Ever wondered how a franchise like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre keeps its edge through original continuities, remakes, reboots and sequels? We're pulling back the bloody curtain and dissecting it all. From the appearance of Nobbin's to the satirical spin on Motel Hell, and even the parody of the famous Breakfast Club poster art, we're slicing through the meaty bits of a horror sequel. But it doesn't end there! We also examine the unforgettable scene where our heroine uses her wits to save her own life, confusing Leatherface's lust for something else, and delve into the appeal of the movie as it hauls maniacal countryside villains into the heart of downtown.

As we sharpen our chainsaws for the epic battles of the silver screen, we also ponder the campiness of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre films and the lack of resolution in the sequel. What's on your horror movie playlist this Halloween season? We're sharing ours and inviting you to join the conversation. From endorsing films like 'Talk To Me' to sacrificing others on our podcast altar, we're all about that horror movie life. Stay tuned for a sneak peek into our next episode featuring 'The Deadly Spawn' and our review of 'Totally Killer' now available on Amazon Prime!

Speaker 1: 0:04

I was putting little pep in my step pre show to game it up. Can't say what I did because the YouTube algorithm will shut it down. I'll bring it up later. Just a little pet, I'm just talking trash.

Speaker 1: 0:15

As you stumble into podcast out there and podcast land, you've taken a detour. Maybe it's not the podcast you're looking for, but it's the podcast you've discovered. You stumbled into the binge watchers podcast with yours truly, johnny. Spoiler it's all by the Savage scream Queen and it's scream Queen season. It is Jordan Savage.

Speaker 1: 0:39

So, anyway, I would like to say that we're bringing like the best horror movies to watch. We're trying to embrace the season where everybody, pretty much in the audience, is looking for horror movies. We're going hard and we want to be your best source to do this. However, you know Jordan's kicking back watching Harry Potter. I thought she'd be diving into some real dangerous materials. He's like just a savage is. However, she's texted me. Um, you know I'm just sitting here with the bubbly watching Harry Potter. Then we had a mini discussion about which hat. You know where the hat would sort you into what house? You don't know what I'm talking about. I guess you don't like Harry Potter. However, one could argue, prisoner of Azkaban is for related, it has a werewolf and the dementors. So there's there's something in that.

Speaker 1: 1:31

All right, let's see if we can get Jordan to clean up her act here.

Speaker 2: 1:36

I know right. Shame on me.

Speaker 1: 1:38

I'm just right, jordan, shame, shame, watching Harry Potter. It's a video game now too, I think.

Speaker 2: 1:48

Oh my.

Speaker 1: 1:48

God, do I have the Harry Potter box set? Can't confirm her denying.

Speaker 2: 1:56

I bet you do. Please the fifth y'all crack open a cold box of wine or pour something cold on ice, because it's the binge watches podcast.

Speaker 1: 2:42

Oh, boy, usually interrupt the theme song right after it cracks open the can or drink or whatever your imagination takes you. But I let the play thing. How special you are tonight, folks, let the whole thing play out. Um home video head, let's see. Jordan, did you hear about this haunted swimming pool movie called Night Swim? No, okay, the closest I think I've seen to a haunted swimming pool in a movie is probably that movie where the invisible killer chases you, like the. It's like a body movie, right, a body horror or something, because it's like a sexually transmitted phantom, I don't know.

Speaker 2: 3:27

That thing that follows you? Yeah, it follows, or whatever.

Speaker 1: 3:30

Yeah, it's a good one which is like one of the coolest horror movies ever. And they have like a swimming pool in the third act and also in the creepy backyard with the neighbors that are all scoping out the main character. And now I'm just now, I'm just thinking like replaying that movie in my mind. Oh, the cat people has an attack at a swimming pool. Let's write one in has an attack on a swimming pool with the vampire girl and she beats up the bullies. But you know like how scary a pool is on screen. I mean, a lot of people freak out and associate pools with like underwater movies. Right, they still have like the fear of sharks in swimming pools or whatever the jaws effect, right. But to have a movie just make the swimming pool outright haunted, a spooky pool.

Speaker 2: 4:21

I mean, I guess it's possible, right Like.

Speaker 1: 4:24

oh wait, there's also a haunted swimming pool in the third poltergeist movie. I love that freaking movie. It takes place in a like apartment building inside of a skyscraper and then the hauntings all happened in the building. So at one point there is a thing with the swimming pool. Yeah, what a great movie for the season. To wish to look that up, it's not the favorite among the. Obviously probably the original poltergeist like outweighs the popularity of poltergeist three. But I have a soft spot for sequels. You know what I think my brain got warped for sequels is because they probably played the sequels more on TV than the original. Because sequels tend to cost more and make less until they go to like back in the day, video rental rights or like TV rights to have the TV channels paid and re screen the movies, Right. So right?

