"I came to see them fight or kiss" This is a big mood right here.

AYYY BOBBY DOOK! I'M A METAPHOR FOR GRIEF OVA HEEAH!

Just here to say that Bobby Dook is a certified A+ home run, the people demand more Bobby Dook

Oddly my girlfriend* really wanted to see this despite her not watching much of either series so we saw it opening weekend. And ya, ScaredySlime totally nailed it, it's a great, schlocky, violent romp. What else could it be? *She is now my wife, obviously

Came here to watch Matt talk about Freddy vs Jason but I liked for Bobby Dook the Babadook who Matt came up with when he was high.

My over-analytic view on Jason's sudden new fear of water: while his waking adult self is fine with water, deep in the pit of his soul, there remains the fear left from his original death as a child. We all have irrational fears in our dreams where even things and people we love become frightening, thus Jason, big brawling not breathing amphibious zombie, has a fear of water in his dreams.

“Expectations were through the floor” is a great phrase

"The proud Friday the 13th tradition of doing whatever the hell you want in your movie" Exactly!! Exactly!!

We, the people, demand a Bobby Duke vs Grumbletum crossover episode.

Bobby Duke doesn't really need any more character development than being created in utter highness, and his voice inflected with Matt's barely repressed laughing.

Nice seeing you Bobby Duke, someone who definitely has been in the Scaredy Cats continuity

I would absolutely watch a movie where Jason, confronted with the raw evil of Freddy, realizes the error of his ways and instead decides to become a vigilante running out to do good or something.

"freddy vs jason is a movie about what if freddy, VS. jason?" rock solid delivery, deadpan for the ages, killer timing :D

Honestly when I first saw the film in theaters as a kid, my biggest complaint was that not enough of the film was Freddy and Jason kung fu fighting.

Is it just me or does Grumbletum vs Bobby Dook need to happen?

i literally did not know this channel existed and i finally have something to do today.

“Peter Jackson’s rejected script for the sixth movie.” Excuse me. Come again?

Fight or kiss. That's why I love wrestling.

Freddy Vs Jason is the movie equivalent of the villain mantra in Wreck It Ralph. “I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.”

In the bad points segment you forgot Freddy's "dark meat" comment

I liked Freddy having to use Jason because his myth had been killed.

"Expectations were through the floor". Priceless!

"I came to see them fight or kiss" How does this channel not have more subscribers

I've always understood that the "afraid of water" thing was just nightmare logic. He's just afraid of it in his dream with Freddy in it. No part of me thought any further and I don't know why it even annoyed anyone at all.

I went to see this at the cinema by myself, when the lights came on the two guys, both in their late 30s, turned to each other and one of them said 'That was the greatest movie I've ever seen'. That remains my favourite part of Freddy vs Jason (a film I think is pretty good).

I absolutely love this film. It is just fun. Also, me being random af: I've seen people claim an error when Freddy cuts off a character's nose without affecting her in the real world. Actually, this is fine if you pay attention and how Freddy's power increases. 1) No one remembers him, so can't enter their dreams period. 2) His name is heard, letting him to indirectly affect dreams. 3) He can appear in dreams, but can't even hurt them at all. 4) Here is the nose scene! He cam harm in dreams, but not yet strong enough to affect them in reality. 5) He's now back at full strength.

Freddy vs Jason was the first horror movie I dared to watch from beginning to end, and for the longest time it was my Halloween tradition to rewatch it. It, in all honesty, is one of the most important horror movies of my life. Videos about it, like this one, couldn't make me happier.

"Pistols at Dawn"? Scardy Matt, do you even Freddy vs Jason? Surely it should be "Razorfingers vs Machete; injured party gets first choice of weapon".

I don't blame Kelly in this case, because it was absolutely the director's job to say "that ad-lib didn't work, let's do another take."

I was ABOUT TO SAY "What about the guy who gets crunched in a bed" thank you.

