This week, Don and Jon strap on the 3D glasses (yes, those glasses) and descend into the neon-lit, cartoonish chaos of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. Was this supposed to be the final nail in the Elm Street coffin… or just a studio-approved cash grab wearing Freddy’s glove?

We slice into the film’s troubled production, Rachel Talalay’s wild swing at the franchise and Robert Englund’s fully Looney Tunes style Freddy. We talk gimmicky 3D kills, did-we-need-them cameos, standout deaths and how this movie somehow laughed its way to box-office success while critics sharpened their knives.

Is Freddy’s Dead a misunderstood finale? A tonal nightmare? Or the moment the franchise tripped over its own punchline and face-planted into the dream world?
We argue what works, roast what doesn’t, drop trivia like bodies, and debate whether this one truly belongs near the bottom of the Elm Street pantheon.

So pour yourself some coffee… because sleep is overrated.
One, two, time to review…