Speaker 2: 5:11

Yeah, it makes sense, since they would be like less successful than the first one. So it's like why?

Speaker 1: 5:14

they would show them more.

Speaker 1: 5:16

Yeah, try to try to make the money back, they would show the sequels, more yeah, but there's definitely a cult falling out there for poltergeist three undoubtedly. No doubt we actually in in podcast history. We covered like a series of the three quals and that was one of them. Like one of the entries was poltergeist three. This is like, guys, you'd have to go digging through the Internet to find you know, the poltergeist three episode or like. Or Texas Chainsaw Massacre three actually, which is funny because we're talking about later on in Texas Chainsaw movie. However, this is all. This is all unraveled because of Night's Swim, this whole, this whole diet tribe, this whole tiring. So I'm interested, I guess. I guess I guess what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 5:59

I'm ready. I'm ready to see it.

Speaker 1: 6:01

There's a movie called the Frightners which is like kind of a horror comedy. It's Peter Jackson, who of course made Lord of the Rings, and we watched his original movie Bat taste on here a few weeks ago. But there's a rumor mill swirling the rumors again about the Frightners coming back as like a new movie. Previously we had reported on our show like I don't know again. You'd have to go to like the basements of files of this podcast to find it. But like we had talked about that they were going to maybe adapt the Frightners into a TV show. But now like that's off the shelf or that's out of development and other saying like the new rumors. Just I feel like maybe they just are mistakenly talking about the same remake that's canceled. But now all the bloggers or whatever, or all the article sites are all talking about like oh, there's going to be a Frightners remake and it'll be a movie this time.

Speaker 1: 6:53

The Frightners is good, like Michael J Fox's character has an accident and then he can see ghosts and stuff like that. But then there's a serial killer ghost who like doesn't, who didn't finish his killing spree or whatever, and wants to finish his killing spree. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the Frightners. You know it's from the 90s, I think, maybe 99. It's like early CGI. It's like how Peter Jackson learned CGI so then he could do Lord of the Rings. He was doing effects with this little anyway. I love how tonight's home video headlines have like spurred all these little heads A thousand thoughts.

Speaker 1: 7:30

Just like running these things through. Anyway, I would watch it. I'd be in it. Man, the Frightners is a good movie. Anyway, go back, look at the Frightners. Maybe there'll be a show, maybe there'll be another movie who the hell knows?

Speaker 1: 7:43

Totally killers already on Amazon Prime. We were talking about that a few weeks ago as well. It's basically like a slasher film and the girl goes back to the 80s when her mom and her mom's friends were attacked by killers. Does it sound like the final girls? Maybe, but the final girls was about someone that goes into the movie that her mom is in as a teenager like a teen star, and then they're trapped in like a Friday 13th style horror movie. Which one is better, I'll tell you later, if you stick around, for later in the episode I've watched Totally Killer and I'll totally review it for you, but that's later. First we're going to get Jordan some time now to hit me back for all the Harry Potter throughout. Earlier. She's going to tell you about tonight's movie and she's going to drop some savage stats, although I will say I forgot to tell her about Nubbins. Technically he's the hitchhiking cannibal brother from the first movie. I don't know.

Speaker 1: 8:33

I know Jordan has seen the last Texas Chainsaw with us because we watched the Netflix one, but I don't know if she's seen the whole series and it's a little confusing because the cannibal family changes their relatives in every movie and brothers at work killed their back and other ones are introduced and the family changes their names in several of the movies. The original continuity has like four movies, no, three movies, and the fourth changes the name of the family and there's like two more reboots and then a remake and then a sequel to the remake. So who you know? What are they up to? Like nine or eleven? Who the hell knows?

Speaker 2: 9:07

It's always when I demand for a flow chart, I always Want to see it, you know.

Speaker 1: 9:12

Yeah, what's funny about the Netflix one that we covered that actually last year too? I'm going through podcast memory now.

Speaker 1: 9:20

But, but that one pretty good praise, and that one's available on Netflix and it's actually like a direct sequel to the original. So if you get Just kind of like exhausted from all the sequels and trying to connect the dots or you just don't, we're like I can't consume that much Texas chains. I'm with you, pal, like just. I'll explain that opinion later too, in a little while. To stick around, I'm trying to make sure you listen to a more than eight minutes Teaser the whole night.

Speaker 1: 9:49

Well sorry, jordan, I had tried to turn the mic over and then I kept rambling.