This movie was perfect. I waited almost 30 years for it to happen, and the 12 year old kid in me got everything he wanted. If you don't know this is everything we wanted, you weren't a long term fan of of both franchises. Or you just have a different opinion than me, could be that.

okay the tinker tailor freddy jason joke might be the best in this video i was completely not expecting it and now i cant stop saying those 4 words in sequence in my head

Really wish we could have gotten the Pinhead ending...

Comments are filled with bobby dook related mentioned, so I'm like "Oh when's this video gonna make a heel turn and talk about babbadook" Egg, just all over my face.

"Expectations were through the floor" New favorite line

This was all a setup for their Mortal Kombat appearances anyway

i would happily watch tinker tailor freddy jason.

This is probably my biggest guilty pleasure horror film. It has enough schlock to be JUST bad enough to be fun without being terrible and boring.

Jason just sliding Freddy through a bunch of windows gave me life, actually

I don't even like the babadook, but Bobbie Duke made me laugh p hard and I'm sober rn, Matt

The beginning, with a living Fred in a normal jacket pouring over his scrapbook while casually smoking a cigarette is, to me, about the creepiest Freddy scene ever produced.

Honestly, (not having seen it) I thought the "afraid of water" bit for Jason was a clever way to give a weakness to a character intended to be unstoppable, now that you *needed* him to have some kind of weakness to make any sort of conflict between the two slasher villains interesting. It isn't consistent with prior films, but there's a *wonderful* internal logic to having the guy whose origin story involves having (nearly, as it turned out in later films) drowned as a child be afraid of water.

Ugh the 00's were peak f slur time. I can't watch dude where's my car any more cuz it's just... so many times. Like I forget how super prevalent it was in that kind of media. 🥲

I like this movie too. It's schlocky B-movie stuff and I love it.

The casting is the icing on the cake for me. They couldn't get Brittany Murphy, so they got an actress that is an 85 to 90 percent clone of her. Jason Mewes wasn't available, so they found someone that could do an impersonation. Beyonce wouldn't have wanted anything to do with this, but one of the other two members of Destiny's Child also wanted to get into acting. Big money, big prizes, I love it!

I've got fond memories of this movie as well, though I don't think I have the guts to call it good. Been in a bad place and Bobby Dook genuinely made me laugh. Thank you.

I, for one, love and cherish the character of Robert E. Dook.

I was too busy raising my kids in the 70's to watch this but now I am no longer raising my kids in the 70's and I have all the time in the world

Years ago, I drove some of the production team for Freddy vs Jason back when I was driving limos. They were staying at the Driskill hotel in Austin, TX. They were unbelievably nice; not in a weird, obsequious way, just very cool to us regular working-class groundlings. The exact opposite of what you would imagine. I remember Robert Englund being really kind to a hotel staffer explaining some kind of problem about rooms.

The joy of this video was palpable, I love seeing people talk about the stuff they like, especially without the pretense of "guilt" as in a "guilty pleasure"

tuesday again? no problem!

Laughed out loud at bobby duke the babadook looking forward to seeing more of this perfect creation

"Came here to see them fight or kiss" But not "Fight and then kiss"? friends to lovers 5k slowburn?

Bobby Dook might be my favorite thing in all of existence. I would pay good money to watch The Babadook but with you ad-libbing Bobby Dook over the top every time he's on screen. This is not a goof. I will pay to watch that!

i love the bobby dook. please do not hesitate to include him in future videos. he is very funny to me.

