Rob Hill isn't half-hearted. Joining Oliver Harper for "Jason X (2001) Commentary with @TheBadMovieBible", he says: "I adore this movie. I really do."
Harper posted nothing new this week, but that conversation is drawing the most daily views among his currently busiest uploads. Hill, the author behind The Bad Movie Bible, embraces a sequel that sends Jason Voorhees into space. Affection doesn't stop either commentator questioning how Jason escapes his restraints, or why an abandoned research facility apparently goes unchecked for centuries.
There is craft to appreciate between the absurdities. Harper examines the film's early digital finishing process, while the pair discuss Kane Hodder's physical performance and the practical miniatures used in a spaceship collision. A countdown near the start lets listeners synchronise their own copy of the film with the commentary.
The channel added roughly 69,000 views across its library over the week. Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Among nearby film-commentary channels, Kristian Harloff had a substantially busier week; Patrick Tomasso and HelloGreedo were quieter than Harper in total views gained.
Away from Jason's spacecraft, "The Neverending Story II (1990) Retrospective/Review" remains another source of viewing, having passed 132,000 views. Hill also returns alongside comedian Nick Helm in the Halloween 4 commentary, giving Harper's archive two very different masked killers with conversational company.
