Has the film "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" ever left you hot and bothered?

Jason Denton watches this film with audio description and learns a lot about himself on the way!

Happy Friday the 13th! This month, Blind Guy and Movie Buff Jason Denton will be exploring a guilty pleasure movie franchise: Friday the 13th, Part Two. It’s Jason on Jason!

Why Part Two? Because it’s the only one out of the 12 Friday the 13th movies that has audio description, the track that explains the action to people who are visually impaired.

But that’s not the only reason! This movie features one of Jason’s favorite “final girl” actresses, Amy Steel. Her performance makes this movie a step above some slasher flicks. This was also the directorial debut of Steve Miner.

Hear about Jason‘s history with the whole Friday the 13th series, why he was so reluctant to finish them and how it became actually one of his favorite franchises to revisit.

So, join Sight Unseen for our first guilty pleasure episode. Then we will get back to the artsy stuff!

Warning: Spoilers in this podcast. If you haven’t watched Friday the 13th yet to know how they end, though, that’s really on you at this point, right?

On this episode of Sight Unseen, Jason Denton checks out two visually beautiful films from the 1970s by director Terrence Malick. Jason gives us a blind guy's perspective on how much you can take from these with sound alone!

"Badlands" follows young actors Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen as lovers on the run in a "Bonnie and Clyde" style tale. Spoiler alert: Just elope and don't shoot your girlfriend's dad. 

"Days of Heaven" traces the journey of Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, and Linda Manz through the flyover states in search of work on Sam Shepherd's farm. Spoiler alert: If you like a girl, don't tell everyone around you that she's your sister.
