You think Jane's a Car was bad for you? Imagine it from Becky's perspective.
For the first time in a long time, Becky feels safe. Stanley is dead, she's reconnected with her highschool sweetheart, and now he's even introducing her to his kid.
She runs into Tom at the book store, tries to be cute, but he's not having it. Okay, that's fine, everyone has their off days. And he's researching hearing voices?? A little weird, but okay...
Then Tom shows up at her house. As he rambles about things that don't make sense. But that's not what's scary. He starts talking about his dead wife—wait, did he dig up his wife's corpse? He says his dead wife wants him to kill people, that he almost killed someone today.
And even though she killed him, it's like Stanley's still here. Becky can see it, that same crazed look in Tom's eye. Terrified, she smiles and nods, humouring him. This is the same Tom she loves and trusts. He is the one, she's known it since highschool. Only now he's talking about killing her, and she realizes that the man she trusted is having a psychotic breakdown in her living room.
He storms off, and Becky follows him outside. But he's already in the car, and with complete horror, Becky realizes he's about to run her down.
She won't die. Not after everything's she's lived through. She refuses to, so she runs to the Witchwood, the very same Witchwood Stanley chased her into with a knife. She thinks about Stanley, and she hears the car behind her, and for a second, they are one and the same. She will never be able to rest. She can never stop running.
She could climb a tree, like she did with Stanley, but could she? What she saw up there is worse than death. She won't put herself through it again.
So she runs from the man who swore he loved her. Only now there is no carotid to stab, only cold, unforgiving metal. The chase goes on, and then, it's over.
Her body lives, but Becky Barnes dies on the floor of the Witchwood, alone and terrified. Her death was a perfect mirror of her greatest trauma, and her last action was to try and escape a man she loved.
Jane's A Car from Tom's perspective is zany. Jane's A Car from Becky's perspective is horrifying.

the Hatchetfield plotline has me in a CHOKEHOLD
The new starkid actor who plays the character with a direct link to the musicals title (Jon [Paul], Angela [Lex], Will [Max])
The two characters that fall for each other over the course of the musical (Paulkins, Barneston, Lautski)
That interlude song about a musical that is a part of the Hatchetverse but has nothing to do with what's happening at that point in the show. (Workin' Boys, Santa Clause is Goin' to Highschool, The Barbeque Monologues)
The single dad who thinks he knows what’s best for his kid but is pretty misguided (Bill + Alice Woodward, Tom + Tim Houston, Solomon + Steph Lauter)
The song where everyone in town goes insane (La Dee Dah Dah Day, Feast or Famine, Hatchet Town)
Jeff Blim's commentary on something probably (America's Great Again, Made in America, Just For Once)
And now to interrupt our segment - DAN AND DONNA WITH THE HATCHETFIELD ACTION NEWS
That one CREEPY AF song that comes out of nowhere (Join Us (And Die), Do You Want to Play, The Summoning)
The “smoke club” gesture
That part of the musical where a main character almost dies but then is saved by someone appearing on stage. (Paul + McNamara, Lex + McNamara, Pete + Max)
Then there's that one character who's morality was already questionable but then they give into the eldritch gods without any supernatural coercion (Prof. Hidgens, Linda Monroe, Grace Chastity)
Those precious few seconds where you think everything is going to be alright but the apocalypse lives on
Oh, and Paul Matthews and Emma Perkins finding each other… as they always do

Something I think is underrated about Jane's a car is how close Dylan's face is to the camera the whole time.
Just look at him. Nobody else is getting nearly that close to the camera, at least not constantly like Dylan is. Idk if it was on purpose, but it gives the vibe that you're face-timing with your depressed uncle who doesn't know wtf is going on, which really matches Tom's energy throughout the entire episode, so I'm choosing to believe it was a character choice.

"Got my foot on the gas" will forever be hilarious but the rest of the music video is absolutely sending me because it just looks like they found Dylan in the wild and got a bunch of footage of him idling around