Speaker 2: 9:52

I can do the synopsis right. So tonight we watched Texas chainsaw masquerade to. It is about a DJ that is stocked by leather face and it's twisted family. Meanwhile former Texas law man is out for revenge. So some savage stats for tonight's movie, starting off with what you had just pointed out Nobbin's. The corpse that chop top and leather face carry around with them is affectionately called nobbin's. Also appearing on the original cover art is that of the hitchhiker from the Texas chainsaw masquer 1974 nobbin Sawyer. So definitely makes a few appearances in this movie.

Speaker 1: 10:35

It was like they made a puppet out of the corpse and they carried around the whole movie. It's like yeah.

Speaker 2: 10:41

I thought that was like such an interesting bit in the very beginning too, because it's like, it's like leather face, but he's got like nobbin's in front of him. So I'm like, but I don't know which one is he. But you know, the name reveals himself. So Anyways, according to IMDb, director Toby Hooper and co-writer of their original Texas chainsaw masquer 1974, kim Pinkle originally had the idea for a sequel that would feature an entire town of cannibals and Also be a satire of the film motel hell 1980, which itself was a satire of the original Texas chainsaw massacre. The title of that sequel was to be Beyond the Valley of the Texas chainsaw massacre, but the studio forced considerable changes to be made to the screenplay, even hiring a new screenwriter, and the result of those changes Are what became of Texas chainsaw massacre too.

Speaker 1: 11:42

Okay, okay, time out, okay. So that's pretty interesting. Like I feel like a title like beyond the Valley of the Texas chainsaw massacre is like existential. It's more of like a thinking Wes Anderson version of Texas chainsaw master. That's what that title sounds like anyway, but like, well, there's, there's Valley of the dolls, which is like a classic 60s movie, and then beyond the Valley of the dolls, so obviously the titles like a play on those movies, whether the plot, yeah, whether the plot would tie into those two or not. What else did I want to say you, oh, the whole thing about um, no, I guess that's it.

Speaker 2: 12:22

Sorry.

Speaker 1: 12:22

I. You made me think of something else, but oh, whether it's a satire on Motel, hell, I didn't know that. Yeah, but this one would be the satire. Yeah, but they're in the conception they were trying to parody a movie that that took after Texas chainsaw. The only the only connection I can draw is like a kooky couple in Motel Hell like kills their guests and tries to cook them and serve them to the other people of their diner Right.

Speaker 2: 12:51

I think they have a dinosaur, the cannibal family.

Speaker 1: 12:54

Yeah exactly so like the same thing was like Texas award-winning barbecue made by a family of cannibals, right.

Speaker 2: 13:01

Right. So the family group shot. I thought this was pretty interesting. The family group shot, as seen in the advertisements, posters and video covers, uses the same positioning as a promotional group shot for the movie the breakfast club 1985. I can feel like I could just see it.

Speaker 1: 13:20

It's a killer poster. So all the high schoolers in in the this infamous like John Hughes comedy, the breakfast club, which is one of my, it's like in my top 10 movies of all time. It's in. It's in the top few. As I often catch Jordan saying this is her favorite podcast of the year, I often say, oh, this movie's in my top 25.

Speaker 2: 13:42

If every movie was in my top 10 or top 5.

Speaker 1: 13:45

They I would have too many top 5 for whatever. But I love the breakfast club and the fact that the Texas chance on a mask here to poster. I mean you used to sell a movie with the poster art, right, that's how you can get movies financed back in the day, that's what represented the movie on a conceptual level and it's what pre sold the movie tickets or whatever you know to the audience. Like killer, movie art was everything. And so, yeah, when Texas to parody the breakfast club, it was kind of like Probably set the tone that maybe Texas to would have a little bit of comedy in it than the other Massacres, right, so it definitely set a set itself apart. But it's really funny that, yeah, it takes, it takes after the. You know it's a mockery of the breakfast club thing.

Speaker 2: 14:27

Anyway, I'm just saying the artist iconic right Into, like the point you're making is that it would like set the tone for the movie and like yeah, you and I going into this. At least I don't have any sort of conception of what the movie is gonna be like and so, like that's kind of what they did to like tease you a little bit, and you know now I'm going in.

Speaker 1: 14:47

Yeah, I'm kind of a jerk. I made a safe bet that you hadn't seen Texas chains on a skirt before tonight, so I was like, oh yeah, soon, he thinks a bit all this stuff for sure.

Speaker 2: 14:57

Yes, stay tuned to hear what our favorite bits and how we read it.

Speaker 1: 15:02

Oh, you know body parts. Well, I mean, I guess, like I guess it could be actually.

Speaker 2: 15:08

Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. Okay, moving on to some more savage stats, we have Uh, denis hopper thought this was the most worst movie he's ever been in.

Speaker 1: 15:19

Uh, he also later said the same thing about super mario bros, 1993 you know this will be a controversial hot pic, but we stumbled across him in another movie that never got released. We covered that right. The denis hopper jody fischer movie right, we covered that yes, uh, where he plays like a hitman and he's chasing after a witness to a crime.

