Episode 1: 0:00-1:14 "The Opening Crawl"

Each episode we will explore the darkest nightmare ever committed to celluloid by looking at the film in 74 second slices (or 1 minute and 14 seconds to be precise) in an ode to the year of its release. As we battle the Texas heat, avoid Hitchhikers, and decline at the table as we go Off the Hook and hack apart the mad and the macabre of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It’s gonna be a fun trip! And remember-there are moments when we cannot believe what is happening is actually true. But pinch yourself and you might find out that it is.
