Listen Later

"I did not enjoy watching this." This week, the Brides gnaw on some homemade headcheese and get delirious with heat stroke as we discuss one of cinema's sweatiest films: Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.  Along the way, we touch on the truly horrific conditions of the shoot, how one of the best shots in horror almost didn't make the cut, and Hooper sincerely trying to get this movie rated PG by the MPAA. (No joke.) We also go into detail on one of the inspirations for the film, notorious Wisconsin grave robber Ed Gein. We wrap things up with palate cleansers, and Lindsay's cat nearly ruins everything.