Speaker 1: 15:42

Jody foster, and so this romance movie we covered it. Go back and look it up. Anyway, I'm not. The only part bringing up is he seems to play an unhinged psychopath who doesn't like the movies in and every single one of his movies.

Speaker 2: 15:52

Like he's saying that this is my favorite episode of every podcast that we do.

Speaker 1: 15:57

Yeah, my favorite, denis hopper actually is probably one that he forgot about because he he goes all the way back to Easy Rider, so he is like a days hippie actor, but he's also considered like one of the most acclaimed days hippie actors. He plays a movie I think it's called far out where Keith or several and it's his son who's like an FBI agent and his dad's like an ex hippie, reformed, like activists or something right. So his dad's on the line on the run, you know, from some crime in the 60s, some protest or whatever, and it's obviously a buddy comedy, crime comedy, whatever. Probably people are like what I've never. What movie is that?

Speaker 1: 16:31

But I think Dennis Hopper plays the dad you know who was like the 60s guy. But if you just compare the two movies that we watched him in, you'd be like, yeah, dennis Hopper, you're just a weird guy. You know what I mean. Like it's not that the movies are bad that you're in, it's just like, yeah, we watched crazy Dennis. You would almost say like is he crazy in every movie? You know, because we went from that one movie and he's pretty eccentric in this movie, you know very.

Speaker 1: 17:01

Yeah. And then he is yeah. And then there's that David Lynch movies in Blue Velvet where he's sucking the oxygen. I'm pretty sure that's him. I mean, I should probably look that up. I don't know. If I screw that up I'll be in trouble. All the movie fans will roll over. Yeah the ones that are dead. Let me check, keep going.

Speaker 2: 17:18

Yeah, caroline Williams wanted to make a strong impression for her audition for the Texas chainsaw massacre too. So when she was called in she went to the end of the hallway and she ran screaming into the room, even pulled the Director's chair out to barricade the door when she was like screaming and doing her scene I am. Db quotes her as saying she didn't know that they would actually be chasing her with real chainsaws on set.

Speaker 1: 17:44

So I mean yeah, so that's, that's a couple crazy things, like I mean. Obviously you can see like why she won with her audition, right, but I would say that she screams. She screams more in this movie than she has lines of dialogue.

Speaker 1: 18:03

I think, yeah, here's the okay. I have not really watched this movie with an adult sensibility. If I'm an adult at all, I don't know, I've aged long enough to be one, I don't know if that matters, but this time I was annoyed by the amount of time that she spent screaming and I really thought, like, do you think the script says Scream scream, scream scream page 47, scream scream continued. Next scene, next page scream scream. You know? You know what I mean? Like like she seems to scream a lot.

Speaker 1: 18:34

Yeah, it is kind of nuts that they use real chainsaws to chase these people down. However, I do remember that they also went cheap at this one haunted house when we're little kids take one dude chase my little brother. My little brother was like hyperventilating. It probably is like real trauma.

Speaker 1: 18:50

So when he plays his episode back, it's gonna be great, yeah, so I mean room, room, whatever the chainsaw or whatever that chainsaw noise is, he like tapped the window with a chainsaw and clearly was a real chainsaw because it like skidded up the edge of our, our mother's, car and like, obviously it became a real problem. Yeah, no for car owners and the haunted house. But for us, I mean, my brother was just I mean we're talking like, like tears that shake your body. That's how many tears you know.

Speaker 2: 19:22

You got.

Speaker 1: 19:23

You got your money's worth, though but he was like probably like six or seven, so it's one. Oh, that's, yeah, too young.

Speaker 2: 19:31

She's also appeared in second installments of several, several popular horror franchises. Recently she was in run field and ten minutes to midnight a total scream Queen status.

Speaker 1: 19:44

Yes, she's in, including it up to Texas chance on massacre teeth.

Speaker 2: 19:48

Interesting a couple other ones, but I was just like, I'm not even gonna look up look up her IMDB.

Speaker 2: 19:52

We're telling you so many things, yes we're almost wrapped up with the savage stats we got. Co-star bill Mostly, who plays chop top, is also a horror icon known for the doubles rejects, house of a thousand corpses and night of the living dead 1990. He even made a short film parody of the Texas chainsaw massacre called Texas chainsaw massacre the short film film here oh. Oh, and the notes y'all Texas chainsaw manicure, which is what got him noticed for this movie. Texas chainsaw massacre too. So that's the stats.

Speaker 1: 20:39

Okay, so we'll be right back with favorite bits after these messages when they get back on the ball. Here see what we're doing. Thank you for being so savage, short so savage ah, here it is Okay.

