disco and the critical eye of a Russian mob enforcer with poor aim. This week, hosts Jason (not Statham, mind you) and a sniffly Nate tackle "A Working Man," the 2025 action flick that answers the age-old question: what happens if you want a Taken reboot but all you can get is Jason Statham, a white hard hat, and an indestructible motorcycle? In this episode, our hosts break down a movie so formulaic it might as well come with store-brand tomato sauce—plus a suspiciously high audience score and critics who are just as confused as our hosts about why 87% of people seem to love it. From mafia marksmanship that wouldn’t scare a stormtrooper, to plotlines abandoned so suddenly they need their own search party, nothing is safe from Jason and Nate’s gleeful chainsaw of a review. Was “A Working Man” an action masterpiece, or just another stump in the cinematic forest? Grab your snow tires and tune in for all the takes, all the groans, and all the convoluted metaphors, right here on Trees in Space!

    Breaking Down Major League: A Team So Bad, Even the Script Lost Hope

    Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast that reviews movies with the perfect blend of nostalgia, hot takes, and more than a few questionable jokes. In this episode, hosts Jason and Nate take a swing at the 1989 comedy classic "Major League"—but with a twist: one host has never actually seen the movie before, and the other was in high school when it came out (so cue the “back in my day” stories). Join the guys as they break down everything from Charlie Sheen’s wild haircut and Bob Uecker’s legendary one-liners, to why Cleveland stadiums proudly supported both baseball and football teams… and, of course, why Wesley Snipes was basically unrecognizable as a baby-faced no-name in this film. You’ll hear them debate whether Rachel Phelps, the villainous team owner, is really the bad guy or just a misunderstood business genius—and which of the many zany misfit players actually had the best redemption arc. They dive into fan reviews (both glowing and grumpy, and even one confused soul who thought The Rock starred in this), drop some behind-the-scenes trivia, and wrap it all up by rating the film with their unique "tree" system. If you've ever wondered how well Major League holds up or just want some baseball banter with your comedy, this episode’s got you covered. Grab your peanuts and Cracker Jacks, because this is one major league episode you won’t want to miss!

    Accidentally a Man Whore: Deuce Bigalow Gets Reviewed by Trees in Space

    Welcome back to Trees in Space, the only podcast where the forest might be alive—but your fish tank definitely isn’t safe from stunt doubles or Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo. This week, hosts Jason and Nate dive deep, or maybe just wade awkwardly, into the 1999 Rob Schneider “classic” (using that word as loosely as possible). They break down everything from $6,000 fish tank destruction, to naked aquarium cleaning, to wondering if you can actually use a fish tank cleaner as a stand-in plumber. As always, Jason and Nate dish on the best (and worst) jokes, question why Rob Schneider keeps getting leading roles (spoiler: nobody knows), and debate which scenes made them laugh versus which ones made them reconsider ever eating sushi—or touching food again. From side characters with narcolepsy and Bigfoot-sized feet to Norm Macdonald’s 30-second bartender cameo, they ask the hard questions: Is this movie more stump than grove? Ready for pies vs cakes and the Gobots version of Shallow Hal? Listen in for salty opinions, random cameos, and enough gigolos to make your high school guidance counselor blush—all on this episode of Trees in Space!
