Ian talks with filmmaker, film essayist, and author Scout Tafoya about his new book, Cinemaphagy: On the Psychedelic Classical Form of Tobe Hooper!Tobe Hooper directed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, and other wildly influential horror films--but his legacy hasn't been nearly as heralded as many genre fans believe it should be.In his thorough analysis, Tafoya explores the themes, technique, and relevance of Hooper's filmography--from the household name classics to obscure experimental films, music videos, and more than a dozen episodes of genre television.In this pinballing conversation, the guys look at Scout's career in dissecting cinema; his affinity for Hooper; film critic blindspots, and that lingering controversy about the true director of POLTERGEIST! As a bonus, the guys look back on 35 years of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2!
