Listen to the last episode:

In the 1980s, many movie fans thought the Friday the 13th series was at its best with the fourth movie, The Final Chapter, where it seemed like Jason Voorhees was finally defeated. The fifth film, A New Beginning, tried to take the story in a new direction but didn't satisfy fans. Then, a new writer and director named Tom McLoughlin was asked to bring new life to the series and the famous killer.

In his story, Tommy Jarvis digs up Jason's grave with the plan to burn his remains and end the trauma he caused. Instead of ending Jason's terror, a bolt of lightning hits the corpse, bringing him back to life like Frankenstein.

Listen to Tim Williams and co-hosts Charlie Cotter and Laramy Wells from the "Moving Panels" Podcast, as they discuss "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives" from 1986 on this special bonus episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.

Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

Writer/director Tom McLoughlin decided that Jason would not harm a child out of sympathy for the plight of children generated by his childhood drowning.
