A24 and Peacock may seem like odd bedfellows, but ’tis the time of year. Crystal Lake, a new horror series exploring the origins of the Friday the 13th franchise, dropped earlier this week. Set in the early 1970s and starring Velma Cardellini as Pam, a grieving mother whose son Jason drowned at summer camp, the show gives us a firsthand look at how one of the most infamous slasher franchises was born.

On the podcast, we break down the 56-minute premiere, “Camp Crystal,” and discuss the show's dark sense of humor, gruesome violence, and the larger mystery surrounding Pamela's past. We also get into some trivia, the show's wild production, comparisons to other modern horror series, and our ultimate thoughts and rating.

Welcome to Today’s Episode!