It’s been 20 years and this is not only one of my favorite summer flicks but one of my favorite horror movies too I actually didn’t find out about this movie apart from one trailer and a newspaper article Two of the most famous slasher icons finally come face-to-face in this unique crossover The project actually spent so much time in development hell plus the fact that ‘Friday the 13th’ was with Paramount and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ belonged to New Line Cinema But once the rights switched over Jason Vorhees and Freddy Kruger could finally be in the same movie, it was just a matter of how to bring them together Director Ronny Yu from ‘Bride of Chucky’ delivers some terrific gore, fun action set pieces, and has great chemistry with these two slasher villains thanks to writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift The soundtrack is one of my absolute favorites, it has a brisk running time, and Robert Englund gives the most energy he’s had playing the killer with knives on his hands New actor Ken Kirzinger isn’t too shabby either as Jason being brutal not letting anything phase him much less a monster from the dream world This was also my first introduction Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, and Katherine Isabelle When the movie is actually about Freddy and Jason it kicks ass, there’s great doses of humor too with slick visuals Even Freddy Krueger gets a new makeup job as we see how much prosthetics have changed There’s a glorious self-awareness that you can’t help but notice The final showdown is the absolute best part where fans get the best of both these killers duking it out Although when the movie isn’t focusing on that it’s the same ol slice and dice formula with disposable human characters even if they do match the 2000s era The conspiracy plot to cover up Freddy Kruger is interesting but it doesn’t really go anywhere Yet an overall theme of children paying for their parents crimes is apparent throughout The film was still a box office hit even if the reviews were mixed at best paying homage to both franchises that have lasted for over 40 years Whatever the case the movie still is loads of fun to watch the bloody carnage unleashed by these two horror icons that definitely came from a rocky start

Yo the clip where he swings his machete and sends her flying into a tree is legitimately hilarious

Add Tinker Tailor Freddy Jason to the backdrop from now on plz.

How could you NOT like a movie that so very, very straightforwardly delivers its premise?????

I demand more Bobby Duke. Also this video was good. Engagement comment.

This was one of the movies I was dragged into that I ended up being wildly delighted/amused by. And man, I still do the flinch because I am an easily afeared bed post.

"I'm a character that scaredy Mat thought of, when he was VERY high!" This legit made me laugh out loud for like 20 seconds oh my fucking god

Frankly, I think Freddy and Jason should've overcome their differences when they discover that both of their mothers were called Pamela.

I went to see FvJ with my best friend when we were in high school. We walked out of the theater, sat on the curb for a sec...then bought another set of tickets and watched it again. Best crossover movie ever made.

Watching Freddy vs Jason in a Discord call with the gang, we all decided Jason was an LGBT Ally, when he merc'd that girl right after she called Freddy the F-Slur, so we had fun with that, even though we were all "Fuck this movie" when she said it.

Waited over 10yrs for this, since 1st reading about it in Fangoria. My disappointment was immeasurable and my midnight matinee was ruined.

Slime, you have inspired me. No more fight or flight. In 2021 we’re developing the fight or kiss reflex.

"I'm not some kook" he says confidently after 10 minutes of being a kook. Love this channel bee tee dubs, and Freddy vs. Jason was a masterpiece, I will fight anyone that says otherwise!

It's the acting that gets me with this one. Everyone is terrible. Everyone. Plus, the scene where the token black friend falls asleep, gets her nose ripped off by Freddy, but wakes up with it fine. No understanding of the source material there or the whole "Jason afraid of water" thing.

My biggest problem with this movie is how weirdly cruel that one girl with the hat’s death was at the cornfield rave. Like there was no reason to have a sexual assault happen in this movie

I remember seeing this movie at a drive-in with my dad when I was 5 years old. It was a double feature with the second Jeepers Creepers. Good times I used to have with my dad lol

Eyyy Bobby Duke! Everyone's favourite Scaredy Cats character!

I watched all the Friday movies in order, then all the Nightmare movies in order, over the course of like 2 weeks to work my way up to Freddy vs Jason and it hit that spot perfectly for me since it was obvious how 'bad' it was gonna be. It's honestly my favorite fun horror movie to watch and i'm glad other people appreciate it for what it is as much as i do as well. Also my DUDE how could you not call out the 'dark meat' comment, I was legit in shock that was in the film when i saw it

I was 15 when this came out. And boy howdy, I tell ya, not much about my views didn't change in the proceeding 20 years. Things I loved I later hated, things I hated I later loved, some things I love sincerely, to later love ironically, some things seemed great, then seemed just okay, or seemed great and only got better as I grew and understood them more Freddy Vs Jason, never changed. Not a bit. I thought it was stupid awesome then, and I think it's stupid awesome now. I've never known anyone to get this film like I do, but Mildred nailed it. Thank you. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone :)

I was goddamn THRILLED when the movie first came out and I still love it earnestly and passionately. Thank you for this video, Matt, I love it.