Anyway, he be GBTV is out on October 13th on screen box, and those like a whole month of screaming things on screen box will be sure to tell you about them. Now back to the podcast Already in progress with Jordan Savage and her favorite bits from Texas chance on massacre. Let's find out if they actually are body parts, we'll find out.

Speaker 2: 22:35

I Probably say that one of my favorite bits is when that's her name right in the movie I got DJ Strat she, she's like being an initially chased down by leather face. Leather face has now broken into the room that she's been barricaded herself in and and she's like trying to escape a beer cooler Like wine and beer cooler at a radio station.

Speaker 1: 23:06

They have a commercial freezer at a radio station. I'm gonna put out a fall ability of whether or not you have a freezer like that in a public radio station.

Speaker 2: 23:15

But I don't know, maybe do love the product placement, though it's very meticulous in this one scene.

Speaker 1: 23:21

But leather face is what a purple lead. So if you were in a freezer you would see Probably name brands sodas and beers right.

Speaker 2: 23:28

Yeah, I mean it, but it's like. It's more like this metal trough filled.

Speaker 1: 23:33

Oh, you mean the big, though oh yeah, there is like a beer cooler in there that has like specific.

Speaker 2: 23:37

Yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah but leather face is getting after with the chainsaw and it's just a very interesting bit because obviously the chainsaw is like in the, in the ice, like oh, hold on.

Speaker 1: 23:54

She's talking about the scene where the girl convinces leather face Not the killer, because he gets horned up. And then he's really confused because usually when he gets horned up Somebody dies because he expresses himself with the chainsaw. She manages spoiler alert to not get hacked at pieces, not by changing and confusing his horniness into something other kind of feelings, and it's a very Jordan's, very politely dancing around this.

Speaker 2: 24:19

It was a very interesting intensity of the scene.

Speaker 1: 24:25

Yeah, they find a reason for a woman to be, I Don't know at least thigh down into a cooler filled with ice and beer and then teasing to save her own life. The chainsaw from a murderer Again. At this point you're so annoyed by how many times she screams. You're not really caring about, like you know, the exploitation of the sexuality in order for her to survive by using her feminine wilds. 1950s term that men created for dogs.

Speaker 2: 24:56

Get away Lesson of that terminology even we're trying to escape that room. I'm like he's in the other side of the guarding studio at this point, like run and open up. I don't know. There was a couple times where it was like what is she doing? But obviously where the cannibalist family lives is just incredibly cool. I wish I could be a place that I could like go venturing without there being cannibals and you know, it looked pretty interesting.

Speaker 1: 25:24

Texas. As long as there aren't cannibals, I mean, there probably is no matter what, but I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. There was your favorite thing is what are they doing with this chainsaw? What are they doing with this chainsaw? I don't know the whole.

Speaker 2: 25:38

Let me tell you, this whole movie was rather memorable for me. So yeah, once as soon as it started. Once you get chop-top in there, he's for reekin me out. Like was just so cringe. It was super spooky.

Speaker 1: 25:55

Like the appeal of Texas is. I'm asked there's are all was out in the country on like the farm or something right?

Speaker 1: 26:00

But this is one goes into like the city and they're killing yuppies on the freeway in there, you know, you or whatever, right, and like that's the opening, you know. I mean, yeah, it's recorded on the radio. So you kind of feel like, yeah, what if you brought these wild countryside maniacs into like downtown LA? The only thing I can relate to is we watched that movie neon maniacs, where they came up from under the bridge. Same thing, like they were, you know, mutants on a subway train going after normals. That's one of my favorite bits. Yeah, that, and when her friend so. So there's a very small radio station. Again, I feel like it's supported like public radio because there's a lot of Extra censorship levels that they're going through and their equipment. It doesn't seem like a really small radio outfit, right?

Speaker 1: 26:49

Her audio technician wakes up later in the amusement park home of the cannibals in this movie. Yeah, again, they're not in the farm, this time for somebody. What's funny is like they must have owned it. Okay, I feel like maybe this family has like Properties all across the state and when it gets too hot in one area they go to another one.

Speaker 1: 27:07

But that's again, that's a theory suggested by several movies just because, like they're on a farmhouse. In the first one and the Remakes they have a farmhouse and the new one they go back to the farmhouse and in this one they live in an amusement park but underneath it's like a mausoleum. So you would suggest that their family has been there for hundreds of years, right, based on the number of victims and the skeletons. What was my point? Oh so her audio technician, who we thought got murdered at the radio station, wakes up half dead and half skinned alive in like their another cooler that she gets stuck in and he's there with stretch and and what's and they played up for comedy, right, because he still has like a same Texas attitude and he's like trying to help her and Then at one point you know she realizes she's wearing his face.

