Friday The 13th (2009)

In an era filled with cautionary tales, the Aughts pod looks to
celebrate what was good about that time.  But in the case of
this episode, your co-hosts are making a rare break from form to
focus on a movie that took all the wrong lessons from the
2000s and ended up as Jordan's nadir of the remake machine. This
is the anti-Aughtsterion movie. This is... the 2009 remake of
Friday The 13th – a picture that dares to misuse Julianna
Guill and Willa Ford and feels like the product of a post-beer
pong brainstorm sesh in the frat basement. But as we say on
Aughtsterion: It's important, because another essential mission
of the pod is to highlight the lessons we can learn from a period
that could generously described as
"problematic." F13 reminds us that many things from the
millennium era are better left in the bin, but if we do not study
the time that birthed this fucking bummer, we will simply be
doomed to repeat it.