"...and then see them fight, or kiss." I was mostly listening to this while doing the dishes, so my whole attention wasn't on it. That line produced a bark of laughter so sudden and loud I'm worried the neighbours could hear it.

We need a really high Matt stream..

I know your title is hyperbole, but I'm with you; I love this movie!

Aye, this here's a good example of a kind of tone I can't get enough of. Ridiculous ideas and cheese played with enough confidence, and delivered with enough gravitas to make it work.

That part where Jason slams Freddy through all the windows... god that part always is great

This is almost exactly my feelings! It's fun and what I wanted to see out of a movie with this premise. And I also saw it the year I graduated high school with my friends and will always have positive feelings tied in with nostalgia around it.

In the DVD extras for this movie, there's a "special feature" of a list of the characters, along with their causes of death. One guy's official cause of death is "Heavy Door" and I cannot accurately express to you how hilarious that was to my teenaged mind. FvJ was a delight.

This is actually one of my favorites. I've always liked it. Is it campy? Yes. Kooky? Absolutely. Fun? One of the best. Of course I really loved Evil Dead, sooooo...

Me and all my friends love this film so much, I guess I never stopped to think people seriously didn't like it. Thank you for waking me up to this new nightmare Mr. Slime.

you're an intelligent and fun critic. you infuse consistent and amusing personality into all your work. thank you

Saw it in the theater opening day, went in with reasonable expectations, had a blast, loved it, still do.

Matt is right. To me the only real way to judge a film is in how effectively it explores and executes it's premise. And this movie does a good job of that. Even if the premise is silly, it executes.

Probably my favourite Freddy or Jason movie tbh. Saw it in the theatre, and I can't imagine knowingly buying a ticket for a movie called Freddie Vs. Jason and not finding that fight at the end just super fun

I defend the Alien vs Predator film for similar reasons-- it's silly, yeah, and the main characters are one-note, but it was fun, and clearly made by people who were fans of both franchises, and wanted to give something back to the fandom. And I saw it with my best friend in middle school, so fond memories.

thank you for perfectly articulating for me why I love this movie so much and no one else seems to. Also yes add Bobby Duke to the Slimeverse expanded universe I love them

I remember the conversations around the junior high lunch table circa 1994 about the possibility of a Freddy vs Jason crossover. 13 year old boys discussed the hypothetical film like it would redefine cinema and potentially blow up the universe out of sheer awesomeness.

honestly IDK if there will ever be a truly good Friday the 13th until they fully embrace the idea of Jason as a tragic character. his backstory is so inherently sympathetic, and it contrasts with the almost comical levels of evil he commits due to his trauma from said backstory really well. What I'm saying is the Jason should be the Frankenstein's Monster of slashers (not the full-on good guy / antihero version that's come into vogue in recent years, more the classic suffering bastard man who is still very much a villain despite his many sympathetic aspects). I will admit that might be a challenge to reconcile with the goofier, stab-happy tone that people who like the existing movies seem to gravitate toward the series for, but I think it would be worthwhile to try.

I really wish they had the sequel with Ash. The comic Freddy vs Jason vs Ash is pretty good though.

Bobby Duke vs Grumbletum is the film we deserve

Freddy VS Jason is my favourite guilty pleasure movie and I am perfectly happy to watch it any time it's on.

Bobby dook is like a year old in a couple months. Happy birthday, Bobby!

I wish they'd go on full monster mash with the slasher movies. Just have a wild, incoherent cinematic universe where a mad scientist revivifies Jason with electricity and Michael Meyers and Chucky have to take him down. Also Pinhead is there.

its not just you being nostalgic,i lived through the heady VHS days of the 80s and watched all of both franchise on it until i was old enough to watch them in the cinema,i LOVED Freddy Vs Jason for all of the above reasons,popcorn cinema done right

You took my thoughts and feels and said them out loud on the internet. I love you.

That man at the end with the glasses! Officer that’s the man that stole my Heart