Speaker 1: 27:57

He really is being worn by somebody else and that, like he just had like that realization, like, oh, I'm alive, but I'm not about to be right. What is what is?

Speaker 2: 28:06

his name.

Speaker 1: 28:08

It was like CT or something.

Speaker 2: 28:09

Yeah, it was some.

Speaker 1: 28:12

Yeah because she, everybody has a nickname, right, like the DJ I said his name and then she gives other people nicknames and yeah, she was called on like TC or something like that something like that, my favorite part of it all, she calls Dennis Hopper's character lefty because he happens to be a former, you know, texas lieutenant.

Speaker 2: 28:31

there's some law enforcement lieutenant, yeah but Tail it off of your bit where you know CT, or whatever his name is, comes to and he like, and he's like doing his best to kind of comfort her in his last moments, because he knows he's gonna die and he, you know, passes away, takes his last breath, last breath, and like she turns around and says I always loved you, ct. I was like what? And I was like she just denied him a date, like 20 minutes prior in the movie, because he wanted to, like, take her out.

Speaker 1: 29:15

Well, I guess she's going based on slim pickings, because the other options are the chains. Love with you and his brothers.

Speaker 2: 29:24

In one thing doing three things. Three, oh, my god. No, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1: 29:29

so I guess she had to go with the only best option, which although I was sitting here not that I want to like, I Want to think about the sex life of Leatherface or his family members. But there's so many brothers and they have grandparents that they bring back in every movie, sometimes their parents, sometimes your grandparents, and they're like half dead until you feed him fresh blood. That, um, somebody's breeding all these Leatherface and companies, right, yeah, it's so it's so at one point they would have to let women into the clan.

Speaker 1: 30:00

Right, we're talking about biology, basic biology. This is like this movie. It's the 70s and 80s. They didn't really think beyond. Like you know, this is a science fiction movie where you're growing people in a pod.

Speaker 1: 30:09

They have to be born literally the funhouse version of the Hills, have eyes like oh, let's watch Craven, yeah, but I mean, yeah, I mean again, it's uh, well, okay, so the root, the names Sawyer for Texas, chancellor, master, may have come from, like what is the name of the Scottish clan? There's a I Don't know if it's real Scottish history, if it's like an urban legend, but they talk about this clan from the Middle Ages that was like lived in a cave in Scotland or something like that, and supposedly what dabbled in cannibalism and and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is like supposedly based on a series of crimes here and there with the ed gain again, you know whatever In Americana. But what's interesting, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I want you to think it's real every time, because each movie, most of the movies, have like the new, the newsreel, the beginning Headlines or whatever. Right, oh wait, we're on the concept of whether or not the cannibals are inviting women into the cannibal plan, right, yes, that's what we got.

Speaker 1: 31:12

I was like, how do we get to the point where I'm talking about news clips at the beginning of the Texas Chainsaw movies? I Guess we should just rate the movies which Jordan kind of gave it away, maybe about 20 minutes ago, where she's she sounded very positive about Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. And again she neglected to text me anything about. The only thing she texted me this week was Harry Potter. Yeah, actually, no to actin's not even sure we we actually talked about Harry Potter.

Speaker 1: 31:43

We did and we talked about another movie, that we both watched too, oh yeah. Let's rate it, we've got.

Speaker 2: 31:53

Later, binge. Now put it at the top of your list. Stop drop and roll and go watch it immediately, immediately, binge later. Just get around to it. It's on the list but uh, you know you'll make some time for it Whenever the time comes. Binge never is. You can never get your time back for that movie. So I would have to say Binge later.

Speaker 1: 32:21

For me okay.

Speaker 2: 32:22

Yeah, I, I do like the campiness. It's like supposed to be cheesy on purpose, but there was some emotional rollercoasters. I would say it made me feel unhinged multiple times, which is probably the intent, but yeah, it was a roller coaster ride and then I felt like there wasn't a whole lot of resolve at the end, which I thought was Interesting. But what are your thoughts, john?

Speaker 1: 32:50

They're never really resolve.

Speaker 1: 32:52

I mean, I guess that's we know how nubbins got created, because if you watch the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, he's chasing the girl at the Sally at the end of the movie and, like all her friends are gone and then like letter faces also chasing them too, but then, like nubbins is the one who gets thrown over by the semi truck that shows up at the end of the movie and Then and then, of course, sally comes back for the Netflix sequel because it's a direct sequel to the first one. And again, maybe they're saying they cut, they copied the story device from bringing, like having a Halloween sequel that cut, they destroy it, like it raises all the other sequels and then goes back to original, like they did with Lori Strode and Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween. But I Waivered because I was annoyed by her scream this time, although I thought Caroline Williams is like one of the. There is only one better person. I didn't write our name down. I should look it up for next week and apologize. The actress.

