  • DSR 10/28/20: Chip Chat's Film Frights
    For this week's Chip Chat, we leave behind the horrors of the election season and government abuses that we normally discuss, to instead talk about some film horrors. On this lighter edition, Chip talks about some of the movies he's been watching as part of his Halloween film fest. Listen to hear why Hereditary is, actually, and what role Marxism plays in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Also, why the hell is Richard Gere so horny in all of his movies?!
