The dawn of horror as we know it may be the best way I have seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre described. Directed and co-written by a then upcoming filmmaker from Texas named Tobe Hooper, the original 1974 film tore through audiences and has had such a lasting impact on horror culture that filmmakers such as Rob Zombie and Eli Roth constantly cite it as their inspiration. But with three sequels and a myriad of remakes and retellings in its path, does the series deserve its place on the upper echelon of horror film series ever made? That's what me, Matthew Goudreau, and Mik Duffy are here to discuss.

By 1990, New Line Cinema was a big deal in the world of horror. Horror icon Freddy Krueger had made them a powerful commodity, and they seemed to be taking small steps in purchasing the rights to each horror franchise out there. But before taking Friday the 13th for cheap from Paramount, the company tried their hands at Leatherface. Released with the tagline 'the most controversial horror film ever made', Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3 was released with very little fan fare. But some have warmed up to it over the years. Will any of us agree with that assessment?

And then, we come to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. Written and directed by one of the co-writers of the first film Kim Henkel, the fourth film of the franchise is most well known for being the starting point for future Academy Award winners Renee Zelwegger and Matthew McConaughey. I am going to end my description of this podcast with the statement that one final review by one of us is perhaps the most shocking (controversial?) review ever given on this show. Who gives it? Listen below to find out!

Thanks for listening and remember, keep coming back as we look at each film of the franchise, stopping at last year's Leatherface.

Batch and Logan are coming (ew) at you with a brand new and content-heavy Small Screen Heroes. After a small Lawlapalooza discussion, the boys dissect a ton of news from San Diego Comic-Con 2018, then make their way through trailer round up with Venom and Shazam. It wouldn't be Small Screen Heroes without some comics, so the dynamic duo cover the recent relaunch of Amazing Spider-Man, Astonishing X-Men, the Incredibles 2 comic, Dr. Strange, and Cosmic Ghost Rider. Hashtag Baby Thanos. Then the show begins to wrap up with a brief review of Ant-Man of the Wasp and a discussion regarding the official purchase of 21st Century Fox by Disney. Theories about Wolverine showing up in the MCU leads to jizz all over the place. Don't act surprised.

The dawn of horror as we know it may be the best way I have seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre described. Directed and co-written by a then upcoming filmmaker from Texas named Tobe Hooper, the original 1974 film tore through audiences and has had such a lasting impact on horror culture that filmmakers such as Rob Zombie and Eli Roth constantly cite it as their inspiration. But with three sequels and a myriad of remakes and retellings in its path, does the series deserve its place on the upper echelon of horror film series ever made? That's what me, Matthew Goudreau, and Mik Duffy are here to discuss.

Inspired by his laying eyes on a chainsaw while in the midst of Christmas shopping, director Tobe Hooper took what amounted to a $140,000 budget and made a nightmare of a film called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. With audiences reveling and critics reviled, Hooper's film has garnered quite a following over the years, of which we are still seeing the influence of today. Constantly on top of best of horror lists year after year, me, Matt, and Mik dissect the seminal favorite and decide whether the film deserves its notoriety, or if its all hyperbole for an overrated film.

But that's not all. Afterward, we do indeed track the making of Hooper's follow-up, fittingly called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. With a crazy plot and an even crazier Dennis Hopper wielding chainsaws, the Cannon film has both its lovers and detractors. But which way do we fall? Listen below to find out!

And be sure to keep checking this space in the weeks to come, as we are going through each film, two at a time, all the way through last year's Leatherface.

TV Round Up Commentaries are back, baby!  The premiere of Better Call Saul's fourth season rolled out last week and me and Tom Moloney are picking up the slack.  It's just too bad we completely forgot everything about season 3.  Oh well, there's always wikipedia.