Speaker 1: 33:43

And Leather face, which is Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, is just named. Leather face is a third sequel. They repeat the thing where they still I mean every single one of these movies the final girls always like nailed to the table and they're always trying to eat her at the family dinner. Usually it's like but I feel like that's the initiation right, because even at the end of Texas, too, the vague ending that you're talking about is like maybe the brothers grenade killed. Lefty killed Dennis Hopper's character, but he was having a chainsaw battle, right? She also well, again an iconic chainsaw battle before Mandy with Nicholas Cage. I don't know how many movies have chainsaw battles, but not many.

Speaker 2: 34:20

This is, and he was obviously them chainsaws. Yeah, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1: 34:25

I mean there's evil dead with ash right, and the first evil dead might have been made before. Evil dead too and I'm gonna be and I'm your darkness came after Texas chainsaw too. I'm not sure where evil dead to and Texas chainsaw too. I feel like they came out about the same time, around the same time. I don't know which one comes first to give it full credit, but Not a lot of chainsaw fights in movies. Of course, like I said, ash of the evil dead is known for being like the chainsaw anti hero, but, but chainsaw fight like a sword fight, no like doing chainsaws. This is pretty unique for that.

Speaker 1: 35:00

And I realized this was my entry film into Texas. I'm asking again it goes back to when we started this whole podcast oh my gosh, I'm tying it back in when I said you sometimes watch sequels more than you watch originals. Yeah, that's right, that's right. I saw Texas too, before anything else, and and the beginning of the movie was the highway and the radio station. Then you're in it and so because of that, maybe it's a little nostalgia rating. I don't know. Does that influence our rating system? I don't know. Maybe sometimes I would be a bench later if I didn't have so much history with the movie binge now, just because, if you're gonna complete your rounds with Texas chainsaw massacre to better be on your list, okay, let's see what else is going on.

Speaker 1: 35:42

Oh, are the fans chiming in? Not this week. They've been kind of quiet, however. Voice males they sent us some voice males about weird movies, which was our last run of movies. Now, since we're in a horror movie season, what are you watching for Halloween season? They'll send us little clips. Voice males, whatever. Get back to us about the horror movies that are on your playlist this year. Let us know what you're turning into and whether you agree with our rating. Who knows, maybe you don't know what you're doing, maybe you don't like Texas too, maybe you liked four or seven or the original, or you don't care at all Because you're one of those Staff picks. If you watched a movie that's not the movie of the week and you want to share it with everybody, what do you got for the class tonight, jordan?

Speaker 2: 36:28

We both watched talk to me, oh Starting with the good one. Yeah, that was so good, so good yeah.

Speaker 1: 36:42

You start. No, I just wanted to say like to give people a little set the set the Images, like if you ever wondered what's on the other side, or a Ouija board interaction. This movie shows you what's happening on the other side.

Speaker 2: 36:56

No, that was like. That's such a good way to put it right. It's a very unique concept of like You're going on to the other side, right when you're doing like a seance, or you know, you're doing your Ouija board, but no one really talks about like what you see, you know, and so they initiate, essentially speaking to the other side, and they hold this hand and they ask for them to let them in.

Speaker 1: 37:19

Well, okay, I'm not gonna take sides of the argument or facts or fiction. I'm just gonna say they have historically said something very creepy. You're never talking to the intended person on the other end. Well, you're trying to dial up through that technology or witchcraft or what I have you right? Just it's, or it's just a Merlin, or what is it. Milton Parker is at the board game company. Hmm, milton Bradley, or it's just a milk Bradley board game folks. The classic thing that I've heard around the campfires you just don't.

Speaker 2: 37:51

You don't know who's on the other answering right, yeah, this one and this one. You're essentially kind of seeing, obviously, who you're trying to probably speak to. Like in this movie's case, she's trying to she doesn't really know that she can. Did you're at the hair Knocked off the table? Back there.

Speaker 1: 38:22

Um. Play back the recording. There's a third voice on the microphone.

Speaker 2: 38:26

Super.

Speaker 1: 38:27

I don't know.

Speaker 2: 38:27

It's just wild. I it was. It was really good. It definitely got ramped up when she let the little boy Taken the ghost and that was just wild steak. Yeah, big mistake, big mistake. So yeah, ooh.

Speaker 1: 38:44

They used a classic storytelling device. They have the ticking clock. What they put it into. If you stay connected with the other side for more than 30 seconds, you get like possessed for life or something. So it's kind of a crazy way to amp up the stakes. Also, they don't know all the rules. It's another interesting. They don't know how the mechanism works, so they they kind of fumble and it causes many hardships. Get what I want to give it away. It's like Assuming things. We could devote a whole episode to that movie. Maybe it'll come back on the, it'll be in the playlist, but definitely at it. If you're looking for an interesting idea, an interesting concept, I'd say, take a look at that. Yeah, how I'm gonna now I'm gonna drag some movies through the mud.

Speaker 2: 39:26

Oh, do it okay.

Speaker 1: 39:28

So you know it's a dangerous thing for screen box to give us the keys to the kingdom because they don't know what we're gonna do with it. And listen, I have started to say that I like screen box better than shutter. I've only watched her a couple times to review movies in the last year and I pay for it every month and I never go back to it. Uh, and then the screen box started kicking out this cool stuff. But they made a mistake there. Someone's gonna they're gonna fire an intern, they're gonna sacrifice into the gods of Halloween. They wrote no embargo on your review of heebie gbtv. Oh my gosh, don't do that on a show like binge watchers podcast, because I want to spoil it y'all. Here it goes it binges now, binge later, binge never. It's a big binge, never. Oh yeah, it actually imitates the kids that are watching TV in the original Halloween. And then you, you can't. I mean they're spinning this tail. That. It's like Rick and Morty's Multidimensional cable. That's like a great skit show on Netflix called I think you should leave now to even dare treading on PB Playhouse. You know references and like no, no, you can't know. It's the closest in tone to goosebumps the TV show and not the movies with Jack Black. However, please Do not waste your time with he. Be GB TV and forgive screen box if that's the only thing you've seen of theirs. It's not fair. They actually started screaming. The Robo tech documentary Robo tech, yes, robo tech, which is also Macross, which is an anime, robo cop, doc, the Robo doc thing that Screenbox Distributed is also running on Amazon now. So that's a good. The documentaries I'm trying to sing the praises of other things because again They've kicked over like six screeners to us and this is the only one that I can't really be positive about because they they made too much of a bold claim of what it was supposed to be in comparison to you, right.

Speaker 1: 41:28

Then I was talking about in the headlines how they dropped totally killer, which is a time-traveling Murder movie, and we've been talking about that one like the slasher movie mixed with back to the future. We've been dropping that for like talking about this movie, like for six months. We've really built it up. It's been on our headlines like three times I think, and it's also a binge. Never I want my 90 minutes back. Yeah, I do. Yeah, if it wasn't free on Amazon, I wouldn't have done it, I wouldn't have watched it already. Hey, it's called totally killer and it totally sucks. You can quote me. You know I can't make and I don't know. Maybe you know, maybe this is gonna end up in the blog. I just don't know. Guys Don't know. I'm like threatening people with a bad their story. Yeah, I have a bad movie experience. You know, I have a physical reaction. They're chafed in sores nipples.

Speaker 1: 42:31

Yes, Like the ninth gate of hell opens up while I'm watching movies and it's a hellraiser situation over a bad movie. All right, hmm, but talk to me. Yeah, so that's three movies, we've only endorsed one. Sorry, that's just. It's freaking. October man Leave me alone.

Speaker 2: 42:53

It's how it shakes out sometimes.

Speaker 1: 42:55

Yeah, the way the cook crumbles. What's going on? Let's see, we've covered everything. We've either convinced people to watch Texas Jansot 2 or never to watch it at all, and we've just sacrificed a couple movies on the in the staff picks Exclusive. I Can't wait for the emails send them to Jordan's cat.

Speaker 2: 43:21

Yes, it's. You guys should know the email by now. It's Frank at W a podcast calm.

Speaker 1: 43:27

We actually have access to a wherewith movie that we're gonna be talking about next week and I have a high hopes for that one. We'll find out. We'll find out also, come back. We're talking about this alien outer space horror movie. I don't know if it's an invasion or just like a monster movie, but it's called the deadly spawn in. In the past it wasn't available, but it's starting to crop up again, so we're gonna dig into that classic, the deadly spawn, and we'll also be talking about some kind of Screenbox exclusive that has like a werewolf in it. Yeah, I Don't know, jordan, what do you think?

Speaker 2: 43:58

I'm ready for it.

Speaker 1: 44:00

I'm ready for the shaky shivers, but I'm gonna scare me again at the end of the show.

Speaker 1: 44:08

Yeah repeat terror. You can't see it, but or maybe you can. Up here there's a top-shelfy type thing. What I'm showing you folks is after the, there's a little extra, usually after the ending song, and we just are telling the extra details. There's a shelf here of pops and They've shifted. We'll talk about scary things. Why did my pops moves? Okay, okay, I seen it. Yeah, that's a means more credibility than just seeing something. If you've seen it, you've past tense, the singing of it all, and it's just to be taken that much more serious. Yeah.
